Leopard Print Skittle Nail Art with Fresh Paint Guava

Artificial lighting
For today's manicure, I have a fun skittle style leopard print that is great for summer.

The main polish that I used is Fresh Paint Guava. It's one my favorite polishes to use for summer.
Fresh Paint polish is exclusively available at Five Below, but it can be easily found elsewhere.

Glisten & Glow Lacey Skittles Nail Art



Hello all! Today's mani is a skittles nail art design featuring two polishes from one of my favorite indie brands, Glisten & Glow. The two colors are Fairy's Tryst (from The Holo Hookup August 2017) and Parasail in Puerto Rico.

Both polishes have that awesome Glisten & Glow formula and went on in two coats. Fairy's Tryst is extremely holographic silver polish with a hint of green shimmer and some silver microglitters. It's absolutely gorgeous. My mom picked this up in a destash and passed it on to me :)

I added a lace stamp design to my ring finger for an easy mani. Also seriously, how gorgeous is Fairy's Tryst? The last photo is in natural light at 7pm when the light was going away. And it's still super holo!

Black Poppy Skittles

I belong to an awesome nail polish group where we swap polish but also post polish for free (just pay postage!).  Today's feature polish is one that I just paid postage for :)

This is a dark teal polish courtesy of Black Poppy. Black Poppy polish is sold at PacSun. Unfortunately, that's all I found out about this company. This is also no name or number on the polish.  But it's gorgeous!


I used two coats of the dark teal as my base coat. It was wonderfully opaque in one coat though. I needed the second to help cover up brush lines though and even things out.
The dark teal is soooo opaque that it stains though :( It's also watery so it flooded a bit and was hard to control. (Maybe that's why I got it for free).


But I still like it. The color is just too pretty not to! I left the dark teal polish by itself on my middle finger.

On my ring and thumb, I layered a coat of Lynnderella Connect the Dots.  I added a simple stripe on my index using China Glaze Stone Cold and left the matte finish there. On my pinkie, I used Wet n Wild Black Creme to create a gradient effect which looks so great with the dark teal.


I loved how this mani turned out so much that I couldn't stop myself from staring at it! That's especially dangerous while driving ;)
