Cult Nails Manipulative Nail Art 2
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.
