Hi Goddesses
You may remember seeing a variation of this mani on Monday. Well, since I did the original, I have been redoing it in all sorts of colours. I just can't get enough of it.
Today's monochrome version features 3 luscious shades of blue -
- Different Dimension Heavenly Waters
- Different Dimension Pluto Is Still A Planet To Me
- Illasmasqua Raindrops
and the gorgeous Barry M Coconut on base.
Is it silly that I love this mani so much? I love large floral prints, and this really appeals to my sense of quirky.
I love how the 3 colours play nicely together too, and the matte top coat adds a nice finish.
I'm not joking when I say you're going to see this in loads of variations. Seriously.
Hi Goddesses
Phew what a week! Well, what a fortnight. I have been really exhausted, so much so that I haven't put even half the time into blogging that I normally do. Hence I have a little backlog, starting with this mani which should have been posted on 6th November.
The #52WPNMC prompt for this mani was 3 Shades of Blue, and I knew I wanted to use the prompt to try some tweed nails for the first time.
I started with a base of Heavenly Waters by Different Dimension. This is a lovely medium blue holo - not quite as cobalt and bright as some, but lovely nevertheless.
The colour is rich, but not too obnoxious, making it a good multi-use polish.
For my tweed colours I picked another Different Dimension polish - Pluto Is Still A Planet To Me - and one of the China Glaze The Giver polishes - Intelligence Integrity and Courage.
This was my mistake - Pluto shouldn't have been the middle polish. Don't get me wrong, it's gorgeous, but it's not massively opaque. It's also crammed with shimmery gorgeousness, and that just did not translate well in the nail art.
I ended up going back in with Heavenly Waters to mix up the pattern a bit more, and whilst I don't hate the final version, it's also not as pretty as I hoped it would be.
So then, just for kicks I stamped over it with ANOTHER blue polish (a Konad) and a circuit-board type pattern from MoYou Sci Fi 09.
I think it looks better WITH the stamping, purely because the blue is a better shade for complimenting the holo and the CG.
