May tri-polish challenge, Day 1: Dots
This
month, I'm participating in the Crumpet Nail Tarts' Tri-Polish Challenge. I'm technically not a member since
I don't have a Facebook account, but Debbie said I could play anyway, so play I
shall :) Since I don't have the inlinkz code, please go here to see the entire collection! Update: linky now added.
All the info is in the above link, but to just sum up the challenge: Each month, there are three colours and you have to pick one polish for each and use them to create four different manis. You have to use at least two of the colours in each and all three in one, and you may use black, white, silver, gold and glitter toppers.
May's
colours are grey, red and blue, and I
chose the following polishes (the same I used for my Star Trek nails, actually - I really like them together):
flormar supermatte M127, OPI Cajun Shrimp, s-he 285 |
Diesen Monat mache ich bei der Crumpet Nail
Tarts Tri-Polish Challenge mit.
Kurz zusammengefasst geht es darum,
dass jeden Monat drei Farben bestimmt werden, mit denen man vier Manis machen
muss (eine mit allen drei Farben, die anderen mit mindestens zwei). Für jede
Farbe muss man sich auf einen bestimmten Nagellack festlegen, zusätzlich darf
man Schwarz, Weiß sowie Silber, Gold und Glitzertopper verwenden. Die Bilder
werden dann am 3. und 4. Di und Do des Monats gepostet.
Hier findet ihr die ganze Inlinkz-Kollektion. Die übrigen Kunstwerke findet ihr unten in der Inlinkz-Sammlung.

I decided to try one of the "classics" I've never done, so here is my first dotticure. First, I made white dots in two different sizes and then added red and blue with slightly smaller dotting tools - and that's it!
I
don't know why I haven't done one earlier, seeing as I've had my dotting tools
for close to two months now, but it definitely won't be the last. It's so fast
and fun to make!
Usually
I
either wear plain polish (or maybe a few layers) or, if I do nail art, I
do crazy freehand stuff that takes me hours, so I was surprised to get
such a fun
and quirky result in 15 minutes. I'm not even sure why I was surprised,
logically I know nail art doesn't have to take hours, but I guess I had
to
experience it to believe it. Now I'm even more eager to try some other
classics, such as splatter or fishtail braid (though I suspect that
takes longer).
I’m
really glad I tried it, even though it isn't flawless, especially with the
white trailing on the thumb. Initially I was going to leave it shiny but since
I’ve recently fallen in love with matte, I added a Flormar matte top coat and I think it looks pretty stylish that way.
Ich möchte diese Challenge dazu nutzen, einige
“Klassiker” auszuprobieren, und beginne gleich mal mit einer Pünktchen-Mani. Ich
habe meine Dotting Tools jetzt schon seit ein paar Monaten, also weiß ich gar
nicht, warum ich das bisher nicht probiert habe – wird aber bestimmt nicht das
letzte Mal bleiben, diese Pünktchen gehen so schnell und es sieht einfach nett
aus. Am Ende hab ich noch einen Matt-Topcoat von Flormar aufgetragen, ich bin
gerade sehr begeistert von mattem Finish.
Normalerweise trag ich ja entweder nur normalen
Nagellack oder gleich so komplizierte Malereien, da bin ich es gar nicht
gewohnt, dass ein cooles Nageldesign so schnell und einfach geht. Ich war
richtig überrascht! Bin gespannt, wie das z.B. bei Splatter-Nägeln ist (ich schätz
mal andere Klassiker dauern aber durchaus länger).
Am Donnerstag gibt’s dann entweder noch einen
Klassiker (wenn er klappt) oder Freihand-Malerei – mal sehen, was es wird!

Coming
up,
I have another classic (at least I hope it works out) and some crazy
freehand stuff – let's see which one I post on Thursday.

Thank you sweetie :D We both seem to have contracted the matte bug ;)
DeleteFishtails do take a bit longer but they're not as hard as everyone says they are-it's just a matter of applying your colours in the right order!
ReplyDeleteThis looks fab! Can't wait to see what you come up with for the other 3 =)
