Hello everyone!
Today I'm combining two challenges, so I'm using a blue vintage Dior nail polish (for the GOT Challenge) and was inspired by my blue silk top, which is my favourite piece of clothing (for Day 18 in the #31Nails2014 Challenge). Before publishing this blog post, I had hoped to make all the nail art for day 6- 17 and to have written about it here on the blog, but the submissions for the GOT challenge close today...
I'm probably using my favourite blue nail polish for the last time... :-( The bottle is nearly empty, so I really hope I'll find a dupe! Christian Dior #489 Cobalt is one of my oldest nail polishes. I've written about Dior Cobalt here, and about my tiny vintage nail polish collection here. If you know how old this bottle is, please let me know. My guess is that it's from 1993. So although I've showed this polish before, I had to take some last pictures of it on it's own too. And none of the photos show how beautiful this polish is.
2 coats, no top coat: (IRL it looks shiny.)
This is the first time I'm wearing Cobalt with nail art. I just used some Joby rhinestone stickers. I like them and they don't cover to much of the polish. And sealed with a generous coat of Seche Vite they stayed on.
Products used:
Christian Dior #489 Cobalt
Joby Nail Art: #351 Gemstone
and IsaDora #600 Clear as base coat and Seche Vite top coat.
and a false nail for my broken pinkie nail
Now I'm curious about how many are participating, and what they made for these challenges. If you want to, you can take a closer look at the blue nails and the other old blue nail polish bottles, by clicking on a thumbnail below.

Aww, that's very festive - and blingy :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes it's blingy, because this top is something I would only use for parties. Have you seen this vintage Dior polish before? Do you remember how old it is, and from which collection it is?
Deleteoooh that is beautiful! I could never wear the jewels (I'd either knock them off straightaway or pick at them) I love that blue polish.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it! Lol! I did bump into things, but they were very well sealed with top coat, and I didn't loose any hairs or scratch my self. But when I had to remove this, I managed to pick them off, but you need to use a little force! :-)
DeleteSorry to hear about the polish, I hope you'll find another blue just as good and beautiful as this one :)
ReplyDeleteLove your manicure with the big studs :)
Thank you! Yes, I hope so too. If I knew how little was left in the bottle, I think I would have saved it, and although two challenges should be good enough reason to use it, I was a little sad... :-) In 20 years I'll try again with a little thinner.
DeleteThey are amazing. I love rightstone stickers. Lovely nail art, girl.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Me too. :-) They are very easy to use, but make a big difference.
