The Painting Incident ?

Hey again ;)
I wanted to do a plastic wrap design using 3 colors, and figured that black ,white and purple would look good together. I wanted the black to be in focus, so I only dapped on the white and purple on some of the nail. I think the end result looks like an abstract painting or something like that.

This would look great if I had a purple top to go along with it, but to my regret I found that the only purple clothing I own is a pair of purple jeans. It's too hot to wear long trousers atm though...so much useless information ;D

As you can figure I started with a coat of black polish, covering the whole nail. Then I used a piece of Saran/Plastic wrap (or in British: cling film) to dap on the white and the purple.
I really love using plastic wrap for nail designs. You can make some really cool designs with it and it's so super easy and takes no time. 
These are the products used: (links below)

Blackout from Maybelline, White from Gosh, Disco Fever from Rimmel  .

That was all for today, thank you for reading! If you want to follow me on Facebook rather than here, you're welcome ;) Link to my Facebook page

Nail of the Month - June

And right then it was already time to announce the new nail of the month!
I have been very busy this weekend; packing all my stuff into moving boxes, painting a small dinnertable (the color was inspired by a nail polish, of course :D ), packing the trailers and today driving the stuff 200+ km to my new city, and then carrying all the boxes and furniture etc up to top floor on 5th. With NO elevators. So as you can see, there has not been much time to paint them nails. Looking forward to Monday ;) 

Well, back to NOFTM! I have been slightly in doubt which one to pick, but by dictatorial manners I have chosen that the "winner" of June is:

Water Marble with Electric Yellow

It's such a lovely covering yellow, and I think the water marble came out pretty well too :)

Let me know if you disagree with my choice ;)

See you tomorrow :D

Rimmel - Disco Fever

Hello there!
So. I bought this Rimmel polish some weeks ago, but since I was disappointed with the color, I never showed you guys. But today it's finally being launched in Matas (Danish beauty store), so (mostly) for the sake of my Danish viewers I thought that now, right now!, would be the right time to bring this one.
Rimmel is launching 18 new colors and from these 9 are selected by Kate Moss. Disco Fever is one of those 9.
But let's go to the pictures, shall we!

This polish actually reminds very much of Essie's 'The Girls Are Out' from their summer collection 2013!

Application is so easy with these new Rimmel since the brush is wide. Niiiiice!
I used two coats.
It has a very nice shiny finish and a subtle shimmer in it as you can see on these next two closeup pics:

But! How could I be disappointed with the color, you may think. Couldn't I see the color of the bottle when I bought it? Well, I bought this online and the pictures showed a more dark purple. If the picture had been true to real life I think I had not purchased this.
I mean, I love Rimmel, and the formular and application and lasting is so great. I just don't like this purple very much.
Had it been a little darker I would totally digg it. I think it will be absolutely great for toes, though... Yea! That's what I'm gonna do with this bugger! Toes!

To see how Rhythm & Blues looks like (another of the new Rimmel polishes also selected by Kate Moss) click on this link: Rimmel Rhythm & Blues

Oh wellie wellie well, too much disco for me, have a nice weekend out there!

Water Marble - summer colors !

 This is kind of an expansion of yesterdays manicure (to see, click here). I just thought that the lovely color deserved it's own post first :b I lolololove it!
Well oh well, I decided to make some water marble on a few of the nails. I didn't do all nails since I wanted the yellow to be in focus, not the water marble. 

Let's just see the result!

It didn't turn out to be the pattern I had imagined, but this is just as good. I really like it, I must admit!
A bit photo heavy today, but I just love this mani! ;)

Products used are: Maybelline Colorshow - Electric Yellow & Rimmel - Disco Fever. Both new :)
There are used two coats of Electric Yellow on pinky and index, and one coat on ring and middlef. as base coat.

 

I think the yellow looks so fine with this glitter top, though I know it's a silly background...! The yellow just stands out more. More irl than on this photo..

I definitely need to do more water marble. There are just endless possibilities in both colors and patterns! So I hope you, my dear readers, are up with that?! :)

Well, I hope you will have a nice weekend - I know I will, though I am totally depressed right now because I just found out that Nick Cave is playing tomorrow in my city and I'M. NOT. THERE! Shoot me.
See you soon,
Marie
