Coconut Ruffian
17 Aug
Mmmm… coconut. I love coconut anything. Yummy! I was in my bathroom today and my Coconut Lime Verbena lotion from Bath and Body Works caught my eye. I instantly thought of doing a coconut ruffian.
As I sat down to do this mani, I though, “This is going to be quick and easy.” NOT! I knew it would take a couple coats to get my white opaque over a brown, but didn’t anticipate that my brown would be so splotchy and require three coats. My brown is Essie Chocolate Cakes and is pretty much the exact color of a Devil’s Food cake. Another yum. In general I find Essie polishes to be a little thin for my liking. I don’t like needing multiple coats and I don’t like having my cuticles flooded. I encountered both of these with this polish. Beautiful, warm, rich brown, but not my favorite formula. My white is Julep Brigitte, a good bright white.
I topped this one off with Cult Nails Wicked Fast. What do you think of my coconuts? 
I am coconut fan too. If you get a chance, look up Luna and Larry’s coconut ice cream and see if you can find some near you – that stuff is the BOMB. Oh and I like the mani too!
Sounds yummy! Looks like there are several retailers near me that carry it. Thanks for the tip!
Wow! This is such a beautiful ruffian mani! So perfect! And the colors you chose were a great match! I love it!
Thank you so much!
