Crazy Giraffe Nails

As promised in the previous post, I'll show my only and not-very-much-loved magnetic polish as a stamping polish. When I use it this way, I like it much better :) So, meet the crazy giraffe nails!

The crazy nails of today's post are created with 3 coats of tear_your_eyes_off lime polish - Yes Love Y74 - shown here earlier, stamped with BM-313 plate and the inglorious Flormar Magnetic Twist MG02. Inglorious cuz it's magnetic. 

This combination looks quite schizophrenic, I know, but I was wearing it in summer so it looked more balanced out. 

The moral of this post is very simple: if you don't like your magnetic polishes but you happen to own them - try them for stamping! Or other nail art. You might like them a little more after that :) 

Lime Yellow

*planned post; me having the most romantic moments in life on Santorini*

Let's talk about... limes! My opinion is still undefined: I like gazing at the other people's swatches of lime polishes, but myself... I wear them like once per year. Do you like lime shades? Do you have many lime polishes in your stash? I have... one, and I got it as an extra in my swap with Akuma Kanji, so I didn't even buy it myself lol. Here I'm talking about Yes Love Y74!

Yes Love Y74 is a... hard to describe shade, not yet a green lime, but already not a yellow lemon. Yelime lol. Bright and in-your-face shade. The texture is creme, no shimmer attached.

Unfortunately, I have to mention the formula, which was a... disaster :{ I barely managed to fight it in 3 coats, the polish is streaky as hell, I didn't even expect such a challenging application. Oh, and forget about self-evening: without a top coat it looks like hilly terrain. Hard times I had while applying it, that's the truth. 

The sun suits this polish a lot, I felt like my nails were illuminated. I also got some reactions from other people saying: "oh, what a brightie!!" :)  

I have to admit that this colour is damn unique in my stash, and that I'm glad that I have it. If my swap buddy, Akuma Kanji, didn't put it in the package, I would never buy such a shade myself - AND I would lose a lot of fun!! So thank you, D.!! : ) 

If I wear lime, it means that I'm in the mood to do so. Yes, I do believe that such shades require a suitable mood, only then you feel them harmonic on your nails :) Right? Or you don't need any special courage to wear a bright lime polish? :)
