Nails I Love
SPECTRAFLAIR
FRANKEN-TIME : Denimish
Hi goddesses
I had drooled over
other people’s Spectraflair photos LOADS, especially More Nail Polish (http://morenailpolish.blogspot.com) but had
no idea how to get it. Then I got my
paws on some and –ta-dah –
This is
Denimish. Not the 1st
one made, but the first one I am wearing
because it is STILL Blue Week J
Denimish takes its
colour from China Glaze FIRST MATE which is a dark royal blue. I diluted it half and half with clear and
then added about 5 straw scoops of Spectraflair.
You can see how much
the SF changes the colour of the original polish – it makes anything dustier
and paler. I really like the blue I ended
up with – it’s nice and medium, not too deep or overpowering, but not too pale
either. It does look very denimy.
The holo in it is
great, but only in direct light / sunlight.
Without it, it doesn’t quite glisten like proper holos do, but when the
light shines on it, it sparkles for all it’s worth! This has a lovely deep shimmer, with quite a
lot of gold to it, and when it bends, the overall blue bends quite dark, which I
love.
So, why does a girl
who Does Not Like Blue make a blue holo ?
Well, partly because of the work uniform thing, but also because of the
photo below. I saw a pic of OPI DS
Glamour and thought it looked amazing.
This photo is from the Polish Insomniac, and whilst mine isn’t quite as
jazzy, I’m still quite pleased.
And just to whet
your appetites …. In the next couple of weeks I’ll share the other holos I made
– a dark purple, a pink, and 2 reds.
It’s
Spectraflair-tastic ! J
Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
