Daiquiri Nailz

One of the new colors I got for Christmas. Really really nice self-leveling. Looked a little brighter/neon than I would have liked. Might mix this one with some white or off-white next time.

I really need to remember that the jelly paint looks so good as the last color coat. It just evens out the nail shape/texture so well.

3D Foil Nailz

Bright white, 3d sculpted putty, thin foil, top coat. The foil is already starting to chip away. I def want to work with it more though! And I want to practice getting those smooth organic shapes with the putty. It’s harder than it looks!
