Hello! I was contacted on IG by a follower asking to participate in a mani swap. Since I love swaps, how could I say no! I've been waiting to post these, but my impatience is getting the best of me. I'll update with her part of the swap when she sends it! (updated!)

I scanned through her manis and saw so many I was interested in recreating. Finally picked one and this is what I ended up with!

According to her comments on her feed, it sounds like she's pretty busy with making videos about her manis and has a few other swaps lined up with other people, so here I patiently (not-so-patiently, lol) wait for Lola's recreation.

| OPI Nail Envy, OPI My Vampire is Buff, Essie Licorice, Sinful Colors Love Nails, Essie Aruba Blue, Seche Vite |
I used OPI Nail Envy for my base coat (2 coats), then one coat of OPI My Vampire is Buff on all my nails. I freehanded the stripes and used my dotting tool for my dots using Essie Licorice.

Then I freehand painted the blues using Sinful Colors Love Nails (found an untried surprise here!) and Essie Aruba Blue.

I also found I need a good medium blue in my collection! All nails are topped in a coat of Seche Vite.
