Chirality Nail Polish: Cu2+

Happy Tuesday everyone! I have a beauty from a new-to-me indie brand to show you today! I received 3 Chirality polishes as a surprise gift from a friend about a month or so ago and have used all 3 more than once - I just hadn't had a chance to get photos of them yet!I will have the other two (Kale and Apollonia) up soon as well!

I planned on posting this today and thought it was rather funny when my friend Sheila at Pointless Cafe posted it as well! (You can see her post on it here.) I was going to postpone my post but decided against it because I was really excited to show it off! So, we are having an impromptu Twinsie Tuesday. LOL!

Cu2+ is a teal tightly-scattered holo and has an amazing formula) it was nearly a one-coater but I used two). I am such a sucker for these types of holos. I still love linear holos but I think I actually prefer this type of holo over linear. I love how you can still see the color shine through the holo and the satin-y finish of the polish.   I usually wear these without top coat because I like the finish of the polish on its own.

Let's get on to the pics, shall we? I have several for you because I had a hard time narrowing them down. Please excuse the shiny cuticles - I had just gotten through doing a lot of swatching and my cuticles were screaming at me. I figured shiny cuticles were better than dry ones! :)

Elevation Polish Ama Dablam and Zoya Frida Jelly Sandwich

For this mani I used Elevation Polish Ama Dablam with Zoya Frida for a jelly sandwich. I used 4 coats of Frida as my base (most people could get away with 2-3 but my nails are very stained). I then added one coat of AD as a gradient with a full accent nail. There is one coat of Frida over AD on my index finger & pinky and 2 coats of Frida over my middle & index fingers.
