The power of toppers and jellies! I included pictures at the end of the original swatch stick of this thermal polish. Don’t get me wrong, i like the og thermal, but adding a flakie topper and a red jelly reaaaally elevated the whole look! I can’t recommend enough to just experiment layering your toppers/jellies over thermal polishes

Never been a fan of pastels, this is much more my vibe. This combo is to die for!If i were to redo this mani i’d pick a lighter flakie topper like holo taco’s solar unicorn skin! It would pop even more under the red jelly. Its still vampy and stunning tho 😍

I feel like i’m always preaching about the Dam polish Bitten collection but y’all these glitters are just SO good. If you are a glitter fiend i can’t recommend them enough. Holo Taco still has my favorite glitter polish formula but these are a close second, so sparkly and reflective!
Basecoat: holo taco peely base with cracked ridge filler basecoat
Green creme polish: mooncat poison ivy (let me know if y’all have any dupes for it!
Glitter: Dam Polish’s Eternal from their Bitten collection with one coat of starrily’s crystal jelly sandwiched between the glitter polish (just to push the color a little bit more to a blue undertone instead of a true green. If you ever want to tweak the undertone of a glitter polish or add coverage i can’t recommend a jelly sandwich enough!)
Topcoat: kbshimmer smooth moves (glitter grabber) and cuticula limitless quick dry topcoat
I’m not usually a neon girly, but the neon green with the black does something to my heart. Very Avril Lavigne Smile music video!
Basecoat: nailtiques formula 2 and cracked ridge filler basecoat
Green: ILNP’s Sour Apple over one coat of ILNP’s Canvas — sour apple is a jelly so if you want that intense neon look i recommend layering it over a white polish.
Sparkly Black: ILNP’s Cityscape (the prettiest sparkliest black ever)
Topper: Fancy Gloss’s Blackout
Topcoat: kbshimmer smooth moves (glitter grabber) and cuticula’s limitless quick dry topcoat
