Happy first official Fall #CBBxManiMonday! After doing this manicure, I remembered why I don't often do vampy nails - the bloody-looking cuticles. Maybe it works out because Halloween is coming, but I don't think you will see this colour again on my nails...
Essie = Press Sample and Chanel = Self Purchase
Originally, I wanted to show off this pretty Chanel purple glitter in the shade Spectaculaire 429 from their Summer collection, but it was pretty sheer so I thought layering it with a vampy purple would really bring out the glitter!
On My Nails:
(Base Coat) Sally Hansen Nail Rehab
(Base Colour) Essie Gel Couture Tailored by Twilight*
(Design) Chanel Spectaculaire
(Top Coat) Essie Gel Couture Top Coat*
Everything seemed relatively fine in the photos, but maybe the Essie polish did not like the acetone clean up as the base polish began to migrate out from underneath the top coat! From far away you cannot tell, but I'm not too happy with how it all turned out considering I was looking forward to using my fresh nails for jewelry photos at work! Maybe I will try this Chanel glitter again with more of a grape purple as it really was a pretty glitter!
Happy Monday and short week to anyone who has one!
