I love grey polishes, I have a few different shades, but all I think are cremes so this shimmery grey was very, very welcome in my collection. This one is also special in the fact that, in the right light, there a subtle blue/green and possibly pink micro shimmer to it.
I previously showed you this polish as part of a tape mani with Excalibur but here is the wonderful King Arthur without his sword to accompany him, and you can see he does very well holding his own ground.
This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of King Arthur and 1 of the Shield.
Then I decided to add a coat of Nails Inc Sloane Square, this is one of Nails Incs '3D Glitters', I do love this glitter (I love most glitter to be honest), this one has a clear base with small dark grey glitter particles and also larger holographic particles. It can be layered to wear alone but I prefer layering it over a colour, and I figured King Arthur would make a good match with this one.......and I was right, I am very happy with the resulting mani, and we even got a small bit of sun today to see the holo particles properly.
This is the above mani with 1 coat of Sloane Square and 1 coat of the Shield which gave this very gritty glitter an almost smooth finish, another coat of top coat would have made it completely smooth I would imagine but I was happy with the slightly textured finish from just the one coat.
And I have one more picture you for all today, I was trying to write this post last night and the laptop wasn't being very co-operative and I also had the cutest face telling me it was past my bedtime. This is my baby girl, Pandora, the namesake for my blog, so I suppose it is only right she has her picture here somewhere.
Hope you liked this combo, and my kitty, and feel free to leave a comment :D xx
