Spring at the end of summer

Hi,

Today I'll show you a flowery manicure I created using m36 and m60 Konad plates.

Firstly, I applied two coats of China Glaze -Refresh mint and then I stamped the flowers

using Special White, Violet Pearl and Psyche Pink from Konad. I used Special Black for

the butterfly, which I stamped on the corner of the tips. I finished with the Special Top Coat.

What do you think? Does it make you think of spring in spite of the autumn coming?

Blue leopard nails

Hi,

Today I'll show you a new animal print manicure I created using m57 Konad plate.

Firstly, I applied a white base coat for my design. I used Matt Dull White from Born Pretty

for it. Then, using the sponge technique, I applied French Kiss from Pure Ice on the tip of 

each nail. After it, I stamped the leopard design using Special Black and I finished with a clear 

top coat. What do you think?

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?

Striped manicure

Hi,

Today I'll show you a manicure I created using an essence stamping plate.

I started with two coats of China Glaze -Lemon Fizz and then, using a sponge, I applied

Sinful Colors -Cream Pink diagonally on my tips. I stamped the striped design 

using Special Black. I finished with a clear top coat.

City skyline manicure

Hi,

Today I'll show you a manicure I saw on cutepolish' channel.

I started with two coats of Zoya -Malia and then I applied Miss Sporty #330 on the top 

of my nails using a sponge. I used Illamasqua -Scorn for the buildings and I created 

the lights using a dotting tool and Golden Rose #04. I finished with a clear top coat.

I invite you to watch this video for the technique.

Caviar nails

Hi,

As caviar manicure is very popular this season, I decided to create a similar nail art, too.

I started with two coats of Astor Fashion Studio #114 and then I put my ring

finger in the steel balls box so that they stuck onto my nail. I got my steel balls 

from Born Pretty for $5,41. I finished with a clear top coat.
