Nail Fun
BLUE SPECTRUM
Hi Goddesses
For some reason, I am
obsessed with what I call “Lollipop Nails”.
Basically, 3 stripes of colour, swirled with a toothpick. I think it's because, like me, it's very simple :) I have no idea if it has a more proper name,
but I like the name lollipop!
As part of Blue Week
I wanted to do a Lollipop and I decided to do one not in 3 shades of blue, but
using the colours next to blue in the spectrum – green and purple.
The blue is CHINA
GLAZE First Mate (a tealy-navy-royal blue blend), CHINA GLAZE Starboard (a real
emerald green) and ZOYA Mira (impossible to describe – purple ice cream?).
My camera hates
photographing purple, and of all the purples in the world it REALLY hates Mira
lol, so these photos are less than perfect, and they do lose some of the
effect.
In person, the
effect is weird, but I LIKE IT. From a
distance, the nails look a petrol purple, and as you get closer, the individual
colours start to stand out. These 3
colours all have the same intensity and work really well together.
They remind me a
little of Wimbledon colours! It’s a very
rich, dark, Victorian, peacocky kind of combination.
I hoped to be able
to show you that some of the nails have different patterns, but the camera just
wasn’t having it (how rude is that!) but you do have another rare appearance of
the Full Paw Shot – enjoy!
