Omg it's been a crazy, stressful week and next week is going to be even more insane. Wish me luck please =)
I wanted to show you what I did with my nails last week. I'm SO addicted to phoebe, only thing is that it chips SO fast =( and I'm not talking about little chips. This time around when I put the crackle on top of phoebe, some of the inside chipped off BEFORE the outside chipped- SO WEIRD!! Has that ever happened to you before? I will have to try it with different bases and top coats to find which one will maximize the length of wear of the pretty, pretty phoebe.
So let's get started. I used zoya's get even ridge filling basecoat. It comes in a cool professional box. BTW, I got their color lock system. I'm not sure if I took a picture of it, but I will and I'll show you next time.
Then I used two coats of phoebe.
Then after it dried. I put on one coat of china glaze's crackle in concrete. It doesn't go on as easy as opi's shatter, more streaky but I still think it came out well.
and wa-la =P crackled out phoebe. It kinda looks like dutch crunch bread huh? HAHA... or maybe I'm just hungry...
It came out looking very nice and matte but then I put on zoya's hurry up speedy dry drops and it became shiny. boo =( The speedy drops have Cemellia oil in it which probably brought on the shiny.
So I had to use china glaze's matte magic to correct it. LOVE it!! Thank you matte magic, you're a life saver!
What do you think? Do you like it or prefer phoebe on her own? I love how the blue peaks out from behind the gray and still stands strong.
