I Sells Seashells on the Seashore

Pin It

Back in April - when the sun was shining the **** out of Auckland, I gave myself some super beachy nails!

I used Serum No.5 Atomic Peach as a base, sponged a gradient of Different Dimensions Sign Your X On The Line for some shimmering/sparkly sand effect; then added some seashell embellishments provided for review by Born Pretty Store.

The shells come in 3mm or 5mm, gold or silver. The 5mm were definitely too big for my liking, but the 3mm are the perfect size. Beware: keep your shells away from the polish remover or it'll strip off the gold paint and they'll look very brassy!

Rocking my Serum No.5 GITDs!

Pin It

I got a couple Serum No.5s from a post-xmas sale and they are WONDERFUL!!!!

Serum No.5 Atomic Peach

Atomic Peach is a pastel peach glow in the dark lacquer with a sprinkling of gold micro-glitter. It's a touch brighter (and less white) than the photos show and the GITD effect is very strong - it glows a yellow/green. The formula is alright, a little grainy (with the GITD pigment and all) and you need about 3 coats for it to even out - the Seche Vite helps with that too!

Serum No. 5 Pink Lantern

Pink Lantern is a hot pastel pink GITD. It's much pinker and brighter than in the photos too and glows a white/pink/orange in the dark. It needs about three coats to even out too and again the Seche Vite helped with this and added the glossy finish it needed!

My fav is Pink Lantern but I do love my peachy-nudes so Atomic Peach is certainly a close second!
