Graphite Glitter Mani


I typically stick to dark nail polishes during the fall and winter months (Deborah Lippmann's Fade to Black is my default go-to and here's a complete list of my favorite polishes for fall) but lately I've been drawn to unexpected glitter combinations for a fun update to the usual routine. After some glittery experimentation, here's my latest at home manicure!


{2 coats} Deborah Lippmann Stormy Weather  +  {2 coats} Deborah Lippmann I Love the Nightlife


Deborah Lippmann makes the best sparkly nail polishes (I prefer the larger glitter - which I've found is easier to remove as well).

I love Deborah Lippmann nail polishes, specially the glittery ones. I agree with you, the larger the glitter the easier it is to remove. Love the combo!

Very pretty! I've been more drawn toward glittery polishes lately myself, which is unusual for me. I'll have to give this combo a try! :)

I recently discovered your blog and must say i love it!!!!...and of course I love your mani today! :) I happen to have the glitter nailpolish from deborah lippmann. It´s kind of expensive to get it to spain so to get your mani i´ll have to look for something similar but it´s really cool!!! ;)

Really like the dark grey glitter.
I need to invest in some glitter Deborah Lippman polishes, they can be tricky to track down in the UK though.

This is one of my favorite nail color combos! I usually go for black with small flecks of glitter but I think I like your gray and larger sparkles even better.

Sarah said...

Oooo I love the black on black! I often end up doing some sort of navy or deep purple with glitter on top.

I need this black polish!! I've recently become obsessed with the Deborah Lippmann line (but only recently, because I've always been kind of a cheapo about nails). Is it matte?

Victoria said...

I have been obsessing over nailpolishes that have sparkle as well. My favorite comibation is Essie's Turquoise and Caicos with Essie's Gold Dust. So fun and pretty! I love the large sparkles on your nails! It doesn't make the dark nailpolish so serious!

I've never tried this brand before! I usually use Chanel, Essie, Gosh, or OPI...but if I come across it, I'd definitely like to try the large glitter- not something you see as often!
