GOT Polish Challenge: PURPLE. Old and newer blurple- aubergine- purple with silver Pueen 49 stamping


Hello everyone!



I wanted to use my vintage Estée Lauder polish and some other purple- aubergine- blurple 1,5-  a few years old polishes. With the stamping the difference between the polishes doesn't show much, but luckily it showed better on the photos. :-)




I'm not sure how old the Estée Lauder polish is, but probably 10- 15 years old. The glue is still where the name probably used to be... There's not much left in the bottle, and I had to use a little thinner. I would describe the color as a dark purple with a little grey and brown mixed in, and a lot of gold/ bronze shimmer. You can see it on my middle finger. I have showed this bottle before when I showed my tiny vintage nail polish collection. You can find it here.




I've written a list below, with all the products I used, and which nail polish you can see on which finger.

Gina Tricot, Nfu- Oh, Estée Lauder, OPI, Deborah Lippmann, China Glaze, Pueen 49


Used:

Duri Rejuvacote -base coat
Gina Tricot: #102 Cabaret - thumb
Nfu- Oh: #51 -index finger
Estée Lauder: no name - middle finger
OPI: Every Month is Oktoberfest - ring finger
Deborah Lippmann: Let's Go Crazy - pinkie
Stamping plate: Pueen 49
China Glaze: Awaken -silver
XL stamper
Lint roller - to remove polish from the stamper
Scotch tape - to remove polish from the skin
Brush dipped in acetone - to clean cuticles



Sadly I have not showed swatches of these before, other than Nfu- Oh #51 over a blue polish. You can see it here. I've used Nfu- Oh #51 several times for nail art. And the OPI has been used for layering here and here.

I tried to remove the stamped polish from my skin with scotch tape, as seen on Wacky Laki. Removing stamped polish from the skin with tape, and removing it from the stamper with a lint roller has saved me a lot of time.

Below you can see the other GOT nails. I was too late to add my thumbnail.

Something New -Polish Days January


PAINTED & MAGNETIZED


Hello everyone!
(This blog seems to look best in Google Chrome)
Painted & Magnetized


For Polish Days January we are all going to make something new. I have used this technique once before, but this is the first time I use the same pattern on all nails. And this time I use red/ magenta, green and blue/ blurple, and added rhine stones. The pattern is created by first painting a pattern using magnetic nail polishes, and then make a second pattern with the magnet after applying top coat.

I wasn't good at placing the magnet this time. I wish the inner circles were placed in the middle, where the stripes met. I also wish I had managed to make a more smooth surface.

Used:

Tiny brush
Palette
Magnet: China Glaze Magnetix II
Base- and top coat
Magnetic nail polish:
Deborah Lippmann Magnetic Wave: Love is A Battlefield (magenta)
IsaDora Magnetic Nails: 854 Opposites Attract (green)
Prestige: NMM-03 Topaz (blue/ blurple)
Rhine stones (fuchsia)

The rhine stones are from one of the 5 nail art wheels I chose when I won a Chit Chat Nails Bundle Monster contest! :-) Link: Nailart Nail Art Glitters Beads Rhinestones Wheel from Bundle Monster. The other thing I chose was the 2012 stamping plates.
