Tag: Paint It Pretty Polish
Crazy Plant Lady
I honed a lot of skills during the lockdowns, but one of my proudest accomplishments was turning my black thumb into a green one. Okay, maybe I am exaggerating a bit, but at least I can now keep ivy and succulents alive. I learned enough to be able to proudly wear this nail polish though – Paint It Pretty Polish “Crazy Plant Lady”.
“Crazy Plant Lady” is from March’s Under the Microscope Polish Pickup and it’s another MAGNETIC polish. It’s inspired by plant cells under the microscope and I feel like I’ve seen plant cells under a microscope before…but that was like 40 years ago, so I’m just gonna agree. This is also my first Paint It Pretty and it was a nice formula and easy to use. I used the exact same method as “Secret Allure” and I love the velvetized french manicure look.
This is two coats of “Crazy Plant Lady”, magnetized with a round rare earth magnet using DRK Nails Magic Effect and over Cuticula Mic Drop Base Coat in “Tropical Oasis” and under Cuticula Limitless Top Coat in “Blackberry Passionfruit“.
Polish Pickup March 2025 – Under the Microscope
All things considered, my March order was fairly conservative. The theme was really good though – “Under the Microscope” – but I didn’t see too many unique polishes, which surprised me.
The first things I snagged were DRK Nails “Erythrocytes” ($14), as well as DRK Nails Magic Effect for Magnetic Polish ($11.20). “Erythrocytes” is the scientific name for red blood cells and the polish is inspired by red blood cells under the microscope. I’m excited to see if I get better results with Magic Effect.
Paint it Pretty Polish “Crazy Plant Lady” ($13.50) is another magnetic polished, inspired by plant cells under the microscope.
Finally, I couldn’t resist another bottle of Cuticula Limitless Quick Dry Scented Top Coat in “Froot Loops” ($10). Who doesn’t like the scent of Froot Loops?
