Celebration 500 Guest Post - Victoria from Manicurator

Hi Goddesses


Today's Guest Post is from Victoria, a lovely lady I met recently through a FB group.  She also comes with a funny story.  One of my BPFF is Emma of Manicurity and a few months ago, Emma was gutted to find there was a blog called Manicurator AND that it was quite good lol.


Fast forward a few weeks, and I find Lady Manicurator herself in a FB group I joined ... oh the dilemma!  Was it disloyal to Emma to make friends with Victoria ?  Well, as I'm not 6 years old anymore, I decided to make friends :)  She also has my admiration - she's mum to twin 3 yr old boys - wow, now THAT'S a challenge :)

Hello everyone!! I'm so happy to be sharing these manicures to help THE CRUMPET celebrate :) And what better way than with F4's purple glitter love fest. This polish is called Grape Escape and it's gorgeous. From their description: "GRAPE ESCAPE is a clear base with purple fine glitters , purple holo glitters , purple square glitters and purple satin matte hex glitters." Those "purple satin matte" hexes are light purple and such a nice unexpected addition, making this not your typical purple glitter. I decided to give you two different chock full of purple looks. 



The first is Grape Escape in a gradient of sorts over Ciate Sugar Plum, which is a lovely lavender creme. I used 3 thins coats and then 1 coat of Grape Escape using just the brush from the bottle, and another coat just on the tips. 



The second look, I started with 2 coats of SpaRitual Heliotrope which is from their new Summer Pigment collection. Gorgeous. Painted the accent nail with Grape Escape and on the other nails, I just dotted on the Grape :) 



Hope you enjoyed this post, brought to you by the color purple :)
XO, Victoria
