33DC2013 Day 8 - Chevrons

After the debacle that was last Monday, I give you chevrons today! From one extreme to the next, I absolutely adored how this turned out. Credit goes to the lovely glitter topper I used and it's tinted jelly base.

For this mani I used two lovely NYC polishes:

• NYC - 325 Raindrop
• NYC - 032 Party time blue

Let's take a closer look at Party time blue:

This glitter topper has red and silver micro glitters and larger blue hexagons. This is all suspended in a blue jelly base, even though you can't tell from the bottle shot. Good thing I opened the bottle in the shop to look at it (I tend to so I can inspect the density), I might not have bought it otherwise! The blue jelly base makes this special, it does not look so very red on the nail at all.

I created the chevrons with crafting scissors and scotch tape. I just wish it would not tear that easily.

Just look at the blue glitter! Isn't it amazing? And it goes so lovely with Raindrop as well. I love this combination! The glitter went on smoothly, but I did move some of the larger hexes around, otherwise they'd insist on sticking to the tape part and not on the part of the nail I wanted to cover in glitter *winks*.

I did catch myself admiring my nails during work, which means I do love how this turned out. And I got a few compliments here and there as well *smiles*. I hope you enjoyed it and feel the urge to own Party time blue!
