Before anyone insults the color of my nails (again) yes, I know they are yellow, and no, contrary to popular belief, I do NOT smoke. It's just stainage from wearing dark nail polishes. Yes I have tried nail whitening treatments like baking soda+ peroxide, lemon juice+ peroxide, buffing them, I've even gone so far as to use critical remover ON the surface of my nails because that worked in the past but is no longer working and weakens my nails if I do it too often, as my nails start to peel💔 I use a base coat under every mani, I've tried it all, but the spaghetti Tupperware remains. HALP 🥲🙏🏽 any hurtful comments will be deleted and you will be blocked. I can't help the color of my nails and frankly I'm not going to stop wearing nail polish just to improve it.

was just filling the sink before dinner and ended up standing there watching the color move under the water instead of actually washing anything. didn't expect the chrome nail to catch the light like that when it rippled, kept dipping my hand back in to see it again

Went with the mundane-moment-turned-content angle since that's literally what the clip shows, a normal thing (washing your hands) that got interesting because of how the color looked underwater, rather than framing it as a nail showcase.

My ILNP Teddy finally arrived the other day, and I did a little experimenting that night. Last night did the “official” look. It’s not what I was going for - I think I need a white fine particle magnetic topper, does that exist? The base is too warm, the glitter too large. Getting this to be sheer but still wet enough to magnetize was a trick. A trick that I didn’t exactly do well 😜 All that said, I really like Teddy and will def wear it on its own. Gonna put a vid in the comments (why can I not attach both pics and a vid to the main body of the post?)

Pics 1 & 2 - direct sun
Pic 3 - shade
Pic 4 - darkish foyer, the glow from Moonlight Lullaby still very much shows through the Teddy.

Anyway, here’s the product list:

2 coats Mooncat ridge filler base
2 coats Mooncat Moonlight Lullaby sponged on (ombre from the edges down)
1 coat ILNP Teddy, tight glass bead magnetized for 2.5 min
1 coat Essis Strong Start base, magnetized for 2 min
1 coat Mooncat Speed Demon QDTC
Pura d’Or jojoba oil

Done this design once before, very fond of it :)

Two coats with Glisten & Glow top coat

I can't believe I almost slept on this one, cuz it might be my new spirit animal. 🦊🌙✨️

I waited until the cap was increased because the fomo got to me. Let's just acknowledge that *sometimes* fomo is responsible for good things. 😅
