Once again #TheLacquerRing is back. We're a day late and its totally my fault. The internet was down at my apartment and I couldn't post or send out the code. Thankfully the girls are sweet and understanding. Good thing they are awesome and willing to wait on me.
I was inspired by (ok copied really closely) a look that Cirque put up for their #manimonday look a few weeks ago. I know I own like almost every Cirque made, but strangely I do not own these two colors...but I have similar ones!!!
I'll show you the look first and then my base on its own. The color choice for this week picked by Amanda of Mae's Beauty is Cobalt Blue. It just so happens that Fross of Lacquer Me Silly gifted me a beautiful cobalt blue Kiko #265 so I'm debuting it here today.
My base is KBShimmer In Bare Form. This is the perfect nude holo. It's scary close to my skin tone but has beautiful linear rainbows! This is 3 thin coats which was necessary because the polish is a little sheer.
And there you have it. My cobalt manicure. Be sure to check out the other cobalt mani's below!! I always love seeing the different things we all do!
Wow, this is neat :) I love cobalt blue!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great color.
DeleteLovely mani! Bare Form looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I was loving it!
DeleteI never thought I'd like a nude holo before, but this one is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I wasn't sure how I'd feel, but obviously it was love.
DeleteWhat an interesting concept, I love it! And both colors are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI can't take credit for the concept as I was totally inspired.
DeleteBig fan of most KB shimmers...this one is really pretty! And good with your skin tone!
ReplyDeleteThanks. KBS is one of my fave indies out there.
DeleteVery nice, quick option for nail art!
ReplyDeleteRight. It was so simple to do. And you don't have to be clean...total bonus.
DeleteThis is really cool! And that blue compliments the neutral so nicely!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great idea, I just copied it. ;-)
DeleteAh, KBShimmer...my latest love! This is such a pretty nude and it works beautifully with the cobalt blue. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteOf course I like the Kiko, but you know where my heart lies when it comes to KBShimmer. Damn it looks gorgeous on you!
ReplyDeleteYeah. Kristy makes bomb polishes.
DeleteI read this this morning from Pinterest, and then I find that you're also in my commenting group! I LOVE this mani, it's such a perfect amount of different :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Funny how those things come together. I wonder who pinned it?
DeleteThis mani made me do a serious double take, I love it! That nude base from Kb Shimmer is gorgeous as well!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I'm glad I could inspire double takes.
DeleteGorgeous design! I haven't tried this type yet - yours makes me want to change that now!
ReplyDeleteIt was so easy and gives such a statement. You should totally try it.
DeleteI've been lusting after that KB Shimmer forever. It's so pretty on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Better snatch it up while you can.
DeleteSo pretty! I love the color combo. Is that a type of dry brush technique?
ReplyDeleteYup...I just wiped most of the polish off the brush and swiped it on.
DeleteNude holo...looking classy.
ReplyDeletelol thanks!
