Party Sparkle - OPI You Don't Know Jacques (suede) + China Glaze Hi-Tek

At work, we had our end of year formal event recently. I wore a blurple dress and pearls and had earlier consulted with Jme on what polish to go with (as this is extremely SRS BSNS, of course). We brainstormed a crazy concoction of deep purple (Glossyblossom Bright Galaxy), with a pastel holo glitter topcoat (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Disco Ball), then a champagne Konad over the whole lot.

Well.

I then proceeded to fall sick in the two days leading up to the event and was rather NOT up for experimenting too much so I ended up doing my mani in the afternoon just before the dinner event. Lacking brain power, I went with a colour scheme I'd used before. Check it!

The base was 2 coats of OPI You Don't Know Jacques (brown suede), then topcoat followed by stamping with China Glaze Hi-Tek (pale bronze chrome). I again top-coated everything, then decided to add a bit more bling....

Overall I was quite pleased with it, if a little unsure after adding the blue rhinestones. I did want to go with the theme colours of my outfit (blue/purple, brown, champagne and pearls) without being too matchy-matchy so I guess it worked out!
