Hi! Here's another nail post as I ease my way back into my blogging routine - the NEXT post will be my long overdue final empties post for 2012 - yes finally!
Today's featured mani was what I wore to dinner for NYE. My outfit comprised a dark royal purple top with a black tube skirt so some kind of purple themed mani seemed a logical fit for me! I chose Beaming Violet from Australian beauty brand Natio as my dominant purple shade with a kick of silver glitter on my ring fingers courtesy of another Australian polish: Influential Miss from Mode Cosmetics.
Beaming Violet is a medium violet creme and it applied glassily smooth, with an almost jelly consistency - I loooved how this performed! I keep forgetting *kick* how great quality Natio polishes are as I usually focus my attention on their botanical skin care products - these polishes seriously are great quality as they apply smoothly, wear for quite a few days without any chips and - always worth noting - they are manufactured locally. I know that Natio have expanded their range of polishes and they now have a rainbow of creme shades available in their cute 9ml bottles.
Miss Influential is a uniformly fine silver glitter polish - I applied three coats to get quite an opaque coverage on my ring fingers. Just enough bling for NYE!

ReplyDeleteThanks Saumya :) xo
DeleteI wore Dior Silver Lake on NYE :) It's silver ish with green flecks in it and it was a present from S, so it's one of my favorites :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh! That polish sounds super nice!!! Yay for bling on NYE! :)
DeleteStrangely, I had bare nails on NYE!
ReplyDeleteI must have been testing myself to see if I'd broken my nail-biting habit.
Nope! BLEaggghhhh! XD
Fortunately I didn't do too much damage.
I put on a clear fortifying nail polish the next day.
Good girl Boo! :) Sometimes I nibble if I get stressed too and I gave up biting my nubbins over a decade ago! xo
DeleteThat is a lovely purple. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not hugely into blingy tips but it seems so right during NYE. Sounds like it was fun. :)
Thanks Liz! It was all about eating too much food AND the dessert was TO DIE FOR!!!
DeleteLOVE both shades! I love a good silver especially!
ReplyDeleteI was pretty impressed by the silver glitter - I'm tempted to do a full mani with it because the fine glitter's not too over the top :)
