Gelish Matte Top It Off Black Shadow Manicure I picked up more Gelish Trends polishes and have swatched them up! I had REALLY wanted to pick up the new Gelish Foil Nail Art kit, but I called 4 different Sally's in the area and NONE of them had it. Once I get my hands on one I plan on writing up a full review with pics. :)

Additionally, my lady requested a black matte manicure inspired (alright, straight up copied!) by one she saw on Pinterest.

I was able to use the new Gelish Matte Top It Off. I love it, so, so much. Her manicure is just 2 coats of Black Shadow and one coat of Matte Top It Off.

The Gelish Trends colors I picked up are Pinch of Pepper, Concrete Couture, and Feel Me On Your Fingertips (check out my Life of the Party swatch here!) A Pinch Of Pepper is AWESOME. Look at it on the black - it just turns into white polka-dots (and I'm sure it looks like black polka dots on white polish). It isn't glitter, really. It's more like confetti, I guess. It kind of reminds me of an eggshell or Robin's egg.

Concrete Couture is a lot darker than I thought it would be. It's loaded with a very, very dark silver/grey glitter. It reminded me a bit of Showstopping, hence the comparison swatch.

Lastly is Feel Me On Your Fingertips, a goooorrrgeous glitter purple. I wish I owned Princess Tiara, because I think it'd look AWESOME over that color! In retrospect, I bet it'd look pretty good over Cocktail Party Drama... should've swatched it over that one!
