Palate Cleanser

Hey guys!

Today I have some neutral nail art inspired by @nata_berestova to share with you!
After all the Christmas nail art I really needed something simple to act like a palate cleanser for me.

For the manicure I started off with a taupe base of piCture pOlish Merge on my pointer, middle finger and thumb, and a dark purple/taupe base of piCture pOlish Sisters on my ring finger. On my ring finger I used the two polishes and a make-up sponge to create the vertical gradient.

I love a simple vertical gradient like this one!

Election Coming Up!

Hey guys!

Today I have some nail art that is very special to me to share with you!
I am running to be a member of the Central Denmark Regional Counsil and this manicure is inspired by the political party I represent.

For the manicure I started off with a deep blue base of Essie Style Cartel on my pointer, middle finger, and thumb. Afterwards I painted one-third of my pinky and ring finger with the white Essence Wild White Ways. Lastly I added the decal shaped as a V that I made by cutting it out of a dry piece of the orange nail polish China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy.

I will be insanely busy the next couple of weeks due to my election campaign, which is why I won't be posting as much.

BOW Thermo Top Coat Black

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of BOW Thermo Top Coat Black to share with you!
Thermo Top Coat Black is a thermal polish that ranges from a sheer light grey to black with tiny holographic flakes.

The formula is good. I applied it over the nude polish Cirque Colors Dakota stamped with the black polish Essie Licorice and the MoYou London Holy Shapes 03 stamping plate on my middle and ring finger. It applied beautifully with one easy coat, but unfortunately it did make streaks in my stamping nail art.
The thermal shift is stunning and it shifts quickly in different temperatures.

Above the polish is in its hot state and below it is in its cold state.

It really is a shame that it smeared my nail art, because I think the disappearing nail art effect is awesome!
