I’ve been trying get the number of untrieds in my stash down lately. I came up with the Randomly Generated Mani as a way to stop agonizing over what to wear when I was feeling indecisive. I plunk the size of my spreadsheeet into the handy generator at Random.org and click generate until it gives me something I haven’t tried yet. Sometimes I’ll look for a second, like this glitter topper, and off I go!
Today I got SinfulColors – Opening Night, a dark teal shimmer. Opening Night stained my nails, despite two coats of base coat, so be careful with that one. Use a thick base coat, at least two coats, and don’t use it over a pva glue base without something in between; the acid in the glue makes it easy for polish to stain your nails.
On top, a cheerful glitter topper from China Glaze – Glimmer More. This topper has small fuchsia hexes, and large pale pink, peach, and yellow hexes. Fishing glitter out is no problem, but application works best with a dab and spread method. The base is kind of thick, so all the glitter want to clump up in one place if you let it.
Let me know what you think of this one. Would you ever let a computer choose your nail polish colours for you? Is your nail polish stash big enough that you need to? Tell me in the comments!
Definitely not a big enough stash in order to need a computer to choose for me, but it definitely looks like method works for you!
Something in this glitter looks odd to me, yet the color combination with the background is awesome!
You’re right, the glitter is a bit odd. I don’t know what possessed me to “omg need” the whole collection, but you know me. XD I love these random manis though, because they get me to haul out things I’d never put together intentionally. They look pretty good, all things considered!
Oh, that’s really smart. Maybe I should try the same, my basket with untrieds pile is quite big…
It’s so fun trying to see if things will work out or not. Even if it doesn’t work together, at least you’ve crossed them off the untried list in the end!
