Franken...er...Thursday? Lady Mary Crawley

So, have you ever had that moment when you are so busy where you literally forget what day it is? That has been my life lately. And I missed Franken Tuesday. So, I bring you Franken Thursday!

This week's polish is back to the Downton Abbey theme, because I am having withdrawals. Is anyone else missing it?

 

This polish was inspired by Lady Mary Crawley, the eldest and favorite daughter of Downton. She is so gorgeous and so is Michelle Dockery...so this polish had to be as rich, sophisticated, and sassy...like Mary.

 

Although sometimes she favors powder blue, Mary is often seen wearing jewel tones or black throughout the series, and is always impeccably dressed.

 

Lady Mary Crawley is a combination of masses of fine purple glitter, emerald green square glitter, and a small amount of red hex glitter for a pop. It is simple but gorgeous.

 

Here is macro bottle shot.

 

This is two coats on every other nail. No base. I set it off with Butter London British Racing Green on the other nails for a truly decadent look.

What do you think of the polish inspired by Lady Mary? Do you want to have a chance to design your own nail polish? You do? Well...enter my contest HERE!

 

Good luck!

Depression Awareness Mani

Hello PrettyPanda readers!

Some of you may know, or may have seen on other blogs that it is Depression Awareness month and a lot of bloggers are doing manicures in the official color of Depression Awareness: Green!

I wanted to do one as well, and I kept mine simple. Depression is something that I deal with everyday. I have been diagnosed with moderate depression and anxiety and it is a hard struggle. Know that you aren't alone and never give up!

 

I just happened to have a new green in my stash! This is Butter London's British Racing Green!

 

 

This is a creamy dark green, with the tiniest shimmer of tonal green glitter. But I mean tiny!

 

 

I love that this looks sophisticated and is a simple twist on black nails. It is still a dark enough color to be chic, but I know when I look at my nails I will be reminded of my fight with depression and how strong I am!

 

 

One coat of this is pretty streaky, but two evened everything right out. The formula on these is nice, not too thin or thick and Butter's last around 5 days on me with a good topcoat.

 

This nail polish is absolutely Panda Approved!

 

Take out a green from your stash and do your own Depression Awareness Mani!! I'd love to see it!

 

xoxo PrettyPanda
