Vegan version of my Favorite color- Violet creme

When I was younger I would spend fifty dollars a week to get my tips filled and painted a creme violet color. A few weeks ago, I found the same color for $5 at a beauty store by me in Queens. My boss a few weeks before that day bought a few Spa Ritual nail colors, nail polish that is completely vegan, with no animal gelatin or anything like that. My boss keeps nail polish in her guest bedroom and this is one of the colors, its called Thunder Road. Its similar to my favorite Essie polish color - name to be updated- but its a slightly darker shade. Still a great creme that can be worn all day during the office, and can be spiced up w a shimmer or glitter on top, or even a crackle nail polish. Enjoy!

I never seem to be able to get the polish quite right, so I'm seriously considering purchasing some things from their site, but I don't want to break the bank. I must have done my nails at least five times each, but I wasn't focused and by the end of it I was so tired I didn't know where my nails ended or began. Anyway, I googled some easy designs after that and decided to create a two color design, one side glitter and one side my favorite violet Essie shade. I painted my nails the whole color, then drew a diagonal line and painted from that upwards, diagonally dividing the nail into two colors, then I put glitter on the top color, and it actually didn't look that bad based on the fact that it took me five minutes.
