Simple Glitz and Tear Drops with Couture Gel Polish

Press Sample

Hello Loves.  I have a simple mani to show you today that I absolutely adore!  Sometimes I get carried away with the art and forget that an accent nail and a few simple studs can create a very elegant look.

I started with a base of Couture Paparazzi.  Paparazzi is a deep, slightly frosty, dark pink.  I didn't think I would love this color when I opened the bottle, but I was wrong!  It is such a classic pink!  It also was a dream to apply.  Unlike many frosty finishes, I didn't have any issues with streaking.

The accent nail is Couture Strapless Gown.  Strapless Gown is your basic sliver glitter.  I'm very happy with the application on this one.  Like most of the Couture glitters, it is quite thick so there's no fishing for glitter.  It is mostly opaque in three coats.

I topped it off with a few small round studs and these awesome teardrop studs.  I have no clue where I picked these up - they've been in my nail art stash for years.  Crazy to think I'm just now getting around to using them!

Here's another shot of the final manicure.  So simple, but sometimes simple makes the boldest statements, don't you think?
