Cult Nails Manipulative from the Divas & Drama Collection

Cult Nails Manipulative swatch from the Divas & Drama collection

Looking at pictures which you made before breaking your nails a couple of times can be painful and make you sob. Nonetheless I continued browsing through my manicures to look which swatches I haven’t posted yet and Cult Nails Manipulative caught my attention. How come that this beauty from the Divas & Drama Collection isn’t up yet? Because Manipulative is now limited edition (but still available as for today) I knew that this muted light blue green, which leans somewhere inbetween a muted seafoam green and a muted robin’s egg blue, had to be up asap. :)

Manipulative was a bliss to apply. I used three thin coats in the pictures but it also would have been opaque with two regular coats. The base of Cult Nails Manipulative is a cream but it is also contains blue and pink shimmer and shimmer flecks. On the nails – due to the opaque base color – the subtle shimmer mostly appears blue.

Muted light blue greens are one of my favorite nail polish colors. They are soft with an edge and classy with an attitude.

I wish Manipulative wouldn’t be limited edition. Get it while you can! :)

Do you have a favorite Cult Nails nail polish?

Thanks for looking and have a great week! ♥

    Such a beautiful color! I might have to pull the plug on this. I love the minty, tealy, aqua like colors. And the subtle shimmer is a nice touch.

  9. I like it but I wish the shimmer was just a tiny bit more prominent. Either that or a straight creme – that would be pretty!

      In sunlight and direct lighting the shimmer is more prominent Lindsey. :) I made these pictures in my lightbox whichs indirect lighting shows less sparkles.

    This one is very pretty on you. I have it but I just don’t do blues too often.

    • the-swatchaholic on said:

      Thank you so much love! :)
      Blue is the color I seem to neglect the most too. I have worn a few lately but most of the time I pick a purple, green or any holo instead. :D
      I’m so happy to see you and Landa back! *squishes* ♥

  13. Haven’t tried their nail polishes, I’ve decided I’m Anny team so I’m going only for those at the moment + they’re available in Croatia which makes easier buying them :)

    Cult Nails do have so many lovely colors and too bad they aren’t available here :(

      Anny has lovely nail polishes and I love them too Vesna. :)
      Yes sadly Cult Nails is only available online but they ship to almost every country and should ship to Croatia I think? :)
      Maybe you can make a Cult Nails order one day. I love their nail polishes. ♥
