Pink Ruffian!

Oh. My. Gosh. Guys.  I could not be more in love with the manicure I just did.  AH!  So like I said in my post a little while ago, I looked all day for matte polishes because I wanted to try a ruffian manicure.  I didn't find any so I'm like, screw it, I'll just rock a bright shiny colored one.

So I took ORLY's "Shine" as the metallic base (non-frost, which I love), and China Glaze's 108 degrees and here's what I came up with...sorry sort of picture heavy.  I literally took 20+ pictures and couldn't decide which ones to use.

I'm impressed with how good this pic came out...and it's inside!

Up close, super flash.  This is what the pink actually looks like, though!




Ahh, I LOVE it.  I could've been more patient and taken more time to clean up and smooth my lines, but this was my first ruffian and I'm pretty satisfied with how I did.  If it's sunny maybe I'll do pics again tomorrow.

What do you think?  Have you tried the ruffian before?

I got tagged for the Kreativ Blogger award...but I'm going to wait until tomorrow to do that.  Also if you look back a few posts I had a reader survey...you should fill it out!

  1. Wow, this looks amazing. I've never heard of a ruffian! But I like it. I'd try it but my polishing skills aren't good at all. Great job!

  2. Thanks!! I love it :) It was created in the fall of '09 for the runway but it was done with a gold foil polish and a black matte polish. So it typically turns out something like this, but I'm into shimmers and wanted to try it a different way: http://www.lacquerized.com/2010/03/ruffian-inspired-manicure-most-awesome.html

  3. I like this, now I really want 108 degrees! And also, now I want to try a ruffian as well.

  4. I didn't think it was anything special when I first saw it...I thought it looked similar to other polishes that I had, but it's so bright, it's really like nothing else I own! I highly recommend it :) Although I've only so far used it on top of the silver base so I don't know how it looks by itself!
