KONAD: China Gaze over MAC Bad Fairy

So I got the new MAC polishes in today, and I tried on Bad Fairy during lunch break. I was so impressed! Looking at just the bottle, it didn't seem all that special, but on the nails it truly is like no other polish I've ever seen. There is no way I can capture this in a photo, no matter how I try. Anyway, I was bored so I used one of my GCOCL plates to stamp some flowers over it, with China Glaze Millennium.

Just to show you how awesome Bad Fairy really is, I'll post two photos I made with my iPhone at work (please ignore the cuticles, I don't have a full mani kit at work).

Inside, artificial office lighting:


Outside, no sun:


There's one downside to Bad Fairy, and that's how sheer it is, and how little you get in the teeny bottle. It took me 4 coats for full coverage, so if you like this one, grab some backups while you can.

Orly Space Cadet

For some reason I didn't try this one yet, even though I got it a couple weeks ago. I figured this weekend would be the perfect occasion, since I'm shooting a couple of bands today and tomorrow. It's very heavy on the glitter and duochrome, for me personally a bit too much even for daytime (and that tells you something). However, for a night out this color is truly spectacular. It will shapeshift with the slightest variation in light, going from green to blue to burgundy to purple to gold.

Space Cadet is part of the Cosmic FX collection and retails for $10 (but, if you check transdesign.com and order through the A-Z list you can grab it for $7.50 ;-)

Polish/stash iPhone app

So this is slightly off topic, but I spent the past couple of days developing my first iPhone app. I've been looking for a nice app to keep track of my nail polish and makeup collection, but I never really found one that met my expectations. So I decided to build my own!

For now it is still a web-based app, which ties in to my stash website. For the tech savvy: it's made with PHP and CSS3, and runs on a MySQL database.

Check out the screenshots below!

For now this will just be for me personally, but I may actually release it in the future when everything works the way I want it (and if it won't be too expensive to do).

If you have an iPhone and want to see how it works, visit ainnir.net/iphone on your device.

Thanks for looking, and I'm looking forward to your feedback/suggestions! <3

OPI La Boheme

I can't believe I have never tried this one before. La Boheme has been residing in my Helmer for months. I never had the desire to try it since it is old formula, and I don't care for reds in general. I could never be more wrong, the photos do not do this one justice, ever. Depending on the light it will show like a classic (on the cool side) deep berry, a brownish warm burgundy, or a full ruby glitter fest in the sun.

La Boheme was released in 2003 as part of the Holiday on Broadway collection and it's getting very hard to find, but occasionally it will pop up on well known auction sites.

OPI Sand-erella over Orly Lunar Eclipse

I'm slowly getting back into the whole nail polish thing, and with the arrival of so many pretty fall releases I couldn't resist. Orly Lunar Eclipse looked so pretty in the bottle, but for $10 I have to say it is pretty disappointing. The gorgeous deep blue/purple duochrome shows as a plain dark blue glitter on the nail. There is only one solution: holo it up! And for that I used OPI Sand-erella, which worked out remarkably well considering Lunar Eclipse is B3F, and Sand-erella is not.

The main reason for me to layer these is that I had some drying issues with Lunar Eclipse by itself in combination with Poshe top coat, and it ended up denting horribly. I added some Orly Smudge fixer, then added one layer of Sand-erella, topped off with Seche Vite.. and this was hard as a rock within 10 minutes.
