Wednesday's Smitten Mani

Hello My Smitten's

Today I have some purple thunder for you.  LOL ok, I don't know where that came from.  That was just my creative mind speaking.  The glitter in this mani looks like a thunder storm developing in the sky.  You still don't see it?  Ok then, lets move on ;) .   I did a half moon mani with Butter London Brummie and China Glaze Ray-Diant.

Fish anyone?  This is my second attempt at a fishtail accent nail (I haven't posted the 1st one yet.).  It isn't turning out the way I want, but this is cute so it will do :) .  I am trying to channel this fishtail mani tutorial I found on Lucy's Stash blog. Cute right!? 



I used Butter London Victoriana as my base.  On the fishtail accent nails I used Knackered and Layla Metal Chrome.



Victoriana is such a beauty!  It was opaque in 1 coat. I used 2 coats for this mani (only because I am addicted to the simple act of applying polish).  Knackered on the other hand is very translucent.  I don't know how many coats it would take to be opaque since I was just using it for the fishtail accent.  Layla is an amazing chrome; one of the best.

You know what I realized when I got outside in the sun.  Knackered has a pretty purple shimmer.  I really have to start photographing in the sun. My apologies, you can't see the beauty of this polish :(

Overall, I think this turned out pretty good.  You like? Have you tried a fishtail mani yet?

Purple Glitter

 

I am being a woman of few words with this post because it is soooo late and I am sooooo tired but I must say I gained a new respect for Julep polishes with Morgan.  This polish is so pretty and the formula is perfect.  This is my first time in history only using one coat of polish and being completely satisfied.  This polish was completely opague in 1 coat.  I couldn't even bring myself to put another coat over that perfect 1st coat.  All Hail Julep; you won my heart with this one!

 

 

 

Do you have either of these polishes?  How many coats of polish do you swatch?
