cult nails water marble

for this i used all cult nails products.  the purple is my kind of cool aid, the black is nevermore, and the goldish shimmer is baker.

these spread really well on the water, though my water wasn't quite room temp, so next time i do this i'll be sure to leave it sit out a lot longer.  the amount of shimmer in these that spread out over the water while dropping colors in is crazy.  it looked really cool.

nevermore is perfect for doing water marbles.  other blacks that i have used tend to really fade out.  that wasn't the case with nevermore. 

really really happy with how these turned out.

ugh, angry cuticles :(  and trying to take a picture of your right hand is pretty akward...

cult nails - let's get nekkid collection

i finished ordering the rest of this set and received my package last week, just now getting around to posting pictures.  i did get a 2nd bottle of toxic seaweed as a backup.  it's a gorgeous color, limited edition and sold out on cult nails.  i have worn baker and swanbourne already. the application is great, they each covered in 2 thin-ish coats.  these all have really pretty sparkles in them.  you can kinda see the gold flecks the pictures below.  i don't normally go for neutral colors, but the ones i've tried so far look really nice once applied.

i did also pick up the get it on/wicked fast base and topcoat set.  these are probably the best base/topcoats i've ever used. they are very thin, but the consistency goes on quite well.  there's no shrinkage with wicked fast like what i get with seche vite.  i have tried it with wicked fast first then seche vite over the top and got the most glassy finish.   i will definitely continue to use these two products.

probably next week i'll start posting swatch pics since my nails are already starting to grow out from being cut all the way down.

here's pics of the collection:
