Velvet Diamonds

Just after discovering the sand and structure series by ANNY I saw another new series by misslyn - Velvet Diamonds. As the name suggests the eight new polishes are sparkling and build structured surface after drying. The price is moderate with 5,95€ for a 10ml bottle.

I had the opportunity to test every colour on my nails. And here we are:

• 59 sparkling orange
• 70 spark of hope
• 24 elegance
• 12 universe
• 78 dazzling water

And here the rest:

• 36 champagne
• 47 bright love
• 85 royal blue

And here once again to see the structured surface:

I found the tone 78 dazzling water to be very similar to 690 after dinner by ANNY, if not ompletely the same. It's not particularly strange, because the manufacturer of both brands is ICB innovative cosmetic brands GmbH, which makes also Artdeco, Make Up Factory, BeYu ... I guess the whole range of German polishes. Okay, essence and catrice belong to another company, or is cosnova not the German company? Also the royal blue was pretty similar to ANNY 's blue hypnosis.

So here these twins again:

Is here anything different on two polishes? I don't really see it.

A new technique

Day 17 of Laid Back 31 Day Challenge - A new technique

Well, I found water marbling amazing when other people do it on tutorials. But my trial is not that pretty. God knows how much polish I used for experimenting, what colours/ polishes would work and how to create some kind of good patterns... *sigh* The only thing I discovered so far, that among not expensive polishes the best choice would be p2 and misslyn, then some colours by catrice and essence would also work. Metallics and other polishes with glitters are generally bad for water marbling.

So and here is my miserable failure with egg colours since we have Easter today. White is snow-white by misslyn, and yellow polish is p2 Color Victim 790 summer to go!

Cheer Up Mani

Day13 of Laid Back 31 Day Challenge - Cheer Yourself Up Mani

To cheer up you need something sparkly, funny and bright. So I found a good occasion to use the essence nails design kit "Vintage District" with their big blue glitter:

One of my favourite colours is turquios. So I painted all nails with "boat trip" by p2. Unfortunately my camera doesn't do a good job for some colours like turquios or pink.

My accent nail has stripes of misslyn "heaven on earth", butter LONDON "Victoriana" and Golden Rose matte blue (maybe 10 is a number of that shade, but I'm not sure).

Then I planted a glitter per a stripe so that I've got another stripe across the tricoloured stripes.

Saran Wrap

Day 9 of laid back 31 days challenge - Saran wrap.

This is a technique to use the saran wrap (dt. Frischhaltefolie) on the second still wet layer, which is painted over another well dried colour. The saran wrap takes some amount of the polish irregularly so that some mix of two colours is created.

As a base I took "las vegas" by Misslyn. The second colour is "Dramatic Blossom" by alessandro. 

The second layer looks darker then the colour really is. Inm y opinion it looks more like crackle polish.

Purple

Laid back 31 days challenge. Day 5 - purple.

I wanted to try striping tape mani which was done by someone for Christmas themes. There is alessandro Dramatic Blossom as base, alessandro Midnight Rebel, Misslyn las vegas and essence topper 03 Crazy in Love from "hugs & kisses" over the base.

Heaven on Earth

Сёння на мае пазногці спусцілася неба - "Неба на Зямлі", так называецца адзін з лакаў "Місслін" нямецкай фірмы ICB innovative cosmetic brands GmbH. Іх сайт знаходзіцца тут. Па кошту лак не самы дарагі, але з амаль што 5 еура і не самы танны. Фірма сцвярджае, што суадносіны цаны і якасці ў іх найлепшыя. Неяк трэба будзе спытаць, колькі часу ўтрымаецца гэты лак на маіх пазногцях без адслойвання.
 
Today I have got "Heaven on Earth" or on my nails :)

It's a polish Misslyn by a German company ICB innovative cosmetic brands GmbH. Can be found here. The price for Misslyn polishes is 4,85€. Not much, but not as cheap as Essence. They claim to offer the best cost/performance ratio. Someday I'll let that polish on my nails and see how long woult it be able to stay without chipping.

Колер вельмі падобны да бэбі-блю. 

It's light blue matte colour like baby-blue.

На наступных фатаграфіях я скарэктавала баланс белага, але не магу з упэўненасцю сказаць, што яны перадаюць сапраўдны колер на ўсе 100%. 

On these pictures I corrected the white balance, but I am still not sure if it shows the shade 100% true.

Раней я збіралася выпрабаваць лак "Неба і Снег" з калекцыі "Гуканне Сібіры" (Catrice) паверх светлай асновы. І вось што атрымалася:

Then I wanted to try out the polish from the Catrice collection Siberian Call over a light base. And here we are:

Тэматычна ўзгоднены ўзор аздобіць акцэнтны пазногаць: шаблон для стэмпінгу Sugar bubbles store special 02. Калі Сібір, то павінны быць маразы і іней на вокнах. 

And for an accent nail I took a stamping plate with the matching theme like frost on window. Sugar bubbles store special 02.
