Cult Nails In the Garden Collection Part 1

Cult Nails recently released a Spring collection named, In the Garden. It consists of five vibrant shades of polish. Three shades have a waxy finish like Cult Nails Fetish and two are cremes. Today, I'm going to show you the two cremes. 

Cult Nails Ay Poppy!

 Maria (founder of Cult Nails) describes Ay Poppy! as traffic cone orange and I can't think of a better way to describe it. It's bright, rich, and fabulous. It's formula is perfection. It applies smoothly and dries quickly. I used two coats and topped it off with Cult Nails Wicked Fast top coat. If you love orange, this is a must have. It would also be amazing for nail art. You may remember my cartoon nails which featured Ay Poppy! 

 Cult Nails You're My Dandy Lion

This yellow blew my mind. Yellows are notorious for having difficult formulas. They apply streaky and patchy and usually need several coats to smooth them out. Not this one! I don't know how Maria did it but this was almost a one coater for me. My pinky was a one coater with it being so small. The rest only needed two coats. I about died when I swatched this polish. There is a tiny bit of shimmer that you can see in the bottle but it doesn't translate on the nail. I think the shimmer helped the formula if I remember correctly. Now, yellows look pretty awful on my pasty skin tone. I plan on using this for nail art. If you need a yellow, this is a must have just for the formula alone. 

What do you think of the collection so far? I saved my favorites for part 2 which are the polishes that have a waxy finish. *swoon*

Hello everyone! I thought it would be fun to change things up and try some nail art. I recently saw a video by Cute Polish on how to do a cartoon nail mani. I had never seen a design like that before and it looked like something I could do so I was intrigued. If you follow my Facebook page or Instagram account, you know this is my second try at this design. My first attempt was completely ruined because I went to bed before they were completely dry. I hadn't taken pictures yet so I had to redo my nails. Don't you hate it when you work hard on your nails and then they get smudged? 

         

For this design, I used Cult Nails Nevermore for the black and Cult Nails Ay Poppy! for the orange. I used a white striper for the white and finished it off with a matte top coat from Nails Inc.
