Collaboration with Nail2Express

With Katja from Nails2Express we decided to do a small collaboration with a fresh, spring manicure. 
As you all know I'm as far away from a nail blogger as anyone else, but I decided to give it a go.

Afer all, I did some nail blogging back in the day.
We went for a fresh Spring-inspired manicure and since the new brand (on our market - Baija) has some amazing packaging designs, we got our inspiration from that.

I decided for the Moana packaging design idea which was ... well unfortunate as I don't have any stamping designs with tropical leaves. So I did with what I already have.

I have a bunch of Essence nail polishes that somehow work really well with stamping plates. The designs aren't super sharp with them, but they do seem a little more dreamy. And because my design wasn't the same (I used a flowers design as a base), I hoped that would help with the cause.

I USED:

  • Oriflame White as a base
  • Essence 40 Play with my mint (turquoise)
  • Essence 27 Don't be shy! (light green)
  • Essence 30 Let's go! (deep blue-green)
  • Essence 09 # lucky

What I forgot is that even a manicure looks pretty in real life, the photos will pick up every single offputting detail. Oh, that odd looking cuticle? Here you go, saved in this photo. Forever :P.

That means that nail bloggers need to have immaculate nails and cuticles for the photos to look perfect. Or some amazing photoshop skills. Anyway, mad respect for them!

Anyway, I did the nail art only on four fingers to save time and to keep it simple and clean.

I think the nail art has the Moana vibe, but it's not exactly the same. I think I like it.

I may give another go at some colorful nail stamping in the future. This was completely stress-free even if I thought it will be super stressful.

What do you think, how did I do?
