Spongy

I love this base coat from Orly's new line Mineral FX. It's so multi-faceted and pretty. It's a more pink red with awesome purple and orange glitter undertones. But I have committed myself to never just to a single polish, so I added some other purple colors via sponging. It was fun and a great final look.

Muted Light:

Flash:

I painted three coats of Orly Mineral FX in Emberstone and sponged the following colors: China Glaze Grape Juice and Zoya Valerie. Finishing top coat was Seche Vite.

A Splash Of Glitter

This manicure was so fun to have on my nails. It wasn't originally what I had in mind, I actually was going to do a more all over glitter, but when I started and the first nail I glittered was clustered and asymmetrical, I loved it! So even though it's full of bling, less was more all said and done!

Flash!

I painted three coats of Zoya Paris and then added Silver holo dot nail glitter flakes from Esther's Nail Center. I finished the manicure with one coat of Seche Vite.

Change of Color

I'm having a hard time accepting that it's fall, but I'm working on it. Even if it's hard to part with summer, the one great thing fall brings is color, color, color. This manicure is a step in the right direction for me embracing cooler temperatures and the seasonal retirement of my two-wheeled vehicle (boo).

I painted three coats of China Glaze Brownstone and added to the bottom of the manicure LA Splash Cosmetics nail glitter in Pot 'O Gold. To the tip of the manicure I alternated three colors of Konad Special Stamping Polish in Apple Green, Psyche Pink and Yellow with Bundle Monster plate BM209 with the final touch of Seche Vite on top (one coat).

Eye Spy

This was a quickie manicure after a failed attempt before it (different design scheme with no photographic evidence left behind). This stamp reminds me of eyes, obviously, so my fingers were following me wherever I went.

I painted three coats of China Glaze Loft-Y Ambitions and used China Glaze Platinum Silver with Bundle Monster plate BM212 and finished the manicure with one coat of Seche Vite.

Fire Web

Sorry to be behind in posting. I have lots of legitimate excuses, but they probably don't really matter. So I'll get right to the posting. This was a great red shimmer that doesn't show off its subtle hue change in these photos. The top red and the red underneath the Bundle Monster stamp are not the same. I've shown several photos at my attempt to capture.

I painted three coats of Orly Rock-It and then sponged Orly Emberstone on the tips of my nails. At the bottom of the divide of colors I used Bundle Monster plate BM208 with Konad Special Polish in Psyche Pink and Yellow. I painted one coat of Seche Vite to finish the manicure.

Beauty In The Bottle

Hi,

Today I'll show you a cute minty manicure with roses.

I started with two coats of China Glaze -Refresh mint and then I applied one coat of a

glittery nail polish. Then I stamped the roses from m65 image plate with Special Black.

I finished with a clear top coat. This was my first experience with China Glaze

and I liked it a lot. It's such a pity that they are so hard to find in my country.

Here are some new shades I got: Orly -Crush on you, China Glaze -Lemon Fizz,

China Glaze -Refresh Mint and Brust Crackle -Sunflower.

Mauve stripes

Hi,

Today I'll show you a new manicure I made with an essence stamping plate.

Firstly, I applied two coats of Sinful Colors - Let's talk and then I stamped the design

with Jolfin Blanc. When I applied the clear top coat, something that never happened to

before just did. The stamped white fade. I think it's because of the mauve polish,

because it had never fade before, no matter what base color I used.

Anyway, this was perfectly good for me because I liked it even more.

What do you think?

Nail Junkie

Hi,

Today I'll show you a very pretty and easy manicure with the first Sinful Colors

polish I tried. I applied two coats of Nail Junkie from the half of the nail, after applying

a coat of a nude shade. I stamped above it the design from m64 Konad plate
with Special White and I finished with a clear top coat.

What do you think?

Kink

Hi,

Today I'll show you a manicure with Illamasqua - Kink.

I started with two coats of the green color and then I stamped the design from m63

image plate with SuperStar - Soho Chic. I finished with a clear top coat.

Very easy and yet attracting.

What do you think?

Romantic Purple

I needed something easy and quick and Bundle Monster (or Konad) is always a great way to get a fun manicure with minimal hassle. And spicing up stamping is by using multiple colors in the design.

Flash:

I painted three coats of Zoya Neeka and added Konad Special Stamping Polish in Violet and Orly Luxe. One coat of Seche Vite was used to seal the manicure.

Disco Sparkle

As you can tell I've been on a sparkle kick again, but I'm adding a touch of water marbling to set it off. This manicure was hard to capture in photos. It is so hard to capture blues and purples sometimes and when I put them together, it looked awesome on the nail, but photos didn't really do them justice. I found the best ones I could and I'm sure you get the idea...

Right Hand:

Left Hand:

Flash:

You can also see my left pinky and I got in a major fight....

I painted on all fingers but my ring two coats of China Glaze First Mate. On those fingers I added royal blue, large dot flake glitter I bought From Esther's Nail Center and to fill in the space between the large dots, I added LA Splash Cosmetics Nail Art Glitter in Illusion. For my ring fingers, I added two coats of China Glaze Señorita Bonita and marbled with it China Glaze First Mate. For the entire manicure, I finished the look with one coat of Seche Vite.

Little Green Monster

I wanted green sparkles and I ended up with something that seemed a bit reptilian. I think I was hoping the gray would shine through more, but this was definitely green on display more than anything.




I painted three coats of Zoya Tao and then added to the base of the manicure LA Splash Cosmetics Nail Art Glitter in Immature and to the tips used Bundle Monster Plate bm216 with Konad Special Stamping Polish in Apple Green. I added one coat of Seche Vite to finish the look.

Red zebra print

Hi,

Today I'll show you a new Konadicure with m57 image plate.

I started with two coats of Illamasqua-Allarm and then I stamped the design

with Special Black from Konad. I finished with a clear top coat.

How to fix a broken nail

Hi,

Today I'll show you a very useful tutorial for those really annoying situations when you have

ten beautiful long nails and one of them breaks. Now you don't have to cut them all anymore!

Here's the solution.

1. 2.

3. 4.

5. 6.

Take a tea-bag and empty it. Cut a small piece to fit your crack. Apply a base coat on
the nail and, while it is still wet, apply the cut piece.Then, apply any nail polish you like.
That's it! I've recently read about this and I couldn't believe until I tried. It works for me.
