NOTD - Lacy French Manicure

Hello lovelies!

I have a new NOTD post to show you, here's the manicure I was wearing last week. I meant to share it earlier but things have been a little busy; but hey, better late than never, right?

This is Ozotic 745 (I bought this from piCture pOlish), worn over white polish as a base. It's a really unique polish as it has a special effect known as a 'colour flop' (I got that special terminology off the website). It's basically a shimmery pink that changes colour to gold with lighting, and also looks completely different when applied on its own, over white polish and over black polish. It's such a pretty shade, I can never decide what colour I'm looking at, as it sometimes even reflects back as silver (talk about indecisive?)!

I tried to take photos in different light conditions to give you an idea.

Artificial 'day' lighting.

With flash.

Under fluorescent lighting.

In direct sunlight.

See what I mean about reflecting silver?

After a day, I decided to add scalloped black polish over the tips and also traced a line of white before adding another line of black. I quite loved the effect, it really dressed it up a bit.

I hope you liked that, lovelies!

I'm off to bed now as I'm absolutely exhausted! Stay tuned as I have a fashion show-themed post and another Illamasqua makeover (plus purchases) post to share soon!


Much love,
MM.
