I finally emptied a desk for work and manicure reasons. I'm very proud of myself =) I was working in a tight corner until now, on my bedside end table. It was a nice change to work at a regular table, and it was important to me that I didn't mess up this manicure, because my mind was set and I would never want to start over when if I messed up after so many coats of polish. And my top coat was tacky, too! =)))
I really like this design, because I love the color combination and I think I did a rather neat job. (It could be worse =) It's inspired by the lovely earrings I got myself today. Of course it's not a dead-on design, it's only supposed to give the feeling, and I think it does. I like the end result very much.
This is one of the earrings =)
I used dark brown creme polish as the base, and then freehanded an arch using China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise and an old brush I converted to a nail art brush by trimming. China Glaze Shower Together would be more spot-on, but I thought I should give TUT more love =) Then I konaded using China Glaze 2030 and plate m51.
This is the second time you see a close up of my ear! =D
I hope you liked it! I'm proud of myself =) ^_^

Very, VERY lovely manicure!! Color combo is beautiful, I like this a LOT! :-)

ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of konad in general because just putting contrasting little patterns on every nails is so boring to me. But THIS manicure is soemthing different. It is what I call something extremelly creative and gorgeous, using konad as a tool and not as a purpose of a manicure! Very beautiful. Also dark brown and turquoise is a winner association. I know it's saying lots of good things but your blog is truly the one I watch with the biggest pleasure. There's always beauty and inventivity in what you do! :)
ReplyDeletePS. To respond to your sondage: watermarks never bother me. I don't even notice yours.
Thank you, Nathalie =) You always say such beautiful things =) When I saw the manicure in daylight, I wish I used Shower Together, because TUT was a bit too green. I'm really happy and proud to hear such graceful things about something like doing manicure =) It's really great that people appreciate what I do =)
ReplyDeletethis is absolutely beautiful! props for creativity too!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! =D
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!

ReplyDeletewow this is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteyour mani here looks great on it's own - but looks amazing next to your ear :-) I guess it's hard to keep your fingers next to your ear all the time, so god you took a photo of it LOL
Haha =) That can be said =)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! ♥
I think you did a great job translating your earring into a nail design! It is right on!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about giving yourself one chance to get it right because of all the polish it takes and time consumed. Sometimes I will paint my nails (the base color) before I go to bed so the bottom layer has a chance to dry completely. Then I am less likely to smudge it when the stamping and topcoats are done. It also breaks the manicure into 2 sessions... makes it go faster!
Thank you, Polish Hoarder =)
ReplyDeleteYou're actually right, I sometimes enjoy busting a konad design on the second day, because getting so involved with so many polishes makes me feel insatiable and I get bored very easily. I konad on the second day to make things more interesting. But sometimes, I want to do a konad straight away, and most of the time I make mistakes. By the way, if it weren't for quick-dry top coats, I don't know what I would do with sheet marks! =D
Simply beautiful! I echo the love for the coordinating colours :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tabula Rasa =D <3
ReplyDeleteSo creative! :) You are really talented! :)
