Monday Mani

I always start any manicure with a base coat, to prevent my nails from staining and yellowing. I am currently using Revlon’s Quick Dry Base Coat, which seems to do the job well, plus it does live up to the claim of drying quickly. This always makes painting my nails, that little bit quicker, perfect for anyone who is inpatient. Buried in a Ciate Caviar Manicure kit I have, I found a mini size of Knickerbockerglory, which is shade 012. This is a lovely bright fushia colour. I have applied two coats of this over my single coat of the Revlon base. Once that dried I applied No7’s Stay Perfect Nail Colour in Daisy Darling. This is pink glitter within a clear polish, so is perfect as a top coat. I starting by applying this to my accent nails, but then decided to do the other 8 nails, for a sparkly look. I did find that I needed a couple of coats of this to provide a decent amount of glitter. Once this had dried, I used my beloved Seche Vite top coat, which again is super quick at drying at gives the nails a gel look and finish. I have noticed some slight chipping already from the Ciate polish, which is disappointing, as this is the first time I have used this polish, without the caviar over the top But overall I love the sparkly look to my nails. 

What are you wearing on your nails today?
