Mannequin Hands, attempt 2

I think I actually found my mannequin hands shade. I found this Rimmel "Milk Chocolate" on clearance for 1.09 and figured, "Why the hell not?"

Oddly enough, I think I like this, even though I am more apt to choose a glittery or vampy color (I have to feed the inner goth girl, I tell you!). I might just wear it once I get rid of my crazy leopard print.

Glossy... Almost mannequin hands.


Full hand shot. Look at my pudgy lil hands. :)


And with Matte Magic topcoat... I think I have the right shade now.


Not-quite-full hand shot.

Mannequin Hands

So I read about this "mannequin hands" trend here on All Lacquered Up.

I don't usually do nudes, but my curiosity was piqued. At least piqued enough to try it with a couple of cheap polishes.

I don't think I've really got it. I'm not sure I really want to put a lot of money and effort into TRYING to get it... :)

This was my first attempt -- it was Sally Hansen Beyond Perfect in Bare Beauty. I topped it with China Glaze Matte Magic topcoat.


This was my second attempt. I used NYC in Mulberry Street. Very meh. Too shimmery, in my opinion. I didn't bother with a matte topcoat. :)


Don't think I'll try this again, but it was fun to try once.
