cult nails - toxic seaweed

i have had this on the last few days.  really love the coppery shimmer that it has.

no basecoat, 2 coats - could have probably done a 3rd thin one, but 2 was looking good, seche vite topcoat.

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:

more cult nails randomness

here are the other cult nails i currently have. once i get the collections filled out i'll post pics of them all together like what was posted earlier with the divas and drama collection.
