Spicing up the black

Hey lovelies :) I was in the mood for a dark mani a few days ago and so reached for my black nail polishes. Not wanting a pure black mani, I used some layering polishes to spice it up a bit and here is the result!

I applied one coat of Ulta3 black satin onto my nails and then layered with China Glaze White cap and OPI Servin' up sparkle. Onto my accent nails, I applied two coats of Orly Matte vinyl and decorated my fourth finger with some stars, pearls and rhinestones from the nail art etailer Born Pretty Store. I felt the star was fitting as the mani gave me a spacey feel. How's that for a shooting star attempt? :P

A couple of photos in the sun to show the bling and glory of Servin' up sparkle :) I love these holo glitters ♥

It's not much, but I like it for it's simplicity and prettiness.

    That looks great! It does have a 'spacey' kind of stary night feel to it. Very pretty!
