Pink Challenge: Day 2 by GejbaPink Challenge: manikura št. 02 by Gejba

This challenge is perfect opportunity to try out techniques I didn’t use in a while, to do manicures that are out of my comfort zone … things that I normally wouldn’t be inclined to do.  :silly:

I’m not a fan of stamping over shimmery/glittery base. For unknown reason I prefer metallic image over creme base. Second thing that you’re not very likely to see on my nails are romantic manicures. Todays combo falls in both categories. :biggrin:

Here are the products I used for day 2 pink challenge manicure: Essence Love This City, Inglot 205, Manhattan Pro Mat Top Coat, Essence Stamp Me! White and H7 fauxnad image plate.

I started with Essence Love This City as a base color and then applied Inglot 205 flakies all over the pink base. To finish the manikure I added flowery design from H7 image plate + Essence Stamp me! White in opposite corners. The final effect reminded me of lacy satin … but I couldn’t really capture the effect on the photo.

Shine was really annoying me, so I mattified the mani with Manhattan Pro Mat top coat.

But in the end I didn’t prefer matte finish over glossy one. Yeah – I’m hard to please.  :haha:

Which version would you rather wear – glossy or matte one … or neither? :silly:

Ena izmed stvari nad katero nisem navdušena je “štempljanje” čez šimrasto/bleščičasto bazo. Iz neznanega razloga preferiram kovinske vzorce čez krem osnovo. Drugi tip manikur, ki se skoraj nikoli ne znajde na mojih nohtih, so romantične manikure. Današnja kombinacija spada v obe kategoriji. :biggrin:

Izdelki, ki sem jih uporabila za manikuro št. 02: Essence Love This City, Inglot 205, Manhattan Pro Mat Top Coat, Essence Stamp Me! White and H7 fauxnad image plate.

Začela sem z Essence Love This City kot baznim lakov, nato pa sem čez nanesla eno plast Inglot 205 laka s krpicami. Za piko na i sem dodala v nasprotne kote še rožice z H7 šablone + Stamp me! White lak. Končni efekt rahlo spominja na čipkasti saten … kar pa nisem ravno uspešno ujela na fotografiji.

Lesk mi ni bil najbolj všeč, zato sem manikuro zmatirala z Manhattan Pro Mat nadlakom.

Na koncu mi matirana verzija ni bila bolj všeč kot originalna izvedba. Ja – me je kar težko zadovoljiti. :haha:

Katera verzija je vam bolj všeč – prva ali druga … ali pa nobena? :silly:
