Happy 4th everyone!
I had some bizarre inspiration a bit before midnight on the 3rd to do a striped manicure using HITS Apollo (blue), Hefesto (silver) and Ares (red). I put it over two coats of Ulta Snow White so Hefesto would look more white in the middle, but still have the same holographic pop as the other two.
Obviously I did this by hand with no tape or anything and you can see at midnight a steady hand I have not. But I still sort of loved it, epic flaws and all. It was mine and it looked dazzling poolside while celebrating the day.
Ulta Snow White is the next white in a long line of whites I've tried and hated. Someday perhaps I'll find you the perfect white! I've always been happy with all of my HITS from the No Olimpio collection and these were no exception!
As a bonus, I'll show you what I did on my toes. Two Coats of China Glaze Riding the Waves, a sheer blue jelly with one coat of Lush Lacquer Snap, Crackle, Pop on top. I usually get my pedicures done professionaly, but I haven't had the time lately, so I did it myself. OY. It looks like I painted it on with my left hand or something. Oh well, from afar, they are fun and sassy!
Riding the waves is sheer, but this was two coats. Obviously from a distance there is no worry about VNL or what have you. Snap, Crackle, Pop is such a fun patriotic mish mash. I got so many compliments on it at the party.
