I was having some unanticipated mani indecision earlier today!
After swatching random holos over my previous mani, swatching various things on a nail wheel, I decided on Pahlish Dark Parades (and I had thought I was going to do a Layla holo).
I didn't want to deal with too many layers, so I opted for a base of one coat of Illamsqua Boosh.
Then I applied Dark Parades using a combination of strokes and dabbing motions to maximize the glitter coverage. I think the technique worked well!
I topped everything with Gelous and Cult Nails Wicked Fast. In fact, I just added an additional coat of Wicked Fast a little bit ago as it all settled down just a little bumpy.
Great formula on Dark Parades, though! Do you see the black bar on the index finger? Love that.
Shannon is opening up her shop tomorrow, Friday, at 7 central time. Here Etsy shop is here.
I can't say if she'll have Dark Parades available or not, but I can promise you that there will be gorgeous and amazing glittery polish to be had!
Georgia was sunbathing while I took pictures. She's been doing that a lot lately as it's been hotter than hot out.

and hi to Georgia! what breed is she? We have a Pom here, he's a cutie (if I say so myself xD)
That turned out really neat!
Estivalia - thanks! Georgia is a borzoi, a.k.a. russian wolfhound. I have two of the lovelies. Varekai doesn't get as much camera time, though, as she's not nearly as "involved" in the nail painting and picture taking process. :) Pom's are adorable, for sure!! I'd love to have a small dog or dogs, too, someday.
You did a great job with this one. I just swatched it today and I should have used a dark blue base.. after 3 coats on it's own, there was still bald spots for me :(
