Spotty Dotty Gobby.. uh, I mean Gobi

Hi, Fireflies!

I used to feel guilty using holos as a base for nail art because they're just too pretty to cover up!  Now, I realize that their special holo and other properties, like the green shimmer in Elevation Polish Gobi, can add a beautiful, subtle effect to nail art.

Even when the shimmer isn't catching the light, Gobi is still an interesting camel/neutral color.

I used Colors by Llarowe Burnt Sugar to make some different-sized dots all over the place.

Then, I went back with Gobi and made some dots inside the dots.  It wasn't intentional, but I think it looks a bit like leopard print!


See? That green shimmer still comes through.  Gorgeous!

Do you love holos with shimmer, too?  What do you think about using them for nail art?
