Then I had a polish revalation. A "lacqualation", if you will. I picked up a polish from CVS last week from a new line called "Confetti". The shade is called "Moonstruck" and it is that hard to peg taupey, grayish, purple, just like Paradoxal. Next I had to get some purple shimmer in there. I recently acquired a cool, gleaming violet shimmer in a clear base. It's Orly - Love Each Other. Then I threw that on top.
Looking at my creation I am sure it is probably a lot lighter than Paradoxal, but that is okay. I love this!What do you think? Are you getting Paradoxal? Or are you looking for a cheaper option to get the look?

I'm not into Paradoxal. It's pretty, but ..meh...I was thinking like you about frankens or layering. CQ makes a color kind of like that, something bark I think.

what a great idea! =D
ReplyDeleteI'm not that into Paradoxal. If it was the price of a drugstore brand, I would probably get it, but there's no way I'm paying $20 for it.
ReplyDeleteyeah i really like paradoxal, but i can get jessica venus was her name for 7.50 you do the math i've seen comparisons and i know how to save a $ or two. if i had a job yeah i'd splurge though. nice creation of yours there.
ReplyDeletei already bought paradoxal days ago.it was my first chanel. i will be looking out for the colors you used for this mani.
ReplyDeleteI already got the Paradoxal, but your creation is quite close, maybe even better!

I didn't want Paradoxical for that price though I did recently franken a near dupe for the challenge. I'm loving it particularly given the price though now I might have to hunt down that Confetti too! Hard to pass up a good creme.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I really want paradoxal too but I'm determined to find a dupe somehow!
ReplyDeleteYours looks great. I never was into Paradoxal. Too boring for $23.
ReplyDeleteI got Paradoxal as a B-day gift. I like it but I think its way too hyped up for what it is.
ReplyDeleteI loveee this swatch! Super pretty :P
