Layering with Cult Nails Seduction

Hi lovelies! Hope to cheer everyone up on this Monday with some awesome polish layering...

First off we have 2 coats of one of my nameless frankens, a light violet grey with almost invisible micro shimmer. I love this polish because it isn't just a straight creme. When you look closely (way more visible IRL) it kinda looks like there are a bunch of tiny white, black, and purple dots, kind of like the appearance of a static television....Get what I'm saying? Anyway, this is a nice low key shade.



Coincidentally, I happened to be wearing a matchy light purple shirt.
 Anyway, here is where the magic happens :) I wanted to layer these two so I could keep the amazing light purple jelly-ness in Cult Nails Seduction. I think I succeeded!! Below is 1 coat of Seduction over my franken.

look at that beautiful shade shifting flaky goodness :D



      So beautiful. 
Have you noticed all the color changing-ness thats happening inside the bottle? I think I can see purple, red, pink, dark blue, turquoise, yellow, and orange flakie colors!!!

Lime lights over black :)

after a very tiring and busy week and a half......
Im back!!

i had so much fun this morning swatching and taking pics!!!
i have some great polishes lines up
starting with......."Lime Lights", a Sally Hansen; hard as nails: Xtreme Wear 
lol thats a long name
very sorry but i did this last night and the lighting is a bit off
and the whole thing is a bit messy anyway.....


2 coats black (aka Professional Nail Lacquer's "Little Black Dress)

 here on the thumb is 3 coats of  lime lights

then, out course, 1 coat of lime lights over black

here it is the next day ;)

here you can see its blue-ish qualities

Lime Light is a sheer green/blue/turquoise shimmer
by itself, it has  a pearly finish ver similar to its sister "Marine Scene" (which i'll show you tomorrow)
I'm sure that if i took the time to do the 6 coats it would need to be opaque, it would be very pretty
but layering is nicer for me ;)
you know when a color is either turquoise or dark green? well this mani flashes in between
it also has a ocean-y feel

i think you have to be in the right mood to wear this combo.....
before, i have tried this over purple for a very nice affect and a more easily wearable color
thanks for watching!
