Coupla random color combos

Here are two quick mani's I've been meaning to post:

The first combo here is China Glaze Grape Pop with two coats of Clarins 230 overtop. I think Grape Pop is just the right amount of bright for Clarins. Just check out the next two photos, they're both the same mani under different lighting/angles. Love!

Here's another angle, can you even believe it's the same mani?

The 2nd mani I wanted to show off is from a mini set of polishes I picked up at Sally's. The package says it's Color Club Winter Affair scented polish, but they are all un-named. It came with four colors, a blue, red and green with a multi colored flakie. Looking online, the flakie is called Snow-Flakes. What a great name!

Thanks for looking!

Sonia Kashuk: Taunting Teal + Clairins 230

Oh yeah, this combo is just as cool as you imagine it would be after reading the name of this post. These two polishes look amazing together! Clarins gives the teal a nice purple tone and the shimmer is TDF. Ever since I got the color morphing powder "red to green" I've been meaning to try and re-franken Clarins....I'll have to do that soon!

Check out these two colors together:

Clarins 230 over Eleese purple

I never cease to me mesmerized by Clarins 230. I always want to try it over different base colors. Today, I decided to swatch it over Eleese purple. Eleese is a brand I've never seen before and since I found this little bottle tucked away in a dusty a while back. It doesn't have a name on the bottle, it's a dark purple jelly (bordering on black) which makes it a great base color for layering. For some reason it doesn't fit my vampy-color-looks-black pet peeve.

These are the bottles:


and here it is swatched. I think they go really well together.

The most amazing Clarins 230 combo ever!

So, I came across this mani on The PolishAholic's blog and I just had to try it myself. What a great color combo she came up with!!

The base is 3 coats of Revlon Top Speed in Royal, one coat of Clarins 230 and one coat of NYC#203 top coat. Royal shows off Clarin's many colors so beautifully, they were meant to be worn together! Make sure to click the picks to enlarge them.
