This design was part of the Maniswap Circle on Instagram, organised by glacewing (Angela) and natasha_dauncey (Natasha).

The Maniswap Circle specifies a colour each time to use. Read More

I wanted to make the most of the blacklights I knew I’d be under this weekend, so I brought out the Orly Neon Gradient. These glow beautifully when exposed to UV light! Read More
