Finally a mani I'm content with :)

Posting pictures of my current mani that I am, for once, content with. And crackle polish. :)
Milani 3D Holographic HD, China Glaze Ruby Deer, Wet n' Wild Wild Shine Black Creme, Seche Clear & Seche Vite (I am falling in love with Seche Vite. I can see why a lot of other nail blogs rave about it. It smoothes everything out SOOOOOO well.)

Main art inspired by Hime Nail on Facebook, and the thumb was inspired by my friend, Sunny.

China Glaze Crackle Glaze Crushed Candy + Wet n' Wild Wild Shine Black Creme.

China Glaze Crackle Glaze Broken Hearted + Wet n' Wild Wild Shine Tickled Pink.

Sinful Colors Glass Pink + OPI Black Shatter.

Hard Candy Beetle & Orly Cosmic FX Space Cadet.
Honestly, they really look exactly alike. The only difference...the price. Orly was about $7.50(?)ish and Hard Candy was like $3 or $4. Sorry I can't give an exact price, but it's about a 50% difference. Color wise, the difference is very subtle and Orly seems a tinge shade lighter. When painting, Orly has a blue base and Hard Candy has a green base. Overall, if you wanna save a few dollars but want the same effects, go with the Hard Candy Beetle. The formula is pretty good to work with too, not as thin as Orly.

Attempted some gradients. Trying to perfect my method. I really want more bling. Need some time and make a designated space to play with loose glitter. I think that's the answer to my 'not enough bling/sparkle problem.'

My sad, sad parsley. I couldn't save this $0.89 fellow. :( This picture was taken a day or two ago, so it looks even sadder now...
Good night <3
