Nails

Well i didn't like OPI  Illuminate that well.  The polish was runny and really needed clean-up..which I tried to do with an opi clean-up stick and it really didn't work well.  I usually use q-tips that i have stripped of some of their cotton and then a brush ...if I'm feeling fussy and able to.  Having cut my left hand when i was 17,  it isn't that agile and some days i just can't manage cleanup. Since all the washing of my hands i do at work gets rid of any polish on my skin in a few hours i don't worry about it a lot of the time.  It is a good work color and I'll probably wear it again but not for
a while.
I actually want some gold glitter to put under some shatter but don't have any and what shows up but Disco doll(?) so I'll be waiting for that unless i find some i like as well before that Nicole line is available.
So instead I watch the baseball game and put on OPI  Ink and topped it with Nicole Step 2 the beat of my Heart.  I didn't place any hearts on my thumbs by choice and the rest are pretty random and looking them over I like the nails that got 2 or 3 the best .....so next time I'll try to control that.  The base of step has tiny blue glitter in it and i like the way that looks on top of the dark purple shimmer of Ink.  I also don't like the silver heart but that may be the result of my choice of base.  This is a fun polish and I'm probably too old for it but my nails feel cheerful with this combo so I'm going to leave it for a few days.  This has 2 layers of bottom coat and 2 layers of top coat, you can still feel the hearts but it is smooth enough not to catch on anything.
Have a cheerful polish day.
