What I used:
ESSIE 1 Blanc
P2 030 Sweet Darling
Oh, and when we're already talking about the p2 polish, there's something else I wanted to show you. Remember that I said I wasn't sure whether there was a big difference between the p2 Sweet Darling and the Barry M Berry? Well I put the nail polishes on some display sticks and also tried a third purple nail polish in order to compare them and here's the result:
What do you think of the differences? In my eyes they are quite different shades as what I wanted is a lovely lavender colour with more blue than red percentage which I found with the p2 nail polish. The Barry M is a lovely pastel, too but it comes closer to pink than to purple. The Youstar nail polish is a bit too dark to be a pastel even if it looks much lighter in the bottle. All in all the p2 is definitely my favourite! Which is yours? And what do you think of today's manicure?
Really like the idea of a reverse french manicure, the lilac hue you've used it so pretty an subtly sweet!

That is quite a difference between the shades, I wouldn't class them the same - similar, but not the same.
ReplyDeleteI love the reverse manicure - I wasn't sure how it would turn out when I read but when I saw the pictures I loved it!
