Dripping with jewels

CCee — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 03:02:49 -0700

Hi everyone,

The grey nails I was wearing are perfect, seriously. But it's summer... and I wanted something to scream SUMMERRRRR, so I added some cheap nailpolish (unbranded) with holograpic sparkles and particles. I placed layer one on 2/4th of my nail, then layer two on 1/2th of my nail, and then the last coat on the tips only, making most of the "jewels" end up on the tips. I love this gradient on my nails.

I'm wearing OPI - Mod About You and a light blue and pink Konad polish on a M51 Konad plate. I'll give more details later.

Pound Cake

Hi everone,

Here's a quick post of my current nails.
I was in the mood for a natural colour on my nails, so I took up Pound cake by Essie. The only thing was, that after 1 day I was sick of it so I had to liven it up with the Konad plate M60.

Watermarble effect

CCee — Mon, 11 May 2009 07:43:39 -0700

Hi everyone,

I've been seeing a lot of tutorials on watermarble-ing nails.... and the 3 ways I tried on my nails here are the one that I found on Tartofraises (on my middle finger), my own way (on my ring and index finger and thumb) and the other way I read about a long time ago on my pinky.

First let me tell you that I found my way the best (owww... how smug of me :oops:). Now how to exactly create the effect:

- On my pinky I placed a thick base of China Glaze, Bahamian Escape, and then one big dot of Colour Club, Pure Energy and then I mixed the colours with a tooth pick. This means you have more of the colours coming together in the middle.

- On my middle finger I used 4 dots of each colour and then mixed with a toothpick. This means you have a colourfull mess to be honest.

- On my ring, index and thumb I did it my way. I used a fairly thick layer of Bahamian Escape as a base colour and used 3 small dots of Pure Energy as a triangle in the middle of the nail. I then used a toothpick to marble the nailpolishes together. Of course the colour you use as a base usually is the most opague and this means this colour will show up the most.

Here is my entire hand:

I made a closeup of my thumb:
and also photoshopped the thumb over the other bottle:

The white on my cuticles is from the Essie Quick-e drying drops. For some reason they really dry out my skin.

Secret Peri-Wink-Le

Hi everyone,

I have these super cute nails right now, I think it's sooo funky and weird, it's completely me ;)

What I'm wearing here is a basecoat (OPI Natural Nail Base Coat) followed by 3 coats of China Glaze Secret Peri-Wink-Le (from the Operation Colour Collection). I actually wrapped the tips of my nails with the nailpolish as well, to see if the colour holds longer this way. I used the OPI, RapiDry TopCoat followed by one drop a nail of OPI, DripDry to ensure it dries quickly.

After about half a day (I was busy in between) I used my new Feauxnad plate in B02 (GCOCL) for the feet. The black is Konad black polish.
