Goldie is a goodie
Here is a quick swatch of another gorgeous holographic nail polish from Goldie. Goldie 1 is a pretty pale lavender holographic polish that took 4 medium coats to be opaque and a little more time for drying. However, as you can tell, it is totally worth it. I really like this color!

Spring Gradient
Today the sun is peeking out from the clouds and it makes me feel like warm weather is here to stay soon. Here is my spring gradient for this Friday! I used 2 coats of JOE Dupioni as my base coat, a shimmery white color. Next I sponged on OPI Banana Bandanna, a creamy yellow, on 2/3 up my nails. Finally, I sponged on Goldie 13, a bright shimmer pink, on my tips. I used a coat of nubar Pixie Dust to give it a little more sparkle. First two pics are taken in light box, last pic is taken with light streaming in from the windows.
For my floral designs, I put on gold and pink hexagonal sequin on to form flowers on the rights side of each nail. Lastly, I topped it all off with Seche Vite. That is all for today! Is spring in the air for you Polish Addicts?

Goldie in Stitches
Today is another Goldie nail polish that turned out to be quite a nice surprise. The color in the bottle totally did not represent how gorgeous it is on. Goldie 7 is a pretty medium pink holographic nail polish. I used 4 thin coats to achieve opacity. The dry time on this polish was longer than OPI/China Glaze but it was not as long as SkinFood. I am so glad I stumbled onto this color!
After a day, I stamped on a swirly pattern using my new Bundle Monster plate 9 with Essie In Stitches, a creamy dusty pink. I liked the subtleness of this design as it still allows me to see the gorgeousity of the holographic polish while given it a bit of elegant flair with the design.
Have you tried any Goldie polishes yet Polish Addicts?

Sprinkles and icing
Today I have some yummy nails that my friend showed me a picture of and told me I should try. So here is my attempt at it!
I used two coats of Goldie 02, a light mauve pink as my base coat. Goldie is a new brand I have come across recently. They are advertised to be 3-Free and Vegan friendly. Their formulation is a bit runny and the brush is a little longer than I would have liked, but the color is very pretty and drying time was decent. Sorry about my swatch for the color! I almost forgot to take a picture and started drawing my icing already.
I used Sephora by OPI Dating the Drummer, a shimmery brown, as my icing. For my sprinkles, I used SkinFood PK004, Sally Hansen White On, and OPI What's with the Cattitude?
I have cut down my nails to nubbins for my dodgeball playoffs this week. So you will have to bear with me! Thanks for reading.
