so, as you can tell, i am CLEARLY obsessed with ‘shine of the times’ as i have used it on the last 3 manis that i did. i can’t stop. it’s just TOO. AWESOME. it changes appearance based on the base colour so i’ve been having so much fun ~experimenttinnngg~

today i used tape for the first time. OBVIOUSLY i used a quick dry base colour, ‘midnight affair’ from revlon. you know, i REALLY like revlon. i know they’re the lame loser friend of essie and OPI, but they have really nice colours now! they’re TRYING guys!! and the polishes are less viscous (lol, my nerd is showing) that the other ones, which i like. UNDERDOG FOR THE WIN! 

p.s. my inspiration for this was Frank Stella, a famous minimialist American painter from the 60s & 70s. check it yo:

color maze, frank stella. although this painting is actually bigger than me in real life!
