Black and Yellow

The nails I'm showing you today are pretty badass.


Cult Nails Feel Me Up with Icing Shredded on top!

To achieve this look I used three coats of Feel Me Up with one coat of shredded on top. Feel Me Up is the perfect "buttercup yellow" and that's how the color got it's name! (Feel me up, buttercup...get it?! :p ) This polish is slightly jelly-like so that's why it need the 3 coats. I forgot to photograph Feel Me Up on it's own before I applied the glitter, but the color shown here is exactly what it looks like.
I found this polish last weekend at Icing when I went on a lunch/shopping trip with Steph from Imperfectly Painted. We like to do those once a month or so. I was SUPER excited when I saw this polish because up until now, I had only seen a black shredded glitter polish from some makers on Etsy (the name is escaping me right now). I almost passed this polish up, because I thought it was a shatter at first glance...I'm so glad I double checked!



Every time I would look down at my nails I would get this song stuck in my head:





Hope you enjoyed!

    1. Yes, Feel Me Up is AWESOME! The shredded polish had this weird sticker on the top that made it look like shatter, but I opened it and looked! It's so cool!

  2. Oh, Feel Me Up--I have much regret at not grabbing that one! I haven't seen Shredded swatched before--interesting.
