Vivid Lacquer & Liquid Sky Lacquer Basketweave Nails

Hey lacquer ladies,

When I fall in love I fall hard, and these days the main loves of my life are few but treasured.  Today I had the pleasure of combining two of my loves into one cohesive statement of nail art.  Yes y'all know of love me some Liquid Sky Lacquer and you darn sure know I love me some Vivid Lacquer stamping plates.  In short, it's a love fest over here especially when a holographic polish hits the scene!

Lol I bet you didn't know you were getting vocab lessons up in here!  No seriously swerve has been redefined about a trillion times thanks to pop culture.  I often use it in the context of the 2nd definition, but it is the 3rd that has me, if you'll pardon the phrase, squealing like a stuck pig ;)  Nothing in the world beats a well executed holo - Carolyn of LSL is undoubtedly one of the best.  Every time I get hyped about a holo these days its coming straight from her brand or Elevation Polish.  Swerve is no exception.  A delicious Cinderella blue that refracts the rainbow back from every single angle.



And what can I say about this basket weave pattern from Vivid Lacquer? Only that her plates are so perfectly executed that I never ever struggle to pick up an image.  As always I am so appreciative of the quality of her plates!

Do you like how this turned out? This is fairly simple nail art for me.  Sometimes it does to let a polish speak or let the pattern of a design declare itself loudly.  Today is one of those times when I hesitated to make the nail art too involved and wanted the perfectly done basket weave to stand alone.   And because it was so simple all I could do was stare.  I hope you are staring too :)  Thanks so much for reading and see you next post!
