"....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!
This is such a great combo. Love the hearts ;0).
