Skipped base today. This is one coat of $elf Made (OPI), two coats of a drugstore holo top coat, and one coat OPI top coat. It's a lot colder and somewhat greener IRL than in the picture.
Also, I'd appreciate tips for better mani pictures!

Natural sunlight
Natural lighting works best, particularly in the shade.
On most phone cameras, you can tap the screen where you want it to focus. Try to choose your nail so that the glitters and everything are super in focus.
Play with angles. Hold your hand in different positions, try bringing your hand closer to the camera, etc.
Some light editing like slightly bumping the contrast will help get the image closer to how we see it in person as well.
I haven’t done this but whenever I am taking photos I realize I need a long sleeve that covers half my hand, otherwise I feel like my palms are overwhelming the picture.
I use a small ring light and crop out most of my hand cuz my palm and wrist look weird to me 😂

I can’t get my phone OR iPad to capture certain shimmers color accurately and it drives me so crazy!! 😭
