Catrice Purple Passion Deep Purple

Nadat ik een post van Scandalously Polished over deze collectie zag heb ik deze toch maar eens uit mijn helmer gevist want het was nog steeds een untried.

English: After seeing a post at Scandalously Polished about this collection I decided to dig this one up from the helmer because it was still in my untrieds.




Deep Purple doet haar naam eer aan. In het schemerdonker lijkt ze zwart maar in het licht is het een heel dieppaarse rokerige vampy paars.

English: Deep Purple lives up to it's name. In low light she looks black but in the light she is a very deep purple smokey vampy purple.



De andere reden dat ik deze voor de dag heb gehaald is omdat Thess me wees op Diamond Cosmetics Crushed Velvet, een soortgelijke rokerige donkerpaars, die ze wel wat voor mij vond. Helaas heb ik die nog niet anders had ik een vergelijking gedaan maar ze had wel gelijk, ik houd van dit soort kleuren!

The other reason I dug this one up is because Thess pointed out Diamond Cosmetics Crushed Velvet, a similar smokey dark purple, which she thought was right up my alley.
Unfortunately I don't have that one yet otherwise I would have done a comparison but she was right, I love these kinds of colours!



Bedankt voor het kijken!

English: Thanks for looking!

Day 107

No more nerd nails!! (at least for a while) I'm sure some of you are relieved!! :-P I guess this post COULD be considered nerdy, if not only the title, since it's a Harry Potter reference to the merpeople. Anyway... Ever since I bought Hard Candy Break Up, I've totally thought it looked like fish scales, so naturally, last night, when I decided to do a mermaid theme, I HAD to use it, and I have to say, even though there's only a bit here and there, it looks like the light is reflecting off of the scales!



I used:

Thumb:

Sally Hansen Envy Frost (got at Dollar Tree- can't find a link to purchase any online!!) :( as a base, with Hard Candy Break Up over it, http://www.artofbeauty.com/scrpt/scr.dll/Item?Item=1869&brand=2&d=Zoya_Nail_Polish_|_Suvi applied with Konad Plate m57 for the scale lines, Urban Outfitters Matte Nude 3 for the belly, and Zoya Dea for the belly button. Zoya Envy was used for the waist. :)

Index:

Sally Hansen Funky Frost (another Dollar Tree purchase- and no online link to be found) as a base, Hard Candy Break Up over it, then with Sinful Colors What's Your Name sponged on the tips and a bit on the sides. For the scales, I used China Glaze DV8 applied with Konad Plate m57. Next, I used Urban Outfitters Matte Nude 3 for the belly, Zoya Dea for the belly button, and China Glaze Metallic Muse for the waist, which was also outlined with China Glaze Liquid Leather.

Middle:

Zoya Juno as a base with Zoya Savita matte sponged on the tip and sides, and Hard Candy Break Up on top of that. For the scales, I applied Zoya Pippa with Konad Plate m57. Next, I used Urban Outfitters Matte Nude 3 for the belly, Zoya Dea for the belly button, and OPI Parlez Vous OPI? for the waist, outlined in China Glaze Liquid Leather.

Ring:

MAC Phosphor as a base, with Urban Outfitters Orange 2 sponged on the tip and sides, and Hard Candy Break Up over that. For the scales, I mixed China Glaze Salsa and Urban Outfitters Orange 2 on Konad Plate m57. Next, I used Urban Outfitters Matte Nude 3 for the belly, Zoya Dea for the belly button, and Urban Outfitters Orange 2 outlined in China Glaze Salsa for the waist.

Pinky:

Zoya Jo as a base, with American Apparel Mount Royal sponged on the tip and sides, and Hard Candy Break Up over that.

Everything was topped off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat. :)
