A Maiden Skittlette In Blue
Another saturday, another skittlette mani, another nod to Skittlette-Queen Marta from Chit Chat Nails :-)
My index finger shows three coats of OPI I Don't Give A Rotterdam (Holland Collection), a light grey-ish blue with lots of silver shimmer.
On my middle and ring finger I'm wearing three coats of Elevation Polish Jungfrau, a medium, slightly navy-leaning blue with small flakes shifting from aqua to green. Jungfrau is, as far as I've seen, the only Elevation Polish named after a Swiss Mountain, located in the Berner Oberland next to Eiger and Mönch and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I've never been on top of Jungfrau but I once had the chance to take a helicopter ride around Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, a absolutely wonderufl sight. I didn't know it before, so I didn't bring a camera and can't show you pictures, though.
A little absolutely non polish related trivia for my non german speaking readers: Jungfrau means maiden/virgin, and because she should stay a virgin, the mountain Mönch (= monk) is placed between her and the (male) mountain Eiger ;-)
My pinkie and thumb show three coats of Nubar Boyfriend Jeans, a muted denim blue with grey untertones, topped with a stamping using Color Club Lumin-Icecent, a pale blue foil polish, and Messy Mansion plate A31.
Elevation Polish are available at their own store and at Llarowe.
