It’s time for a copycat mani. At some point we’re all copycats, aren’t
we? I mean, only few of us actually come up with something original, like, for
the very first time. Today I’m going to try and copy a mani Kas made back in
June. Kas
is a blogger I admire a lot – she’s so super talented and has many great and
unusual ideas. I like that.
Here’s my copycat mani:
And here’s Kas’ original mani (click here

Mine is obviously not as perfect as hers, but I’m satisfied with it
anyway. I did the mani in a different order than Kas too. I started out with
painting my nails white – I used a single coat of NailNation 3000’s “White” –
my new favourite white crème polish. When that was dry I taped the tips of my
nails and painted the blue. I used a textured polish from Sephora’s X-series:
Vortex. It’s an amazing shimmery texture! When that was dry I painted the black
stripes on the tips. I used Heavy Metal from Manic Panic. I didn’t use striping
tape for this step like Kas did – I was afraid I might pull some of the polish
right off again.
There is a little bit of the blue that bled through the tape and onto
the white. Did you noticed that before I mentioned it?
I ended up topcoating it because I wanted to see what it looked like. I
love the final result:
And here are the three polishes and the topcoat I used for my copycat
mani.
Who would you have copycat’ed if you were to do this challenge?
I can’t wait to next week, where the challenge is Dark.

ReplyDeleteYou don't know how happy that makes me, thank you! :)
DeleteOoo I like it, vortex is a stunning blue and no I didn't notice the little bit of blue that bled through till you mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! It is really nice to hear that it's only me noticing the little flaws :)
DeleteThis looks really good. I love that blue :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I do too :)
DeleteFab recreate - I love the textures in the polishes you chose too :) I think we all see flaws in our own work but trust me, these look great.
ReplyDeleteYay, thank you! I know we're all our worst critics, it's so hard not to be :)
DeleteYou did a fabulous job! I feel like a proud mother :P
ReplyDeleteI almost got Vortex(it's super pretty), but I decided against it because I thought it was too close to Essie Lots of Lux(which I bought on sale).
Ahahahaha, that's really funny! :D
DeleteI have also got Lots of Lux, but I must admit that I do like Vortex better. I know it is more expensive too, but I'm willing to pay that - and then get rid of the Essie :)
Love this. Fabulous! x
ReplyDeleteYay, thank you! x
