Hello hi hey,
Happy Friday! Have you had a good week. I am absolutely knackered after the last few days. The trainer may have killed me and I can barely move my arms at this point. I am looking forward to taking it very easy this weekend. Do you have any fun plans?
I’m not really sure how I got to do this. I started with a polish I really wanted to use and then I tried a few colours with it and before I knew it I had something on my nails that I didn’t hate. Let me show you what I did,
I started with 2 coats of Essence – Rockablue on all my nails and left that to dry completely. I then did a stamped smoosh using Essence – Rockablue, China Glaze – What a pansy, China Glaze – Swing baby and China Glaze – Big hair & bubbly. I topcoated the smoosh and once that was dry I stamped over it with Lina Let’s doodle 01 and Mundo de Unas – Black. I topcoated again and voila!
I actually really like how this came out. It was the first time I smooshed with a glitter and it was fun. I also really like the delicate stamping with the smoosh even though it makes it a little harder to see. I was a bit confused by this base polish so let me show you that.
Essence – Rockablue
This is 2 coats with no topcoat. The name suggests that it is blue but it is definitely lavender with a touch of grey. It has a shimmer that is not in your face but gives it some depth. The formula is great and it is quite opaque too. This is a polish from the newest range update and I am quite impressed. It’s really pretty even though it has a dumb name 😉
What do you think? Have you tried any of the new range update polishes? I just want to mention something. I am struggling at the moment with my skin tone in many of my photos. It seems like some polishes either affects the camera or my skin tone. I am by no means a photography whizz and my one goal is always to get the polish as accurate as possible. The only editing I do to my photos is a watermark and some cropping. Basically that is my round about way to say, please excuse if my skin sometimes looks funky. It’s all about the polish after all yes? Have a fantastic weekend folks!
Thanks for reading,
Skin? What skin? *Goes back to look* I only ever notice the nails?? love the mani but I’m not sure about this polish. On my phone it looks grey. Mayyyyybe a little lilac but blue? Nope
Yaaassssss!!! Thank you!! I never notice the skin but then I noticed a few comments on IG and I was wondering if I am the odd one (or more odd I should say)
You are 100% right. It’s a really dumb name for the polish. There is no blue. It is definitely more lilac in the bottle but is very grey. I almost want to say lilac toned grey.
I don’t know you guys, on the monitor I’m on right now, it’s blue. Like a pale sky blue, slightly lilac… And I never look at anything but the nails, so don’t worry about your skin tone, unless someone says something and then you can just punch them 😀
Hahahaha just punch them. I like that. 😉
Ugh, different monitors, different devices. Oh boy :/
Your skin still looks healthy compared to my deadly pale phalanges 😉
And I’m with Juanita… expect maybe kick them as you might break a nail punching!
*wonders if Michelle’s still dead and if she should start to claim her plate-n-polish collection*
Wahahahaha you are the funniest. I love your pale phalanges 😉
I am definitely going with the option with the least chance of nail breaking. And NO! Back away from the stash! 😉
