Grunge Fairy Nail Art

Good afternoon, readers! I really love the grunge/worn/acid wash type nail art techniques but I don't always want grungy color palettes on my nails. I think it's the non-perfection of lines or designs that draw me in so I wanted to do something a little more "girly" with that idea in mind today. I guess we can call this Grunge Fairy!

Rory Gets Razzle Dazzled By Love Potion No. 99!

Good morning, readers! I have another mani to show you from vacation last week! This was my favorite that I did! As I was lining up the bottles that I chose to bring on vacation(the Zoya Surf collection and my indies) I realized that Zoya Rory looked great next to Girly Bits Razzle Dazzle! It's a perfect base color to not have to use 3 coats of Razzle Dazzle so it will last longer! Because I couldn't just leave it at that, I decided to try some gradient tips of Lynnderella Love Potion No. 99! I love how this turned out. The Razzle Dazzle has some purple glitters in it if you see it in the light so it pulled the two colors together nicely.

You can see the purple in Razzle Dazzle in this macro!

I used:

Orly Nail Defense

2 coats of Zoya Rory

1 coat of Girly Bits Razzle Dazzle

Ripped up makeup sponge and Lynnderella Love Potion No.99 for the gradient tips

2 coats of Cult Nails Wicked Fast

I really love how this turned out! The slight purple pigment in the Lynnderella added more than just glitter to the tips so I was really happy with that! I honestly think that Love Potion No. 99 may be my very favorite of the handful of Lynnderellas that I have! What do you think? Thanks for reading!

Girly Bits Razzle Dazzle Swatches+Stamping!

Hello readers! I have an amazing polish to share with you today! I recently got Pam's Girly Bits Razzle Dazzle in a swap with my friend, Rachel, from Cherry Glam Girl! I am so in love with this polish! I tried it out on Hailey's toes last week and am home from vacation today so I finally got to put it on my nails.

It's so sparkly and made for a great base color for a stamping mani!

This is the gorgeous polish in the shade.

In the direct sun. Look at the sparkles!

Slightly out of focus to show the holographic glitters! 

I used:

Base Coat of Orly Nail Defense

3 coats of Girly Bits Razzle Dazzle

1 coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast Top Coat

Pure Ice Silver Mercedes and MASH plate m64 for the stamp design

1 more coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast Top Coat

I just adore this polish! It's gorgeous inside and outdoors, went on amazingly, and is completely smooth with my 2 layers of Cult Nails Wicked Fast(one before and one after the stamping). I think I definitely need to pay more attention to this indie brand and get a wishlist going for more that I want! Llarowe is going to start carrying these polishes at the end of this month, and you can also buy them directly through Pam when her shop is open.
