31 Day Challenge Day 6 - Violet

'Ello!

Today is day 6 of the 31 day challenge! 6 is my favorite number for some reason. Anyway, violet is purple right? I used purple.

This polish is a recent purchase and OMGS I love it. It's from the newest collaboration between Sephora and Pantone called Purple Parachute. It's also supposed to be a very close cousin to RBL Scrangie which was all sorts of purple duochrome deliciousness created by the legendary blogger, Scrangie. I've only seen one comparison and it said Scrangie was a bit sheerer but that sheerness also allows the duochrome to shine through and it was also more red based. This has a purple base with green shimmer that was being a pain to photograph. Please imagine this more prettyful, kinda like the bottle shot.




I just love the base color of this, so unique (in my stash at least) and it just shines on my nails! I might layer something over it or spice it up later but, for now, I just wanted to enjoy the color on its own.

In unrelated news, school and procrastination have already begun to kick my ass so that's why you might see less of me and shorter posts. Like I said, I'll keep posting the challenge manis but the posts in between might be a little thin. Also, I'm sick which sucks.

Have a good day and I hope you enjoyed your long weekend!

    1. It really is! It dried darker than bottle color and the shimmer wasn't quite as pronounced but I still <3 it.

    1. Teehee...MWAHAHAHA! I did the same thing, I saw it in the store but passed until I could see swatches. When I saw the pics I made a beeline for Sephora to pick it up. Boyfriend was with me and was surprised at how quick I made a decision :D
