One week of possibilities : Essie Lapis of Luxury Day 4 OPI White Shatter

I'm pretty sure you all know by now why I haven't posted yesterday but in case you don't : Blogger has been down for 24 hours, it was on "read-only" mode so I couldn't post or publish comments. It's all fixed now, apart from Wednesday's post (Day 3 Golden Rose Scale Effect 01), which has been deleted and I hope will be back online very soon... Otherwise, I'll just have to do it all over again.

I have decided to experiment a little bit this week. I chose a nail polish, Essie Lapis of Luxury and I'll try and use it to post a different combo each day until sunday.

Today I have a little twist using OPI White Shatter. (You can still read the whole Shatter Colletion review here).

I wanted to give this mani a "vintage look" with a kind of patina effect, the paint you can find on old painted furniture. Lapis of Luxury is perfect in this case because if you apply a thin coat, it'll be sheer but even.

I used :

two coats of Lapis of Luxury,

one coat of White Shatter

and another coat of Lapis of Luxury

Overall :

I'm in love with this manicure, the White Shatter doesn't clash with Lapis of Luxury. The last coat of blue fills all the cracks, not only those where the polish Shatters but also the small uneven ridges in the white polish itself and gives a very subtle look.
