Chanel Tulle 131, Holiday 2003 - Collaboration Saturday


Can you believe it? Another week just vanished, so it's time for Collaboration Saturday together with my friend Elena from PicturedTinsel!
Chanel Tulle 131 is from the 2003 Holiday collection. It’s a mauve leaning nude with tiny silver glitters. It might not be a color for me, nor one I normally would buy, but I’m still happy to have it in my collection. This is two coats without a top coat.
As I said, not really my color, but i know a lot of you are fans of nudes, and I think the micro glitters makes it interesting...
I hope Elena has something more colorful for us, let's have a look...

Snake with tulle – slange med tyl, wildlife/vilde dyr animal print




Dansk, se længere nede.
Over my base coat, I chose five different colors for my snake with tulle experiment and added 1 coat of each. Thumb: China Glaze Lighthouse, index: Essie Trophy Wife, middle: China Glaze Draped in Velvet, ring: China Glaze Red Pearl, pinkie: Depend 041.
When dry, I used some silver acrylic paint on a makeup sponge, that I dipped in the silver. It’s important to dab most of it away on a piece of paper before dabbing you nail, because it’s easy to flood the tulle, so that you end up with no or a smeared pattern. You can use polish too, but I prefer the advantages of acrylic color.
Then I dabbed one tulle covered nail at the time, and it’s important to tighten the tulle around the finger, also at the top. You can use other kinds of mesh fabrics, but size matters :)
I was not so happy with the thumbs, they looked kind of washed out, so I took a little black acrylic (also dabbed most of the sponge on paper first) and dabbed my thumbs again, and now they were better.
Jeg valgte5 forskellige farver til mit slange med tyl eksperiment, og jeg lagde kun et lag af hver farve over min base coat. Tommel: China Glaze Lighthouse, pegef.: Essie Trophy Wife, langemand: China Glaze Draped in Velvet, ringf.: China Glaze Red Pearl, lillef.: Depend 041.
Da lakken var tør brugte jeg acrylfarve i sølv og et lille stykke makeupsvamp, som jeg duppede i farven. Det er vigtigt at duppe det meste af før du dupper neglen, for det er let at ”oversvømme” tyllen, så du ender med et udtværet resultat. Du kan også bruge neglelak til at duppe med, men akrylfarven er let at fjerne igen, hvis resultatet ikke er OK.
Dernæst duppede jeg hver enkelt negl, og det er vigtigt at stramme tyllen godt til både i siderne og i toppen af fingeren, som du kan se på billedet. Du kan bruge andre hullede stoffer eller materialer, men her betyder størrelsen noget ;)
Jeg var ikke så tilfreds med tommeltotterne, sølvfarven virkede lidt bleg og udvasket, så jeg gentog, men denne gang brugte jeg en sort farve, gentog processen med at duppe det meste af, og nu var jeg mere tilfreds.
