H&M Lady Luck with nail art

Hi Everyone,

 

I made these a few week ago. When I saw this polish I fell in love, but I was afraid it would be a sheer one or the duochrome effect would only show up in the bottle. Luckily there were testers in the store and my sister tested it on her thumb....and wow it was sooo pretty. Really changes from green to blue. I just had to buy it. It also stamps pretty cool.

 

Unfortunately I had a lot of trouble taking good pictures, but if you google this polish you will find better swatches.

 

The nail art photo also isn't great, it was way better in real life. Base H&M Lady Luck, stamped with Konad SN blue and H11 and Konad SN pastel green and BM316.

 

Here some swatches, with flash it turned a totally different color, with some light it looked like it had many brushstrokes but that wasn't the case in real life. But I did my best to give you an idea of this ohhh so pretty polish.

 

 

 

On this last picture you can really see the duochrome well on my index finger.

Self Designed Dragon nails..lol :)

Hi Everyone,

Today I have something funny to show you ;) I got creative and made my own images out of other parts of imageplates. I made these for the cool History, Myths and Legends contest of Nat from http://noholos.blogspot.nl/2012/07/stamping-and-freehand-contest.html This was such a challenge for me, since I did not have any stamps for this theme. It supposed be dragons above an old castle wall...lol :) I had so much fun thinking and making this. As you know I always love a great theme and challenge. This is actually my 2nd design I first tested both of them on paper. I will make my 1st design later. The contest is open untill August 10th so you should all enter too :) The contest has lots of prices and different stamping categories.

I had a hard time taking a normal picture because the base was too shimmery and metallic so I don't have one without the paper sorry for that. But I was already happy that I managed to make a picture that wasn't blurry or too light. And also the base colors are color accurate here.

Base is a gradient of Golden Rose Paris Magic color 327 & 328. All stamped with Konad SN black.
Thumb: head M27, body H11, wing BM314, fire out of his mouth H20, sort of castle wall XL B.
Index: dragon fire BM12, sort of castle wall XL B.
Middle finger: head and body HB016, wing BM314, tail BM305, sort of castle wall XL B.
Ring finger: head M27, body BM15, wing BM314, tail BM305, sort of castle wall XL B.
Pinkie: dragons tail BM305, sort of castle wall XL B.

Here some swatches of the gradient base.

You can see how reflecting and shimmery it was with just a bit of light.

A bit blurry.

With flash it totally got lighter.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Bees and Butterflies on OPI The Show Must Go On

This I made last weekend :) The Show Must Go On is my only polish from this collection and although a lot of people think it's more like a christmas color I finally really wanted to try it. So I made a summer creation on it ;)

Base OPI TSMGO, butterflies stamped with HB32 and Konad SN yellow and SN pastel pink. The leafs/flowers are from imageplate H11 stamped with Konad SN pastel orange mixed with SN white. On my ring finger 2 fimo Bees.

When it's summer I always like to match my toes with my hands, so I did that again :)

On my toes only the butterflies.

Some bad swatches of OPI The Show Must Go On ;)

With flash.

With flash under artificial light, here you can see a bit of the duochrome.

A bit blurry but here you can see the duochrome better.

Have a nice weekend!
