The vast majority of the polishes in their collections and mysteries have been sheer shimmers. I’m getting bored with them at the moment, which is making my wallet happy but my polish loving heart a bit teary. 😅

@NicoleLovesNails5 ай бұрын
I generally find that most people aren’t going to buy a special base coat to wear their nail polish so I opted to show these as they are straight out of the bottle. For my own personal preference, I am opposed to using a white base with neons. 10 years ago sure I would use one but now for me, if I have to wear a white base with a neon I’m going to skip it for one that doesn’t. I don’t wear blurring bases for that same reason. I like sheers as they are so blurring bases aren’t really for me.
@misslav205 ай бұрын
Commenting partly for the algorithm. For anyone who wants to know about the books, the main story is a duo but a third book has stories about the side characters from what I've seen. I read the first two books and wouldn't call them spicy. The books have romance, loyalty and magic as some of the main themes and they were enjoyable to read even as someone who doesn't love romance books. The polishes are pretty but for me they would just be expensive toppers/ layering polishes. I don't enjoy anything that shows vnl since mine is so wonky. Great video as always!

I'm trying NOT to avoid all of these sheers because of staining by getting some undercoats. I would love to see you swatch these on the wheels with the Phantom and others such as Night Owl milky base coats - mint with aqua, strawberries with pink, and honey with yellow. I have Milk and Sugar and Milk and Lavender and PFD blurring base coats peach and lavender. I found the Milky collection leveled so well. I didn't get that impression from you or Caitlin about Phantom.
@NicoleLovesNails5 ай бұрын
I didn’t pick up the NOL milky collection and don’t think I will be tbh. I think I might get the white and pink shades at some point to use for bases but not the full collection as I don’t wear that type of finish often enough. Phantom self leveled nicely but it can pool a little if you use thicker coats. I noticed that if you overwork it, you’ll get a less even look but that seems typical for sheer whites in my experience.

Huge mistake as I'm now more invested in this collection than when I saw the earlier swatches/hints. Therefore, I get The Celestial Kingdom being white but am confused by the Demon Realm being all light. There are No Prizes in the Game of Hearts is the heart-rending quote. I've been trying to build in a few more pinks in my collection as I have all the purples.
