Subtle Shimmer Nude Triangles

Good Morning loves!
How are you all doing this morning? I'm sad the weekend is over and our warm spell has ended for a while in Southern Ontario. It was 0C this morning! I was rather chilly walking to my car.

The mani I have for you today is something that I came up with yesterday. I used Essence Nude It! for the base and OPI's DS Glow for the details. I have had mixed reviews from friends and family on this on, so let me know what you think!

I started with 2 coats of Nude It! (swatch pictures at the end of this post). Then grabbed my striper brush and started free handing these triangles onto my nail. Originally I had planned to go all the way up my nail, but I really liked the inverted triangle I ended up with at this point.

I think the holoness of DS Glow makes this mani something extra special . In some light you can see the triangles more clearly and in other lights it just looks like there is a little shimmer.

I love how subtle this look is and how kind of edgy it is at the same time! I think with brighter colours the design would stand out more, but I was trying to go for a very subtle look. I hadn't worn anything this subtle in a long time and was craving it. Do you ever crave simpler subtle manis?

Here are my swatches of Essence Nude It!

I really like this colour, it is nude without being the exact same colour as my skin tone. So it lengthens my nails without completely blending in.

Formula was great on this. Covered completely in two coats and was really easy to control. I had very little clean up to do.

Every Essence colour that I have tried so far has been fantastic. I will have more to show you soon!

What did you think of my subtle shimmer mani? Do you have any Essence polishes?
