Twinsie Tuesday 3 Layer Experiment

I was pleasantly surprised with my 3 layer polish experiment for this week's Twinsie Tuesday theme.

The idea was to pick 3 polishes to layer over each other. We were supposed to choose 3 random polishes, but I went with what I already had on my nails as the base color, which was Essie Lilacism.

Then I layered Aloha Surf by Island Girl Hawaii. I love this fun glitter! I knew I wanted to use a cream and a glitter and some type of sheer effect to top it all off.

So, for my third layer I chose Sinful Colors Let Me Go. It is a verrrry sheer duochrome. Love the flashes of green, and in certain lights there is a flash of gold. I actually really ended up loving my final product!

Essie Lilacism

Hello hello

My little luvey Nalaya got me Lilacism for my birthday! It is such a lovely, creamy purple. Soft and pretty but still has a punch to it.

Lilacism was easy to apply, 2 medium coats and I was good to go. This is definately one of my favorite Essie's.

Twinsie Tuesday Floral

Hello friends, welcome to Twinsie Tuesday! We are showing off a Floral mani this week. I tried some free hand flowers.

My basecoat is It's All About the Glam by NOPI The Kardashian Collection, which I got for my birthday, and I am in love with, btw.

I used Lilacism by Essie (another bday pressie) for the light purple roses, and Night Before by Rimmel for the dark purple accents. Mint Apply by Sinful Colors is the leaves.
