Life Is Like A Box Of Chocolates...

"....You never know what you're gonna get."  Here's another little Valentine's Day mani...just a little simple morsel inspired by a typical lover's day gift: a box of chocolates...my favorites, the chocolate-covered cherries.  For this fairly plain look, i used a fabulously rich (almost red-toned) milk chocolate shimmer from Revlon's New ColorStay line, called "French Roast".  It dries much darker on the nail, but what I love is the subtle rose-gold & blue shimmer in it.  I have OPI Nail Envy as a my base coat right now.  Next I layered 3 coats of the Revlon.  Then, I used a fine tipped paint brush to do little red hearts on the outer tips with Essie "Forever Yummy"...its a perfect red.  Lastly, topped it all off with some Seche Vite! I highly suggest you get this new brown Revlon....like having freshly roasted coffee beans on your fingertips :)  

Revlon "French Roast" & Essie "Forever Yummy"

had to use my left hand to swatch today because my right hand (normal swatch hand) has a broken/uneven 'flipping off' fingernail ;) I'm a left-handed girl, so painting with my right is slightly less steady

(this is natural lighting, indoors)

Direct sunlight, sunrise to be exact

 Took a picture of the Essie next to my dad's '66 Red Ford Truck :)

Now get out there & get yourself this luscious café color! I'm really liking the quality of the ColorStay line and I think you will be pleased with it as well! Happy V-Day lovers!
