Vanessa Molina - Zombie On Fire

More photos (and words) under the cut!

I bought this from the June 2020 Polish Pickup and I think the theme of that one was cocktails? Hence the name. Interestingly enough, this is now the second polish I own that's named after a zombie cocktail (the other being Blue Zombie from Scofflaw). I always feel a little bit bad for showing off discontinued or limited-edition colors, but it's a good way to showcase what the brand offers, even if that specific color is no longer available.

This beauty is so full of effects - it's magnetic, it's got tons of glitter and color-shifting flakes, and the base itself is a wild multichrome that ranges from a reddish-violet to orange to green to gold at the most extreme angles. See the first picture, obviously.

The magnetic effect is somewhat more subtle than others; the color shift is silvery, so it's more of a cat's-eye effect than a striking ribbon of contrasting shimmer, but it works for this polish because of everything else going on with it. Case in point, check out the sparkle in these blurry glitter-shots. We've got gold, orange, pink, red, a little bit of purple and blue, so much happening.

As much as I love putting together elaborate nail art, sometimes simpler is better (and always easier), and I was inspired by the name of this one to just do some negative-space flames with black and it turned out looking great! Fun fact: this is the same stamp I used for the flame nail in the Tyreen Calypso BorderNails design and it looks cool as hell on longer nails.

All of these photos were taken inside during a sunny afternoon and for some reason, getting my hand directly up against the window seemed to work best for the Extreme Angle™️ pics. As per all of my nailposting, these photos use my Instagram watermark and they have been cleaned up digitally, but not color-adjusted (from what I remember, some of these are really old).

I think one of my favorite details in pizza tower has to be the tv screen in the corner of the screen that has no other purpose other than to show peppinos completely deranged expressions.

This game has such an unhinged art style I love it.

📍Cazales, Haiti via Swiatoslaw Wojtkowiak

Polish Haitians are Haitian people of Polish descent, dating to the early 19th century. Polish Haitians are mixed race and often identified by such European features such as blonde or lighter and straighter hair, light eyes, and facial features. Prominent Polish communities such as Les Cayes and Cazale have descendants of surviving members of Napoleon's Polish Legionnaires which were forced into combat by Napoleon but later joined the Haitian slaves during the Haitian Revolution. Initially most Poles settled in Cazale, La Vallée-de-Jacmel, Fond-des-Blancs, La Baleine, Port-Salut and Saint-Jean-du-Sud, where they lived as peasants, along with their Haitian wives and families.

Frustratingly complicated for, unsurprisingly, the same reasons (WWII)

I may or may not be working on a new game for Josei After Dark Jam... Hypothetically...

i feel like if I had to compare her last two albums to OG pop taylor albums, midnights (standard edition) would be most similar to a much darker 1989, whereas ttpd (side a) feels more like lover

1000xRESIST-themed nail varnish

The 1000xRESIST brainrot has NOT left me, so I got my nails done with the colours of the sisters! Allmo all alone on the pinky, Watcher and Fixer being cute together, Healer and BBF being... whatever they were (trauma besties?),

Principal and Knower being devious and apart from the other sisters, Observant (sorry for picking Mauve) being as always at Knower's side, and finally ending with Iris and Blue randomly at the end, miscellaneous... (Soz for being a nerd, I just love how the nails look!!)

And if you want to use the same colours, I got Black Ocean 055, Pool Party 433, Deja Vu 788, Cherry Blossom 558, Portland Orange 422, Lucky Red 637, Grape Jelly 581, Frosty Taro 119 (beautiful), and White Fur 161! Sorry I dont remember what Yellow I used :(
