Hi Goddesses
Happy Sunday!! I hope
you’re having a relaxing weekend. As a
lot of you know, Friday was my birthday, and I wanted to do some epic nails for
the day. I even made sure the GOT Polish
prompt was purple so that I could be all colour co-ordinated.
I was very smitten with a mani that Chalkboard nails did a
couple of weeks ago – HERE – and couldn’t get it out of my head. In the end, I didn’t go for a copycat mani,
but it was definitely my jumping off point.
I decided it was a great excuse to use some of my favourite
purples, and used 11, plus the gold.
Sadly, it’s not my Top 11 purples because I decided to exclude glitters
and holos.
Let’s run through the combos first –
·
Base polish – Cult Nails My Kind of Cool Aid –
all time classic perfect lilac!
·
Thumb – Wet n Wild Buffy The Violet Slayer and
Contrary Polish Purple Smoke
·
Index – OPI Grape Set and Match and OPI You’re
Such a Budapest – tonally, I don’t think Budapest worked
·
Middle – China Glaze Let’s Groove (sooooo
under-rated) and OPI Planks A Lot which was too similar to the base polish –
you can barely see it lol
·
Ring – Rimmel Punk Rock and Indigo Bananas Hole
In The Sky
·
Pinkie – OPI Who Are You Wearing and Sally
Hansen Delphinium
·
Gold – OPI Love Angel Music Baby
Overall, I love the mani, and I am really chuffed I tried
something more intricate, even though it’s not perfect. It’s funny what the camera picks up – in the photos
all I see is how the under-locking near the cuticle looks like I’ve missed something
in clean up!
I had to matte this because there was just no seeing the
pattern when it was glossy – mainly because a lot of the colours are so
similar. I prefer the darker nails –
they definitely have more drama – and if I was going to do it again, I’d keep
to that colour scheme.
