As many of you've noticed, I 99% of the time show archive photos here at my blog. My archive is huge, even though it's getting emptier, many times I wear my nail art's for more than one day, like the one I'm wearing now (which is the spider web funky french) I'm at the fifth day! Today I'll change to something new though. Anyhow, I think the archive thing works really great with my way of blogging, I like scheduling things and preparing, that's how I'm able to post almost every single day. I'm also like this in general, I love planning stuff in advance. Now to the issue, I'm developing and mostly I try to post the "oldest" photos first so things don't get stuck in the archive. For some weeks ago I however did some cleanup in my huge archive and actually tossed away a bunch of "ugly made swatches" that I didn't think reached even my lowest standard (wrong color + weird poses and the sloppiest painting and cleanup ever). HOWEVER, I did find some old nail art, they are some what also sloppy and the execution differ from how I like my photos/manicures to look today. BUT I actually liked some of the nail art's ideas, even though the execution aren't always the best. Therefore I'm this week basically will show old nail arts. I hope you'll also will find this fun and also see that improvement does happen! ;)
Above I have a swatch of Kleancolor - Wonder Winterland (above 5 coats) but I'll do a proper re-swatch of it later, because I actually liked it despite the sheerness. I used it as a base for the below nail art below. I've basically use masking tape which I've cut thinner and then there's dots and also matte top coat. I liked the concept and colors of this. This particular photos aren't that old, I wore it in January 2013 but I have older ones for you tomorrow.
Polishes used:
Kleancolor - Winter Wonderland
Kleancolor - Neon Sapphire
Kleancolor - Pastel Blue
Kleancolor - Madly Matte
I hope you'll think this will be fun to see some old, perhaps "less good photos" for this week. And as always, what do you think of this nail art?
Kul idé att köra arkiv-tema och snygg kombination av tejp och prickar :)
ReplyDeleteJag gillar också att bära mina manikyrer flera dagar men har liksom aldrig hunnit bygga upp något stort arkiv. All heder åt dig för att du lyckats med detta ;)
Tack! haha, ja, anledningen till att mitt arkiv är så stort är att jag började fota naglar lååångt innan jag kom på att jag skulle ha blogg. :D
DeleteI also have many pictures in my archives, but they're mostly swatches, because I only started doing nail art after I started the blog. I think is great to see the evolution, and how much attention we pay to taking pictures as well :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more, it happens so much even though it's "only" about painting ones nails! :D
DeleteI should have an archive as well for the phases when I have exams and can't blog but I'm waaay too excited to show you all my nail arts that I blog as soon as I take the pictures hahaha
ReplyDeleteThe dots are a nice add, like that a lot. I should try more taped manis too
Haha.. not too bad! ;) If I post to early I can't decide which photos to share and then I take all of them and my blog get so spamed with pictures! It's like if I need some distance to be able which photos to show.. lol!
DeleteYea, me too, especially the ones with striping tape, they're awesome!
WW looks really pretty on its own! I don't mind seeing archive shots at all. They are still great nail art ideas!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Fun to hear that, because that was what I was thinking too. :D I'll show WW soon as a REAL swatch soon, it deserve some more attention I think! :)
DeleteThis is gorgeous, I love the colours you've used :D The dot nai art is beautiful. I am to have a full archive but normally my nail art is done prior to posting :( I am only good at collecting swatches because if my weekend is quiet I'll get a whole bunch done :D Having to do 5 coats would drive me crazy but the results are stunning and very unusual! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think they worked surprisingly well together too! :D
DeleteYes WW is a fun polish and I'll show it in a real swatch soon! :) xx
