Hello everyone!
The challenge in this nail art competition is to make something that Mateja from Purple Glitters would like to wear, something that describes her, something that is her style or her color. If you want to participate, you still have time. The deadline is 25th October 2012 at midnight. You can find more information about the challenge here. This is what I created for this challenge.
We were also asked to write why we think the manicure represents Mateja.
I made a purple manicure and used different types of glitter but mainly purple glitter, because her blog is called Purple Glitters, and I therefor presumed that she would like that. I used the cat image because she has written that she likes cats. The nail with the cat is not covered with the holographic glitter, because I wanted the cat to stand out. And without the holographic glitter the other glitters I used are easier to see. I stamped a diagonal pattern on two nails because I have seen that some of her manicures include diagonal patterns, and I wanted to bring her style into the manicure. And I included a palm tree and some butterflies because... because... because... I think everybody like that... How can anybody not love palm trees and butterflies??? Lol! I am trying to hold my two cats made of stone, because she loves cats. Now that I have read about Mateja once more, I see that she loves all animals, so butterflies should be OK.
I'm sorry that one of the lamps that makes the purple polish look as it does in real life, also makes my skin look yellow. Below you see one photo taken in daylight, where the purple looks too blue.
What I did and used:
Linda Johansen Nail Candy: Star Gazer (3 coats)
a sponge
Linda Johansen Nail Candy: Lilac Lilly
Hello Kitty by H&M: I Love Candy
H&M: Purple (from this Summer 2012 mini 5- pack)
