Inspiration found in my new scarfInspiracija v novem šalu

I recently found a great scarf at C&A. I loved it the second I saw it and I knew I had to have it. And it was only 6,90€. :thumb:

L.A. Girl - Disco Brites - Turntable + scarfThe colors are a bit too blue. IRL it’s more turquoise, blue and teal. On the left you can see a nail polish that was sent to me by Lyra a loooooooong time ago. I’m so sorry I didn’t post it yet. The thing is. Lyra thought of this polish as “the ugliest polish in the universe”. And she sent it to me with a challenge to make it prettier. I turned out to be a challenge, because I found the polish pretty from the start. I love such shades and this one is just up my alley. So, how can I make it even prettier? Or how can I transform it so that Lyra would like it? It was a difficult task and I just didn’t have an inspiration until recently. Luckily I bought a new scarf. :silly:

First let me introduce you to the nail polish L.A. Girl – Turntable from the Disco Brites line.

Turntable was a nightmare to photograph. The original pictures were way off. I played with Photoshop a bit and I think that the color in the photo is close to what you would see in real life. Maybe it’s a touch too dark. I mean, every polish changes depending on the light and everything. Not to mention that every monitor shows colors a bit differently. I gave it my best to show you this beauty but I’m no professional. :hmm:

*Note that in the next pictures the color of the polish hasn’t been photoshoped to real life hue.

As I wrote before, the scarf was my inspiration for a manicure and that is what I came up with.

Lyra, thank you for sending me Turntable! As you already know, I love it! :rose:

I was very happy with the end result. Lyra, do you still think that Turntable is ugly?

What do you think?

Pred kratim sem v trgovini C&A našla krasen šal. Vanj sem se zaljubila na prvi pogled. Seveda je moral z menoj. K sreči je bila cena ugodna: 6,90€. :thumb:

L.A. Girl - Disco Brites - Turntable + scarf

Šal je v resnici bolj turkizen, moder in modro-zelen. Na fotografijah je vse izpadlo preveč modro. Ta problem je najbrž vsem, ki smo že kdaj fotografirali modro-zelene zadeve, dobro poznan. :hmm:

Na levi zraven šala se je znašel prav poseben lak za nohte. Pred doooooooooolgooooooooo časa mi ga je poslala Lyra. Zelo mi je žal, da ga do sedaj še nisem predstavila ali vsaj pokazala. Stvar je namreč v tem, da mi je lak bil poslan s prav posebnim namenom. Namreč Lyra meni, da je ta lak grd. In zato mi ga je poslala, da ga predstavim v seriji, ki sem jo poimenovala “Ko grdi raček postane labod”. Moj problem pa je bil v tem, da je meni ta lak izredno všeč in ga enostavno nisem imela srca dati v prispevek s takšnim imenom. Dolgo časa sem razmišljala, kako bi lahko odtenek spremenila, da bi bil morda všeč tudi Lyri. Inspiracija me je zapustila in trajalo je zelo dolgo, preden sem dobila idejo. Še dobro, da sem kupila ta šal. :silly:

Naj vam najprej predstavim lak za nohte, o katerem sem že ogromno napisala. L.A. Girl – Turntable iz linije Disco Brites.

Turntable je bila prava nočna mora za fotografiranje. Vse originalne fotografije so namreč popolnoma neuporabne za predstavitev odtenka, saj niso realnih barv. Malenkost sem se poigrala s Photoshopom. Mislim, da mi je vsaj približno uspelo dobiti bolj realne barve. Morda je zdaj malenkost pretemen. Ne vem. Problem je v tem, da se vsak lak spreminja (oziroma naše dojemanje barv) pod različnimi osvetlitvami. Da niti ne omenjam, kako različni monitorji različno prikazujejo barve ene in iste fotografije. Potrudila sem se, kolikor sem se lahko, da bi vam čim bolje predstavila ta odtenek, ampak sem le laik, ki se rad igra s fotografijami. :hmm:

*Vedite, da naslednje fotografije barvno niso točne.

Kot sem že napisala, sem v svojem novem šalu našla inspiracijo za naslednjo manikuro.

Lyra, hvala za lak! Obožujem ga! :rose:

S končnim rezulatom sem bila zadovoljna. Lyra, a še zmeraj meniš, da je Turntable grd? Ali bi morda vseeno bil lahko uporaben?

Kaj pa vi menite?

    • Lepo, da ti je všeč, kar sem ustvarila. :nails: :party: Brez problema ti ga pošljem nazaj, ker saj veš… enega že imam od prej. ;) Tega pošljem nazaj, ti pa mi pošlješ kakšnega drugega “grdobca”. :haha:

  2. Zanimiv odtenek, ki gre krasno k novemu šalu. :wub:

    Sem se ravno danes ubadala z enim nagajivim odtenkom, ki noče in noče biti zelen. :hmm:
