Catrice Limited Edition Celtica

It hasn't even been Winter here but we are already longing for Spring.
At least, I am, and especially colorwise.
I'm loving the soft pastels and brighter colors.

Catrice's new limited edition "Celtica" is a nice transition towards these Spring colors.

It comes with 4 limited lacquers and pink/magenta nail flakes (crushed shell).
I only bought the lacquers.

From left to right:

- C01 Paralilac

- C02 Pinkadoxa

- C03 Love, Peach & Harmony

- C04 LOVEnder

 

I haven't got swatches for you but if you want me to swatch one or more...please let me know!

 

I did make a nail art with it.

 

As base I used C04 LOVEnder. Two coats was enough for good coverage.

Then I used C02 Pinkadoxa and C03 Love, Peach & Harmony to watermarble.

The polishes are quite thick (which should be as they are supposed to give a kind of gel look) and therefore hard to use for watermarbling.

Maybe a little thinner can do the trick...

 

However...this didn't completely turn out the way I wanted so I did some touching up with the same two polishes and a nail art brush.

The complete base color (C04) was covered and when I'm showing a limited edition I think you must at least see all the colors.

Therefore on each nail (except the accent) I placed two stripes with C04 LOVEnder.

On the accent I used C01 Paralilac to paint the heart accent as it's almost Valentine :D

Just leave your link in the comments and I will get to it!

 

 

Day 251) Psychedelic nail art

Okay, today's nail art just happened.
I've been playing around with water marbling as I was trying to get some panorama effect (water marble that runs trough over all the nails).
What I had in mind didn't work out.
I did achieve some kind of panorama effect but it didn't take any marbling activities; I simply dropped color after color on the water service and dipped my 4 nails in it (together).

Outcome is okay I think.
I was kinda bored with the colors and took my striper brush and black polish to spice it up a bit.
Free handed some designs and it turned out to be quite psychedelic...and I couldn't think of a better name ;D

Day 216) Water marble on water marble

Today I had to try a new polish.

 

Color Club - 959 Sparkle and soar

 

Two thin coats is enough for a good coverage.

It's a beautiful orange with a yellowish/goldish glitter which gives it that sunny look.

 

For the nail art I just tried some things out.

The outcome is different from what I've expected but it's okay I think.

 

 

I started with a water marble with clear polish and a pearly white.

Then I made a pearly white area in the middle of the nail and topcoated it.

After some drying I did another water marble with clear polish and "Sparkle and soar".

Topcoat and done!

 

I'm not sure what to think of it...but it is something new...

 

Day 208) Water marble nail art

Just a quick water marble today.
I'm off for some family time!
