Pink and Black

I went to check out a new nail supply store in San Gabriel and the owner was nice enough to throw in a pack of black, flatbacked round thingies for free, so I decided to use em in my manicure =)

I picked up 8 bottles of CND nail polish at the store, and decided to try out their matte topcoat...it doesn't make your nail polish truly matte like Essie's Matte about you, but it gives a cool look to your nail polish, esp on black...it's pretty milky looking which i think contributes to the "matte" look...you can see in the closeup how it looks like I painted a milky coat of something over black...I also used Pink 2 from Urban Outfitters which was a bright jelly pink that dried a little matte like a neon polish
