#TGPNPC ~ Use the Most Untrieds in One Mani!

Hello Dahlings!

 

Today's prompt is another one that stirred up lots of chatter

in da Glittah Pirates FB group!

 

How does one go about using a lot of polish in one go?

Several Pirates used tape while some did things like

clouds & other nail art designs.

 

I went for this...

 

 ...a braided mani where every strand crossover is a dif color!

I used all of my less expensive untried linear holos.

(no indies or Jades)

Have you been counting?

I used 40 bottles of untried polish for this mani!!!

 

A few words about da brands used today ~

 

Born Pretty Store

Ordering from da BPS is usually a really inexpensive way

to get your paws on nifty polish & nail art bling

and they offer free international shipping.

While their house brand of holo polish is a decent quality,

da list price is WAY too high for a 6ml bottle. ($12.88)

If you'd like to add these to your stash, get their newsletter email

so you'll know when they are on sale.

 

China Glaze

Generally a good brand that's available in many places.

Alas, da 2013 holos released last summer were a bit of a flop.

Da colors are pretty & they did offer some darker colors

not easily found in mainstream holos at da time,

but the rainbows are so wimpy

as to seem non-existent most of da time.

They are almost one coaters,

so maybe I can use them to stamp & for other nail art.

 

Nabi

I can admit that I have a hard time

passing on Nabi's polish sets on Amazon US!

I wasn't too thrilled with this set at first

cuz da rainbows are on da wimpy side,

(they're stronger than da CG 2013 holos, but not by much)

but da pretty colors have grown on me as I've used them.

There are better quality holos out there costing more,

but these are a good value & work well for nail art.

 

Sally Hansen

A good decade plus ago,

SH had a line of specialty polishes called Nail Prisms.

Some were duo chromes & some were holos.

At the time, these types of polish were very hard to find!

Compared to modern holos,

these seem tame but they still look pretty.

If you'd like to add some to your stash,

Cassie Cosmetics can hook you up!

 

Up Colors

These are an imported brand I got thru Llarowe

They're ok. Not da best rainbow, but pretty.

 

 

Next up ~ Vampy!

 

Also, say good bye to my claws...

 I got my family room carpet pro cleaned yesterday. 

When da carpet cleaner & I went to put da TV back,

I slipped as I stepped from da damp carpet to da vinyl

and smacked my left pinky nail right off on an end table.

(Fortunately, we hadn't picked up da TV yet.)

I left my lefty hand nails longs so I could do today's mani,

but da right hand got trimmed back last night

& da left will be joining it soon.

I'll be rocking da shorties until they can grow back.

 

>^. .^<

 

Nappin' on my Paw's belly is my happy place!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Now go count how many untrieds

got used by da other Glittah Pirates!
