Hi lovelies,
I recently picked up this gorgeous polish called Vintage Violet from Barry M, and it's completely captured my heart!
Vintage Violet is what I would call a smokey, blackened violet creme, and it's such uniquely gorgeous shade that would fit a lot of skintones.

As much as I loved it on its own, though, I was struck with an idea of exploring what it looked like as an undercoat, with a holographic shade stamped on top using the cling wrap technique (
my tutorial here, its a bit cringeworthy because it's from my early blogging years, but you should get the idea).
I used a pink shade with a blue shift from Hit The Bottle polishes and really liked how it turned out!

What do you think of this mani, lovelies? I think it has a look that reminds me somewhat of Mother of Pearl. Vintage Violet is available for about $8 from Big W stores, if you need to know where to find it.
Much love,
MM.
