Happy Friday! I'm happy it's the weekend, but more happy it's September 16. Why, you ask? What's so special about the 16th? I have 2 words for you: Ryan. Gosling. Yea, that sessy man has a new movie out today, Drive, which I have been dying to see! I cannot wait - will probably check it out tomorrow, even though my movie buddy is out of town this weekend. Also on the agenda is to play with my new light tent! I'm trying to upgrade the photo quality here at P&T, and this should be a big help! Can't wait to swatch and try it out over the next few days!Today I have for you Dior Purple Mix. Purple Mix is a deep purple creme with strong gray tones. I think this color is the perfect transition from summer to winter. It's not too summer bright, but not quite a fall vamp color, either (although you can vamp it up with Dior Rock Coat, which was released in the same collection this past spring). This was a great formula, as to be expected from Dior, and only required 2 coats.
To spice up the mani, I did an accent nail using Kleancolor Midnight Seduction. Kleancolor is an awesome cheapie nail polish brand popular for it's holographic flakie and glitter polishes, and the popularity is well deserving. Their polishes are awesome for layering! Midnight Seduction is a micro glitter with silver, teal, and pink glitters. It's so beautiful! Because it's micro glitter one coat would have sufficed for layering, but I wanted to fully bling out the nail, so I added a second coat. Voila!
Let's just say today was full of love - I love Purple Mix, I love Midnight Seduction, and I love my new light tent! I can't work out the light tent, though, until I have something to photograph - so I'm off to swatch!
What do you think? Do you like this particular shade of purple? Are you taking your time transitioning to fall colors, or have you nose-dived right into the season, with dark, sultry vamps and all? And what photography tips do you have for me? Sound off in the comments!
