Essence -Jacob's Protection (Breaking Dawn Collection)

Hi,
Happy New Year! Today I'll show you Jacob's Protection from Essence's Breaking Dawn Collection. (two coats in the picture)

I won this a while ago in a giveaway organised by Shannara from Nails and Stuff. She also sent me 
Alice had a vision, which is another beautiful shade and I'm eager to try it.

After having applied two coats of Jacob's Protection, I took my sponge and applied Avon 
-Arabian glow on the tips. Then, I stamped the stars from m14 Konad plate using Special White.
Finally, I applied the Konad -Special top coat. What do you think about my New Year's eve 
manicure?

Pink and green water marble

Hi,
Today I'll show you the first water marble I'm wearing and that's because never before did I
 manage to do it. The idea came from the plain, white nails I was wearing the day before.
 As I heard that the colours blend together the best if applied on a white base, why 
not try marbling again? So I took a plastic glass with room-temperature water and 
starting combining the nail polishes. I have a short tutorial on this here, check it out.
This are the shades I used: Green With Envy and Aqua Fantasy from Avon, Funky/Fabulous 
from Claire's and #04 from Golden Rose. 
After the marbling was done I created some white and dark green dots to complete the design.
I finished with a clear top coat. What do you think?

Gold leopard manicure

Hi,
Toady I'll show you 
I applied two coats of Illamasqua -Scorn on all my nails except on the ring finger,
where I applied two coats of Matt Dull White form Born Pretty. Above it, I stamped
the design from m57 Konad plate using this Black Stamping Polish and filled in
the imprints with Avon -Gold lustre. I finished with a clear top coat.
What do you think?

St. Patrick manicure - Water Marble

Hi,
Today I tried to make a four-leaf clover water marble manicure, but I only
managed to do it on false nails, not on mine. I thought that it might be because
they are too short; anyway - they were a total mess. Maybe you will try it too and
you will get a better result than me. Firstly, you should paint your nails white or a 
nude colour and then, in a disposable glass, I put alternatively several drops of 
Avon -Green with envy and Sinful Colors -Happy ending. Using a toothpick, I
created the four-leaf clover and then put the nail in the middle of the design.
 


At the end, I applied four green, heart-shaped rhinestones. I got them from a nail art store
called Born Pretty for $3.33 . I finished with a clear top coat. 
What do you think? Could you give me some tips if you have tried it and got a nice result?

Spring day manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a springy manicure I've done and also talk about the Black stamping 
nail polish from a nail art store called Born Pretty. I started with two coats of 
Avon -Aqua Fantasy and then, using the sponge, I applied Pure Ice  -French Kiss on 
the tips. Then I stamped the design from m78 Konad plate with the stamping polish I was 
talking about. The design imprints very well, the color is intense enough and it doesn't 
dry on the stamp before you apply it on the nail. It is in a 3ml bottle, and its price 
is $2.05, with free international shipping. I think it deserves a try if you ran out 
of Konad special polish, because the results are mainly the same. I finished my 
manicure by applying a clear top coat. What do you think?

A two colored nail design and tutorial

Hi!
Today I'm going to show you a new design I made and how you can do this.
(not my nails in the following pictures)

First you have to paint your nails with a bright color.
I chose a lilac color (Luxe Lavander from Avon)
Wait ultil the base color is dry. Take a darker nail polish and paint half nail diagonal like
in the picture. The brick nail polish is no.51 from Kallos.

Now go to your Konad stamping kit. Use any tiny design. I used a flowery design from plate m26
Then take a black polish for nail art (or a regulary polish applied with a nail art brush)
and paint a thin line between the lighter and darker colors.
You should get something like this:

Wait about 10 minutes and apply the Konad top coat. If you don't have this, use a good top coat. You don't want your design to spoil.

So, voila! Here it is.
Hope you like it and if you gonna try this, please don't hesitate to show me!

Thanks for reading and have a nice Saturday evening!

Striped Pattern Nails

Hi!
Here's my new design with Konad plate m60.
I used Luxe Lavander as the base color (OMG, again?!). I just love this polish!
I planned to do this design for a long time ago, and here it is. I know it's something so simple, but the white lines looks gorgeous on that lilac color.



So here's what I got today. Hope you all have a great Wednesday!
Thanks for looking.
