A few days ago I was trying to create a sheer blush using a very pale jelly polish and some drops of red. That's when I accidentaly poured 1/4 bottle of red into the pale polish, and I had this medium, bright jelly pink. Yesterday I put it on, it looked very cool and squishy, but I'm not very fond of medium pinks, and I topped it with Inglot 202 flakes. Today I stamped it with m63 and black polish, but my black is dying and although I diluted it a bit with polish thinner, it's a sticky mess and though to work with. My Mavadry is on its last drops, and it smeared the konad like crazy. Finally I put on some white bows to cover the Konad failures, which got smeared, too. That's why the far shot =)
See the flakies? This mani actually looks cool from a distance. I'd like to repeat it when I have a new black & white, and with another base color.
I can hardly tolerate konad mistakes on myself. I'm kinda OCD =)

You may dislike your manicure but I think its absolutely adorable!!!! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for tagging me! Even if indirectly! haha
~Kelsea
such a sweet manicure!
ReplyDeleteThank you guys, glad you liked it =)
ReplyDeleteHey, Trincess! I'm gonna be honest - I don't fancy this manicure to much. =) I mean: your Konading skills are wicked, but that bow is just to much for me. =))
ReplyDeleteThat pink looks awesome, by the way.
Is Ayran a brand name or the name of the drink? Do you buy it or make it yourself? I'd love to get a recipe of any turkish sweet drink/food. =)
Thanks for being honest, Sasha =) actually I disliked this mani from the beginning, too. The bows were mainly done to hide the smeared parts, but they got smeared, too! =D I'm going to get a new topcoat tomorrow. These days I feel really down, maybe I should take some time from manicures, the college is hard on me =)
ReplyDeleteAyran is the name of the drink, but it's not sweet. It's made of yoghurt, water and a pinch of salt, you shake them well and voila =D It gets along really well with dishes of meat, (like kebabs) but most of the Europeans find the thought a bit unappealing, I guess it's a thing of taste habits =D But you should try it once along with roasted meat or maybe sandwiches or hamburgers or whatever such thing you like!
i also have an inglot flakies...the 203(green) and 205(gold) but OMG!! its kinda expensive polish..hehehehe..and too hard to remove.. i love the franken u made... but Nihrida is right sweety.. the bow makes this design over decorative...weeeeeeeeeee... sometimes im overly decorative on designing my nails...and really dont know whats really nice NOTD then i just end up to a naked nails..LOL...btw.. thanks for tagging me..and putting me in ur blog roll list.. xoxo
ReplyDeleteInglot is too expensive, don't you think? =) I still like the houndstooth & bow combination, but maybe with a better color combo =) Your designs are always fab, over decorative or not! =)))
ReplyDeleteweeeeeeeee.... oh yeh its too expensive.. here in abu dhabi its around 15$..omg!! just for 1 polish..i dont like their polish for its too runny..i also try their matte polish compare to the matted polish that i've seen...maybe ur right the color base is not the right.. ill try to konadiCLONE this...ill link back to u when i made a mani like this... x)
ReplyDeleteOooh I like the flakes under the houndstooth. It's like hidden treasure! Gold and pink always look great together!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I CAN'T STAND Konad mistakes either! I had a great manicure idea the other night but my execution was awful! I was completely done, held up my nails to examine them, saw how bad they looked, and then removed everything and went to bed without polish! I guess I was just too tired!
Thriszha, you're right, the Inglot polishes are runny and brush-strokey, and shimmery most of the time, no decent cremes or glitter, which I'd prefer... And they are expensive here, too! I'd be happy if you'd link back to your own mani!
ReplyDeletePH, thank you =) I like having flakies underneath the Konad, but my topcoat was a gloopy mess and ruined the mani =) I do that, too! Yesterday I had another konad but I liked none of the pictures, so I'm not putting that up ;)
oh yes sweety..ill link back to u when i already made a mani like this..ohhh i just read now ur profile..LOL!!wow ur multilingual..thats awesome!! are u a Turkish? I have an aunt living in Istanbul too...she's made with Turk.. and i had a Turk exbf (gokhan ege) but he's in aydin now..shhhhh!!(we're still friends) LOL!! the only Turkish word i remember is "marhaba" lol... how do u say ur beautiful and i love u in Turk?

ReplyDeleteYes, I'm from Istanbul, Turkey =D I'm glad you're familiar with Turkey! My cousine lives in Aydin, too! "merhaba" is hello, "sen guzelsin" is you're beautiful and "seni seviyorum" is I love you! =DDD
