I love speckled polishes. This one was perfect.

I wasn't too keen on this color when I first added it to my collection and swatched it. Now I see it for the beauty it is. Lovely...

Missing Mani Photos

COMMENTS:
Well, it looks like I somehow misplaced my original photos of manicures over a few months in 2020. I'll blame it on Covid... 

So here are screen shots gleaned from my Instagram page showing the fun I had from the end of March to June of that year.

There’s nothing quite like the high contrast pop of a (1-coat) white polish next to my brown skin tone. Gesso is also the perfect name for this treat from Funky Fingers, which I'm of course not wearing for the first time. I meant to add some nail art but never got round to it.

The almost 1-coat coverage of this gorgeous brown meant I could get to stamping right away!

Hearts with Golden Rose with Protein - #324 and Funky Fingers - Gesso

COATS:
2 (Golden Rose), 1 (Funky Fingers Gesso)

This is somewhat of an unfinished mani since I didn't fill out the hearts on all the pink nails, but I enjoyed it immensely anyway. I still had this pink from a previous mani sitting on my desk and I just had to wear it again. 3 coats of Golden Rose with protein no. 324 alternated with 1 coat of Funky Fingers Gesso.

I first saw the stunning Fresh Paint - Sophia on an instagram page (@mannicured) and found it in my local store shortly after. This color must have triggered some extra creativity because I had so much fun putting this mani together. It has a bit of everything - layering, stamping, stripes, dots. The final result made me smile a lot. I may do this same mani in another color way sometime.
