So a group of us went to watch the Hobbit. Oh, yeaaah! DRAGON! :D Like Ev, I too did a Smaug inspired mani, though it's far less colourful than Ev's! Obviously, the inspiration is dragon scales and treasuuuuuure.

[Base polish: Revlon Chocolate Drizzle Snake Foil Tips: More Nail Polish Coinage] |
The base polish is Revlon's Chocolate Drizzle, which is a medium to dark chocolate brown with a silver shimmer. On top of that is a brown foil of scales. I love the foil, which I think is meant to be a snake pattern. Snake, dragon, eh, same difference. :P The main colour of the foil are different shades of brown, with gold outlining the scales. The different brown shades give the foil such a nice depth.
I used More Nail Polish's Coinage on the tips, which is such a gorgeous nail polish and perfect for this mani because it has all this gold, silver and red glitter. (The full swatch of Coinage can be found
here.) After that, I added a few gold, red and silver rhinestones to the tips as well.

As this was inspired by Smaug, I was hoping to do a mani that looks like dragon scales, with treasure clinging to the underbelly. I think it turned out quite well!
Oh yay, look at you still using Coinage! I made a new bottle for a winner on my blog last month and it's now part of my little 'PAWS' collection. There are now three of us with a bottle!
ReplyDeleteI do still use Coinage and it remains my top gold glitter polish despite my countless other gold polishes. It just has the perfect balance in colour and glitter sizes. :) It's pretty awesome to hear that I'm one in three who owns it!
DeleteI hope you enjoy The Hobbit!
And your mani looks super awesome too. I'm hoping to see the movie next week.
