Some neutral glitter for today: KBShimmer Elle.
"The circus, full of fun, color, and a wonder for people of all ages. Lions, tigers, and elephants! Elle is our nail polish elephant. A pale grey jelly color, we added several pink glitters, white and grey glitters for a polish that soft and beautiful."

The grey jelly base is very sheer, I used three coats for this squishy look. Application was easy, no fishing or placing of glitters needed. Elle dried pretty smoothly, so I added only one coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri.
Then I matted this mani with Essence Soft Touch Topcoat to make it even more demure, as I wore it to a congress for work.
KBShimmer polishes are sold on their website (US only) and at Harlow & Co.
Beautiful! Haha, seeing the photo of Elle in my Blogstream my first thought was, hmmm I bet this had to be corporate appropriate - I got used to your rather sparkly and exiting nails ;-) b.t.w. I more often than not don't seem to be able to open a comment field here so my lack of comments is also due to some application mysteries ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou're so right, I hardly ever wear shades like this one if I don't have a meeting ;-)
DeleteAre you visiting my blog with your cell phone? I sometimes have troubles with the comment box on other blogs in the mobile version. It usually helps if I change to the web version.
I like it more matte - the shiny version is too much glitter for me somehow!
ReplyDeleteI prefer it matte, too. The shiny version builds such a contrast between the calm colors and the bling-bling shiny-ness. Sometimes I like contrasts, but here I prefer a calm finish with my calm colors.
DeleteThis is a pretty polish...I was eyeing it earlier and your lovely photos are a wonderful representation. :) Now I just need to decide whether or not I need it. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, you're reasonable enough to decide by means of need? How exemplary! I always try to stop buying every polish I like and buy only polishes that are different enough from what I already have, but it doesn't work always. In fact, hardly ever...
DeleteI love this polish. It's one of my favorite indies. I just adore the pink and grey combination.
ReplyDeleteIt really is gorgeous :-)
