Mani Mondays: July 4, 2016

Hello Friends, long time no see!  I've been gone forever, you probably thought I died, but I didn't. I'm here, alive, and ready to blog again!  It's been months, but school got stressful, blah blah blah, but never fear, I'm back and I pinky promise more blogposts!

Speaking of pinkies... what a better way to come back to the blogosphere than with a Mani Mondays! I've recently gotten back into actually doing my nails, rather than just painting them and I've been OBSESSED with holographic polishes!  This week's Mani Monday is a happy marriage of my two favorite things, baby pink and holo glitter, so without further ado...

This week I have Zoya Dot with Revlon Transforming Effects in Holographic Pearls on top!

In my past Mani Mondays posts, I've mentioned that I use OPI Nail Envy as my base coat, but I've since run out and I started using this Clear Bond base coat from INM.  It's definitely no Nail Envy, but it beats the price.

Zoya Dot has become my go-to nail polish.  It's a gorgeous baby pink which means it usually goes with anything and can also make a statement.  

I've become obsessed with holo glitter ever since I discovered Simply Nailogical on YouTube (thanks Cristine) and when I found this holo polish by Revlon Transforming Effects in Holographic Pearls at my local Bed, Bath, and Beyond (what is beyond??) I snatched it faster than I snatch up chicken nuggets, and that's saying something.  Ever since, I've been putting it on top of every polish I own and even wearing it by itself.  I've taken tons of Snapchat videos of it and tweeted about it.  I'm obsessed.  I've included two photos, one without flash, and one with, and also a video so you can see those beautiful holos in action.

look at those holos werk (on my thumb too!)

And last, but not least, I still use my holy grail top coat, Out the Door, to seal in the design and add a beautiful shine! (sorry CutePolish).

And that is my mani for this week!  I've been wanting to post a Mani Monday forever, but because I switched my mani days from Sunday to Wednesday, it changed everything.  By the time I remembered to take photos of my nails, they were chipped and ugly :/ but I'm going to tie a string on my finger and remember to take photos right after I do them, pinky promise!

I hope you enjoyed this week's mani!  I've missed you!  Thanks for reading :))))))

Love, Cat <3
