Kell's DIY Nails

Hey, Guys! On Tuesday I saw Motley Crüe for their Final Tour and I'm still dragging ass! Fun but exhausting! My nails were pretty basic; I didn't have time to do anything more.

They all glow in UV Light. It's really cool in the online swatches I've seen. For this mani I decided on the green, Omen , and the pink, Ouija , as an accent nail. Pink & Green are a favorite combo of mine. These both have the same exact formula and it is excellent. I love how these apply so smoothly; they are the perfect consistency. Not too thick, not too thin, just right. The opacity was excellent as well; not quite a one coater but two easy ones. I had very little clean up and got a nice line at the cuti...
