Head in the Clouds

The polish I have to show you today is just as amazing on the nails as it is in the bottle! It's Models Own Indian Ocean. Since it's a sheer, duochrome, shimmer polish, I chose to layer it. My base of choice? Hard Candy Sky--a pretty, light blue creme.
Indian Ocean has a blue tint, so it made Sky appear more vibrant than usual. The pink shimmer was also quite evident, although I had a hard time capturing its actual vibrancy on camera. I shoot my pictures by a window, and the light totally out the shimmer :( Oh, I recently made a lightbox using Sarah's super easy tutorial, so look out for my more consistent lighting scheme soon! :D











For another variation on layering Indian Ocean, check out my girl LB's blog here! She comes up with some of the sickest layering combos, and her blogging voice is always so much fun to read (:

I would never buy a shade like this since I'm not a shimmer fan but your pictures would make me buy almost anything! Looks SO stunning! x

I made my lightbox just like that! :D

If sunlight is coming way too harshly on your window you can try tapping tissue paper on the glass, that diffuses the light a bit

And don't tell me how awesome indian ocean is *covers ears* LALALALALALA I've been trying to convince myself I don't need it

Gorgeous pics as usual :)

That's beautiful! I like the base color you chose; it really compliments Indian Ocean and the two look fab together. :-)
