For today I doctored up my Color Club Get Your Lem-on manicure, but I used China Glaze Crushed Candy Crackle Glaze rather than Konad. I was thinking of what color to use for Konad, and I kept nixing choices because I know that the color shows up strangely on neon yellow, when it occurred to me to try out Crushed Candy for a potentially Easter-y version of Get Your Lem-on.
I added a coat of Crushed Candy, then two coats of some Nutra Nail strengthener that's clear and a coat of quick dry top coat to smooth it out. I'd been using one coat of Gelous rather than the Nutra Nail, which worked just fine, but I don't have enough Gelous left for one manicure and most likely won't repurchase it. The sun came out for a bit yesterday, so I was able to take a picture in sunlight.

This worked out well for me since it tones down the yellow so much and I'm wearing this manicure to church today. It's like an Easter egg is getting cracked open and the yolk shows (although that imagery doesn't withstand close scrutiny - I really don't want an egg with a neon yolk). I can also still catch the lemon fragrance under all those additional coats, which is pretty impressive.
That's my manicure for Easter, and so far, Easter is shaping up into a pretty dang good day. Until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!
