Color Club ~ Red Velvet ~ with splatter

Color Club ~ Red Velvet

Black base with red flecks

A girl can never have too many Color Club nail polishes in my opinion. I don’t quite know how many I’ve got, so let’s just say I’ve got a number of them. :D

Red velvet is one of those polishes I just knew I had to have when I saw it. Dark, vampy, delicious!

The formula is great – it is a Color Club after all, and the mani was opaque in two easy coats. It dried up a little bit funny – not gritty as such or bumpy, but it didn’t look smooth either. I didn’t care though; any top coat can solve that little problem.

Here’s the pic, no top coat:

I wish that the red colour was a bit more prominent than it actually is. I would certainly have given it a coat of something sparkly, if it wasn’t for the fact that I had other plans for this mani. I was going out to an event where the theme was something with vampires, so I wanted to spice it up a little bit. I can’t draw though, so I went for stamping. I used Konad stamping plate M21 and Konad’s white stamping polish. I placed the stamp randomly on each nail. Here’s that step:

And then I took Jesse’s Girl’s Magenta polish, which is a sheer magenta, and painted a thin coat over the whole thing, so that the splatters went red.

I think it looks pretty cool!And it went perfectly with the vampire theme! :)
