Today I am wearing one of the polishes I won on IG art contest held for 'Ard As Nails anniversary. My prize was gift card that got me 10 of 'Ard As Nails polishes. Because they are based in England, and were not able to send the polishes to the private person, they got together with Victoria from NailStuff.ca who is also selling their polishes, to send me my prize.
I already had few manicures ready using my new polishes, and this is one of them
I am wearing 'Ard As Nails - Cadillac.
Above you can see the swatch of the Cadillac. We are talking shocking pink with silver micro flakes, and it is perfect polish from I Love 80' collection
Considering that my late teen years were fully lived in that era, I can vouch that this is something that would remind me of it for sure. I am very sure that I had a sweater in this color, and silver in this polish reminded me of the "frosted" pink lipstick that was all the rage at the time. I will not have to tell you that lipstick looked horrid on me, and I would skip on it, but did not mind intense, searingly bright neon colored clothing items.
This polish was fully opaque in one coat, without the white under layer. I am wearing 2 coats plus top coat.
I decided to go with the design that reminded me of the era, and for that I used Finger Angel - XL12 stamping plate. Bright blue and pink were the colors of my favorite summer set, and I just added little bit of silver and deep purple.
Stamping polishes used were by Hit the Bottle - Smurf blood, and Clear Jelly Stamper - 16 Shiraz and 42 Liquid Alloy.
Loved this so much, I wore it to work for few days.
There is nothing that would lift up my mood like a bright color, and this one was awesome. It was slightly deeper in person, but we already know that my camera is intimidated with bright colors.
I am wishing you amazing day.
Cheers!
