I'm supposed to be studying for my Tax Quiz on Monday but I'm really not in the mood, especially after having a writing test this morning. So instead, I shall be showing you my recent polish efforts!
Say hello to my franken! I made it one night after studying for hours. I always had this purple polish which I only used once and when I did, my friend said my nails look like brinjals (eggplants) so you basically get the colour it was. This purple had a shimmer to it that reminded my of Chanel Paradoxal so on I went, and I mixed in a little grey to get this! (The grey I used was also frankened by myself last year so I can't really provide you with the exact details on how to get this shade! All I can say is add in the grey drop by drop until you're satisfied!)
This was the grey I used but uh, I mixed in a little purple from the above franken to make it a grey with a slight hint of purple. Best of all, the bottle shows this amazing duochrome effect which you can notice at the bottom!
And this is how the above two frankens look like on my nails! I used the same colour on my ring finger and pinkie btw. I'm a little bummed that the polishes don't really show off their duochrome effect when applied on the nails! But regardless, I'm in love with the two colours!
This was another crazy thing I did one night, again, while studying. I think you should get the hint that I get bored really easily while studying! I was inspired by Harry Potter! So tape, tape, tape and on with the yellow polish!
End result! It looked so rad, I swear!
And this was what I did in the evening just now! Was inspired by this
article and decided to do my own
ombre gradient
mani! I do apologize for the mess around my cuticles. I'm a really
messy painter and I tend not to remove the excess paint but just let them peel off naturally after I shower!
In case you're wondering, I used (from L-R)
OPI Over the Taupe, Color Club High Society,
Elianto Eggshell and a random white polish for the base colours! And a random black polish to do the brushstrokes!
Hope you guys enjoyed the post!
Toodles!
