Good morning lovely ladies,
Today I would like to show you a simple but very effective manicure I did during the week using some special effects polishes.
My first step was to paint my nails with two coats of Barry M Dusky Mauve, a dark brown with flashes of purple shimmer.
As much as I like this polish, I always have difficulty deciding which colour would be suitable for stamping on top of it.
So instead of stamping, I decided to use Max Factor Fantasy Fire to create sparks of colour that would be more obvious than the purple shimmer in Dusky Mauve.
Then I decided that layering with one polish just wasn't enough so I added a coat of Essence Night in Vegas and wow, was I impressed with the flashes of red, orange and green that I saw with every glance at my nails. I also loved how Dusky Mauve was transformed, under some lights, to a deep amethyst shade of purple.
What do you think girls? What are your favourite polishes for layering and creating special effects?
Bye for now,
Laura
Ooh, I love it! I think I may use one of my flaky nail polishes for my next manicure x
ReplyDeleteI like Dusky Mauve without - and with both layerings :)
ReplyDeleteThe nice thing about it on its own is that it's really glossy :-)

ReplyDeleteI really like the layering! I have the Catrice Million Style series as my favourites for layering at the moment :)
