This mani caused the most compliments/comments I've ever gotten on my nails. I say comments and not just compliments because there are always those people who say things like, "Wow, that sure is bright" or "That glitter really stands out" and you know they absolutely HATE what you're wearing. Haha. I don't care though; it makes me happy!
This is one coat of Sally Girl Later (gold glitter) over 2 or 3 coats (can't remember!) of China Glaze Foie Gras.
The gold glitter! It's so blinding! Seriously though, if you have a Sally Beauty Supply near you, you need to pick up this little guy. Yes, the bottle is TINY, but at only 99 cents it's affordable to get an extra bottle or two. Or three. And this was only ONE COAT of the glitter. No fishing around for glitter or dabbing the glitter on for this one.
Ya know, I never would think of pairing gold glitter with a shade like this. It really works. Good call, Jess!
ReplyDeleteI think I have a couple of shades that are similar to Foie Gras. I never bought FG because that little voice in my head kept telling me, "You don't really NEED it!". Shut up, Little Voice. :P
I wouldn't have thought to pair them together either, but they were both sitting on my dresser since I bought them close to the same time and thought, "Hmm".
DeleteI hate that little voice! Especially when I don't end up buying something and regret it! Haha.
I'll be honest, I don't like the way Foie Gras looks. It's just too... I don't know. With the glitter, though, it actually makes it much better. I would totally considering wearing it like you have it! Good work :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, Foie Gras is an odd color. I'm not sure how much I'll wear it on it's own. I only bought it because it was ridiculously discounted at Sally Beauty. And glitter makes everything better! ;)
DeleteI have Foie Gras and haven't worn it yet! I need to glitterify it like this! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I want to see what it looks like on you! I think the brown tones paired really well with the gold for some reason. I usually don't repeat manis but I already want to do this again!
DeleteIt looks totally awesome! The combination of these two shades really work well together! :) Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I already want to wear it again!
DeleteI love this so much! I'm a sucker for glitter all over my nails recently. I wouldn't have thought to pair the gold glitter with brown, but it totally works.
ReplyDeleteThis looks excellent, I'm sure I wouldn't like Foir Gras on it's own but the gold makes it look really luxurious :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! The gold definitely gives it that something extra.
ReplyDeleteFoie Gras looks so awesome on! I passed by it when I saw it because I was all like,argh, brown-y nail polish but it is super trendy! Now I really want it! Why do people have to make idiot comments? I hate when someone says crap like, "Oh that outfit is........different." If you don't have anything nice to say, then shut the f*** up! JEEZ!
ReplyDeleteOuu I just swatched this color & I like it even more with gold glitter!
