This week's Monday Mani theme at PAA (Polish-aholics Anonymous) is Purple Up! for Military Kids. This picture explains today's theme quite well.
I did a group order forever ago it seems when Illamasqua was doing a sale on their website so we could get free US shipping. It took a long time, but my polishes finally made it to me a week or two ago.
I got Illamasqua at part of my order and KNEW I had to use it for today's purple mani.
Look at that glow! Illamasqua describes Baptiste as "a deep royal purple" with a "shimmer finish." I would say it's so much more than that. It has this beautiful inner glow to it that really makes it stand out. I used two coats for what you see here. I used thin coats so you could probably get away with one thick coat.
On my accent fingers, I used Rimmel Black Satin and one coat of Milani Lavender. Lavender is a super dense glitter with lavender hexes and purple micro glitter. It applies great and really stands out over black.
What is your favorite glitter to layer over black?
