Papaya Nail Art Featuring KBShimmer Periwinkle In Time!

Hello everybody! Today I have some papaya nails as well as a gorgeous KBShimmer polish to share!

It is the morning of my second-to-last day of school and I am so freaking excited to be finished as you may know! Now to get studying! :P I think I really need the four-month break we have from school, I've been sleeping as much as I usually do but I've still been so tired lately. The semester just needs to be over! My finals are quite spread out which is nice, but it also means I don't finish until late this month. Are you guys almost done school for the semester and are finals approaching? I'd love to know!

Onto the nails!

Papaya Nail Art Featuring KBShimmer Periwinkle In Time!

I did these nails before I nubbinized my nails as you may notice! I kind of think I cut them too short when I do this every few weeks because I can't wrap my tips without making a mess. They'll be back to this length in a few weeks anyway though! They grow so fast and I'm so lazy about cutting and/or filing them so I let them grow out and then chop them short, as you've probably noticed :P. I try to think of it as a good thing, like, whether you like short nails or long nails I'll always cycle through both!

For my blue/periwinkle nails, I just applied three easy coats of KBShimmer Periwinkle In Time and a coat of top coat (Essie Good to Go). The polish was really easy to work with and I got tons of the larger glitters on basically every nail except my ring finger that you see here! Some of the glitters were even holographic! This is another gorgeous KBShimmer polish with a lovely formula in my books!

As for the papaya nails, I started off with two coats of OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around. Weirdly enough, it ended up looking a lot like My Vampire is Buff when paired with the other colours, despite being a pinky putty off-white nude colour (rather than a yellow-toned off-white nude colour). Next, I went in with OPI Where Did Suzi's Man-go? and an average-sized paint brush for the meat of the papaya, followed by American Apparel Hassid and Crescent Heights on a small paintbrush for the seeds and skin, respectively. I allowed it all to dry and added a thick coat of top coat (again, Essie Good to Go) to avoid smudging my design!
