Oh no! I'm not a happy chappy right now! This often comes as a surprise, even to people who know me really well, but I have a massive love for Formula 1, especially all things Sebastian Vettel. Well, I have just watched him retire from the Valencia Grand Prix and let's just say I am one grumpy lady!
Anyway, on to happier thoughts... Today I've got a simple mani that I have actually loved wearing for the last couple of days.
This is
'Road House Blues' from last years Touring America collection by OPI.
'Road House Blues' is a gorgeous dark indigo crème polish. I love any polish that is at all navy-like and this is certainly one of my favourite crèmes in my whole collection.
You can see in this photo that this polish is certainly not the type that just looks black. I love how inky this colour is. In any sort of bright-ish light, this polish appears very blue.
I decided I wanted to have another little go at stamping but I didn't want to entirely cover up
'Road House Blues', so I thought I'd try the double feature nails that I've seen around a bit lately. I used China Glaze
'Sci-Fi' for the stamping with plate
BM 208 (both images are on this plate). I actually just got
'Sci-Fi' recently from
Nail Polish Anon's blog sale and it's perfect for stamping, so thanks Michaela!
'Road House Blues' was easy to apply. Two simple coats with no problems at all. As I mentioned earlier
'Sci-Fi' was great for stamping and I like that it's got that purpley tinge to it, giving it a bit of difference from a plain silver polish. I did get pretty impatient and top coated way to quickly so I did smudge everything a bit, but it's really not very noticeable in real life. Overall, I really like how this turned out and I love the double feature. I think I'll definitely be sporting this sort of mani again in the near future.
One more quick thing, I have been awarded an Appreciation Award from the lovely Kelsie from
Kelsie's Nail Files! Thank you so much Kelsie!
To be honest, I have no idea what to do with this. I think I'm supposed to pass it on, but I don't think I can choose only a few blogs from the ones that I follow. Basically I love and appreciate every single blog that I follow so that's my choice! I know it's a bit of a cop-out but that's just the truth! Thanks again Kelsie :)
This is an amazing blue...I think I might need to add this to my stash! I am also loving this double feature. The color combo looks great. Very nice job. : )
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! And yes, this is a gorgeous blue! I love that it's not just a plain old navy (not that there's anything wrong with that) but it's got a bit of a purple undertone.
