Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge - 'Something Tropical'

For this weeks GOT Polish Challenge, the theme was 'something Tropical'.
I made a gradient inspired by a tropical sunset with flowers and studs.
It did not come out the way I wanted it to, but this is my take on this weeks challenge:

First I painted my nails white, when it dried I used a makeup sponge for the gradient. All polished used are several years old, as is the point with this challenge. After the gradiënt dried I stamped flowers on it with a Konad plate and Konad black stamping polish and added a bright blue stud on each flower.

In real life it looked amazing, trust me! The colors looked much brighter, the gradiènt looked smooth and the stamping looked great. and then came the macro-shot :-(
I hate the macro-shot for ruining my tropical mani.

Despite how my mani showed up on the pictures, I do like the gradient. I will do more attempts to get it perfect.

So this was my tropical manicure for this week. I'm not happy with how the pictures turned out, but still the colors look nice together.

I'm really looking forward to next weeks challenge, the theme for may 1st is flowers and I have some great decals I want to use for it!

Thank you so much for watching!!!

Jade - Mystic Gold ( Holográfico)

A simple and quick mani I did last week: Jade Mystic gold with a small pink neon stud.
I didn't want to spend alot of time on polishing and doing cleanup, so I chose a polish that kind of matches my skin, dries quickly and added a fun pink stud so it looked like I made an effort (but we know I really didn't) :-)

Color
A darker gold with pretty holographic particles.
I made most of the pictures in direct sunlight so the color might seem brighter than it really is, because of the sunlight and the bright holo.

Application
The polish is very thin, but builds up nicely after the second coat.
If you aren't going to make pictures with macroshot, you probably only need two coats.

I received alot of compliments on this quick and easy mani.
And I only spent 10 minutes on doing my nails! So I might try this mani again and again with different colors :-)

This brand Jade can be bought from Llarowe, I believe it is a permanent collection (but I don't know for sure). The next one on my wishlist is a yellow holographic Jade, wich I hope to buy real soon!

Thank you for watching!

I hope you have a great day! 

Love,

Inge (PolishSis)
