Carpe Noctem Purple Patchwork
Hello, Fireflies!
Can every month be geometric manis month? I love all the different interpretations of this theme. I found this nail art on Chickettes that I thought was so much fun, and decided to do my own version with some Carpe Noctem Cosmetics polishes.
Carpe Noctem Sapphire Abyss made my camera cry. I know it looks like I covered my camera lens in Vaseline, a la Cybill Shepherd's Moonlighting days (Google it, young'uns!) but I didn't. It's just so soft and shiny; it's so beautiful.
I applied some tape strips and did some freehand to make this patchwork of purples. The light, orchid color is Carpe Noctem I'm A BIG F*cking Deal and the eggplant is Carpe Noctem Interstellar Towel.
I love how the white dots just make the whole mani look sharper and more defined. Except for that whole Vaseline thing. Maybe it's time for a new camera?
I love how they're all purple, but so different!
Bottle shot: Carpe Noctem Sapphire Abyss, I'm A BIG F*cking Deal, and Interstellar Towel, and Sally Hansen White Tip.
Kinda makes me want to do an eyeshadow look with colors like these. Would you?

DeleteI love this - the base color is so pretty. And yes, I totally remember those Moonlighting days!
ReplyDeleteDon't you sometimes wish life had a Vaseline filter? lol. She was so pretty and totally didn't need that filter, but it sure was a part of that character.
DeleteI love those purples!
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason Radiant Orchid has been so big this year! Purples are awesome.
DeleteBack when I was 18 those are the type of colors I use as eyeshadow almost everyday, you should create something I'm sure it will be super
ReplyDeleteWhen you were 18, I was... probably in my something something year of being 29, right?
