Cult Nails Nail Art

Maria from Cult Nails is hosting a Nail Art Contest in which the entrants need to use at least one Cult Nails polish in their design.

Now many of you know I'm a nail art newbie & that I am not that great.  But I gave it my best shot and this is what I came up with:

My design was inspired by a Lollia candle that I received from my mother-in-law for studying.  I know it sounds strange, but just bear with me.  It was her go-to candle that inspired her as she worked on her PhD thesis.  She said she went through at least a dozen of these in the past 2.5 years completing her PhD.  As the generous woman that she is, she bought me one to light & enjoy as I work on my graduate school studies.   It was a thoughtful and meaningful gesture.  She is amazing and such an inspiring woman.

My nail are design includes Cult Nails Cruisin' Nude and Cult Nails Iconic (as well Cult Nails' famous base & top coat).  This was done on a canvas of Zoya Jane (3 coats).  I hope you enjoy my inspired, personal connection to this manicure.  Thank you for reading:)

Cult Nails Top & Base Coat

Last month, (I know I'm bad-I'm sorry I'm so behind!) I won 4 Cult Nails polishes of my choice, THE Cult Nails nail file, and the soon-to-be-released Wicked Fast & Get It On (Top & Base Coat).  Maria packed them in this adorable cupcake box!  

Since receiving this glorious package, I've fallen madly in love with both Wicked Fast and Get It On.  The base coat, Get It On, somehow makes it so I have to do fewer coats of polish for some of my favorite polishes.  It prevents cuticle drag of even the fussiest formulas and makes the polish stick.  Wicked Fast, the Cult Nails top coat, dries quickly without bubbles and leaves your manicure with a glossy shine.  These are seriously the "dream team" of top and base coats. 

Here is an experiment I did to prove to you the unparalleled quality of these polishes.  After prepping my nails as usual, I put one coat of Get It On on my middle finger (far) and one coat of another widely used base coat on my ring finger (close).  After they had completely dried, I put one (not too thin/thick) coat of a polish that usually requires 2 coats because of its streaky nature.  The difference between the Cult Nails polish and the *other brand* is unreal. 

If you are looking for an amazing base & top coat you MUST go over to http://shop.cultnails.com/ and buy this incredible duo.  Or  go to Cult Nails on facebook where you'll find out the latest Cult Nails news.  Maria is going to release these beauties any day now, so feel free to stalk her lovely shop & check out her infamous polishes!

**Update: you can buy both the top & base coat for $15 or you can by them separately for $8 each**
