back to basic black

I’m alliterating again!

I like black. Black is easy, simple, effortless and classic. To me black is the classic red nails.

But all black polish are not created equal. My first was Black Lingerie from Revlon. It was horrendous. The formula was too thin and watery. There was no shine in the finish and the colour was simply not black. It was a watery purplish-tint of a mess. Didn’t wear well either. Next was OPI’s Black Onyx. Superb formula, but pricey. And then came this beaut.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro – Black Satin

Yep, shitty phone pictures. Nope, I’m not sorry.
I love Rimmel’s Lasting Finish Pro line. The brush is just perfection in bristles.

And then three long days at the print shop later, I added my trusty matte top coat to refresh the mani. I have no words for how perfect matte black it. Absolutely no words. Please excuse the tip wear.

As a finishing note, I’m anticipating the next few posts to be backlogged phone pictures. Please blame family travelling internationally to come for Turkey Day and Trample Fest known as Black Friday.
