Well, hello. What am I doing posting on a Monday? I decided to join The GLITTAH Pirates Facebook group which is hosting The Neverending Pile Challenge. The purpose is to encourage us all to move polishes from the untried polish to the normal pile. I know I won't be participating in the ALL challenge, especially because it runs all the way down to July but I'll give it a go when I can fill one the prompts.
To start off the challenge, no better prompt could have been than glitter. Glitter is awesome, period. I brought out Hyacinth Sparkle by Nubar, a dense lavender glitter with a beautiful buttery, long lasting formula. I've had this since Nov 2012 as part of a 3-pack and I left it on the untried pile because it looked sheer and I'm not the biggest fan of glitter generally. I only need two easy coats to get full coverage and the simple sparkle of the polish made me fall in love with it.
I have included some swatches below but I didn't just want it leave it at that so I looked some nail art ideas from lack of imagination and settled for the design from this post by Hey, Nice Nails!. I used a black stripper to create the lines on the index finger and added some black square rhinestones on the rest of the fingers to tie it all up. Topped it all off with one coat of HK Girl.
Now for the swatches without topcoat.
I'm really looking forward to the rest of the challenge, especially to some of the later prompts.
Till next time,
Laura
Love that base polish:)
ReplyDeleteIt's such a good basic glitter, I can't believe I overlooked it for so long!
DeleteWhat a lovely shade!
ReplyDeleteIt's a really nice colour that suits a lot of skin tones too!
DeleteI love that pattern on your accent nail! And a beautiful glitter =)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have to look for patterns elsewhere and recreate them. Maybe one day I'll be super creative and come up with my own.
DeleteI love this color!!!! so beautiful!! and I hope you didn't pay your stripper too much.. lolol =)) i know it's a typo, I just couldn't help myself =) (hugs)
ReplyDeleteHaha!!! I can tell you I haven't paid for any black stripper in my lifetime, much less to do my nails, but if I ever do I'll be more than happy to share some photos!!!
DeleteLove it! I love purple shades. Great choice for this challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I feel this is one of those purples that would suit anyone and everyone.
