Hello lacquered ladies!
So, I realized a long time ago, I have a thing for purples. If there is just a slight variation of one purple to another, I have to have it. How thrilled was I when I realized that something as complex and fascinating and just plain pretty as Spoiled Are Mermaids Real? was available easily in any CVS store!
It is a medium purple jelly base with a complex fine gold shimmer. This combination gives this polish such a depth! Despite the jelly base, I didn't need more than a couple of coats for decent coverage. Because of the jelly finish, I did have some pulling at the tips after topcoat, which you can see above.
The dots at the tips were done with a large and small dotting tool and the colors used were Sinful Colors Tempest and Revlon Copper Penny
And now for more pictures....
I like these jelly colors with the shift in the depth of the color depending on which angle you view it at.
Here is a picture of it without the dots in a lightbox.
Are you guys as much a fan of purple as I am? I thought the dots added visual interest and I really like it with them. Hubby wasn't so sure. This one got a 8/10 without the dots but dropped to a 7/10 with them. I guess he liked the simplicity of a plain mani!
