Matching Manicures - Inspired by Fashion

Kako sam osoba koja ne prati modu, trendove i sl. ova tema mi je posebno teško pala. No, s druge strane, tema je takva da nismo ograničeni samo na savremene modne tendencije već se možemo inspirisati i modom prohujalih doba ili drugih naroda, civilizacija. Stoga sam se odlučila da inspiraciju potražim u dalekom Japanu, a tome je sasvim sigurno doprinela činjenica da je prošle nedelje održan Japanizam i da se preko puta mog štanda nalazio štand Tsubaki kimono.

Being someone who is not into fashion, trends and such, I found this theme to be a chore, which is why I am only publishing this article at the last moment. However, on the other hand, the theme is such that we are not limited to current fashion trends, but we can take our inspiration from fashion of times gone by, of different peoples or civilisations. That is why I looked for my inspiration far away, in Japan, and the fact that Japanizam had just ended and that Tsubaki kimono booth was right across mine had figured greatly in this decision.

Furisode je najformaliniji kimono za neudate žene - prepoznatljiv po dugačkim rukavima i običn veomao bogatim aplikacijama. Ovaj sa slike mi je poslužio kao direktna inspiracija za ovaj manikir, mada nisam sasvim zadovoljna kako sam ga izvela. Kao bazu sam koristila Flormar 416, Trind Mellow Yellow, Maybelline Urban Orange i Flormar 398. Pečatirala sam kombinovane motive sa pločica BP-L005, MoYou Nails 130, MoYou Nails 132 i MoYou Nails 412, koristeći Essence Stampy White, Ya Qin An Red i MoYou Nails Yellow pečatne lakove. Bacite pogled i na druge odgovore na ovonedeljnu temu.

Furisode is the most formal kimono for unmarried girls. It is recognisable by its very long sleeves and rich appliqué. The one in the photo above was the direct inspiration for this mani, although I am not very pleased with how it turned out. I used Flormar 416, Trind Mellow Yellow, Maybelline Urban Orange and Flormar 398 as base. I combined images from BP-L005, MoYou Nails 130, MoYou Nails 132 and MoYou Nails 412 stamping plates, using Essence Stampy White, Ya Qin An Red and MoYou Nails Yellow stamping polishes. Do have a look at other designs for this week's theme.
