The Manicure Moment: Dark Glitter Accent Nail
For
some people, glitter nail polish is only reserved for festive periods
and nights out, but I don't agree at all - for me, every day is
glitter day! Adding a touch of glitter is also a super easy way to
make a manicure look more sophisticated and fun. Today I want to
share with you a simple way to wear glitter during the winter time!
As
many of you I'm sure, I tend to wear darker shades around this time
of year. It just matches the weather I guess! I love this shade
by Chanel, n°509 Paradoxal. I've
had this for a few years now, and the formula of Chanel nail polishes
wasn't the best then - it chips very quickly, which annoys me a lot
because the colour is beautiful and I love having it on my nails.
However I think they've changed their formula now and I've read many
great reviews of new nail polishes, so I'll have to try out a new one
to see if they've done a good job. This colour is very hard to
describe, I see it as a deep purple with a grey undertone, and tiny
tiny shimmer in it, that you can barely see. I'm not a fan of purple
nail polish for some reason, so muted tones like this one are my
favourite.
On
my ring finger I am wearing the OPI All Sparkly and Gold,
which is one of the most beautiful nail polishes that I own! It is
pure gold glitter, that sparkles under the light and looks simply
gorgeous. I put two coats on, and it dries very quickly and stays on
forever.
I
think the gold enhances the dark nail polish and adds a little
something - dark and light, plain and glitter! Also because the main
colour is dark, I find that it looks quite chic and minimalist as
well.
Do you like wearing glitter on your nails? What is your typical winter manicure?
