There are so many amazing foil-y metallic colors out there that one day I wondered if there was something in black that would be similar. To that end, I wondered what would happen if I layered black jelly over a very sparkly silver. Here's what happened...
For this mani, I chose Sally Hansen CSM Starry, Starry Flight for my silver. It has fine milled silver glitter that is extrememly sparkly in real life. I was wearing two coats in the first picture without any topcoat. I would imagine it would be even more sparkly with a top coat. For the black jelly, I made it using clear and Essie Licorice.
For what I wanted to acheive, I'm not sure I did it. What I had in my head did not look like this. I still think it's pretty though. I've included a couple of phone pictures that I took at work to show what it looks like in sunlight and under a focused indoor light. I think I like the last picture best.
