It turned out that Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Midnight in NY was a complete failure for me. As I'm sure you could tell from my last post, I wasn't thrilled with it. I decided to fix it up a little with Chanel Illusion D'Or. I added one coat and another coat of top coat.

That was sufficient for me, and I would have been happy with it, but a full hour after adding to it I took a nice Sunday nap, and woke up with the polish smudged all the way down several nails. It would seem the formulas are not friends...
Rather than spend the rest of my day with squishy, smudgy nail polish, I changed it, and I'm thrilled to bits over the replacement which is why I'm showing it to you now. I'll likely have to go into The Vault for something to show you tomorrow, I like this one so much - I want to keep it for at least a day. As the title tells you, it's Essie Splash of Grenadine from The Resort Collection, which took two coats for a perfectly even, opaque, super glossy finish, to which I added a pattern from Konad plate M79. I used the dotted net pattern in Konad Blue Pearl Special Polish (or Pearl Blue, whatever...), and added tips from plate M19.

How fun is my new mani??? Since Splash of Grenadine is between pink and purple, I thought the blue would bring out the purple, and this is my other favorite Konad Special Polish, along with Psyche Pink. Both were introduced with the Coraline Konad plates, and the two are far and away my favorites because they're glowy and striking. I love many Konad polishes and likely use Black and White the most, but these two are my top picks, so I'm happy when I get to use one of them.
That's my new manicure and all I have for you today. Fortunately, I have some stuff in The Vault to show you tomorrow, so until then, love and nail polish to you!
