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.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more challenge posts! Be sure to check out these other ladies participating in the challenge!

    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!
