Anyway, I absolutely loved this mani. I've never done an accent nail before. I used OPI's Metallic 4 Life on all fingers but my ring finger, and Revlon's Starry Pink as the accent nail. Both polishes are silver glitter in a base and have large hex glitter. The Revlon only has one other small size of glitter while the OPI had several different sizes.
Metallic 4 Life is from the Nicki Minaj collection. Every time I see the name I think it says Metallica 4 Life, which would actually make me love the polish more. Metallica is the shit, while Nicki Minaj I can't really say as I don't even think I've heard one her songs all the way through, so I won't judge. Just doesn't seem like my thing. I would really love a Metallica nail polish collection though. Like an acid green with gold shimmer called Battery or a blue jelly with green glitter called Orion (Master of Puppets is my favorite album). This color would have been perfect for it, too. But, I digress.
PICTURE TIME!
This was 2 coats of OPI Metallica 4 Life and 4 coats of Revlon Starry Pink with base and top coats.
What do you guys think? Is there too much contrast between the two colors? Oooh, know what would look cool as an accent nail with Metallic 4 Life? China Glaze's Fortune Teller. Don't you think?
LOVE! Great combo ;-)
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad you like it!
DeleteLove this mani! I especially love to see them next to pretty flowers!
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendi! The flowers are from a tree blooming in our yard. I wish I knew the name of it!
Deleteso beautifully wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love the pink as the accent color. I just ordered my dotting tools, so I hope to deliver more nail art soon!
ReplyDeleteI started my job at the animal shelter today! I walked a pug named Matilda, and she reminded me of your dog. <3

Yay for nail art! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
DeleteAwww, what an awesome job! How is it so far? I want Matilda!!! I have an obsession with pugs, haha.
It's tiring, but rewarding. So far the dogs I've worked with have been sweet and friendly. I want to adopt them all. :P
DeleteHi girl, so glad to see that you're back! Looks like I'm giong to have to catch up on some reading.
ReplyDeleteAlso wanted to say that I was very moved by your "I'm alive" return post. Sometimes it's not about getting OVER stuff, it's about getting THROUGH it. Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.
DeleteDon't worry about work, blog, etc.... don't think about whether you are disappoing others or being judged, do things for yourself. We are all going through our own lives and struggles that most of the time people are so wrapped up in themselves they aren't looking outside at others, really!
Much love...
Thank you so much for your comment. I can't even begin to express how much it means to know that what I said impacted you. I just spoke from my soul and meant every word. It's good to know I'm not alone.
DeleteYeah, I've realized the most important thing is making myself proud and I've realized that I never have been before. This is the first time in my life I've done things because it was what is best for me, not what the people I love thought was best. Although since they care for me, it's all they really wanted to begin with.
I love this combo! I am a big fan of accent nails!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great accent nail! I love the two colors together!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool combination! Not something that you would ordinarily think of but they work really well together.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great color combo! Very tough and girly at the same time. I bought Starry Pink ages ago and still haven't used it for some reason. You've inspired me to try it. :)
