RIMMEL
800 blackout
&
SALLY HANSEN
diamond shine base & top coat
&
CHANEL
precut logos
at the moment im testing out the boundaries - in terms of both the borderline between tacky/ghetto fab and classy and also in terms of experimenting with foils and 3d nailart, something id previously not considered as i tend to stick to creme nail colours. so watch out, those posts are soon to come.
in light of my experimentation i am proud to present the chanel mani. this is two coats of rimmels blackout, ive had this paricular pot for years now and the formula is still going strong, isnt gloopy and applies well, more than i can say for the barry m and 17 brand black paints that i also own. the brush is also idealy proportioned. after these dried i applied a thin coat of the best top coat around. this topcoat will fix any smudges or skeedle in your previous coats. its also touch dry in next to no time! before this was dry i used a pair of point tweezers to pick up a chanel logo, position and drop it onto each nail. after about 15 minutes i applied another coat of sally hansen, over the chanel logo to secure it.
i love the effect - pretty much the only bit of chanel i can afford!
