For Christmas day this year I wanted festive nails that
would last longer than one day, so I went for Leighton Denny’s Jailbird. As I have
gone into before my opinions on LD’s formulation and packaging I won’t go into
it again I will just focus on the colour in this post.
Jailbird is a greeny/blue metallic; the best way I can
describe it is as a mermaid’s tail. It is beautiful shade that I would class as
transitional, it will work in any season but for Christmas it looks like a
bauble on my finger tips. I decided to add a single coat of Devil Dust, Devil
Dust is very small red glitter fragments in a clear top coat. This allowed me
to have extra detailing and making Jailbird slightly more festive in a subtle
way that works throughout the festive period not just on Christmas day.
In the pictures you can barely see the glitter but in person
it is so beautifully subtle it is just as the light hits my nails that you
catch the red. Overall I love this combination; however it will just be a
festive option. I cant wait to wear Jailbird in the summer where it will really
catch the light.
Bye for now
