Today's mani is very sweet and springy even though the weather outside is anything but... I wanted to create something that was somewhat romantic for the spring and that worked well with the polish I used as a base - Bubblelina Hot Suga. Hot Suga is a thermal pale whiteish pink polish when warm that shifts to a pale blushing pink when at 72 degreees or so. This polish is delicate and packed with holographic glass-like flecks and shimmer. And as an extra bonus it smells like sweet vanilla frosting!
For the nail art I wanted something that would reflect the delicacy of the polish so I turned to my trusty MoYou London Pro plates to create a lighthearted feel. I also chose to do gradient stamping for the letters and patterns that I wanted to contrast with the thermal change. However I had an insanely hard time getting this polish to shift unfortunately. This is the first time I've encountered a polish that shifts when cold and even under cold water it was difficult to see the change until I placed the bottle directly under the spout. It is also extremely sheer and required 4 coats to reach the opacity pictured here.
This is the shifted version as you can it's incredibly subtle.
So overall I'm pleased with the simplicity of this mani and I could not stop sniffing my fingers they smelt so amazing even under topcoat! I probably wouldn't recommend Hot Suga for anyone that couldn't stand having their fingers cold, but it is a beautiful polish even without the thermal aspects. In any case I hope you liked this mani! Thanks for reading and see you next post!
