#31DC2015 Day 6- Violet

Ah well... we all gotta have nail fails sometimes. This idea seemed pretty cool in my head but upon execution... no. Just no. I might try to get this design right one day, revenge and all that, but this is not a good nail art (although I'd like to acknowledge that three years ago I'd consider this a success. Progress!)

Well... when you have to do a whole new nail art every day for a month, you're gonna have some fails. And because of the rapid pace, you gotta post what you have!

Polishes used:
Color Club- Disco Dress (darker purple cream)
Golden Rose Color Expert- 66 (light purple lines)
Chic- Dark Purple (glitter)

NOTD: The Impossible Dotticure

Every now and then I will encounter a nail polish color which for no particular reason freaks my camera out. No matter what kind of lighting or angle or camera settings I use, the color simply will not photograph correctly. Today I have one for you.

מידי פעם אני אתקל בצבע לק שמישומה מטריד את המצלמה שלי. לא משנה איזה תאורה או זווית או הגדרות אני מנסה. הצבע פשוט לא מסכים להצטלם. היום יש לי בשבילכן אחד כזה

This is how it looks on camera:

Nice simple sky blue, right? NOPE! It's actually a very delicate periwinkle. The closest I got to an accurate shot was a random blurry picture I took on the bus:

מדובר בתכלת פשוט, לא? ממש לא!!! יש ללק הזה דווקא גוון שנוטה לכיוון סגלגל עדין. יש לי תמונה אחת שצילםתי באוטובוס שלפחות מתקרב לצבע האמיתי:

Even this one isn't entirely perfect, but it's close enough. That having been said, I still managed to do a pretty cute dotticure over it, so here are some proper (if somewhat color-innacurate) shots of it:

אפילו המונה הצאת לא מושלמת, אבל היא מספיק קרובה. בכלאופן, המניקיור עצמו יצא ממש חמוד אז הנה כמה תמונות (לא ממש מדיקות בצבע אבל) להציג אותו:

Colors used:
Ga-de - Azure Blue (base color)
Ga-de - Blue Angel (light dots)
Ga-de - Majorelle Blue (medium dots)
Ga-de - Sapphire Blue (dark dots)

Fail! (...and one swatch)

Well, I spent a large part of the day swatching, and upon closer examination, my what a mess I've made! Behold the wreck I presumed to call a swatch:

 

So clearly, there are a few issues here: 

1.  Get hold of the camera manual (it's borrowed) and learn how to take proper macro images. 
2. Figure out lighting. This was taken indoors, with flash. Below the jump there's another one in sunlight, but that one didn't fare any better. 
3. Learn how to do freaking swatches! The polish is a huge mess, running everywhere, and I need to make it neater. So, as long as I'm posting this up, I might as well talk about the polish too, right? More swatch talk, as well as more fail after the jump!
