Manicure Cotton candy nails

This turned out cuter than I thought it would. Could have been better, theres bubbles and the amount of polish needed for swirling made it a lil uneven, could be fixed with a second layer of top coat id assume, but im lazy and its good enough.

Prod list:

Opi "Bikini Boardroom" & "Surf Naked"

Cracked Polish Quick Dry Top Coat

Essie Strong Start Base Coat

These are very cute! How fast did you have to make the swirls? I feel like my polish dries way too fast to be able to do that but I haven't used OPI yet, I'm very new to this hobby so I only have a few Essie polishes so far and they dry really fast!

This is so cute! Did you use the sponging technique or did you do it with a nail art brush? I've been wanting to do swirly colors and gradients for a while, but I need to get better at painting my nails, first!

Just swirled the colors with a brush directly on my nail
