Twin Post – Color Club Edie

Author: marta // Category: Color Club, Mash

*throws neon confetti to celebrate the end of the work week*

This is my weekend off of work, and I am excited to be going to a Blue Jays Game tomorrow!!! Peter and I will be meeting up with his best friend in Toronto; we are taking all three kids for their VERY FIRST baseball game!

But enough about me …

Today is the last of the mystery Color Club set Twin Posts with Carmela, who you all know by now is the mastermind behind Polished Indulgence.

Today we will be showing you Edie.

GAAAAAAAH!!!!

There, the scream of frustration out of the way, I can try to calmly tell you how challenging it was to get this polish to photograph accurately… and I will forewarn you that the shade is still not color accurate (best-of-my-ability accurate, but not 100% color accurate)

Edie is a neon turquoise-green. This is three coats, without a white base. For a neon-ish shade (I say “ish” because this polish is bright enough to be in the neon family but not searing-at-your-retinas bright) this applied quite nicely and dried semi-matte. The above swatch is with topcoat.

SIDE NOTE: Not too sure why this shade is called “Edie” either! If you do, please let me know! PLEASE! (I’m curious; Color Club doesn’t seem to just give ‘simple’ names to their shades).

(probably my closest to real life shade photo)

I used Mash-47 and Wet n’ Wild Black Creme for the hounds-tooth stamp. The accent nail is one coat of Cult Nails Nevermore (a PURRRRRFECT one coat creamy black).

The color at the base of my nails would be closest to IRL coloring of Edie. But I tell you, this shade was not only camera shy, but was outright mischievous!

I encourage you to check out Carmela’s blog… maybe she, and Hammie, found a better way to speak through to Edie… get him/her to pose better for the camera

* * * * *

Do you have any fun weekend plans you’d like to share with me?

Do you have any clue why this shade would be called “Edie” (to put my guessing game to an end)?

Any mantras you might have for me to use why photographing stubborn neon shades?

THANK YOU FOR READING!

  Hi Bunny Nails,
  Thank you! I enjoy stamping, and this Mash set is so well done that the stamping is made even easier.

Great stamping Marta!
My weekend plan is work. I will be very busy today and we are having a girls party at the Salon.
Enjoy the game and have fun with your family. Hugs!!

  Hi Carolina,
  Oh sounds like a work-filled weekend for you. I hope you will enjoy some off time with the family in the evening at least.
  Thank you!

Wow ! It
looks just so beautiful! I like this kind of color for sunny days. But mine
is not really a neon shade: I have the ELF’s Teal Blue. I don’t care if it is
not a neon shade, I love it ! ^^
Your stamping is very neat! I don’t have the same result… ^^’ Maybe I do it
too fast… I don’t know. But every of your stampings are beautiful! (y)

This weekend I have a loooooooot to do! lol On Saturday morning I have my
baseball/Softball training session (Yes we have baseball in France ! ), then
I help my aunt for the fête of her school (I don’t know how to say that ! lol)
and after that I have a party with some friends. And on the Sunday, with my
baseball/softball team, we go to a sort of event “Sport
with your family”. So there are several sports such as tennis, soccer, etc… And
BASEBALL! So people will be able to try a little, not as if they were
playing a match but how to use a bat, how to throw and catch balls. So it will
be a huuuuge week-end! ^^

Concerning
Edie, I don’t know why it is called like that. I’m not a native English speaker
so maybe there is something, I don’t know..! ^^

I have only
one neon shade and I have no problem to photograph it so I can’t help you… :/ I
don’t have any photos of this one on my blog but if I do an article one day, I’ll
show you. Or the only thing I do, maybe it can help; I make my photos next
to something white with my neon one. I don’t know if it helps you… lol

Have a good
day !

(I hope you can understand all what I tried to say ! lol And also I hope I don’t make too many mistakes in my English… ^^)

  Hi Morgane Rauscher-Borne,
  Thank you!
  Funny you should mention the ELF shade. I don’t own it but googled the color and they look IDENTICAL. Both this Color Club and the Elf are not quite neon but BRIGHT enough
  Stamping takes time. The key is to have a very thick/pigmented color.
  I press my stamper DOWN onto the image and then ROLL it across my nail side to side… this seems to prevent smudging. I hope this helps a little?
  Sounds like both your weekend and mine will be around Baseball… you will play, I will watch
  I fully understand what you write. Your English IS GREAT! Thank you for taking the time to write to me in the comment section
  Have a great weekend!

    Yes I see what you mean about the stamping, thanks !
    Have a great weekend too ! And enjoy your baseball !

Oh I feel for you! I have a mini of this polish and I love the colour so much but am absolutely dreading the day that I decide to photograph it for the blog! A neon (generally impossible to capture), but on top of that, a greeny turquoise (equally impossible)! It’s a double whammy!! But I think you did well to get pretty close!

  Hi Anneke,
  Thank you for feeling my pain and for the thumbs up on the effort. I have been putting this shade off because the color is so tricky, but I think the idea is there, and those who have this shade can “imagine” what it really would look like
  Have a great weekend!

