China Glaze Light as Air and Color Club Magic Attraction!

Hello ladies! I know, it's been quite a while since I last made a blog post. I'm not going to make any excuses, life just gets in the way and making blog posts was my last priority to be quite honest. I am a full-time student. I commute home every weekend (which a huge ordeal and process haha). But I thought I'd pop in and share a mani I did last weekend and actually had a chance to photograph!

Below is 2 coats of Light as Air and the glitter used is by Color Club (it was unmarked in a set), but I believe it to be Magic Attraction!

Light as Air is a gorgeous light lavender creme! It's from China Glaze's Up & Away collection, which I am obsessed with. The application was great; 2 careful coats was perfect for full opacity. I then took Magic Attraction and did a bit of a reverse glitter gradient at the cuticle. 


I hope you guys enjoyed! Glad to be back to post here and there!
