#manicure #extremityfetish I love a good flakie topper. Sugar and Spice over Midnight Drive both Mooncat. 😃

#manicure #extremityfetish Aaaah. That's so much better. *phew* Vintage Lampshade by Cracked. Still super green, but way less precious. And it looks like three or four different shades depending on the light! I do love a shifty polish.

#manicure #extremityfetish So this was an interesting experience. I thought it would be fun to do a St Patrick's Day mani. I like green, I have dotting tools I wanted to play with, and 'tis the season. So I came up with a plan, picked polishes I like (Plankton is the shimmer, Beowulf is the creme...

#manicure #extremityfetish In honour of this week's blood moon, it felt appropriate to use Mooncat's Blood Moon polish (ring finger, burgundy). From there I decided to build a dark-coloured linear holographic skittle, so: Cruel Mirage (pinky, black), Monster Under Your Head (middle, green)...

#manicure #extremityfetish It's back to green this week! Couldn't stay away for too long. Here, Dolla Dolla Bill Y'all from Cracked Polish on four fingers (apparently the same green as a US bill?)...

#manicure #extremityfetish Behold, my very first magnetic. Magnetics are polishes with a magnetic pigment that pulls away from the base pigment and gathers in a given shape or style depending on what kind of magnet you hold near the nail while the polish dries.

#manicure #extremityfetish This week I wanted to build a skittle around a new polish from Cracked that's named after a Leonard Cohen lyric I love, That's How the Light Gets In (it's the black with purple and aqua flakes and glitter on my ring finger). ...

#manicure #extremityfetish Most polish is pretty much eternal, as in, you can revive it with thinner even if it's all dried up. But thermals eventually stop doing the colour-change thing, even if they still function as a one-colour polish.

#manicure #extremityfetish This week I wanted something lighter, and I'd been looking forward to trying out this concept: a cool-toned skittle with contrasting coppery-orange shimmer. I already had two polishes with the right look (thumb: Ex-Spearmint by Cracked; pinky: After the Rain by Mooncat).
