This past Friday I was attempting a mani for a JROTC reunion I was going to on Saturday. I know, I waited until the last minute and spent all day trying to get something decent. I just wasn't happy with any of it. I finally took it off & put Electra Magenta from the China Glaze Tronica collection on. I didn't think to get any pics of it while I was out and I'm about to take it off shortly. I cracked the corner of my thumb off so I need to file my nails down a lil bit.
Anyway, back to the reason for this post. I hated everything I tried & my bedroom smelled like a Hazmat zone.
I started off with Zoya Mira & attempted to stamp over it with Marley....I think this went horribly wrong. Then, I made it worse by trying to do a funky french. This didn't stay on long.
Then, I put on Marley. The white spots on my nail are shiney spots from the Quick Dry. I didn't like the look of this after it was applied as you'll see in the sun pictures.

So, I took those 3 fingers down & put Marley back on them.
I then decided to layer other purple shades on top to see what it looked like....

Purple is my favorite color! and your last picture makes me try a purple fade! ^_^ Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI thought the first one was really pretty, at least before the french tips.
ReplyDelete@Miranda, I think I've entered it :D if not, it's on my list to enter.
ReplyDelete@Patricia, I think I may try it again. Lord knows I have enough purple polish to do it.
@Marcy. Thanks. The pattern was just too much for me, and I tried to save it with the french. I think maybe if the lighter shade was the base and darker as the stamp I might have liked it better.
I like it when people share their mistakes ! I like to be reminded that there are normal humans behind the blogs :) if that makes sense. i enjoyed this post haha!!
ReplyDelete@Sophie, I totally know what you mean. :D I like to have fun playing with makeup and polish and that's the whole reason I started to blog to begin with. Thanks!
