Falling Diamonds

May 11, 2016 by Nina 24 Comments

Good evening everyone!  I hope you are all having a great hump day!  I am counting down the hours until Friday!!!  For my midweek post I decided to share another lovely pink lacquer and Nana by Zoya fit the bill perfectly.

For today’s look I started with two coats of Nana by Zoya.  Now I will note that this lacquer appears to be a bit of a stainer so load up on that protecting base coat, I like to use two coats of SuperChic Lacquer Bring On The Base.  Next I used a dabbing technique with Techno by China Glaze to create a glitter gradient that ended up looking like falling diamonds.  Everything is sealed with two coats of SuperChic Lacquer Liquid Macro Top Coat.

So what do you think of today’s mani?  Over all I am very pleased!  These were extra sparkly and the perfect midweek pick me up!  Thank you so much for stopping by today and I will see you all again tomorrow.

It was a crazy week at home with appointments, taking care of a sick puppy, and managing a household, but I wanted to share some more lovely lacquers from SuperChic Lacquer. Today, I have Psycho from SuperChic Lacquer to share. This was just the perfect silver holographic crackle shade for Halloween since it was inspired by the film Psycho, and I thought a red glitter base would be the ideal pairing....
