Cult Nails Art Deco

Hello, Fireflies! 

Today, I'd like to show you a little fun, bright, art-deco inspired mani using some Cult Nails polishes.

I started out with Cult Nails All Out, a yellow shimmer.  I knew it was meant to be a topper, and isn't opaque at all.  I actually thought it would be more sheer than it turned out to be!  It's not meant to be worn alone, so I didn't get a pix of that.

I was inspired by this swirled look by Rikki2007 posted on Nails Magazine Art Gallery.  She did her look with different neons, but that wasn't what I was feeling today.  I thought that Cult Nails Be Loco was bright enough, but not quite neon, to pull the look together. 

I probably should have used tape for cleaner lines, but I was lazy.

Be Loco dries with the wax finish that Cult Nails has had in their last few collections.  For this mani, I preferred it shiny, so a little topcoat was in order.  I like to topcoat over my black details, anyway, to help them pop.

I love it when a look is bold, fun, and simple.  What do you think?

    1. Thanks, T! That's so cool that you think my cuticles are perfect! Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! I made an oil blend of jojoba/grapeseed oil (with a bunch of other oils) that I use several times a day, usually mixed with lotion for better absorption. Shea butter or coconut oil are really great, too. Never cut the 'cuticle' (it's actually the eponichyium) only dead skin (hangnails).

Thank you for your comments! They mean so much to me, and I read all of them, even if I don't always have a chance to respond.
