Summer Challenge Day 6: Violet
I had actually been looking forward to violet, because purple is my
favourite colour nail polish. Then I realized that violet and purple aren’t the
same colours… Damn!
So I thought I’d make this mani a little bit festive. I wanted to try
out Kleancolor’s “Sparkle Purple”, which is a clear base with violet and purple
glitters. I decided to layer it over another polish, since I could see it would
take quite a lot of layers to make it opaque, and Kleancolor isn’t exactly known
for making quick dry polishes!
So I applied two coats of Hot Makeup’s “Purple Rain Drops”. I thought it
was a metallic kind of polish, but it turned out to be a jelly. Ugh! Anyway –
it was “only underwear”, so I thought it would be alright.
Two coats, no top coat:
Here is two coats of “Sparkle Purple” over two coats of “Purple Rain
Drops”.
I am so disappointed over this mani, and I hate being disappointed over
glitters. But it’s so not what I had in mind.
So please be gentle when you comment!
You should check out these other Danish girls’ blogs to see what they
came up with for violet nails:
Stay tuned the day after tomorrow - same bat time, same bat channel -
for black and white nails!
I don't quite see how you can be disappointed, I like the finished result.
ReplyDeleteBut I agree Purple Rain Drops isn't very interesting in itself..
Thank you :)
DeleteFirst of all I was disappointed in how I could misjudge a polish that much. I was so sure it was metallic, so imagine my surprise after the first coat O_o
And I had expected more sparkles from Sparkle Purple, really.
Drying time was a killer. Way too long for my patience, LOL!
Purple Rain Drops is pretty, but nothing special. Sparkle Purple looks very very pretty and in my opinion there is really anything to be dissapointed about!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I think Purple Rain Drops needs to disappear from my collection, one way or the other! :D
DeleteHm, maybe not the best mani I've seen. But definitly not bad!
ReplyDeleteThanks. They can't all be equally good :)
DeleteThis looks sparkly and pretty. I love kleancolors, but I cant believe how long they take to dry. They still dent the next day.
ReplyDeleteI really love their polishes too, especially as toppers, since that actually has a chance to dry :)
DeleteJeg synes nu det ser super fint ud!!
ReplyDeleteHvor køber du dine Kleancolor henne?
Tak skal du ha'!
DeleteJeg har købt dem på Beautyjoint.com :)
It might not be what you wanted, but it is a stunning glitter! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm my own worst critic, I know that. Thanks! :)
DeleteI like how this combo looks (sorry about the drying time)
ReplyDeleteThank you - and yes, drying time is a real killer. I get so bored from waiting :D
DeleteCan't believe how long it took to dry! the glitter topcoat does add something extra to it. I quite like the colour combination with the two though x
ReplyDeleteThanks. I don't know why they take so long to dry! It's hard enough for me to stay away from dents with polishes with normal drying time :D
DeleteWait--violet and purple aren't the same color? I use them interchangeably.
ReplyDeleteYou get two different colour scemes if you google the two. But what do I know :)
DeleteI like this combo a lot! Beautiful!! ^.^
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
DeleteSuch a pretty combination!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I wish I had done something more with it :)
