However, this is such a beautiful mani, I still wanted to share it with you:
I applied one (thick) coat of Wing Dust Blue Steel over two coats of Opi Eurso Euro.
Wing Dust Blue Steel is very easy to apply, however the bigger holographic shards could not be convinced to be placed on all nails - however, this gives this mani a random look that I really liked.
I am currently tremendously hooked to mattified glitters - so guess what's coming now:
the above picture is taken indoors in daylight, the below photo outdoors in the shade
I simply put on one coat of Essie Matte About You - and frankly, I am smitten with the result.
And because Opi Eurso Euro is such a beautiful polish here a picture taken before applying Wing Dust Blue Steel
I ordered Wing Dust Blue Steel with Llarowe and Opi Eurso Euro from Nail Etc.
I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

I LOVE that mattified!You can see all the details in those iridescent flakes. Gorgeous Christine!
ReplyDeleteHi Becca, I am glad you like it as much as I do - Blue Steel comes so much more to life when no distraction - aka shine - makes the holo shards pop!!!
DeleteNow that I used the matte top coat on the black yesterday, I want to try it more. I have only used that once and got it quite a while ago. This is so pretty - I love blue!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Essie, thank you <3!!! This mattified black was so gorgeous on you!!! Mattifying glitter is my way of making most glitters "office-friendly", not that I would have any restrictions but at times I find it not helpful if people ogle my nails instead of listening to what I say - I am sure you experience this ALWAYS!!! - Love xxx
DeleteHi pet! I LOOOOOVE the mani as matte!!! The glitter really pops out! The blue base is adorable! It really suits you dear! :D Have a great evening! Viele Küsschen!! xxx
ReplyDeleteHi cupcake - thank you love - I think the mattified version is the bomb. Sometimes I wonder about myself, why I tended to forget about my matte Top Coat (shake head in disbelief)!!! I wish you a wonderful day - viele Küsschen
DeleteThis looks ridiculously cool mattified. Either way, your mani is gorgeous and you know I adore Eurso Euro right along with you ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Liesl, I know you're my ally in this!!! Even I was stunned by the result - I did have an idea that the mattified version would rock but this surprised myself ;-)!!!
DeleteThe mattified version is sooo pretty!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ina - thank you hon xxx
DeleteIt looks fantastic mattified! That really seems to bring the focus to the flakies against the blue. :-)

Hi Yun, thank you so much - I think the incredible base color of Eurso Euro really complements Blue Steel and when mattified does not turn flat - Christine
DeleteI love this mani on you so much! specially the matte version, it makes it more sophisticated and chic. Always stunning, my dearest Christine.
ReplyDeleteSalut ma chère Nati, thank you so much, it really was knocking me out of my socks once I saw it matte. How can it be, that I just repeatedly forget about the matte top coat??? I feels each time like an epiphany when I come up with "oh I could use a MATTE top coat" ;-) - bisous
