First off, I'll admit I don't like these pictures. I was literally sweating a fever out when I took these and they just don't look as good as I'd like. This cold (or whatever it is) has kicked my ass so hard that on Monday I was bedridden all day because my body ached so much I could barely move so I feel I couldn't do this awesome mani justice.
Now for polish! I started with two coats of Pop Beauty 'Grass' (of which I don't have pictures alone because they turned out horribly), then added one coat of 'Algae Bloom', a beautiful franken by Mimi from Makeup Withdrawal! I was so excited to get some of her frankens as a bday present, I've long admired them from afar. Grass is a neon green and the perfect base for Algae Bloom's radioactive green base but it looked a little too neon for me so I added one coat of Zoya Frida to deepen the color.
Like I said, this mani was so much better in real life and could have looked better in pictures but I just wasn't up to it :\.
Unfortunately, Mimi has no plans as of yet to sell any of her pretties because she's like Gollum and wants to hoard them. I have a few more frankens that I'd like to share with you and I hope you don't hate me because they're not readily available.
Have a great day lovelies!
Amazing!! Looks like the sea!
ReplyDeleteIt kinda did! Very deep sea-like.
DeleteOoooh but if it was even better real life, it must be PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteAww hush, lol. I want to see the other frankens Mimi sent you too! They're all so pretty <3
DeleteBeautiful shade!! Your nails are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you for saying that! :D
DeleteVeeeery pretty! ^^ I'd love to see it in all it's neon-y spendeur though!
ReplyDeleteSadly, it was too neon for my camera! When I tried to take the pictures they came out funky and oversaturated :(
DeleteMan, the photos look amazing as it were, I can only imagine how it looks in real life! Love the color.
ReplyDeleteThe final result is simply stunning, I love this manicure! :)
ReplyDeletegooorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh! Love this, especially algae bloom!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great to me :) Just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better now :)
Share away! And the swatches are awesome, how can't you be happy with them??
ReplyDeleteOh, Mimi....please!?! Think of what a fine and decent thing it would be to whip up some polishes for the hungry. :) You're going to work on her, right, Kat?
ReplyDeleteThe whole mani is, as usual, yowzah. I don't see any issues. It's typical Kat Super Stuff. And...the polish is I Want.
Feel better. Your hands, though typically gorge, are very expressive. They seem to be saying, "We have a cold. Sniffle." Either that or the power of suggestion has gotten to me. I suspect it's the power of suggestion. ;)
Night.
