Mermaiden

Once more a few polishes out from the untrieds. Room for some new polishes...

The one I really wanted to use was Catrice Iron Mermaiden (dupe for OPI Not Like The Movies). Sadly it was too sheer on its own - I merely saw a grey-ish veil on my nail with the first coat. It was clear it had to be layered over something dark.

On the left there is one coat of IM on black, on the right a coat on its own. Pretty sheer, but maybe meant for layering.

As the underwear I picked OPI Lincoln Park at Midnight (form my untrieds as well.. this I bought in November..ahem..). I don't have a shot of it on its own, but it was a pretty dark plum shade - and you can see it on the accent nail, although covered with a little something..

For the accent finger I tried layering flakies polishes: On the LPaM there's one coat of Nfu'Oh 51, Nfu'Oh 39 and lastly Nfu'Oh 50.

I loved the flakie madness!! It doesn't compensate my longing for Finger Paints Asylym or Twisted, but it's still multicoloured - at least a bit. Here are all the polishes:

Though, pretty, the manicure was too dark for the emerging summer season. I needed some bright colours on my talons, so this one had to go soon. Prepare for a colourful manicure post soon!

Green Flakies

This is yet another mani isnpired by my untrieds. This time, I picked up Catrice's sold out forever, which I felt I had to get but could not figure out, why. (Does that ever happen to you?)

So this is three coats of Catrice Sold Out Forever (had some problems with the formula - solved by adding thinner) and a coat of NfuOh 39 - except on the accent finger where you can see SOF on its own.

I wanted to let loose with my dotting tools, so I searched for matching green colours. It was handy as heck with my new swatchsicles!The simple design of dots and flowers was made with China Glaze Re-Fresh-Mint, Color Club Perfect Mol-ten and Essence show your feet In the Jungle.
