Beauty Tips for Women: Cirque Colors – Ghost In The Machine (LE)

I was so happy to get my hands on the Meta Collection from Cirque Colors. I used Ghost In The Machine for this manicure. Cirque Colors describes it as “a shimmery chameleon that shifts from green to blue to purple”. I certainly agree with their description. I actually find the whole collection mesmerizing. I used Born Pretty Store plate BP-L003 stamped with Rica – Whiteout.  Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 611 Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 612 Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 613

Taupiarist is a holographic matte taupe.  It is very delicate and subtle but makes a statement.  The formula was excellent.  I did three thin coats with top coat.

I wanted to add nail art to my manicure but didn’t want to cover up this gorgeous polish.  I decided to go with a pink rose.  The rose decal is from the Born Pretty Store.

The polish I used for this manicure are:
China Glaze – Love Letters

Pure Ice – Silver Mercedes
Rica – Blackout
HongNuo – Glitter in silver
Seche Vite

The Marilyn Monroe image and the swirling image are from Born Pretty plate BP-15.   I stamped them using Rica Blackout. Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 564

I wanted to do a black and silver color combination.  A play on the simple sexy little black dress Marilyn Monroe wore while playing ukulele in Some Like It Hot.  The silver is for diamonds of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds.
