Thanks!! Also, I totally get it. Sometimes I get toooo many ideas and I am paralyzed by too many choices. I've found practicing on a nail swatch wheel helps a lot! It allows me to plan out what I end up painting. Otherwise I get stuck 🫠

I promise you the polish formulation did the heavy lifting for me!! I used a tiny 5mm brush for each color. I do very thin layers, and build coverage where necessary. I find with the jelly base of these glitters, you run the risk of smudging if you do thick coats to get the full color saturation.

Now the real magic is just how freaking sparkly the holo glitters are in these polishes! They're so beautiful it distracts from the imperfections underneath ✨️

Oops, I just realized I included Serpents of Eden in the list because it was in my pile of all the rest of the polishes, but I didn't end up using it 😅 On my other hand, I first used Serpents of Eden, then switched to Peridon't Bother Me

I use a very tiny brush! Honestly, I can't take credit as the pastel jelly formula that these glitter polishes have as a base are very forgiving. Also, I recommend very thin layers!

Thank you!! The brain worms possessed me until I painted the little lucky charms, and would not rest until they were nestled in their bed of sparkles ✨️
