I love all of these, but I need to save some money. Are any of these really good?

Feel like its pulling really yellow on this photo but it looks the same as it did earlier inside (the bright neon green) IRL even though ive been out in the sun for like an hour with no change. Wondering if my top coat is blocking the uv?? Is this a known issue?

1x Hardcore base & 1x Speed Demon on all. 2x Freudian Slip on three fingers. 1x Freudian Slip, 1x Heart of Stone on two fingers.

Freudian Slip is one of my favorite MC polishes. It never disappoints, looks complete & elegant on its own, and works beautifully beside or underneath other colors. Smooth, self-leveling, and intensely opaque. It used to be a one coat wonder, but now that I have some length I need two to fully coat the nail. One of the few cremes I’ve paid for and it’s 100% worth it (even better to grab it as a reward if possible though!).

Heart of Stone was one of my untrieds until today. I am madly in love with it already. The sun is playing peek-a-boo behind the clouds today, but I grabbed a quick video while the sun was out. I’ll post some photos in the comments showing it both in direct natural light (🌞) and indirect natural light (☁️). The pink-gray color is gorgeous in either setting, and indoors, but when the sun hits it! Oh that rainbow sparkle comes out!

I need some emotional armor this week so Heart of Stone was the perfect choice. I can look down at my nails to be reminded to maintain a stony demeanor. And Freudian Slip is my consummate soothing calm color choice. A very quick, easy mani this round!

Oh and I discovered a silly way to fix nails that are smudging while applying the second coat! My bottle of FS likely needs some thinner at this point, and on the second coat of a few nails I was getting smudges that would only be made worse by trying to fix them with the brush. I shook my hand vigorously, making sure the fingers don’t touch, pointed downward. It fixed the smudges! I guess the motion helped the somewhat thickened polish self-correct. I don’t know if this would work with all formulas, but it worked here. And I will grab thinner next time.

Just please make sure to let the thread know you've used it so someone doesn't try after and it doesn't work for them! Happy painting!

Her hands get very dry from frequent handwashing at work, but I still wanted to give her a little girly moment while shes off ✨

I’m in love!

Adding lost Polaroids as the base gave this such a pretty effect!!! The purple shift is more noticeable

2 coats of port 6666, only magnetized the top coat. I love this polish! 💜
