Essie's as
Gold as it Gets inspired me to get into layering polishes a little bit more. It is a quick way to jazz up any mani and can help disguise scuffs and, dare I say, bubbles that may have happened during the application of your first color. Don't get me wrong,
Paradoxal is a phenomenal color on it's own, but sometimes I wish the secret pink/purple shimmer would peak through just a tad more. So I decided to layer
Kisses and Bisses from
Essie's Spring 2011 French Affair Collection over it.
This is only one layer of the
Essie polish and the pink shimmer really stands out on top of
Paradoxal's murky purple! It almost makes the polish look like a duochrome, and we all know we need more of those in the nail polish world ;)
I used Mavala Protective Base Coat and Seche Vite Top Coat.

That's some improvement! although I love Paradoxal on it's own, occasionally spicing it up like this is not a bad idea at all :)
