One of the polishes I used for this mani is Lynderella's Connect the Dots. Just like all of Lynn's polishes (at least the four I have), pictures do it no justice. Don't get me wrong, CtD is gorgeous in pictures and I've seen some quality swatches from some lovely nail-bloggers, but when you get a Lynnderella polish on your nails, it is stunning. CtD is a neat combo of black and white micro, hex, and bar glitters, and it looks great over bright colors.
The base for this mani was Daisy by Julep. Daisy is a bright, sunshine yellow. It's the first yellow polish I've ever owned/worn, and I love it! I haven't used many Julep polishes yet, but so far I have been impressed by the formula. Daisy is no exception. Easy application, coverage in 2 coats, and looks great!
I recently acquired OPI's entire Vintage Minnie collection, thanks to Copious credits! To top off this mani, I used one coat of There's Nothin' Mousie About It, which is a sheer pink polish with flakies and pink heart glitter. I was inspired by Lynnderella's Connect the Heart, which is her CtD with pink, white, and red heart glitter and a soft pink shimmer in a pink-tinted base. It's rare and hard to find, so this was the next best thing for me! What I like about my mani is that I was able to manipulate the hearts so there is one piece of glitter per nail. It's a subtle, girlie touch. I hope you enjoy the photos!
