2015 31DC2015 - Day 14; pink rose nails

This is actually my first try with roses even though I showed the black and white first. But since they had a dotted base they went to dots and today the prompt is flowers and her I go with my pink roses.

It's basically just freehand with polishes again. Not going some something realistic, more like a painted version of roses. The base color is quite boring on it's own but looks remarkable similar to a clay pot. I'm actually super happy with this one. :) Hope you'll like it too!







I forgot to photograph the polishes I used for this. Except my matte top coat...

But, Polishes used (of which I remember):
Manhattan (the base)
Essence - Bejios De Brazil
L.A. Colors Art Deco - Baby pink
KIKO - 843, swatch here
R de L Young - White
Essence satin matte top coat

Stripes in white over pastel green

Did some white stripes over my Manhattan - 71S manicure and below is the result. As I said in that post, 71S is indeed green, but very pale and graytoned and I thought that the white stripes maybe would enhance the effect. I don't know about that but I do like this manicure. For more and probably greener manicure's you can check out Green Wednesday. :)







Polishes used:
Jordana Pop Art - Contemporary White (have you seen how miserable my bottle looks? Must buy a new white striper)
Manhattan - 71s

Manhattan - 71s, swatch

The first polish I bought in Germany and also my first try with this brand; Manhattan. I like the bottle design and from what I've experienced the polish, formula and application is good. The most boring part is the name; 71S. 71S is a light and gray toned minty shade, slightly more to the the blue side than green. Hopefully green enough for Green Wednesday ;) The formula is crelly and the polish if filled with tiny glitters in red, purple, yellow and green. As with all crelly+glitter-combos you get this jelly-sandwich-effect which I really like. Below is 3 coats :P What do you think?








Bought at Kaufland (german grocery store) for for 1,75 euro (think I got the wrong price though, seen that the price I payed is for the smaller size bottles)
