Every once and a while you stumble on a nail color that from
the first time you wear it, you know it will be one of your favorites forever.
When I was a kid we had a L’Oreal color that was called Sea Violet, I still remember that color because I loved it so much.
We much have bought ten bottles of that color, if I ever saw it in the store I
would buy it in a heartbeat. While spending one of my super sweet Ulta gift
cards I bought OPI Pompeii Purple and
I fell in love. It is such an amazing color, I’m pretty sure I love everything
about it. I’m also pretty sure that this whole post is going to be an ode to Pompeii Purple.
I kept these nails on for almost a full week, pause for
shock and awe, almost a whole week. For this manicure I used OPI Pompeii Purple and Sally Hansen CSM Gilty Pleasure. I had no idea what kind
of art I wanted to do until I had already started painting. As soon as I saw
how amazing the OPI is I knew that I didn’t want to cover much of it up with a
design so I ended up doing my first chevron!
Pompeii Purple nails
Can we take a minute and talk about how amazing this color
is? I didn’t realize how popular this color is until I had these nails at work
and two different ladies guessed the name of the color correctly. It doesn’t
happen very often that someone knows the name of the color that I’m wearing, I’m
going to go out on a limb and say that I’m far from the first person to
discover how amazing this color is.
Pictures can’t do this color justice
My chevrons are a bit of a miss. I didn’t center my guide
dots very well so the whole design is very much off center. I also didn’t have
my brushes so I did the design with a dotting tool so the lines aren’t super
smooth (yes I’m blaming the tool and not the painter).
Lumpy chevrons
If you like pink/purple nail polish I highly recommend this
color, it looks so awesome on that I was tempted to paint them this color again
after I took these nails off. Now, if only I could find Sea Violet.
