Untried Nail Polish Challenge - Day 3 - Space Themed Nails

How's everyone's weekend going so far? Today is my mother's 50th birthday, so we're going out of town to celebrate. Hopefully I can get a manicure up for tomorrow's N31DC, but if not you know the reason why! For today's challenge I grabbed three random untrieds and couldn't think of anything but space when I saw the blue, ivory and gray next to one another!
I am obsessed with skittle manicures. I started off by painting on three coats of Essie Man Squeeze. It's a really pretty off-white/blue duochrome polish, but it's so sheer! After that,  I painted the index finger with two coats of China Glaze Cosmic Dust from the new Hologlam collection. These are such a letdown. So streaky and not that holographic... For the middle finger, I applied two coats of Cirque Tibetan Nights. That was definitely my favorite of the three untrieds. Tibetan nights is a bright blue jelly with light blue and silver bar glitter. I usually detest bar glitter, but the pieces in this polish are cut in half and are just the right size! How this remained untried before today, I just don't know. For the ring finger, I used the PUEEN24 stamping plate to add stars using Cosmic Dust. Finally, I used a sponge to gradient Tibetan Nights over Man Squeeze on the pinky finger.

    1. It's when all your nails have different designs/polishes on them (I think, that's how I've been using it...) And yes Tibetan Nights is so lovely!
