Recently bought two lots of not-quite-vintage nail polishes (one Hard Candy, one Sally Hansen Magnetics) and was drawn to the HC matte glitter “Black Tie Optional”. I realized that it reminded me of traditional composition notebook covers and decided to do an entire manicure inspired by them! Lucky enough, one of the Sally Hansen Magnetics was called “Graphite Gravity” and perfectly fit in, too.
