Twilight Manicure

For some reason, this manicure makes me think of twilight or that last moment of darkness before sunrise. I am loving the accent nail trend, and I wanted one last hurrah of a dark, winter polish. Although, I think this blue would work well on toes for the summer.

Orly Bonder Rubberized Base Coat is the best I have found. L’Oreal “Jet Set to Paris” is a bold, cobalt blue. The index finger is CND “Gold Chrome”. Top it all off with Deborah Lipmann “Boom Boom Pow”. The Lipmann glitter polishes are a grown up version of the pre-teen favorites and make a manicure last ages!

PS – my ring is by Armenta and from an all-time favorite store, Etc…, in Birmingham, Alabama.

Glitter Nails Grown Up

I am definitely on the glitter bandwagon, but I hadn’t quite mastered how to pull it off on my nails.  Happy Birthday by Deborah Lippmann has been in my collection for over a year.  From time to time, I pull it out.  But it usually only stayed on my nails for a couple days.  After messing around with combinations quite a bit, I discovered this look and think it is quite perfect.  I used my favorite nude (Naked) as a base.  For a true opaque, it required three coats.  And then I used Happy Birthday on roughly the top 1/3 of my nails.  What do you think?

 

Deborah Lippmann Dark Side of the Moon

What a little surprise at the bottom of my nail polish drawer! After taking a season off last winter, my Dark Side of the Moon was forgotten. So sad! I can’t believe the jewel tone trend this fall didn’t remind me of this shade earlier. 

When I first purchased this polish, I was looking for an inky black, but it really is more of a deep aubegine.  It has a cream finish that looks shiny on the nail.  Prepare yourself with patience because this will take two or three coats.  Don’t freak out that it looks a little streaky when it is first applied.  

This is the perfect “wine-colored” polish for a fall look – and it was in my drawer all along! Nothing better than when something you love is both timeless and trendy at the same time.

Deborah Lippmann Naked

My search for the perfect, nude polish is over.  Thank you, @Deborah Lippmann.  After experimenting with some high pigment colors over the past couple of years, I realized I needed a good solid break from blacks, blues and golds.  Naked is the perfect nude shade because it is polished and opaque, while complimentary to so many skin tones.  The Lippmann polishes have great staying power on me.  My current manicure is five days old with not a single chip, honestly.  Amazing, huh?
