For this week's work mani, I'm wearing CQ's 568 Vintage. I am totally, madly in love with this off-white creme. I want to paint all the walls in my house this color. Well, maybe not all, but a whole bunch of them. It reminds me of a cozy cottage, decorated with mini floral fabrics and distressed furniture. I have not seen a neutral quite like this, many of them are muted khaki's but this has just a tiny hint of pink in it. Two easy coats, too!
The first photo is stopped down 1/3 an exposure value and the second photo is at 0. I included both to accommodate differences in monitors. The colors are accurate. A creamy, clean look. I so want to add some teal, orange and burnt sienna!
I picked up this little gem at Rite Aid for $3.99.
Wow this color is that opaque in two coats? A gem, just like you said! It's great after a period of crazy colors, and totally work-safe! It's a must in al collection, then, I guess :) Looks great on you also!
ReplyDeleteHi, CN! Yes, I've learned with pastels and neutrals like this I have to wait for the first coat to dry before I paint the second coat, or else there's dragging and I have to paint a third coat to even it out, then it becomes goopy mess... So if I just wait for the first coat to throughly dry, the second coat is really easy. Thanks for the compliment!
