Mani Mondays: October 3, 2016

Aloooooha Friends!  It's been a long time since I've posted a Mani Mondays because I don't do my nails on Sundays anymore and I always forget to take photos before they get all ugly and chipped, but I remember this time!!!!! High fives all around!  (And literally after I typed that, one of my nails chipped...)  Honestly, my nails this week aren't super amazing or anything, but I'm still obsessed with the holo top coat that I shared last Mani Monday so I had to share a variation of it this week!

This week on my nails I have Zoya Kendal and Revlon Transforming Effects in Holographic Pearls.

As always, I start with a base coat.  I still use INM Clear Bond base coat, although nothing tops OPI Original Nail Envy.

Then I paint two coats of Zoya Kendal on all of my nails.  I love this lavender beige polish because it fits the popular neutral nails trend, without sacrificing color.  It's also super opaque, but I still apply two coats because the tips of my natural nails are also very opaque and are harder to cover, even with a super opaque polish.

After letting my nails dry, I apply a thin layer of Revlon Transforming Effects in Holographic Pearls. You guys know I'm obsessed with holo and this polish is no exception.  I always try to find a way to incorporate holo into my nails.

Finally, I finish my nails with my beloved Out the Door glossy top coat.  Don't forget to "wrap" the tips of your nails to prolong your wear!

VOILA!  Here's my holo-tastic mani in action!

A LIL TIP: Let your first coat of polish dry for 2 minutes before applying your second coat.  Let your second coat dry for 5 minutes before a third coat or top coat.  Let your third coat dry for 7 minutes before any more coats.  After top coat, let your nails dry completely for at least two hours.  NOW YOUR MANI IS INDESTRUCTIBLE!

That is this week's Mani Monday (even though technically this was last week's nails...).  I think even though I now do my nails on Mondays or Tuesdays, I'll still try to post my mani for the week, but it will be for the week before like this on was.  Does that make sense?  Ehhh you'll get it later lol.  I hope you enjoyed this week's Mani Monday!  Thanks for reading <3

All the Love,
