THE FRUIT COMPOTE

The Good and The Forbidden

Wine-soaked Nails

November 20, 2014 Comments : 6

I had an idea of doing gradient nails where the colors are contrasting. But then, any common contrast combination won’t be that much of a fun either, don’t you think? So I thought, why not mix a nude shade with something really dark 🙂

Ingredients:
– Essie Sand Tropez (base)
– Essie Shearling Darling
– Cirque French Roast
– a kitchen sponge (hey, whatever works, right?)

As usual, paint the base first, two coats. Apply Essie Sand Tropez and Shearling Darling on the sponge, quite heavily. Dab on the nails. I added a little bit more of Shearling Darling on the tips, just to make them really dark. Then, add Cirque French Roast using the sponge on the tips. Apply top coat. I use Seche Vite (two coats) because seriously, this top coat rocks at making glitters POP!

For this look, I like it when the sponge is a little bit more wet than usual. I wanted the result to have that effect when you mix coffee and creamer. In this case, wine and cream. OK, that sounds weird though. But, you get the point.

I intentionally used Cirque French Roast, a gorgeous polish consists of different tones of brown, copper, and gold glitters. Too pretty! It’s quite subtle when it’s not under direct light. The result is almost like having a speckled espresso goodness on the bottom of the glass 🙂

BASIC SKINCARE ROUTINE

Cleanse – Hydrate – Moisturize – Protect (SPF)

Double Cleanse at night, a must!
Sunscreen at daytime, always – after moisturizer.

Exfoliate regularly, as necessary, and don’t overdo it.
Hydrating Toner must be used after Exfoliating Acid Toner to prevent dryness and irritation.

Opt for calming and soothing products more than anything else. Pick gentle cleansers. Aim for hydration and moisture. Maintain the skin barrier.

Proper hydration and balanced moisturization are key to achieving healthy skin, even if your skin is oily.

Always be gentle on the skin.
