Hey dolls, today I’m wearing the last shade from the Cult Nails fall Hypnotic collection. Awakening is a deep teal creme that is perfectly opaque in two coats. The formula for this shade was almost jelly-like and a little more thin than my other Cult Nails polishes, but the depth is amazing after just two coats. The brush that Maria is chosen is one of my favorites. Awakening is described as the ‘standard’ color in this collection, but believe me, there’s nothing standard about it.

This color is absolutely gorgeous! I wish I could find a pair of suede peep toe heels in this color. I couldn’t just leave this mani alone, so I decided to sponge on Hypnotize Me, the layering polish of this collection. As mentioned here previously, Hypnotize Me consists of blue and green glitter suspended in a green jelly base. This was my first attempt at sponging and I just used a small piece of a kitchen sponge.

I love, love, love this! The sparkle from Hypnotize Me perfectly compliments Awakening. You get the best of both worlds with this technique…I still get to see the beautiful creme and there’s some sparkle. It looks like I dipped my nails in a glitter pot. Love it! Two times for easy nail art! I think I may try some other sponging combos. In celebration of 2000 likes on their facebook page, Cult Nails is offering free shipping through Thursday, October 6.
