This was one of those manicures that never seemed satisfactory or finished, and ended up being one huge big fat FAIL! It started off beautifully with Julep's Jodie and Felicity. They are gorgeous and I should have just left them be the stars of their own show...have a look for yourself...
Jodie is a Berry color with gold shimmer, it is opaque in almost one coat, but I always apply two. Felicity is a Gold Chrome and also is almost opaque in one coat, however I applied two.
These colors go very well together, and now looking back at these pictures I should have maybe done some stamping with Jodie over Felicity, but NOPE... I had to ruin it by doing a saran technique (if you have a weak stomach or get squeamish by horrific sights, look away now)...
I thought maybe it might photograph better with the flash on...
But it's still ugly!! I then tried to cover up the mess with Orly Flash Glam So-Go-Diva, which is a coppery brown chunky glitter which just made everything worse... I won't even offend you all by posting a picture... it is a great polish and I hope to try it over a Robin's egg blue in the very near future.
Julep makes the best polishes and I should have known better to try and get all fancy with them! I feel incredibly awful that I created such a mess with these polishes... I should be sent to Maven jail for committing such a horrendous nail polish crime... look at them, they look so innocent and sweet...
