Short and Shaped.

OMG I love mah nails now, I don't even care that I lost a butt-crack load of length! And with this kind of mani they look even shorter. I still don't careeeee! Weeee! It really took some grinding, since I didn't use my pathetic excuse for a glass nail. But I just love them when they are all perfectly square. So this manicure is a somewhat failed manicure but I still really love it. I used to do this all the time and use a silver for the reverse tips, but I decided to give it a bit of a twist and use Hit Hefesto.  I have also been wanting to show you Essence Black is Back. It truly is a beautiful glossy black, the formula isn't great though. I think because it's suppose to be quick drying so it's got that QD thick formula and I'm nearly at the end of the bottle and it's extra thick, and a little un-manageable, no matter how much thinner I put in it!

 These were taken outside in overcast.






 And these were taken in the sun, you can see a little holographic effect. If you squint and look hard...


I call this a failure because you can barely see the holographic effect. However, I really like it. It's delicate whilst the black makes it bold. It's like I have a shimmery holographic peachy polish underneath. So I like it in those regards. But I was going for silver holographic. I guess Hefesto is too sheer for that  and I wasn't going to add a second coat of Hefesto and waste that teeny tiny bottle of rainbow for a manicure that was going to be covered by black.
