I was going for a half-moon mani with white at the base and frosted white over the top but that didn’t work out. So I decided to just glitter my ass off.

This is 3 coats of Essie “Pure Pearlfection” and one coat of Essie “Shine of the Times.” And a topcoat of Seche Vite. The sparkles! Oh god the sparkles! The Hot Wheels car has no name on it but it says Payback on the side. I did a quick search and found an eBay seller who also identified it as Payback.

Anyway. Please forgive the clean-up. You know how stray glitter is. You can go over it and over it with acetone but it just sticks to your skin.

Oh and I decided to try doing a gif to capture the sparkle, thanks to inspiration from One Gent’s Ten. I tried an app called Cinegram but it went all wonky.
