No blue or purple and only a little green today :-)
My base color for this mani is Catrice Rest In The Forest (Siberian Call Limited Edition), a clear base filled with beige and pink glitter flakes that give the polish a pinkish-nude foil look. Application was easy, but Rest In The Forest is very sheer, I used three coats and my nail line still was visible.

On top of Rest In The Forest I dabbed one coat of Darling Diva Polish Chandelle, "crystal glitters in a rosey taupey base wtih pink, green, gold holographic, and copper glitter. It is a very grown up glitter polish and might be that bridge to wearing glitter to a conservative office?"

I actually wore this mani for a business meeting, and there were comments about my nails, so I can confirm the wearability in office :-)
For a smooth finish I added one coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and one coat of Essence Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer.

Just lovely...even if it isn't blurple. :) I'm lucky because I can wear whatever I want to the office. My boss loves nail polish and since I match it to my clothing, I always look pulled together.
ReplyDeleteUsually I wear everything I want, almost everything I post here was a "work-mani". But sometimes I've got what I call "business meetings", which often are in fact court sessions / trials (I work at a court of law), and for these occasions I prefer neutral manis to preserve the people's trust in our justice system ;-)
DeleteOfcourse you can wear this at the office! Then again, I would wear just about anything at the office, lol :-) Have a lovely weekend miss!
ReplyDeleteI usually do, too, but as I explained in the previous comment, there are some occasions where I have to appear more, well, respectable that at a normal day ;-)
DeleteI wish you a great weekend, too. I'm sure mine will be lovely, I'm going to see my boyfriend again, haven't seen him for three weeks now...
Beautiful - this is what I call sophistication with an edgy and a wink!!! I always look for those kind of office appropriate manis - luckily I can also wear anything I want on most days but then there are those days were I just prefer to walk the planet in a more corporate mood!!! You always show us great ways to bridge our love for eye-catching nail polish with corporate appropriateness!!! Enjoy your weekend :-D
ReplyDeleteJust like me, most of the time I wear blues and greens and purples for work, but just as you said, there are these days where the bright colors just don't fit. But as I get bored with a simple creme mani extremely fast, I always have to add something :-)
DeleteI hoffe, du hesch o es schöns Wuchenänd :-)