Yeeeees! I’ve been waiting for you to show us Edie ever since I saw the collection! Didn’t say anything because you and Carmela probably already had a plan, but still, I knew this one was gonna be my favorite and it is! I’m obsessed with turquoise and minty shades ATM, which explains my new blog layout and also my current polish (Depend 054), which will be a base for you-know-which-manicure!

The stamp reminds me of that super trendy pattern that I forgot what’s it called, but I know Sarah from Chalkboard nails has a similar pattern as her blog background - one fashionable mani you’ve got there!

My weekend plans – ENJOY! My last exam is behind me and if I passed it, I’m all done for this year! Wooo!

As far as the name goes, I honestly don’t know. But after Google-ing a bit, I’ve realized A LOT of turquoise products are named Edie. The only relevant thing I stumbled upon is a blogger named Edie (http://www.lifeingraceblog.com/) with a turquoise kitchen an obvious turquoise obsession. So maybe that? But I doubt it

  Hi Nusa,
  I don’t doubt that you will pass your exams and will get some time to relax
  Yes, this is the houndstooth stamp… for the longest time I didn’t know what this pattern was called. I had to ask my brother’s girlfriend (who took fashion in school)
  Thanks for doing all this research. The only Edie I found was on Wikipedia for a female actress from the 50s… but all her photos were black and white so there is no way of knowing if she liked turquoise lol

Houndstooth it my all time fave stamp! This is gorgeous!

  Hi Fingers,
  It is a really neat stamp because it looks so intricate right!!!? Thank you, glad you like this It is always lovely to get a comment from you

Marta I love the way you wear EVERY color! I am scared of greens and yellows but you have inspired me yet again I’ve gotta get some of that wet n wild for for stamping – you seem to use if often and it always looks great.

As far as weekend plans go – I will be sharing all my Jewel Kade love at a party hosted by my gal pal Vanessa! Being a Stylist for this company is great and I love sharing their story and my love of the handmade jewelry. Yaay for parties! Check it out if you want – http://www.kimber_bling.jewelkade.com

Oh…and I will probably go pick out a new nail polish color or two

Have a super weekend sistas!

  Hi Kimber_Bling,
  Thank you! Yellows I have warmed up to… greens are still a little scarry for me too. I would propably be more comfortable with just a green accent nail houndstooth and all other nails black. And that is a neat way to wear yellow too (as an accent nail). A pop of color.
  Sounds like the party you will be attending is a genuine hobby of yours. It is great to do what we love
  
  Yes, the Wet n Wild “Black Creme” or Wet n Wild “Ebony Hates Chris” both work great! You should airdry the bottle for 4-5 hours thought to thicken the polish. Or the Mash black is superb for stamping too and 15mL costs 5.99! on the http://www.mashnails.com website
  Enjoy your weekend

I know the frustration when a color won’t photograph well… GAAAAAH!!! sums it up pretty well
The manicure is beautiful. You make accent nails look so easy

  Hi Anya_WackyLaki:
  Yes “Gaaaaah” is right.
  I have grown quite fond of the accent nail look… what can I say
http://twitter.com/sincerelynails Sincerely Stephanie

ooooo that sounds like so much fun! I hope you have a fabulous time at the Jays game!
I really like what you did with the colour even if it’s not fully colour accurate!

  Hi Sincerely Stephanie,
  The game was great… though we didn’t stay for all too long. We got stuck in traffic AND both of our girls were running a fever… with the open skydome it was a bit too hot for them But I loved the bit we did watch and it was a great day regardless
  Thanks

Hi Melissa Bonilla,
Thank you SO much for your comment. I will tell you that I googled Edie and came up with Edie Sedwick but couldn’t find a photo of her wearing/in/near this shade (most of her photos on google are black and white). Mystery solved!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
This was very kind of you to share… it was eating my alive
http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

Hi sparkli,
I love hearing from new followers/readers. It always makes my day. Thank you for taking the time to write this comment. Thank you for your compliments too *blush*.

For this look I DID paint my thumb black (only because my thumb is quite wide for the stamp, and I didn’t know whether I could double stamp it with precision…) Though, to be honest, the single accent finger – ring finger- is my favourite accent nail look. This would also be quite cute in reverse… all nails black/or green with one houndstooth accent nail

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This is such a cool colour, its very urban. I love the stamp you used too, I own that stamp as well… but as you probably guessed I haven’t used it

Something about Houndstooth that takes a look to another level of trendy, no matter what.

  HI Klenz85,
  I agree this shade is quite urban and modern.
  We need to get you acquainted with that stamper of yours… You will love it!
  Yes, the houndstooth is quite a trendy look (topped over any other shades it looks great too).

Oh my! Your stamping design on this one has left me speechless…almost. I have to say something at least to let you know how much I’m in love with it!

It’s so bold, and I dig the contrasting colours. Funky and modern – great job, Marta!

  Hi Mary,
  I thought you’d like this green-ish shade Thank you!!!!
  Hounds tooth is a neat little image to spruce up both vibrant and soft shades
