Trying to bring a little sunshine inside

It's been raining....and raining and raining. Around 10 inches in the last few days (yeah, be quiet, UK-ers, this is supposed to be FLORIDA!) So three coats of Zoya Arizona accented with my #1 favorite glitter Utopia Hibiscus and I am feeling the heat! HK Girl over. (Gelous on glitter first) ALl pictures under Ott light.



Yeah macro on new phone!

My Happy Mani Color-

Illamasqua Radium is green. Electric, grass green. Temptalia describes it: chartreuse green with yellow undertones and iridescent green and chartreuse micro-shimmer. Gorgeous application, two coats, the shimmer adds that extra oooomph to my favorite nail color for spring. Accent is Utopias Hibiscus, the perfect blend of matte red, orange white green and tiny holographic assorted glitters. I've worn similar combinations before and am sure I will again.
Poshe topcoat.

NOTD-Utopia Hibiscus again!

I can't get enough of this red/coral/green/yellow/white/holo lovely! I layered it over bright green last time, but I tried the faintly yellowed pale tan known as China Glaze Kalahari Kiss this time for a more unusual pairing.  Application was pretty easy, a bit of pushing and shoving for the larger glitters, but overall a great experience. Gelous is necessary and Poshe topcoat. Could use a second layer of TC I think though.

NOTD Bettina Green Apple with Utopia Hibiscus Accents

I had this in my basket for a long time before I pulled the trigger- and now that there aren't any more in the shop right now, AND it's on my nails, I am so very very glad I did. Utopia's Hibiscus is a special glitter topper with a splendid blend of red, orange, green yellow and holographic glitters combined to look just like a flower would when it's been torn apart. But sparkly. Really. I would even dare to say as beautiful and complicated as a polish by She Who Will Not Be Named. Orange, Coral, Pink, Red, yellow, Green, gold, silver Hexagons, bars, squares micro glitter.. is how the maker describes it. And I say, Well Done. Gorgeous polish, as all are the Utopias I own. Not nearly enough from what I have seen thus far.
Gelous and two coats of Wicked fast over.
