After yesterday's neutral, a little more color for today's mani.

As base color I used Essence Dark Night Starlight (Dark Romance Trend Edition), an indigo polish with pink flakes that give it a blurple look. As always, my camera swallowed most of the purple, just imagine it a smite less blue.
The first coat was pretty sheer, but it was almost opaque with the second. I added a third coat for more saturation. Essence calls this one "the sparkling", but actually it's not sparkling at all. Even with topcoat it has more of a satin look.

Then I used Barry M Lilac Foil, a lilac foil polish (duh) and Bundle Monster plate BM-406 to add the stamped pattern. One coat of Rica Glossy Glam Topcoat finished this mani.

Gorgeous purple and such pretty stamping - on my phone your nails look beautifully purple by the way :-)
ReplyDeleteSo your phone "feels" what a polish actually looks like and shows it that way? That's amazing! ;-)
DeleteI love the delicate Stamping! But I liked the neutral Mani yesterday too đ It's pretty in a different way..
ReplyDeleteWell, the amount of neutral polishes in my stash is nearly as large as my blues, I like to alternate once in a while :-)
DeleteAnother amazing design, but what else is new... :-) You always deliver!
ReplyDeleteAnd you always know how to make me blush :-) Thank you so much, Melissa!
DeleteEine schöne Kombi, das Stampingmuster gefÀllt mir gut.
ReplyDeleteVielen Dank Wiebke, ich mag diese Schnörkel-Muster am liebsten :-)
