Did you know I have an obsession with black white mix combo polishes and it's many variations? It's to the point that even when something looks extremely similar to something I already own I still want its delicious doppelganger. So believe me when I say when I found a black, white, purple, and more purple combo it was "buy it now" at first site. I'm talking about Charm Your Nails Instant Gratification which is pretty much exactly how I described it above - black, white, purple, purple, love. Hehe. I wanted to make a gradient and work this polish into it so that's exactly what I did ;)
Matte heaven right? So freaking pretty! |
I chose Orly Satin Hues Satin Reflection as the base. It's a delicious matte silvery white polish that lives in my dreams and is unbelievably decadent. I almost used this one for my AIS something matte challenge on Sunday and so I needed to use it once it was out floating around my field of vision. By the by I'm stalking the Satin Hues and I really need the others to complete my collection if you have a source do let me know! Anyhoo I created a gradient over this using Orly Velvet Rope and Essie Nothing Else Metals. Finally, I put a coat of Instant Gratification on top for the final effect.
So good right? Someone please help me find the rest of these especially Gala!!! |
Loving all the little squares in various shapes and colors! |
More notes on Instant Gratification: This polish is dense and requires a very delicate hand otherwise you will overwhelm your base. Using the dab method or removing most of the polish from the brush before running it over your nails is advised. On the plus you won't have to dig for glitters they are readily available. I'm loving this polish! It's beautiful and oddly complex for the simple color mix :) So thoughts? Love it or leave it? Interested in owing it? Find Charm Your Nails here. Thank you for reading and see you next post! Toodles...
