Yellow and Gold Textured Ombré

More texture! This is a mani I did a few weeks ago featuring four textured polishes. Actually, one of them is not really a textured polish, it’s a glitter striping polish, but it doubles as texture really well!

The polishes are Nicole by OPI Lemon Lolly (yellow jelly based texture), Zoya Solange (yellow-gold texture), LA Colors Art Deco striper in 24K Glitter (medium gold complex-looking glitter), LA Girl Sands of Time (white gold texture with some medium hexes). Love this! Photos in overcast light.

I did Lemon Lolly on my thumb as well as on my index.

China Glaze Swanky Silk

China Glaze Swanky Silk is from last year’s New Bohemian collection.

It’s a delicate champagne/pink duochrome metallic polish.

I had a hard time capturing the pink flash on camera; it was more apparent in real life than in the photos.

I used three coats for these swatches. A little care needs to be taken in order to get brush strokes straight, but no other issues with application.

This is a really pretty, subtle duochrome!

Here it is in one coat over black:

This is one duochrome that I definitely prefer on its own instead of over black!
