Heart metal studs on gradient


If you've read my post from last day, you might have seen that me and Zara from Traces Of Polish have joined forces and organized a Valentine theme week next week (10/2-16/2) which we've named;
Valentine Polish Week. Anyone can join so please do! HERE is more info.

For the first day of this theme week I've decided to show something which isn't obviously too cute and "Valentine like". The colors aren't typical and the only thing really hinting is the hearts.

I started with the burgundy colored polish I showed last week and combined the burgundy with a warm purple color and I really like the result, the two colors looks really great together! I also added a metal heart stud on each nail. A weird thing is that I got some tc-shrinkage (which I never ever get!) so I decided to frame the nail with a black fine liner. I think the framing works, feels like it mostly blend in to the gradient. What do you think? Obvious rescue operation or a cool lucky strike creating something different? And do you think this works for a Valentine nail art or is it not Valentine enough? ;)









Polishes used:
Color Club - Slow Jam
ZTIZ nail polish (purple, number unknown)
Jordana Pop Art - Black Mark
Metal heart studs

    ...och den varma lila färgen heter? ;-) Snygg gradient och fint med hjärtat på varje nagel. En mer elegant känsla. <3 lila! :-)

      Hahah, jag måste erkänna att jag inte vet numret mer än att den heter ZTIZ. Finns på Dollarstore för 10kr st! Kleancolor har också en dupé (som jag dock inte har) och sen har jag även en från Paris Memories (som ibland finns på citygross/hobbybutiker) som kostar 10-20kr. :D

      Och tack givetvis! ;)

      Tack! Kul att du gillade det. Jag vet ju hur det såg ut innan så det blev ju en klar förbättring sen innan. Kul att testa, även om det var ett misstag/problem som skapade det :D

    Så snyggt, jag gillar verkligen inramningen. Jag har inte lyckats med det själv, jag darrar för mycket med vänsterhanden. Jag måste nog öva för jisses vad läckert det är :)

      Tack! haha, lagom är bäst ;) Ja, öva öva ;) Dock måste jag säga att detta är lite fusk, basfärgerna är så mörka så eventuella missar syns ju säkert inte :P

      Yea, I've heard a lot of people having trouble with it, me on the other hand never get shrinkages, only this time ever! For many people it helps to wrap the nail polish and SV to avoid it. And I so adore SV, it's so shiny and dries super fast! :D

      And thanks! Fun you liked it <3

    Herregud så snyggt :)
    Tycker det passar jättebra till Valentines :) Det behöver inte bara vara rosa fluff och gulligull... mörka färger kan också vara romantiska :)

    Kanon snyggt! Gillar att det var en mörk manikyr i stället för en rosa söt, detta var mycket läckrare
