Hi Goddesses
We're powering through the 31DC2015, and we're now in the final furlong.
Today is shades of green, which gave me an excuse to use my new Barry M Cardamom, a lovely medium dusty green which actually matches my skin tone.
I then saran wrapped with Color Club Kismet, and then stamped over the top with Konad dark green and MoYou Fashionista 04.
This was the first day my ring finger broke, and I thought I could power through, but look how ridiculous it looks! After one more mani I realised I had to pause for a fortnight until it grew out.
Siiiiiigh.
Hi Goddesses
The colour prompt for this week's #52WPNMC is dark green, and whilst green doesn't always love me, dark greens tend to be easier for me to wear.
Today I have a beauty which was sent for review by Above The Curve Polish. Slitheen is a dark, murky, swampy-muddy green and I kinda like it.
I love the sludginess of this polish and that it's so unfathomable - this is waaaaaaay dark green! Despite that, the light does shine through, giving off the occasional golden glow.
There's a reptilian perfection to this polish which I love. It's also interesting because it is built on a warm brown base rather than the colder bases we usually see with dark greens (most are pine-green green).
The Slitheen were cute things / dangerous things in Doctor Who, space invaders if you will ... so what else was I going to stamp on my nails but .... YES space invaders hahaha.
The image is from MoYou Back To the 80s 04, and the stamping is with Color Club Kismet.
Sadly, the holoeyness was a bit much for the camera, and it looks more like lime green ants marching over my nails. Still, you get the idea!
Hi Goddesses
I'm a little shocked that I ended up with this for my Wild Animal prompt, as it wasn't my intention lol. I think I assumed I would have some Big Cat nails, but as soon as I wore The Shapeshifter by Darling Diva, I knew what I wanted to do.
I hate snakes. I mean HATE. Can't bear the thought of them, can't even LOOK at them, so snakeskin nails have never ranked high on my list of nail art to do. However there was something about the colour of this green which made me think "now's the time".
For this mani, I blobbed my stamping plate with various colours to create a smoosh effect. One of these photos is BAD, but you can see what I was doing.
The stamp is from MoYou Pro 04, and I used The Shapeshifter, my khaki Konad and Color Club Kismet.
I absolutely loved how it turned out, and there's a glassy and spectral quality that I wasn't expecting. However, the pattern was a bit more hidden in the photos than it was on my nails, so I added matte top coat.
I do love how a matte top coat instantly focuses on the pattern. It's like it strips away everything non-essential, and just leaves you with what you should be looking at.
The snakeskin pattern is now clearer, and the texture looks more like a snake, but does it look as sexy as the glossy version? I'm not so sure. I do love them both though.
