Hi there guys!! I'm here with day 17 of the challenge (I know I'm behind lol). We know I love glitter, is this even a question. Removal has never bothered me and I just love glitter, it's beautiful. I didn't want to just do a plain glitter manicure, so I decided to base my design on the name of a glitter polish.
You probably don't recognise the characters, but they were from a Playhouse Disney show (when it was good!!) called JoJo's Circus. I watched it a long time ago but it was really enjoyable, I understand clowns are pretty terrifying but JoJo just wasn't. The lion shown was her pet, Goliath who was adorable as were her friends, who were frogs and potatoes.
I was inspired by the glitter I used, Clowning Around. I really don't know how my brain connected those things but I'm glad as I think the characters look really cute and I'm still in love with that glitter, it's neon glitter. A combination of 2 of my favourite things, here's
my original post if you want swatches and ramblings of how amazing this polish is.
Clowning Around is slightly different this time, one for some of the glitter bled into the base :( I'm suspecting it could've been the purple glitter as the purple isn't as vibrant as last time. But the good thing was it was an absolute breeze to apply, lots of glitter on the brush that spread nicely. Also minimum bubbles!! And obviously the glitter is still gorgeous. I think Re-Fresh Mint is a great colour for Clowning Around (it hides the pink bled base), it was what I was going to use as a base the first time I used the glitter (I changed my mind though).
For JoJo and Goliath, I used the polish with a toothpick for their basic shapes then did a black outline.
