Who's That Pokémon? Skitty!

Hello there everyone!! I hope you're doing well. School is back in swing but I'm coping (just about haha), applying to university is coming so soon which is insane, what is happening??
Anyway today's nail art brings us back to fun times and my new Pokemon obsession, I'm trying to fill the Pokedex right now and it's quite the task. I've been addicted to wondertrading (I can trade for hours at a time), I guess I just like the possibly of getting something good i.e. I've got 9 shinies from Wondertrade so this is what keeps me going back. I don't think you can get Skitty in Pokemon X but I got one in Wondertrade and it's just ADORABLE!! So that's why I had to paint Skitty.

It's such a cute little pink and yellow cat with that crazy tail. I did not do Skitty justice at all!! She's SO much cuter. But that being said I still like it and I really liked the design. Purple and pink is great and you can never go wrong with glitter (I always say this, you totally can but shhh) and the added flakies work so well.

I painted the white base first and then went colours then black outline. I proportioned wrong, the eyes should be more spaced out. Black outline with a toothpick is hard cause it's hard to get it the same width the whole way round.

Soz a bit blurry
Purple: The Body Shop - A Grape Affair 
Flakies (worked so well): M&S - Light Mix
Pink: Barry M - Dragon Fruit
Yellow: Ciate - Loop the Loop
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
Red: M&S - Poppy
White: Barry M - Cotton
Glitter: Etude House - #117

Thank you very much for reading and I hope you have a great day!! :)

Gimme Glitter: Etude House - #117

Hey there guys!! I have more glitter, it's been quite glittery for a while here and will be for a bit more. Going to Asia means Etude House. I love the Korean brands cause they're doing very interesting things, I got a lot of lip products from there and they're so fabulous. There's this liquid lipstick in the shape of an actual lipstick and it's so cool and amazingly bright. Anyway to the glitter!!

#117 is a clear base with matte pink, white and shiny red heart glitter, small matte white and pink glitter, some slightly bigger pink hexes and some white bar glitter to boot. I think some pink leaked into the base but I don't mind. This polish is actually really really nice, I totally paired it wrong though (Rimmel Bee a Honey was the wrong choice). But will be using it again with better combos cause it's lovely :)

Every year I like the glitter polishes more and more in Etude House, I have another one that I'll be showing son and I like it better than this one. It's what you'd see from an indie and I don't see mainstream brands doing polishes like this. I feel like they're do more interesting stuff than The Face Shop (but I think The Face Shop is better quality).

The glitter spread was really good, there were bubbles but not entirely the polish's fault. It was hot and I'm never patient enough. The glitter density was very good, just have to fish for the hearts a bit but that's what happens with big glitter. This could've been a coat and then a few additional hearts.

Thank you for reading and I hope you have a really nice day!! :)
