Hi Goddesses
Today I am what you call a Chuffty. Maybe even a Chuffty Cat. That means I am very "chuffed" with today's mani - chuffed is a British word for "well pleased with meself". Lol.
This is one of those lovely accidents that just *happened* with no planning or forethought. The only thing I really decided on was that the pink I used should be an untried so Color Club Wing Fling, here we are.
I really liked the Color Club Take Wing Collex from last summer. I feel it got way overshadowed by the kerpow from the CG Neons, but this was an amazing collection of summer brights with glass-flecked electrical sizzle.
Wing Fling though, has left me a little cold. I admit, it looks sensational in these photos, everything a hot pink should be, but in real life, I just wasn't feeling it. I think it was actually a little too electric for me and felt almost flourescent. Shame.
So then I thought I'd do a pink splatter, with a bit of black in it to make it rock n roll and ..... OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH !!!
I honestly can't tell you how happy I am with how this turned out. It's bright, it's zappy, and it's just got that little edge to it. Awesome.
I used OPI Sparrow Me The Drama and Black Onyx and one of my favourite pinks, CG Traffic Jam ... and a very special tool. I am now going to share with you why this came out with extra awesome in it.
You know how sometimes when you do a splatter mani, the polish lands too heavy ? You get a great big fat dollop of polish that obliterates half the nail ? Well, when that happened with THIS mani, I took a cotton bud, and gently lifted some of the excess off. You can't really tell where I did it, but you can tell the texture is different in some areas, and I really like that.
Ok tomorrow is purple ... damn ... I don't know if I even HAVE a purple !!! Lol.
Love xx
