A few months ago I won a nail art contest. The prize? A custom polish! I love the Virginia Tech Hokies, so I went with their colors for my polish. White base, maroon and orange glitter, with some black bar glitter thrown in.
Here is the result!
The label was blank so that I could write the name of my polish down.
This polish is an absolute dream in regard to application. It doesn't have the streaking issues that some white polishes have, and two coats easily become opaque. It's loaded with glitter, requiring a good shakeup before application. As always, whenever I do shake up a glitter polish, I wait 30 minutes before applying to reduce the risk of bubbling.
I knew exactly what nail art I would do with this polish. I went out and chose a maroon-ish polish, then went to work on my fan manicure.
Note: I'm absolutely horrid when using my left hand to polish or do art of any kind, so this was the best I could do. I admit I was too excited to do any proper cleanup.
All in all, I was so very pleased with this polish. Cosmos Lacquer is an indie brand worth checking out. My thanks to Tia and to Diane for sponsoring the contest!
