Look, I just wanted my nails to look like those Easter egg heat wraps.

Did I know this was a mistake when I started? Yes, I think this took perhaps 4 hours to dry last night. Does it still provide the dopamine hit in the cold light of day? Also yes.

When I was making swatches of my PPU buys, I realized that I could theoretically make my nails look like that by glomming on tiny blobs of this in lieu of proper coats of paint and then using topcoat to make it smooth. I briefly considered using a plain teal of green base to ease this along, but there was no time for such questions last night. So I continued to glom, and here we are.

My stuff:

Nailtiques 2

Cirque, Paint and Peel base

Phoenix, Alicorn (March 2026 PPU)

Starrily, Atmos TC, but like, the thickest coats of it I’ve ever managed to get out of the bottle

    “Magpies cosplaying as humans” I don’t know who to credit, but I’m sure I read it on this sub a while ago. Your nails are giving all the dopamine this morning!
