Roses & Love Letters Nail Art feat MoYou London & Bubblelina Hot Suga

Lacquer ladies,

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!
