First Mani Monday: Colour Descent

Hi Guys,

I have decided to start writing Mani Monday. This means that every Monday I will post different types of manicures that you could do. Some will be just colours that go with the month, others will be just fun manicures.


So, I decided to should start with a fun manicure.

I thought that this would be a great manicure to do as it in not to hard. You can make it your own by changing  the colours to any colours you want. You could even make a summer or a spring manicure by using pink or purple shades. 
Here are the colours you could use:

I will classify the nail colours from four brands starting with the most expensive to the cheapest.:
   
Starting with:
Chanel - on average costs £18 per bottle 

Vertigo Second colour 

Particuliere Third colour 
Frenzy Forth Colour 
Intermezzo Final Colour


This colours are the colours used
in the photo. 

Now I am going to 
put some other brands dups.



Opi- on average costs £11
































































This are the colours that I think would do the look using Opi. 
Here are their names: the darkest colour is called Lincoln Park after dark, 
the next colour is You don't know Jacque, next one 
is Over the Taupe,  next is Did you Ear about Van Gogh and 
the lightest colour is Don't touch my tutu.

Essie- costs on average £8















Velvet voyage- darkest colour 












Smoking hot - second colour 

















Chinchilly - third colour 
















Sand Tropez - forth colour 














Don't Sweater - final colour 

So, these are the Essie dupes.

The cheapest version: 

Revlon- costs on average £5

















Perplex - Darkest colour
















Grey Suede - Second Colour

















Smoky Canvas - Third Colour
















Elegant - Forth Colour

















Sheer Pink - Final colour



So, those were all of the nail products I hope will look nearly like the Chanel, but using the Dupes. 

But don't forget to protect your nails by using a base and top coat.

Chanel base coat -£18











Chanel top coat -£18













Opi Top and Base Coat -£18.50 Together













Essie Base coat - £9












Essie Top Coat -£9













 Revlon Base Coat £5














 Dior Nail Cream -£19
















Revlon top coat -£5
















I would really recommend the Dior nail cream as it really good for those who apply nail polish often.

I hope that you liked this Mani Monday look. 
Thanks for reading and have fun painting your nails.
