Christmas lights nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you my holiday lights manicure.My inspiration for this was 
Pushing Polish. I started with a base coat and then, using a sponge, I applied
white nail polish on the tips of the nails. Then, I created a black curved line
on each nail, using a thin brush. I randomly applied colourful rhinestones and
finished with a clear top coat. What do you think?

Illamasqua -Nomad and marble manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you another shade from Illamasqua, called Nomad. It is a beautiful 
apple green shade, which is perfectly opaque after two coats. You can see yourself
the shiny nail polish in the pictures, applied in two coats, without any top coat.

 Here it is the same shade applied  from the quarter of the nail. For this design, I 
made a free hand marble, inspired by this tutorial. I applied a heart shaped rhinestone
on my ring finger and top coated all the nails. What do you think?

You can find Illamasqua products online at Illamasqua.com.

Illamasqua -Scorch and houndstooth nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you a nail polish form Illamasqua, named Scorch. It's a beautiful snow white, with a perfect coverage and texture. I for one find it very difficult to find a good white nail polish, as they are either too thin, with a very poor coverage or to thick and hard to apply. This one is in the middle - it doesn't have any of this problems. The coverage was perfect after the second layer and its brush made it very easy to be painted. This is how it looks like without any clear top coat. You can find it on their website, for £13.50. Also, Illamasqua offers a wide range of many other make-up products which they ship internationally.


I stamped over it a houndstooth design from m63 Konad plate on all my nails, except from my ring finger, where I applied three silver rhinestones. I finished with the Konad -Special Top Coat. What do you think?

White and blue manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a new manicure I made with Konad m57 and m59 image 
plates. I applied two coats of PURE ICE -French Kiss on the middle finger
 and pinky and Matt Dull White from Born Pretty on the other nails. 
I like this white nail polish very much because the coverage is perfect after the 
first layer. It is also very accessible as the web-site ships internationally for free. 
Next, I stamped the designs with special black and white stamping
polishes. I filled in the leopard print with blue polish, using a dotting tool,
put a blue rhinestone on the index and finally, applied a clear top coat.

It's called Magic Magnetic Nail Art Polish #36 and it only costs $6.38, with free

using a magnet. On my ring finger I stamped the four-leaf clover from the
Hello Kitty image plate, which I also got from Born Pretty. Finally, I applied
a silver rhinestone and a clear top coat.

Necklaces on nails

Hi,
Today I'll show you a new manicure I made with m77 Konad plate.
I started with two coats of a light pink base color and then I sponged the upper part
of the nail with Sinful Colors -Pink Cream. Then I stamped the necklace design using the  
Black Stamping Polish from Born Pretty. I applied a pink rhinestone on each nail, using
dark pink rhinestones for the ring finger and lighter pink rhinestones for the rest of the
nails. I finished with a clear top coat.

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?

Flormar - Magnetic twist

Hi,
Today I'll show you a new magnetic nail polish from Flormar. Unfortunately,
I think this brand is only available in Europe. I got a red shade, called MG05.
It is very easy to use: right after you apply the polish on the nail you put the magnet 
as close to nail as possible and keep it for about 10 seconds. It will look like in the 
picture. After this, I stamped a small, white flower from m66 Konad plate and 
applied a red rhinestone. I finished with a clear top coat. What do you think?

This is how the magnet looks like. It only creates diagonal lines. I will give you a tip: 
take the magnet out from its support so it will be easier to use. The lines aren't so 
emphasized when you use the magnet in its support.

Pink-purple konadicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a konadicure I did with m79 image plate.
I applied two coats of Classics #261 on all nails except my ring finger, on which
I applied a light pink. I put on a coat of Sinful Colors -Bali Mist on all nails to give
them a nice shimmer. Then I stamped with Konad -Special White the designs.
I filled in the petals and made some dots with the darker color using a dotting tool.
I applied a silver rhinestone in the middle of the flower and finished with a clear top coat.

Snowman manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a new wintery manicure done with both Konad and
brushes. I started with two coats of Catrice -It Blue My Mind and then I stamped the
snowflakes from m59 image plate on 3 of my nails and made a snowman on my thumb
and ring finger. It's very easy to do - I think each of you are capable of doing it.
Use a bigger dotting pen for the snowballs and a smaller one for the eyes, nose
and buttons. Use a thin brush for the rest of the details. At the end, I topcoated
all nails and applied a silver rhinestone in the middle of the snowflakes.
I  got inspired from The Naisaurus' manicure, but her was obviously much prettier.

Kitty manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a cute kitty manicure.
I strated with two coats of Essie -Nice is Nice and then I stamped the kitty
from Konad m83 plate and the paws from an essence plate. I applied pink
rhinestones near the kitty and finished with a clear top coat.
I also applied some pink rhinestones. I stuck them with the clear glue from Born Pretty.
It sticks rhinestones very well and they last longer on nails. The package is actually very big.
I recreated this manicure from this one right here.
