The Dr. Pepper Treatment


I can't take the credit for this one, but I sure wish I could. Please allow me to present to you, The Dr. Pepper Treatment:



China Glaze Ruby Red Pumps over Icing Blackout


No, it's not a super new process in which you dip your fingers into syrupy cola and they come out white and strong and long and impressive. Sorry. What it IS, however, is a lovely layering of China Glaze Ruby Red Pumps over a dark polish (in this case, Icing Blackout) where the result is a deep-vampy-red-black-jelly-glittery-glossy-fabulous-awesomeness. Here is a better look:





Yum. Yum. Yum. Like I said, I can't take credit for this one - some incredible manicurists at a salon in Skippack, Pennsylvania introduced this to me a year ago. It truly is fabulous for both your fingers and toes - I'm sure you won't be disappointed!



Happy day, all!

That is really pretty! I'm correct in assuming that it's one coat of RP? I would think two would hide any trace of the black.

Steffie said...

That looks gorgeous. Love it.

Megan Harmeyer said...

Sandi said...

Now that's what Lubu Heels should have looked like.

This is absolutely stunning. I have both so I will be trying this ASAP! Thanks so much for sharing. It now combines my two favorites Dr. Pepper (diet LOL) and lacquer. I love the results.

@KrystalBall - You are correct - one coat. I have never tried it with 2, but maybe I should!

@Steffie - thanks, girl!

@Megan - agreed. You should give it a shot!

@Sandi - I completely agree. I get so disappointed with glitter/jelly polishes after I see something like this finish!

@April - Sounds yummy!

@Darlene - Definitely!

@Let Them - It was a good idea, I'm so glad that those genius manicurists showed it to me!

@Short Wide Nails - I absolutely agree. I am obsessed with layering lately and I am willing to slap anything on anything else. You never know what you'll find!

@JQ - Woohooo!

@Freshie - Thanks so much!

@Gina - Thank you! Please tell me what you think about it after you give it a whirl!

@Ice Queen - I'm sure you'll love it!

Looks delicious! I'm drinking a Diet Dr Pepper Cherry right now. Wonder what you'd use for a manicure to make it a bit redder. I'll have to try that one.

Awesome manicure!

I'm going to have to try this combo this week! It is gorgeous! I'm never creative enough to think of laying combos, so thanks for the inspiration! :D
