I have shown you colors and glitters for weeks now but in my professional life I am in the need of a more discreet mani every once in a while. This week I will show you my favorite neutral shades for this spring.
Let's start with a stunner: Cult Nails Let's Get Dirty might appear like the odd ball out of the In the Garden Collection - but just until you have it on your nails. It can either be a super classy neutral with an edge or the perfect canvas for doing dotticures, stripes and more with the other colors of this collection. I have comparing photos of Let's Get Dirty with wax finish and with Essence Better Than Gel Nails Top Coat.
I applied two effortless coats over Essence XXL Nail Thickener. I have read on some Blogs that the consistency was on the thick side but my bottle is just perfect, it covers nice and even though a light hand for application is recommendable. Dry time is fabulous and the wax finish gives it just such a cool edge.
Which version do you like better? The wax finish or when used with a Top Coat?
I ordered Cult Nails Let's Get Dirty through their own website here.
I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

Hi pet! WOW!! This polish look great! What an unusual shade!! It's nude, beige and purple at the same time! I love it! And as usual I love it with a top coat ;) I sure like my polishes glossy! ;) Even though texture and rubber finishes are fun, glossy is the best! :D Viele Küsschen! xx
ReplyDeletePS. There is no rush but I'm impatiently waiting for your e-mail ;)
Hi love, OMG where did Monday go??? It disappeared into thin air - I bow my head ashamedly :-(!!! It is just that I want to tell you so much that it does not fit into comments ;-)!!! Thank you so much - I admittedly love the wax finish a lot on this, the nails look sooo sophisticated with it but then the shine adds a whole new dimension to it.... You see I cannot decide!!! I think you would do some wonderful nailart with it - I am experimenting with a dotticure using the bright shades of this collection ;-) - viele Küsschen xxx
DeleteI love this kind of shades! It looks amazing on you!

DeleteOkay, I always say I need to try some of hese Cult polishes, but I seriously NEEEEED this one! I love it with the glossy topcoat, sis, your second photo is just delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteHi sis - thank youuuu <3!!! I am sure you would make an awesome Cultie ;-)!!! I can just see Let's Get Dirty on your nails - it would be totally stunning and with top coat it gains some transluscent feel that is not visible with the wax finish - oh but then I guess you will see for yourself ;-) - have a wonderful day xxx
DeleteSo chic Christine! I'm totally in for this looking matte, it gives it an extra chicness, lol!
ReplyDeleteIt's quite an unique shade I don't think I have anything similar in my stash. As usual, unique and stunning, that's Christine's signature!
