Untried Nail Polish Challenge - Day 6 - Cool

Today's manicure involves using one of my oldest untrieds, Zoya Indigo. I purchased this one encouraged by the holographic particles in the bottle shot and quickly learned from others that those hardly translated onto the nail. Since then, I have been discouraged from using it and even tried to get rid of it at several swaps!
I started off with two coats of Enchanted Polish Bruised Nutcracker, a gorgeous blue holographic. If only I had left it at that. I decided to add a gradient using Indigo. Still not satisfied with the complexity of the manicure, I stamped on a design using Indigo again and the PUEEN11 stamping plate. My good friend Chelsea told me these looked like crystal mine nails, and mines are pretty "cool" in temperature so they fit the theme. I think it looks like I gave my manicure stretch marks which are not cool at all! In conclusion, I still want to swap out for Indigo. Any takers?!
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more challenge posts! Be sure to check out these other ladies participating in the challenge!

  • I have this one too - it's OK but I have other blues I like better. I usually put a CND Effect over it or one of my scented Revlon Fizz toppers from 2 summers ago I am so glad I got - with this one I usually put on the Revlon one called Pina Colada - not glitter but adds like a shimmer/glass-fleck in to it. I also have mixed some of this with China Glaze Fairy Dust in a little bent up 'pan' of tin foil (great for mixing a couple colors and you just toss when you are done)...that has beefed this one up a lot.

    1. I bet it looks just like the bottle when you mix it with Fairy Dust! Good call!
