Hello ladies,
The cold day in Philadelphia has made me long for a stroll in the meadow. In shifting my location, I would also alter the weather to include sun touching the strands of long grasses.
Color Club Best Dressed List added a warm and earthy element to my wanderlust. It's a pinkish brown neutral that made me feel like a hand model when I first applied it. I could imagine different types of women finding comfort in this shade. It could further the classic glamour of a well fitted black suit or be equally appealing with a white shirt and khakis. I loved the simplicity of this shade as a base for nail art. With a little adornment, Best Dressed List could be favored by artistic types as well.
Best Dressed List was opaque in two coats. The color evened out beautifully with a layer of topcoat. Applying a light colored cream to long nails is a test of a quality formula. Best Dressed List covered smoothly and I had a perfect application without needing to touch up any areas.
I painted the grasses with Art Club stripers in You're Golden and Penny Pincher from the Pretty Shiny Things kit. The brighter gold tone was created by layering a Migi Nail Art pen in gold with the glitter Art Club striper in Hologram Gold. I found the Migi gold too sheer to be paired on it's own with the more bold stripers. Going over the design with Hologram Gold created unity between the three metallic shades. Instead of using the pen nib to create the blades of grass, I applied the gold with a size zero sable brush from the art supply store. The tiny leaves were painted with the same brush.
Best Dressed List was sent to me for review. This shade along with the rest of the Rebel Debutante collection will soon be available for purchase at victorianailsupply.com. For a chance to win this collection, please check out the Be A Rebel Debutante Contest.
Happy painting, ladies!
