Hello
there lovely readers,
When
it comes to nails as much as I adore all the colors under the sun,
there are occasions when one desires to keep things simple &
classic, whilst adding my own little twist naturally & one of my
favourite ways of keeping things such is with a gorgeous glossy
burgundy mani, which is what I've been rocking quite frequently of
late.
During
a meeting at work the other week I noticed one of our clients had
clearly recently paid a nail salon a visit & was sporting a
gorgeous deep wine red glossy shellac mani. For someone who regularly
changes their polish, shellac is not for me, up to 3 weeks of the
same colour... *cue palpitations at the thought* I do however own
many burgundy wine tones, would I say too many? NEVER. Ungh I just
can't get enough of them! And so I rushed home & dug out the
nearest which happened to be Nails Inc Chester Square...
Chester
Square is exactly what I required to satisfy my mani needs, a dark,
vampy, juicy wine red shade I almost have to stop myself from
swooning & drooling during application I love it THAT much...what
can I say, I get all kinds of emotional over polish...you KNOW this
about me.
Application
was lovely & smooth, two coats applied leaving a gorgeously
glossy finish. Absolutely divine all by its onesie but you know I do
like adding a little extra something something, in this instance I
was feeling Tudor-esque Gothic vibes clearly...
My
current Netflix addiction is Reign, a drama series telling the tale
of Mary Queen of Scots. At first I didn't think much of it as whilst
I adore anything historical, (The Tudors...now wasn't that a treat
for the eyes that has nothing whatsoever to do with the presence of
one Henry Cavill...O_O)
I
didn't really like the modern twists i.e costumes, music tracks etc
but it slowly grew on me & now I'm completely HOOKED! Anyhoos, I
always associate rich jewel tones & Gothic cross emblems with
that era, so incorporated those vibes into this mani.
I
applied a square gold stud to the centre of each nail, then added
some small dots of red glitter to resemble a cross design using a
simple dotting tool, one on each side of the stone & continuing
down horizontally until you reach the tip. Easy peasy.
A
slick of topcoat to seal the design & add even more shine &
you're done, a lovely classic mani with a gothic twist :) I am
satisfied.
Thanks
as always for reading! Till next time!
