Well hello, my loyal subjects ;) Time for this month's Polish Days event! The theme is the Seven Deadly Sins. In the words of "Polly Polish":
I, at first, wanted to do some sexy fishnet sort of nails to illustrate Lust... but then I remembered that 1) a lot of people will probably do that and I want to be different, and 2) I've done several fishnet designs before! I also really wanted to try this design I saw Robin Moses call Snow White Bling on YouTube (yes, "inspired by Robin Moses!") ...AND I've also had the idea to do something inspired by a new perfume I got, that comes in this lush bottle. So without further ado...
How does this fit into the "seven deadly sins"? Well, I suppose it's not direct, but I am really proud of it and it is kind of showy, so it could fit into Pride, right? (Or perhaps lust or envy... because let's face it, you know you want these. Rawr.)
Base for this mani is two coats of Ulta Snow White. Atop that is a coat of Nubar 2010, a great flakie polish that gives it a subtle yet multichromatic shimmer that is a different colour with every lighting and angle situation! (It is similar to Essie Shine of the Times or Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure.)
I then dabbed on a diagonal stripe with Essie Set in Stones, the best silver glitter polish evaaaar. While that was wet, I added a bunch of small 1.5mm silver and 2mm iridescent rhinestones. Fancy! Sealed in with a careful topcoat of Seche Vite for protection and mega-shine.
Oh and aren't you folks lucky? I actually bothered to clean up my cuticles properly before taking photos. I can be a classy bird now and then...
Hope you enjoyed this post, and that I didn't come off too Pride-ful! Just enough for it to count for the challenge ;) Make sure to check out the other participants' designs below! xoxo
Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride. Unless you’re a saint there’s a chance you’re guilty of at least one. I’m leaving this one up to your imagination though, so however you chose to interpret the theme, it’s up to you! Afterall, who am I to judge your sins ;)

| The iridescence of those larger rhinestones really shows up in sunlight. :) |

DeleteThis is very pretty. I love using Rhinestones on my nails!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Man, I do too. Feels so luxe. I need to buy more, I nearly finished my wheel with this mani haha x
Deletesexy rhinestones anyway love!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Love the theme this month.. they are always so fun!
DeleteThis is completely off topic, but how does the Marchesa perfume smell? Sephora keeps recommending it to me but it doesn't seem like what I usually wear.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE it. I am not big on scents but I tried a sample of this one and just fell in love. It's not too heavy or sickly sweet, it's just romantic and feminine with enough of a nice floral smell. I reallllyyy like it. Pop by an Ulta or Sephora and see if you can find a sample of it! :D
Deletecute <3

Pretty!
ReplyDeleteNice! Definitely posh and bling-y! If you had left out the clean-up, you could have thrown in Sloth too! LOL! *kidding*
ReplyDeleteOh, that's brilliant! Haha, wish I had thought of that! :)
DeleteSo pretty and elegant. Love the diagonal-ness of the glitter/rhinestones. It is sort of like an inverse galaxy paint job. So amazing. I have bookmarked it for ideas later, I just have to now grow out my nails.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks! Makes me happy that I could be an inspiration :D Post a link here if you do it--I'd love to see!
DeleteAnd, if you look at the video in the original post where I got the idea from myself, you will see that Robin did them on shorter nails. You don't have to have long nails to have gorgeous nails! x
Gorgeous nails! I love this design. I love silver and need that glitter in my life!
ReplyDeleteYou really do! It's seriously my favourite glitter polish of all time. I recommend it to absolutely everybody. :D
