Chaos of the universe: my Project Hail Mary inspired mani
I loved this movie so much. It's so visually stunning and since I've seen it I've been trying to capture it in a manicure. I'm also slightly obsessed with magnetic polishes so I figured I'd just go nuts today. My unhinged PHM manicure attempt:
Base coat:
3 day old polish that needed a refresher lol
Polishes:
one coat of Mooncat Millenia over the old mani, not magnetized.
Then a mix of Mooncat Jasmine Dragon, ILNP Madhouse, ILNP Deep Space, Holo Taco Playing the Field and Holo Taco Polar Opposites.
I just kind of dabbed each different polish on in different quadrants. Didn't magnetize and let it dry, and since I was going for chaotic I wasn't super precise about where I put what or overlapping.
Then a super generous application of DRK Magic Effect to get everything sort of smudged together and ready for magnets.
For my ring, middle and thumb I magnetized with a wand for ~90 seconds each. Pinky and pointer I used a 30# U magnet, again for about 90 seconds.
Topcoat: ILNP Glass Candy x2, each magnetized for 30 seconds or so.
It's still not 100% what I was imagining but I'm pretty happy with this attempt.
Side note: I am a fairly recently reformed nail biter of like 30+ years so I'm still growing out a bunch of damage, but I am infinitely grateful to this sub for inspiring me to change and for giving me mani ideas. So thank you all, you're wonderful ❤️
