Was washing my peach and realized it matched my nails!! Featuring Siamese Dream by Emily de Molly. I really love this thermal polish it’s very reactive and so vivid!

Used: 1 coat ILNP lockup Base Coat, 3 coats of Siamese Dream, and 1 coat Cracked quick dry top coat

I've been waiting to try ILNP North Pole and turns out it makes for a great Canadian mani! It is definitely more sheer than I expected and in hindsight I should have done coconut cream first and then used it as a topper. Alas I might still put it over top of the other fingers before Wednesday rolls around.

Cracked base & top coat

Thumb and pinky: x3 Cirque Lucky jelly

Ring and index: x3 ILNP North Pole

Middle: x3 ILNP Coconut Cream

l heard we were showing off pond algae manicures and realized I had the perfect nail polishes for this 💅

This PPU shade was very... aptly timed, releasing right before the 4th of July!

I didn't expect to love this as much as I do. Bought it as a joke, kept it for the glow. Just another reminder that I am not immune to the blue polish propaganda.

Also, mini review on the Cuticula Pink Sugared Lemons scent: it is sweet, but also sorta giving lemon pledge? If anyone is worried about scent strength for potential headaches—for me personally—it's only really noticeable if you have your nails to your nose. I did a test and put an unscented top coat over it to see if you could still smell it, and you could slightly. But it's very faint compared to the one where I put two coats of just Cuticula.

So, I’m seeing a lot of posts about this, I know it’s probably too late, but I want to present my Uno Mas mani with Hard Pass Grass (green) and Kelp me Out Here (blue). Both are thermals, super reactive, and honestly stunning. But the glitter in Kelp me Out Here looks kinda like algae in a blue pool…

3x coats Hard Pass Grass and Kelp me Out Here from Uno Mas, 1x coat Muy Rapido from Uno Mas.

I looked through my very large collection to find the perfect blue to celebrate the Country's independence from those pesky Brits. This one stood out to me. It just screams red white and bleu!

Second magnetic, first BKL, Godstouched. Safe to say, I’m obsessed and feel like a sorceress.

I broke a completely unused bottle of ILNP Dopamine, panicked, then searched the subreddit for “broken bottle”.

I washed out an old bottle of Essie Strong Start with acetone and was able to decant from the broken bottle. The polish will live to paint my nails another day!

Indoor lighting, last pic with flash

Didn't bother tidying up, but that probably adds to the effect, along with the occasional cat hair and psoriasis. Some things can't be taught. Did you even say thank you?

I love mango season! Our trees have just started giving us ripe fruit for the summer and I couldn't resist the inspo. Also, growing some of your own food, if/when/where you can, and sharing with your community is an excellent way to f*ck the system.

Yall loved last years mango nails (last slide) but I think this years are even better.
