Cult Nails Manipulative Nail Art

I’ve had my eye on several polishes from Cult Nails and they had an awesome sale on their limited edition polishes on New Years Eve. They were $8 each so I snagged a bunch of them before their prices went up (along with a couple other non-LE polishes)! They recently announced that their prices would jump from $10 to $12 a bottle in the new year, so this sale was a great opportunity to stock up. This was my first time using polish from Cult Nails and I think it’s safe to say I’m now hooked… I’m joining the Cult!  I swatched each of the colors that I purchased on a wheel first to test them out, and they all had great formulas and applied flawlessly.

For my first Cult manicure, I started with two coats of Manipulative. After it dried I blocked part of each nail with a triangular shaped piece of scotch tape, and then applied Nevermore and I Got Distracted on the exposed nail. The design was topped off with two coats of Seche Vite to smooth out the lines.

Manipulative is a light blue with a shimmery finish. Nevermore is a glossy black… a must for every polish collection. And I Got Distracted has a black base and is loaded with holographic micro-glitter and green glitter. This one is a real stunner! You can really see the holo effects in the blurry picture below.

And here is a swatch of Manipulative before adding the other colors.
