First though, some pictures of guppies. The word "guppy" is not particularly graceful. I always imagined it to be some boring brown fish whose reputation was only buoyed by the colorful Flounder from The Little Mermaid (though I'm pretty sure Flounder was a flounder and was only accused of being a guppy because he was afraid of the sunken ship):
But no... guppies are not boring brown fish. They actually look sort of awesome!
Is it just me or do some of these lend themselves really well to nail polish colors and nail art designs?!
Anyway, on to the nail polish: really great application on shimmers and cremes for me. For about $3.50 each (including S&H) from Korea, it's a pretty damn good deal for a nice big bottle of polish (0.61fl oz).
Guppy 77
Mossy green with gold shimmer. This one was super easy to apply and one of my favorites. I love mossy greens!
Guppy 78
Guppy 64
This one was my absolute favorite and completely impossible to capture well. Maroon base with purple, silver and gold shimmer. Not really a foil but with a... diffuse foil finish, let's say.
Close-up of Guppy 64
There is some serious shimmer action going on here. It's dark but glimmers in the sunlight.
Guppy 29
A saturated jelly cobalt. Three coats here. It's so reflective because of how glossy it is that it almost hides the VNL. This one was a bit thick so I didn't put on a fourth coat for fear of messing up my mani entirely (and blue is not a fun color to clean up).
