Ravenclaw nails series!

Think you're a Ravenclaw? Or perhaps you simply love the color blue? Hopefully you'd find something from the palette, posted over this week, that represents your personality.

Go claws!

Project in the works

Ever since I'm sorted into Ravenclaw by Pottermore, I've gotten all hyped about house pride! Can you blame me? You run into the nicest people in Ravenclaw!

So here's what I'm planning, some Ravenclaw girly nails for the Ravenclaw girl of every personality! Hopefully I'd be able to get down to business this weekend :)

I know I've shared this before but it's just so pretty!

Would you consider becoming a nail model?

New poll up now! Share your thoughts with nailify, what's your take on becoming a nail model?

If I were to gather nail models to test out designs, and track how 'popular' they become among their peers, would you volunteer to become a nail model? In return, all nail polishes and designs will be supplied by nailify for free, no commercial value attached. Purely a social experiment :)

So what are your thoughts? If my options do not include your opinion, just drop them into the chatbox and I'd respond to them as soon as I can.

Looking forward to the commencement of my social experiment! :)
Leave your nail in the comment box if you're interested (for Singapore folks only, unfortunately :( )

Peacock watermark experiment

It's just as suggested by the title, I decided to create a watermark designed to look like peacock feathers. Here's how I went about doing it:

Using navy green, I coated the nail with a base color

Added a few more coats so it looks more solid

These are the colors used for the watermark!
I shall skip on how to create a watermark because there are many tutorials on youtube to help you

The peacock water mark, 3rd try
For the 1st try, I used blue and green but it appeared as the 1st nail below. I then decided to use midnight blue, and double that layer with another blue to create a gradient like the one shown above.

The three tries, the third one finally makes more sense!
The color is right, the shape is more defined, I just have to refine it with more petal-shapes.

Not sure if you can tell, but using the method previously proposed in the video I shared didn't work. Water-bubbles appeared anyway. Shall research more on this.

My two favourites of the day.
Honestly, which do you prefer?

And this marks the end of my first experiment. There are several things I wish to refine:

1. Find a darker blue, and add yellow and gems to make it more colorful, like the peacock feathers.
2. Research on how to remove those water bubbles.
3. Consider using a cup, or a bowl with more depth, so I will not touch the bottom of the container and smudge the nails

Overall, I think this got off a good start :)
Wonder how it can be improved..
