This post is long overdue. However, after seeing witoxicity's recent post of her first gorgeous, green, glittery nail polish (like the alliteration there?) I was reminded to share this polish with you. The name of Cleopatra is fitting because of the all the gold glitter with flashes of turquoise. It's also one of my first glitter nail polishes. Since I'm no longer 12, I don't find myself buying these types of polishes but some are hard to resist. At least we have toes and shoes to hide our transgressions away.
This nail polish is by China Glaze. I've no idea if this is limited edition but recent trips to Sally's Beauty (where I originally picked this up) suggests that it possibly is - I haven't seen it on the main display. The base of the polish is clear, while the rest of the color is all glitter. The majority of the glitter is gold with turquoise and purple flashes. It does take several coats but what I like to do with this polish is dab a lot on, at one time, to build the polish up quickly. The process to take off is time consuming, as I suspect this is same for all glitter polishes.
Here is what looks like a "doctored" photo that shows a more enhanced turquoise eye on Elizabeth Taylor in her role as Cleopatra. I was able to catch this movie a couple of weeks ago. It's a lot of fun to watch and the I'm amazed at the sets. Cleopatra's entry into Rome was staggering. I wonder if this is out it really went down in history? Here's a link to a youtube video that plays this particular scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-dspv6LJHM
I hope everyone is having a good weekend!
