Twinsie Tuesday and Day 3 of Black and White Week. Instead of posting twice today, I thought I'd try to kill two birds with one stone.
Today's TT is pretty cool: What's Your Sign? As June baby, I am a proud and crazy Gemini. While I'm not an adherent by any means to astrology, I like that my star sign is that of twins, a duality of personalities...or as my family puts it, crazy.
To represent the opposing twin nature, I chose to layer Maybelline Clearly Spotted over my new favorite nude creme, Sally Hansen Stocking Nude from the Rodarte designer collaboration collection. When I saw Iris from Polish Amor create a similar mani on Instagram, I knew I had to try my own version (the colors are identical, we just used different polishes to achieve the same effect). I thought the black and white matte glitter look over the nude base would be a good, albeit abstract, representation of the yin and yang in the Gemini nature.
Let me just say that I looooved this mani and was so sad to have to take it off at the end of two days. Iris really came up with a clever layering combo that I'm so happy I was able to recreate.

Haha duality, or as your fam calls it - crazy! Lol theyre so lucky to see our true sides. I'm a cancer and my fam will confirm that cancers are crabby!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice combo!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I don't think I've seen this combo before, but it is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny the traits that do ring true with the horoscope, although I still just think it's nonsense that just colors our personality.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteI was also surprised at how much I liked this. It's so simple in theory but I don't think I'd every think to layer black and white over nude.
ReplyDeletethat is so pretty! Seriously black and white glitter was made for a nude base. Perfect combo!
ReplyDeleteI agree! It's so subtle but perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great combo! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cordia!
ReplyDeleteLOVING the combo! Subtle and appealing!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteI love this layering (sorta reminds me of ice cream...everything comes back to food with me ;) I love Geminis...one of my sons is one and so is my Dad!
ReplyDeleteLol @ the food! And yup, Geminis are good people!
ReplyDeleteLove this mani! It makes me think of cookies and cream.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love this! Gorgeous pairing, and I'm still crazy about this nude on you. And black and white glitter is always a yay! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous and I already have spotted. I must go find Stocking Nude before it's gone.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful combo!
ReplyDeleteLove this! You can never go wrong with black and white glitter, and it's a great way to represent us crazy Geminis. ;)
ReplyDeleteLol! Now I want ice cream too.
ReplyDeleteI love this look. Clearly Spotted has become one of my favorite additions to my nail stash. It really gives your nails a touch of 'wow.'
ReplyDeleteBeautifully put!
ReplyDeletegreat combo! Now I want to try black and white over a nude.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should!
ReplyDeleteI'm head over heels about this nude too!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely must!
ReplyDeleteThanks, lady!
ReplyDeleteLol! Yes, Geminis are definitely the most crazy of the astrological world.
ReplyDeleteThis combination is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese are definitely GORGEOUS together! I love this combo!!
