Mood

So this week I got to stop by Claire's and get some of their Mood polishes! I had seen swatches on a few other blogs and thought they were awesome! They change color with heat and have a very nice effect on medium, to longer length nails. They were even better in person than I had imagined! Unfortunately I'm missing Calm/Wild (purple and pink) and Fabulous/Funky (pink and fuchsia). I used my favorite of the bunch (Happy/Earthy) to do my current mani! :)

-Konad Black

-China Glaze Devotion

-Konad Plate m51

I wish I would've swatched the Mood polish by itself so you can see the full effect on it's own but I just got too excited and jumped right into the st amping! :/ But I think you can still see the difference in color, especially if you enlarge the first picture! :)

Ruffian

-China Glaze Devotion

-Illamasqua Harsh

-Zoya Suvi

One coat of Devotion (metallic silver color), one coat Harsh (silver glitter) and two coats of Suvi (emerald green). My first ruffian manicure! I like the overall outcome but the glitter underneath the green is a little distracting because it looks bubbley :/ I'll probably try using a matte color as the final coat next time! :)

-Illamasqua Harsh

My first attempt at marbled nails, but I think they came out pretty nice! The two MAC polishes are originally very dark colors but they came out a lot lighter than I had hoped. It can be a pain finding polishes that work well with this technique but I will definitely be experimenting with this again!
