Missing in Action

COMMENTS:  Yes, I know, it's like this blog gets no love from me anymore.  I recently discovered a stash of swatch photos that I never posted here, so those will get published next. Hopefully that can motivate me to edit the serious backlog of mani photos and get caught up eventually. No promises though!

I wasn't ready to let go of the grey yet, so threw on a topper.

It certainly seems I've abandoned this blog doesn't it? I'm not giving up on it yet - even though I'm now posting manis from way back in 2019!  
This was a lovely green, but at 3 coats I don't recall if I decided to keep it or let it go.

I had these two waiting to be worn together for a while before this mani. I think they like each other :)

For this mani I used this green and this teal gel polish from CH Nail. With the addition of dots in clear gel polish I think it turned out well!

I'm still not ready to let go of updating this blog even though it's been almost half a year since my last post. Of course that means there's a serious backlog of manicures, but there is still hope! 
As simple as this mani was, I liked it in all its forms - with and without dots, matte and shiny.

This was my first time trying this brand, and it doesn't disappoint. Of course, having lived most of my formative years in Jos, Nigeria, I had to wear the polish of the same name first.
