Mani AND Camera FAIL!

Good Morning my Lovely readers!

I hope the day is going well for you so far!

Alittle later today I will post the swatches of my EvilShades order!  they are pretty terrific!  Please note that I will ALWAYS be 100% legit with you guys!  It doesn't matter whether I am showing you something I was given, something a friend has asked me to show, or something I bought...If I like it I will say so, if I don't I will say that as well!

On the the FAIL!!!!!

I decided Sunday night that I wanted my Konadicure for the next few days to be BRIGHT!  I had a design in my head, inspired yet again my the lovley and talented konADDICT , and started rummaging thru my polishes.  I came out with Sinful Colors "Let's Talk", a massively gorgeous purple shimmer, I will probably buy 2 or 3 backups of this, I never wanna live in a world without this color!  I also came out with China Glaze "Sexy in the City"  a drop dead sexy teal with a lighter blue shimmer.

I attempted to take bottle pics and base pics btu my camera hates these colors.  almost ALL of the pics came out looking liek I was wearing 2 blue polishes!  seriously?  what is that about?

After much fiddling with settings and trying to trick the camera into thinking it was actually purple and teal, I came out with a few pics that are close...but no cigar!  So here ya go...

Bottle Pics:

The weird incandescent light and the slight blur was the only way to get this even close!

So I started with 1 coat of Sinfuls "Let's Talk"  Wow, a Sinful that a 1 coater?!?!?!  AWESOME!

Then I made a diagonal stripe of the Sexy in the City.  In retrospect I should have laid down a white stripe first, because it came out looking way more blue than it should have due to the base color.  But once I realized this, I was too tired to fix it.  I plan to use this combo again, So at least I know for next time!

Here's the base:

Not 100% accurate, but close!

Ok, next I took out the beloved M57, and stamped the Leopard Lace design on top of the stripe, in black.

Then I used the Zebra pattern to stamp on either side of the lace, also in black.

This was obviously too dark!  Pretty, but I wanted the pattern to pop more!  So, after seeing how dark it was, I did the other hand with Millennium instead of black.

 

That's better....but...not what I saw in my head.  POO

The chrome gave me fits too!  I think my Halogen table lamp was putting off too much heat!

This will definitely be attempted again, but with lighter colors!

That's all I have for you today my wonderful readers!

I hope you all have a fantastic day!
