NOTD: Disney Cinderella film inspired nails

I actually planned to post this Nails of the day, which is inspired by the Disney Cinderella live-action film, last month - around its release, but it got delayed so much that I think I only managed to post it before it disappears from the movie theaters. Better late than never, right?

I really love the blue Cinderella dress designed by Sandy Powell, in particular, the voluminous skirt build up of layers of blue, turquoise, and purple fabric and the sparkling, small crystals. It looks very dreamy, together with the Swarovski crystal glass slippers. You can get a closer look of the dress in the beautiful movie poster shot by Annie Leibovitz.

The whole thing reminds me a bit of a nail polish that I have, the Canmake colorful nails nail polish 28. I looked through my archives and I found out I never swatched it on its own before. I tried wearing it on its own before, but it never looked very good. It never occurred to me that I could wear it as a gradation and to wear a top coat on top to even it out. I guess, I wasn't that experienced with nail polish as I am now. ^_^

Before, I have only worn the Canmake colorful nails nail polish no. 28 as a top coat over a color nail polish, but it looks very pretty on the nails as a gradation too. Be sure to apply thin layers and slowly build it up, patiently waiting until the previous layer has dried up properly, before you apply another. A good top coat that evens the layers out is also important. I used the Ciaté base coat NT003 - underwear, but most top coats these days do that. It can get a bit hard to remove it from your nails later on, as it is a glitter nail polish. So, you might want to wear a peel-off base coat beforehand.

The translucent, holographic glitters used to remind me of fish scales and mermaids, but it actually also looks like something Cinderella could have worn on her nails to the ball. ^_^
