The Nail Challenge Collaborative presents: 3rd Anniversary recreations - Geometric

*Press Sample*

Hi all!

It helps if I actually write this blog post instead of letting it linger as a draft... anyways, my second mani for this anniversary month! Inspiration from Hey, Darling Polish!. Marisa did this mani for NCC's September 2014 Geometric month.

All indies today:

I Love Nail Polish - 1st And 15th
I Love Nail Polish - Princess Diaries
Lucky 13 Lacquer - Dark Matter
Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

I started with one coat of Princess Diaries and then sponged on my gradient of both holos. After this dried I added the striped triangles with a nail art brush sent to me for review. The brush I used is a Born Pretty Store brush, item 18519.

In the picture down below I've compared the brush I used today with a few others. Up top is the brush I used, it has a lovely pink handle and cap, so you can store it without getting the bristles damaged. The handle is filled with "crystals" that give a nice effect. In comparison with the brush I normally use (like the bottom one, which is the same as the one directly above it, only cut down to a few bristles) brush 18519 is slightly longer, but not as long as a striping brush. This is a good thing, because I often find striping brushes too long to use for anything other than long stripes. It's also smaller without having too few bristles that can't hold any polish. Be aware that I haven't used acrylic paints at all (do not own them), so my experiences with brushes is always using them with nail polish. I'm pretty happy with this brush and I foresee it being my go to brush for now. The second BPS brush you see is one I'll review soon as well!

And lastly, some holo sparkles!

I really loved wearing this mani, geometric designs rock!
