Please share your nail looks, nail art and manicures!

I can mostly ignore Cirque; their prices are high for such a small bottle, and they just don't have much that speaks to me most of the time...but their jellies are my absolute downfall and I bet I wind up with most, if not all, of these. Sigh. Now to start watching for sales!

Glazed collection, launching tomorrow!

@RGbrown oooh, I've hardly been on IG for the last couple of days so I hadn't seen this since they announced that a new collection would be coming!  I like Cirque.

@CookieGirl1 

They actually sent this via email lol, I couldn't tell you the last time I opened IG 😋

Time for some bright color after my last set, candy style! My choices from the China Glaze Wonka collection plus a bonus Clionadh Wonka themed polish 🍬

China Glaze Pure Imagination: bright purple crelly with pink/orange shifting shimmer. My camera doesn't pick up the shimmer that well, but it is most definitely noticeable in real life. Two coats got me smooth and even coverage, nearly opaque, though I added a third to see if it got any richer or deeper, and maybe it did a little, but I'm not sure it was necessary. This is a gorgeous color, very easy to work with. 

China Glaze Noodle: dusty teal shimmer, somehow both bright and muted all at once. In some lights, the shimmer appears to have a blue to purple shift, though it's subtle and not likely something anyone but you would notice. Nearly one coater, very easy formula.

Clionadh I Want An Everlasting Gobstopper: clear base filled with silver (microflakies? large particle shimmer? not sure what exactly it is, but it's certainly sparkly ✨) and a generous dose of flakies in pink, red, purple, blue, green, and gold, and a pinch of holo as well. I was mostly sure I had full coverage at two coats, but did a third just to be sure. 

China Glaze For The Dreamers: deep berry jelly with super sparkly glitter. This one was a bit thick and gloopy, getting gummy almost immediately on the nail, but adding some thinner helped tremendously and made it much more workable. This one seemed to get very textured as it was drying, so much so that I watched a few swatch videos today just to see if anyone else thought it might have been intentional on CG's part to mimic a Zoya Pixie Dust, but none of the swatchers mentioned that theory, so maybe that wasn't the plan 🤔 In any case, I added two coats of clear polish before topcoat, and it's a glassy smooth sparkle bomb 💖

I wish the sun would come out, but it's a cloudy day ☁️

Indirect light 

The contrasting shimmer in the purple is so hard to pick up for some reason, but this catches a bit of it on my pinky. Bonus blurry toes which happen to be wearing the same polish 🤣

Flash to pick up some of the holo in the Clionadh polish 🌈✨

Impressive @RGbrown !! 😍😍😍 I can’t choose a favorite! 

[RGbrown]

@Saradestin 

Thanks so much! And me neither 😂✨🩵💜🩷🤍

Wonka would be proud of this set @RGbrown! The polishes look fabulous together! Clionadh I Want An Everlasting Gobstopper is dazzing and just fits perfectly with the China Glaze polishes you selected! 💅

[RGbrown]

@itsfi 

Thanks so much! I love how well Clionadh worked with the CG set, so sparkly 💖

[RGbrown]

@ather 

Thanks so much! It really is a fun theme, always lending itself to bright and sweet colors 💖

[Titian06]
