A Deep and Rich Royal Purple.

Mi'lady!

I am digging this. My god I love a good purple! This is Save the Date 460 Sally Hansen Diamond Strength line. A single coat would work... but I used two for a more decadent look.

This stuff makes me want to lounge on silken cushions in lace dresses and complain about the serfs. It's that rich. Hell, it makes Mitt Romney's class statements comprehensible.

Natural light. No glitter but what a shimmer...

This is one polish I just couldn't add glitter to. Glitter would have cheapened the effect. I do know one thing... St. Patrick's or not this weekend I will match my nails in purple awesome.

Zoya's Juleanne

I randomly picked which Zoya to wear first. Juleanne was the winner.

Flash

No flash.

I LOVED the color. It was a deep dark purple-blue in most lights and had a lovely glimmer of sparkle in it. I wasn't as pleased with the wear. It seemed to wear at the tips almost from the first day. It wasn't that noticeable.. but it was there. No real chipping.. just tip wear. Color made up for that though.

Orchid Frost

A Frosted Lovely.

Yeah.. I have a bit of tip wear. I took this a few days after I'd done my nails and had no time to fix that edge.

This is an Orchid Ice look. I went with orchid purples in honor of an actual orchid plant that decided it was going to spike for me. Woo, orchid plant!

What it is:
Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Royal Romance 61
Wet N Wild Fast Dry 234c Hannah Pinktana
Pure Ice 991 Spit Fire

How it was done:
Apply a nice base of the Sally Hanson. Dry. Apply a thin single coat of the Wet N Wild stuff. Dry.
Since it was a grand total of 6 Fahrenheit outside when I did these I was thinking chilly...so I did a frost effect with the glitter. Get a nice gob of your glitter and while thinking 'frost on the windows' dab it gently along the tip of your nail and pull it up one side. Repeat on each nail, 'frosting' the same side on all ten for a window effect. Top coat it.
