Thanks to an old China Glaze collection, I’ve wondered how could I define a vixen. A temptress, a “malicious woman with a fierce temperament’, according to the online dictionaries. Which nail polish or manicure should I choose for a woman like that? A red, a taupe? None of these!
I’ve rummaged through my collection and I’ve put together particular colours for an equally particular skittles. I’ve mixed and matched more neutral and warm tones, all with different finishes. The result was a quite autumnal skittles manicure.
– Avon, Noir Emeald: emerald green, metallic;
– First Lady No. 24: dark plum, lucid;

With the first layer it looks burgundy, but it looks like in the bottle with three thin coats. Suspended there are small golden flakes (or gold flakes), very visible in the bottle, which you see on the nails if you look very carefully and while removing the nail polish (without a base coat the flakes may remain on the nails).

I’ve used three coats and one coat of a liquid nail polish corrector (Avon smudge fixer), to make the glaze more homogeneous, because it can happen to apply it in the wrong way.

Here I’ve only used one coat.

Its consistency is very liquid and tends to flow towards the edges of the nails.
For these pictures I’ve used three coats and the liquid corrector (Avon smudge fixer), it was still translucent but I like the gel effect I’ve created.
The other Avon nail polishes are available and their price varies depending on the country, here the regular price is 7,95 euros. The First Lady nail polishes are a preview of an Italian line.
I apologize so much, it’s a totally out of season
Which nail polish attracts you the most?
