I hadn't intended to sit down to do my nails the other day but I had some time to kill while I waited for my boyfriend to Skype me. I waited... and waited... and was conveniently perched at my vanity, where my nail polish is housed so I took off the chipped blue polish I'd been rocking and got my nails did.
I had initially intended to just do some matte black nails with a glitter accent. Cute right?
So I painted my nails with a coat (or two...) of NYC's Longwearing Nail Enamel (don't let them lie... it's not long wearing at all but kinda does the job for a few days) in 119 Black Lace Creme with a layer of NYC's Matte Me Crazy topcoat. As much as I complain about the longevity of NYC's polishes, I LOVE the matte top coat and you can't get it cheaper anywhere else, really.
Then I was like... check out this cool glitter by Candies called White Noise that I got for Christmas and haven't used yet. I'ma use it for my accent nail. I painted my ring fingers, watched it dry, fell in love, and promptly paints all my nails.
Seriously, why did I wait so long to try this glitter? AHH!
The pictures above are obviously pre-cleanup. I just couldn't wait to take pictures. Pictures below are a day after I painted them so there might be a few chips because I was crafting and mess them up. Go figure.
I can't stop looking at my fingers and even though my nails chipped and the glitter pieces have begun to peel up a bit, this is my favorite mani. How wickedly awesome does that look?
Has a nail polish color ever surprised you and instantly become your favorite?
