Hi Goddesses
It was great to see so many wonderful ladies take part in the Challenge yesterday. I think there were about 50, which is an awesome response :) Today we turn to Silver, and I actually ended up dong 2 manis.
The base for today is the STUNNING Jade Psicodelica. Amazing. Holo does NOT get better than a Jade. In terms of quality, price and spectacularness, I would recommend Jade over any other brand, and this beauty is no exception.
This is quite a white silver - light enough that you could wear it as a holo top coat. I've got 2 coats and then Poshe on here. Gah, can't stop staring !!!
So, the first time I wore it, I used Cheeky CH10 and Born Pretty Store blue stamping polish to add this clockwork design.
I then wanted to embellish it a little, so I added some clear rhinestones, and ooooh, now it looks like bubbles in the water! Ah! And then I trotted off to take my photos, only to discover that Beth had changed the settings on my camera so that everything had this god-awful urine-soaked lighting effect. And could I change it back? No I could not.
Ggggrrr... So a couple of days later, I reset the camera (ooops, I hadn't realised there was a reset button) and decided to suck it up and redo the mani. More than anything, it bugged me that you weren't going to see how beautiful the Jade was.
This time I decided to go for silver on silver, and did some simple rhinestone stuff. I am very new to this and let me tell you - it's not as easy as The Nailasaurus et al make it look! There was me all excited just to get the square rhinestone ON my thumb, and then I realised I had to level them up !! Tricky. Especially for those not blessed with patience :)
Tomorrow we move on to Gold - and didn't Ashley from Smashley Sparkles do an awesome job with the graphic ??
Wow so many lovely manicures! I love silver.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Layla holos? I don'y own any Jade, but I have 2 Laylas and they are the most holographic I own by miles and miles.
Hi Cazzy. Yes, I did try the Laylas and I found them really over-rated. Plus, it annoyed me that they were too temperamental to work with my normal basecoat lol. I lost patience :) x
DeleteI agree application wise they are pretty terrible. But then I look at my nails afterwards and feel like it's all worth it lol!
DeleteThat holo is beautiful! x
ReplyDeleteLovely - I especially like your ring finger, the triangular rhinestones are gorgeous. As for the colour...words cannot describe how much I want it!
ReplyDeleteI love them both! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI think they're both awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteMy first Jade polishes arrived today, I am so impressed with them! I love the thumb with the stones lined up, I've just ordered some silver metal ones after being so impressed by a nailasaurus mani!
ReplyDeleteI know, she makes it look really easy lining up the glitters so evenly! The first time I tried it, it was chaos. But you really do get better at it, I saw improvement after doing a few nails! I really like your second mani better.
ReplyDeleteI love this Jade--it's so soft but still so stunning! I need to quit "meaning to" get some and pull the trigger already. ;)
ReplyDeleteWaw ! The one with rhinestones is magical ! Love it !
ReplyDeleteI love them both - but I'm more partial to maybe the one with the blue stamping :)
ReplyDeleteThat Jade is something else. It truly is pretty. I hate when my camera gets fudged up. I think I took 50 pictures of my shoe one time trying to get it back on the correct setting.
