What a QT

Saturday, September 11th, 2010

This is the third polish I’ve tried from the OMG-collection, and it’s probably one of my favorites. I like my hot pinks =) Application was pretty much as the rest of them, there’s a risk of bald spots if you’re not careful, and go over the same area twice with the brush. I ended up with three layers which I usually do.

In sunlight. Yep, the nails are shorter since the accident from the last post..

I used my pretty cat Lakrits as a background for this. Taken with flash inside, but it’s a little dark.

This is the second polish I’ve tried from China Glaze’s OMG-collection. I find it a little hard to describe the color, but compared to QT (which is a darker hot pink), this is a bit weaker and a tad more purple. In the shadow there’s not much happening, but in bright lights and in the sun the holographic effect shows up, and I love it!

Indirect light.

In sunlight it comes alive!

My first holographic polish ever, LOL from China Glaze OMG-collection. And boy am I in love! It’s a gorgeous darker purple, which is probably my favorite color to wear on my nails. The application is a little hard with the OMG-polishes, as the polish tends to get dragged away when you go over it a second time. But if you just take your time it’s totally worth it! I think I have three layers, which is normal for me. Unfortunately the sun didn’t want to come out and play while I was taking the photos, so I had to make do with artificial light.

Kitty aproves of LOL. Taken outside in the shadow.

Photo with flash. I hope you can see some of the holographic goodness going on here.

Pink Voltage

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

I was just browsing through the few China Glaze polishes that are available here in Sweden, and first thought this was a basic pink neon. But when I inspected it closer I saw a hint of shimmer, and I knew I had to take it home with me. Since it’s pretty sheer I first applied a coat of Depend no. 34 which is a neon pink creme. I don’t remember how many coats of Pink Voltage I applied but I think it was at least two. It’s quite a subtle shimmer with a blueish flash, and that’s what I really like about this polish despite it being sheer. It was quite hard to photograph this one, but I’ve tried to get the photos as near the real color as possible.

Here you can see some of the blue/purple shimmer.

Yes, I have an evil looking cat.. =)

Millennium cow nails

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

This is an altered design from what I’ve had once in a while before, cow nails, but this time with silver as a base. For this I’ve used China Glaze Millennium, and the cow spots are made with a toothpick and Nyx Ink Nail art in black. I tried using the brush first but I failed quite miserably. Sorry for the bad photos and the tip wear, but I hope you can get a sense of it anyway.
