ABC Challenge: Letter K - Kiko Oil Blue (nº 383)

Hello there!

Easy one today for letter "K"; I think I own more Kikos than any other brand, closely followed by China Glaze. So I had loads of polishes to choose from, and yet here's another manicure from the vault! My poor archives are now filled with crappy pictures, for everything else has been posted for the ABC Challenge. At least I'm giving them a good use ;)

Today I have my first take at needle marbling, done with China Glaze liquid leather and Kiko nº 383 Oil Blue. It's close to a fail to me just depending on the day I look at the pictures. I guess I am in an optimistic mood today because I won't post it as such ;)
Apart from this I am working my ass off; just another day at the office. I hope to be back to living (hence, blogging) soon. Maybe tomorrow? Please bear with me a little more...

Today was the day the Code was presented in Madrid. Guess what? I am in Barcelona. Whatever, the manicure ideas you gave me are safe in my head and will come to light sooner or later :)

Have a nice day & go check the other challenge ladies' ideas for today!

M.

  2. From far away I thought it was a gradient. Then at a closer look I thought they kind of looked like aquatic plants. It is very interesting technique. Maybe you could do grass blades? I love the deep blue color. It is hard to resign to the fact we live at work, work comprises a large majority of our lives... and we can't escape it. I hope you have some time off soon. :)

  6. The color is not necessarily my fav out of the ones you've shown but the way you cooperate the black swirl to it is really cool and makes it look catching.
    Hehe I don't own many KIKO polishes but the first one I bought was because of you ;)
    Hope you soon have free time to blog again! Don't stress yourself too much, okay! :D

    I really like your manicure, I agree with Jenny Lee, it seems you drew aquatic plants on your nails.

  12. I just read a post by Yun, and that is the first thought that came to mind when I saw the photos...looks like wisps or tendrils of smoke. Very cool!

  15. I bet Kiko is the brand I own most of, too! And Kiko 383 is one of my favourites!

  16. Not a fail! No way, no how. It's stunning.

    Of course, we're looking at what IS. Most likely, you're looking at an unintended end result.

    Never confess such things (LOLOLOL), because from everyone else's perspective, it's freaking perfect!!!!

    I envy you your beautiful Kikos. Please keep posting 'em!

    :)
