Chanel Vendetta & Zoya Cosmo

I own a small number of high end polishes, and Chanel Vendetta is one of them. It was actually a gift from my father, who is well aware of my polish addiction. Would I buy this shade? Well, no, but since it is a gift, I try to enjoy it... :)

Vendetta is a very dark eggplant purple with hidden shimmer. It is really dark, most of the time, you see it as black. And the sihmmer is really well hidden, you have to be under a really bright light to see it...

But this doesn't change the fact that it has an awsome formula. Applies like butter, two coats for a creamy rich finish...

Anyway, I tried something different today. I painted my accent nail with Zoya Cosmo (love love love this one), 2 coats. For the rest of my nails, I taped the nails and stamped a design from Pueen13 with Barry M silver polish, and ended up having a chevron like pointy french.





I really tried to take nice pictures of this mani, because it looks elegant in real life, but my camera refused to cooperate with me. I guess my photo-fairies were on holiday... LOL :)

OPI Skull and Glossbones and another waterfall mani...

I still have a huge untrieds drawer in my room full of nail polish! I know it sounds tempting to dig into that drawer but for me it it a huge burden. I want to try them all, and love them and give them little kisses... You know what I mean... But reality is harsh, I only have 10 fingernails.

Anyway, long story short, I tried one from that drawer today. It is OPI Skull and Glossbones.

I don't know about you, I seem to like grey polish more each day. Skull and Glossbones is a light grey, an off-white one may say. And it looks perfect both alone and as a stamping base.

The pictures came out a little dark, sorry for that...



Anyway, with a base like that, I thought why not make another waterfall mani? So I did it, using silvers and greys....






The topcoat smudged a little bit, but that is a small flaw for such a lovley mani in my opinion... :P

What do you think???

Chanel Graphite

Hi everyone! Today I'll share an old mani with you. It is the infamous Chanel Graphite!!

I have two coats on my nails, and it covers nicely. It looks good alone, so I did not bother stamping over it, but the next time I'm using it, I'll stamp it with black...







So, what do you think?
