The BATTLE #7: Geometric vs Flora

Pin It

Ok, I've enjoyed an almost  3 month hiatus on The BATTLE Nail Art Challenge, but here I am with Challenge 7. I chose to go Geometric with this one, I hope this stamping counts!

Geometric Nail Art

I started with a base of Maybelline My Varnish in 357 (I think, the labelling was confusing) and stamped on this neat pattern of BM 319 using Jade Vermelho Surreal. I was trying to get the complimentary red to show up in the holo stamp, but it's not really noticeable. I topped this mani off with a layer of Seche Vite.

I love subtle stamping, especially with vampy reds!!

I'm going to try to knock out a couple more of the BATTLE challenges over the next month, maybe catch up to everyone else?!

Revlon Devil's Lure

Pin It

Eeeww just another manic Monday!

I have some fairly horrible photos of Revlon's Devil's Lure from the Masquerade Collection released for Fall 2011 for you today.

I delayed taking photos of this mani so by the time I got my camera out it was a bit scratched looking and the sun wouldn't cooperate, so they're just sort of blah...

Revlon Devil's Lure

I must have used the flash for the first shot, but God knows why! Possibly my most horrendous swatches ever.

Devil's Lure is a deep dark vampy wine red jelly. Apparently there are ultra subtle silver flecks in it but I could not for the life of me see them. Sometimes I thought I did, only to discover it was a piece of fluff or a speck of dust instead, haha. It's a horribly uneven polish. You can't leave it at 2 coats to save yourself because it's all over the show. This was 3 or possibly 4 and in person it still wasn't entirely even.

 I adore the colour though! So gory!!!! It can look pretty black in low light.

So sorry for this... I'll try harder to impress tomorrow
