Today is Guy Fawkes night so I thought it would be fitting to dig out a pretty glitter nail polish
as a subtle nod to the event - no fireworks for me tonight.
I also have a pointless piece of trivia - myself and Guy Fawkes share a birthday and he died on my brother's
birthday. I did say it would be pointless, I just didn't mention that it was dull haha!
Isn't it funny how a black nail polish can completely transform the appearance of a glitter top coat?
On it's own Revlon Radiant has a definite mermaid ring to it but when applied over a black base
(once again I have went for Rococo's Black Crème) it reminds me of a night sky scattered with lots of tiny stars...I have a vivid imagination when it comes to nail polish.
I did plan on applying a different bright glitter top coat to each nail but as soon as I applied Radiant
over the black base I couldn't resist going the whole hog and applying it to all 10 nails
and I have to admit that I am rather pleased with the result.
Are you doing anything to mark Bonfire night?
Love this mani! The glitter looks so nice over the black! I'm doing nothing for bonfire night probs hear some fireworks somewhere! x

Gorgeous combo!
ReplyDeleteI may try this but with Revlons Facets Of Fuschia/Scandalous over the top instead, doubt whether it will look as pretty as yours though :/

You can't beat a good old black to layer your glitter on top off, always enhances it more I think. I'm planning on staying in and keeping an eye on the cat, she is a proper scaredy cat and hates any sort of loud noise so she really doesn't like bonfire night. I can still see the bonfire display from my house though so I still get to see all the pretty fireworks :)

This is so pretty :) The combination is so good~ Never thought that blue glitter on black would have such an effect. I have a similar nail polish to this sparkly blue one, and its BarryM :) Love a bit of sparkles for bonfire night! Thanks for sharing~xxx

Love this! The blog title made me start humming Rihanna. x
ReplyDeleteI almost picked up that polish this weekend. I may have to go back and get it.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I keep seeing this polish...it's haunting me. Clearly it wants to be part of my collection!
ReplyDeleteOhhh! So lovely! I was going to do the same with Revlon's Scandalous (which has purple glitter exactly like this) but then when I applied it I realized it already has a black(ish) base cost! SO much easier and so lovely if you're looking for a purple option without the hassle of applying black polish prior.
