I wanted to share this simple look. Lately I've been getting into glitter. Even though it's difficult to remove, I've been cutting my cotton pad into pieces and leaving the piece on the finger with glitter for a longer time. It makes removing it easier. It's still stuck but not as bad as before. Also, because my layer of glitter is pretty thin, it makes it easier.
Today I have Essie's Ballet Slippers. I went to the L'Oreal Warehouse sale but this was not available. I tried looking at all the natural/milk colours available and none of them were Ballet Slippers. My curiosity for Ballet Slippers is pretty random. The first reason is because I wanted to find the perfect cream pink shade. The second is because Essie Weingarten of Essie always talks about Ballet Slippers. I think I watched somewhere that she usually wears Ballet Slippers with Mademoiselle on her nails. I mean her mentioning it a few interviews kind of had Ballet Slippers stuck in my head.
I wore it with A-England She Walks in Beauty on the accent. I feel like this pairing is really nice. Although I did not do it on purpose, I also feel like this can be a bridal look. It's subtle with a little accent. I did a thin coat of She Walks in Beauty, and I think it really looks very pretty like this. I received compliments for this look and my boss even pointed out that she basically liked the base colour more than my glitter accent.
Thoughts
Ballet Slippers is pretty sheer. To get it to be even and opaque, I used three thin coats. I has a very pretty finish, kind of like a jelly-like finish. I'm not used to having such light polish on my fingers and maybe this week I was extra rough because I could see the scratches on my nail polish (scratches from my daily activities I guess). With Seche Vite, this started chipping by fourth day. Which isn't bad.
During the week, even though I had She Walks in Beauty as my accent, I did imagine other glitter combinations with Ballet Slippers. I really like how this looked on my nails. I think next time, I will wait longer in between coats.
