Cult Nails Awakening + Cult Nails Hypnotize Me + OPI Crown Me Already

September 23, 2011

I have been playing with my Cult Nails polishes again! Today I have for you Cult Nails Awakening and Cult Nails Hypnotize Me. First up is Awakening by itself. This is three coats. This polish is AMAZING! This is three coats! I absolutely LOVE this color! 

Before I forget I wanted to add that Cult Nails polish dries really fast! 

Then I added one coat of Cult Nails Hypnotize Me over Cult Nails Awakening.  Hypnotize Me has a green tinted base with some green and blue glitter mixed into it! I really like this combination, and I can't wait to try it over other colors like in the grey or black family! 

Because I think Cult Nails Awakening is so amazing and in my opinion is a jelly polish?, I had to use it as the main polish in a jelly sandwich manicure. This is two coats of Cult Nails Awakening, followed by one coat of OPI Crown Me Already, followed by a final coat of Cult Nails Awakening. No top coat! Isn't this just AMAZING?

Nfu Oh JS-16 (jelly finish polish) + OPI Traffic Stopper Copper Top Coat

September 02, 2011

This was my first attempt at a jelly sandwich manicure. I think it turned out very well. I actually wore it for four days! This is a new jelly finish polish that I bought from fabuloustreet.com/ (Remember I hauled about it last week. Click here to see that post.). Capturing the true color of this polish was very difficult. I could only capture the true color outdoors in direct sunlight (which washed out the beauty of the manicure, but oh well, atleast I caught the true color of the polish. And you can see the glitter quite well). 

Generally I like to take my pictures indoors, but this is what the polished looked like when I took the photo indoors--NOTHING like the true color. 

Isn't that insane how lighting can change the color of a polish that dramatically in a photo?! Anyways, the base coat is two coats of Nfu Oh JS-16, followed by one coat of OPI Traffic Stopper Cooper, followed by one thin coat of Nfu Oh JS-16. Here are some more photos for you to enjoy.

In the following photos, I wanted to show you what the manicure looked like without that final top coat of Nfu Oh JS-16. As you can see the glitter pops out more dramatically. In the next two photos, it is two coats of Nfu Oh JS-16 and one coat of OPI. 

In these two close up photos, you can really see the difference that last top coat of the jelly polish does for the manicure.
