Silver, Max Factor - Fantasy Fire & Silver Studs

I decided to dig out another polish I hadn't used in years. I got this as part of a pack for a Christmas, maybe last year, or year before. And I felt it had been a while since I wore studs, so I decided to pull out some silver ones.

This is a very pretty silver, metallic fleck polish by Scarlett & Crimson which is the teen line of products by Ruby & Millie. For this mani I used two coats of silver, one coat of Max Factor - Fantasy Fire, and then added some studs.

Here's a better shot of Max Factor - Fantasy Fire over the silver.

It was after taking these photos I remembered I have a close up/crop type action on my camera, so next time I need to capture some sparkle, I'm going to try that out and see how it works :] Here is the silver on its own:

And here's a close up to see the pretty flecks:

 

I hope everyone's having a good Tuesday. I'm seeing The Dark Night Rises today :] so I'm excited!

Models Own - Utopia, Pink Striping Tape & Pearls

When I picked up Utopia, I decided to use a pearly blue top coat as well, it didn't really show up too well in photos but you do catch a peek of it at times. The pearly blue colour is a Scarlett & Crimson polish from a set I got a few years back, I can't remember; but I think Scarlett & Crimson is a line produced by Ruby & Millie.

Base Coat: Nail RX - Stuck On You
Base Colour: Models Own - Utopia
Pink Striping Tape & Pearls
Top Coat: China Glaze - No Chip Top Coat

 

With a flash as it was pitch black outside :] The blue shimmer polish gives Utopia a bit of a sheer shimmer, I like it :]

I always forget how much I love striping tape on top of a creme polish. It's a shiny awesomeness that will never be achieved with polish. I think I'll have to use it more. These were fun to wear, but honestly I only picked up the pearls because I hadn't used them at all since I bought them, months and months ago.
