After an incredible short delivery time from US to Switzerland I found them this week in my mailbox coming home from work. Is there ANYTHING better to be found in your mailbox? Well, nothing has yet topped the letter from the tax office, stating that they made a mistake in calculating my taxes and I have to pay about 2000 Swiss Francs less than originally announced (nailpolish beware, I am coming)!!!
One of the beauties ordered from The Nail Junkie is Fish from Aleta's Animal Collection. This polish is so complex - it deserves a post of it's own - it's planned for next week. For now just let's say it is grey/gold/blue/silver infused shimmer filled with sky blue round holo glitter (if they are not round, blame it on me not wearing my reading glasses).
But let's look at the ingredients I choose for this week's Skittelette:
From left: Opi Liquid Sand Tiffany, Cult Nails Faded and The Nail Junkie Fish
The recipe:
Pinkie, index and thumb: 2 coats of The Nail Junkie Fish
Ring and middle: 2 coats of Cult Nails Faded, the dots are Opi Tiffany and to mirror Fish, I placed a hex holo glitter piece on each of the dots to mirror Fish - and no, it is not fussy to get them on to the dots - actually it was a lot easier than I expected.
I kept this Skittelette quite simple - in this heat many of my polishes act weird and the waiting time in between painting the nail and "decorating" it, has grown disproportionally to my patience. In addition, Fish is so special and unique, it would be a pity to throw in a distracting color.
I don't want to spoil too much about Fish but let's just state that it behaved perfect despite the heat. Stay tuned for more about Fish....
I ordered The Nail Junkie Fish from Aleta's Etsy Shop here. I purchased Cult Nails Faded from their own website and Opi Tiffany from Nail etc.
I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

Viele Küsschen!!! xxx
Hi sweetie - Oh I knew you would love Fish - I was thinking of exactly this when I slapped it on ;-) - I thougt this is a Jezz polish all right!!! And your phrasing is spot on - it is a fairy fish :-D!!! Thank you so so so much for nominating me - feel virtually hugged here - I left you two comments, well writing only one was my intention but then it grew longer and longer so I split it in two ;-). I hope you do something really nice today - puss, puss xxx
DeleteFEESH!!!! I'll have to tell you that story sometime, but just know that that polish MUST make it into my collection. I LOVE your use of Tiffany Case and also the Fish glitters as a mirroring accent, brilliant idea, sis :)
ReplyDeleteYAY Liesl - I would love to hear that story :-)!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment - am a very happy camper ;-)!!! And hope to see Fish soon over at yours of course xxx
DeleteARGH, there you go AGAIN...you just *knew* I'd love Fish, didn't you?? :P This whole look is so cute too...I had to look for Tiffany Case twice because you were so sneaky about it, hahaha...
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa - LOL - I at least hoped so, after all you have shown me how gorgeous such polishes can look like - I so far mostly shied a bit away from metallics. Well as for Tiffany, it was planned differently - but the dots on their own frankly were just blah next to Fish so I went fishing for those hexes ;-)
DeleteWhat a gorgeous skittelette! Love this grey/blue combo <3
