ASBMF - Ladybugs

Hello everyone here is another post for the spring challenge created by Polished Prisms. Today I have ladybugs! I'm one of those girls that never liked any type of bug. But I gotta admit, ladybugs on nails look really cute.

For this manicure, I used Revlon Mon Cherry, Ulta Fashionably Late (thanks Dolly!), WnW Black Creme and a random white (I'm sorry I don't remember which white I used). On my accent fingers, I used one coat of Black Creme, then topped it with 2 coats of Fashionably Late.

Swatch/Review

Brand: Ulta

Line/Collection: Paint the Town

Color Name: Nauti-cal but Nice

Number of Coats: 3

Top Coat: No

Nauti-cal but Nice is a navy blue jelly. In some lighting, NBN looks black. Although on the first coat, it applied a little streaky, the formula is not difficult to work with because it is not too runny and goes where you place it. Since this bottle is a mini, the brush is rather small but not that difficult work with either. NBN was somewhat opaque in 2 coats but I went with 3 for good measure.

Ulta Minis: Glitterati and Paint the Town (Lav-ish Review/Swatch)

 I received these polishes from the lovely Dollie as a gift. (thanks girl, I love them!!)These are the first ULTA polishes I own. Glitterati has some great dupes for those hard to find polish. I'm happy to have them as back-up. Individual swatch posts (comparisons) and reviews will be coming up in the month of January.

The first polish swatch from ULTA minis is from Paint the Town and that is Lav-ish.

No Flash - 3 coats, no top coat

Lav-ish is a muave-taupey lavendar with gold shimmer. The formula isn't too thick or too thin and easy to apply.
