Teal Please!!! Cult Nails Let Me Fly

Anyone out there who also took the opportunity to stock up on Cult Nails during their storage sale in December? Cult Nails are planning for some new inventions regarding their range of products and in order to get room for them, they did a huge destash of their storage by having an awesome sale in December. The right moment to pick some gems I missed out earlier or kicked out of my cart having second thoughts as they will vanish from the surface of earth once sold out.

Let Me Fly is one of those polishes I always planned to get but then I mostly did pre-orders of the complete collections and sort of never got back to their "general" store. Finally you are mine, beautiful Let Me Fly - YAYYY! Let me Fly is a dusty teal cream filled with green and magenta and if my eyes don't fool me purple shimmer.

I applied two effortless coats of Cult Nails Let Me Fly over Essence Hardening Nail Base. I love the reliability of Cult Nails formula for creams - easy to control, just the right consistency - well maybe on the thin side - and quick drying!

Final thoughts:  A teal classic this little number! Cult Nails Let Me Fly is while a cream gracing your nails with the perfect amount of understated bling by the soft yet visible shimmer!

Bonus polish: Another longtime lemming found its way home to me during that sale: Hypnotize Me - the sheer glimmer (composed of GLItter and shiMMER as I could not decide to which side this belongs to) in a sheer green base.





I applied one coat of Hypnotize Me over my Let Me Fly mani - bly me - I was in some serious shortage of oxygen upon turning and twisting my hands. The formula was perrrfect: the brush poured the right amount of polish onto my nails and silkily distributed over the nails. Hypnotize Me dries to a satin finish - a glossy Top Coat will bring all that sparkle to life.

I ordered both, Let Me Fly and Hypnotize Me with Cult Nails own webshop here.

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for stopping by!!!

  2. This looked great. It actually feels close to the Ilarowe you showed previously. I imagine they would look great together in a skittle perhaps a gradient. ;)

    1. Oh thank you Gelic!!! You git my brain spinning..... Could you possibly refer to Paradise Found? I have to try to combine them, however I think "the mood" of the two is very different - but then this could add quite an interesting dimension..... still thinking...... ;-)
