I wore this manicure last week and forgot to post it because honestly I wasn't too thrilled with it. I picked up Nicole Kim-parison from Ulta for $3.99 because I didn't have an off white color and was looking to do a light manicure as a change from my bold color schemes. This color was ok to apply, a little on the thick side, but it could have just been my bottle. I like the coverage, and it could have been a 1 coater but I didn't feel that it was even enough in all spots. I then added Essie As Gold As It Gets to the ring finger, and Zoya Maise to the rest of the nails. This is the result. Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns?

This was such a subtle effect and I think I will try it again with a different combination. I don't think these glitters were showcased well with Kim-parison. I was so disappointed with the color that I put it in the bag to swap with the ladies from Beauty Bloggers of Central Florida.

Best of Both Worlds

Here is another creation that I saw in InStyle magazine last year. Firstly the concept of Matte nail polish was foreign to me. In all my years of being exposed to nail polish the concept was in total contrast to the purpose of top coat. To shine, seal and deliver the new look of the mani, not to dull it down and make it look like chalk. So when I saw this black mani showcasing both finishes, I had to try it. I call it Best of Both Worlds because it shows both finishes together beautifully. Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns?

Nicole "Razzler Dazzler Matte" and Seche Vete topcoat on tips. The only thing with this mani is you have to be careful when applying lotion to your hands. It takes away from the intense contrast of the finishes by moisturizing the matte polish. A suggestion would be to add an actual matte topcoat first and then add the SV to the tips.
