Hello everyone! Happy New Year!
The base is Harmony gelish, Up in the Blue. I am fairly new to using soak-off gels at home, I use the Red Carpet Manicure set. I love it and it is easy to use. Today I am focussing on the two colours I have applied over the gel base.
The colours I have chosen are Mockingbird by Liquid Lacquer and Once Upon a Starry Night by I Love Nail Polish. Both are very different from each other and it is not immediately apparent that they should be layered together. Yet, I think it works!

Mockingbird is a bright mid blue (think almost Nails Inc Baker Street) but with a translucent, jelly formula, filled with matte white discs and hexagons of varying sizes. A dream to apply and jelly like enough to allow the starry night effect to show yet blue enough to lift the whole effect.
Here is a close up of the ring finger showing the fluke lone star! Both polishes are beautiful on their own, probably best as a topcoat in the case of ILNP Once upon a Starry Night and Mocking Bird builds easily with two or three coasts to be wearable as a jelly finished polish, with sky blue and white features... the colour of the polish tints the white. In conclusion, I think both polishes together work well. Perhaps better than being on their own! There is a beautiful blue, a variety of glitters and some sparkle, although the rainbow of sparkle is muted and tinted blue by the the Mockingbird.
On the nails; a lovely bright blue filed with black, white and sparkly blue glitters. A jelly holding pieces of sparkle within. Fab.
See those stars? |

The blue of Mocking bird is complemented by the white hexes. The larger ones did tend to curl and as I am not a fan of very large glitter, I was able to pick them off my nails before it dried!
