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?
Very nice patchwork design!
ReplyDeleteLove the nail art and that's the colors I have on my pedicure now, purple :)
ReplyDeleteI love purple polishes - it's a fave for my pedis, too, especially darker ones coming into Fall.
DeleteWhat a pretty mix of purples!
ReplyDeleteI bought these all together - I love it when a brand puts out complementary colors that just make me want to do a mani with them all.
DeleteLove this design--the purples are so pretty together.
ReplyDeletesometimes, the best complement for purple.. is another purple! lol
DeleteCute design and I love the Carpe Noctem shades <3
ReplyDeletethanks! They are really pretty colors - and complex, too, with the shimmer, and shift and holos.

ReplyDeleteThanks! Carpe Noctem did a great job with these. They're so different, but I love how they go together.
DeleteLove this combo! Purple looks great on your skintone!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I do favor the jeweled tones.
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?
Deleteyayyyy! #allthepurples!
ReplyDeleteI love purple. I love blue. I love green... so many colors I wasn't allowed to wear as a kid. All mainstream now! I can't get enough.
DeleteI love this! The middle purple is my fave!
ReplyDeleteThe radiant orchid one? It's a stunner.. as it says, it's a BIG F'in Deal! lol
