Beauty bits: pink+salmon polish combo

Nail colour of the week was obtained by using one coat of Impala’s Pink and one coat of Colorama’s Coral (salmon with extra tiny shining particles). I guess it looked quite cute, specially with the pink shade underneath the main polish.

I did this last Sunday, after having that luxurious polish I used for the wedding on for only two days. I loved it, but was sick of it already. This morning, three days after painting my nails as I stated above, I started to get tired of it, too. But I did not want to take it all off, so I decided for one more coat of Pink. The result can be seen below.

(in the first picutre, you can see how stained the polish was. i just don’t have a clue why this happened as i am a pretty good manicure. oh, and please disregard the dry cuticles. =p)

Beauty bits: nail polish of the weekend

There’s a wedding I’m supposed to attend this Saturday so I had to paint my nails yesterday. I’m wearing a black lacy dress with a deep burgundy velvet shrug, so I thought it might be a good idea to stick with the reds. As I wanted it to have a little bit of funk, I chose Risqué’s Affair. The colour is a purplish red with some sparkling particles that can only be seen in the sun.

Here you can see how the colour is during day, indoors. Disregard the uncleaness; I got lazy and decided to clean it up later.

In this one, the scintillating bits are more visible. Gorgeous, ain’t it?

Oh, my toes were painted dark grey, but I just did not take a picture. Not too fond of showing my feet to the world, ugh!
