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?

Christmas nail art

Hi,

Today I'll show you another Christmas nail art I created. I started with

two coats of Illamasqua -Scorch on all nails except my thumb and ring finger,

where I applied Sinful Colors -Ruby Ruby. The image plates used for each 

finger are, from left to right: m12, m59, m14 Konad plates and an Essence

plate for my pinkie. I used Illamasqua -Allarm for the designs stamped with

red and Konad Special White. I finished with a clear top coat.

Winter nail arts + How to create an outlined design

Hi,

This is going to be an unusually long post, including a lot of pictures. Here, in 

Romania, it has been snowing incredibly beautiful for the past 24 hours. That 

inspired me to create a snowmen nail art. 

I started with two coats of Flormar #431. Then, I applied a layer of a white 

crackling nail polish from Born Pretty in order to create the snow effect.

I used m12 Konad plate for the snowmen. The stamping technique is shown 

in the bellow picture. Firstly, I stamped the design using Special White. Then,

I filled in the design using a white nail polish. Lastly, I restamped the snowmen

design using Special Black, to create an outline effect. This is not as difficult

as it seems, and don't worry if you don't manage to stamp the design exactly

on the line of the previous one. Fill in the comforter with two different colours.

I used orange and green and applied them using a small dotting tool. 

This is the final result. I finished with a clear top coat. What do you think about

my snowmen nail art?

I also wanted to include some pictures of the beautiful scenery I see

from my windows. I really love snow! 

Here's a snowflake design I created for my best friend the day before. You

might have seen it on my Facebook page, as I already posted it. For this, I 

started with a sponged white layer on the tips and then I stamped the snowflakes 

from m59 Konad plate using black, pink and blue. Do you like them?

Candy canes -Christmas manicure

Hi,

Today I'll show you another Christmas themed nail art: Candy canes swirls. For this 

manicure, I firstly applied two coats of Illamasqua -Scorch (about  which I wrote a 

review here) and then I started creating the swirls using thin brushes.The nail polishes 

used were Illamasqua -Allarm (red), Oriflame -Silver lining and Sinful Colors -Last 

Chance (green). I finished with a clear top coat and then went outside to take some

 pictures in the snow! The lightning wasn't exactly the best possible, but I hope 

you'll like what you'll see. What do you think about it?

Holly nail art

Hi,

As holidays seem to be coming soon, I decided to start creating themed nail arts. Today 

it snowed for the first time in my town, so it made it quite obvious that Christmas

time is knocking at our doors. If you are seeking for inspiration, please check my

Christmas collection of manicures I made in the previous years, here. 

For this manicure I used two coats of Astor -Fashion Studio #114 and then I applied

two coats of Golden Rose #69 glitter. I just bought this one because it has green and 

red particles which remind me of Christmas. As I don't have any holy design to stamp, 

I improvised and used a part of the flower design from Born Pretty -Hello Kitty plate.

I removed two of the petals with a thin brush and acetone after sticking the design

on the stamper. I created the three red dots using a dotting tool. What do you think?

Polish Days: Bling manicure

Hi,

Today I'll show you a manicure I created a manicure for a project created by Polish Days. 

It started a while ago, but for me it is the first time I participate. Every now and again lovely 

ladies get together and do their nails according to a theme. This time, they decided to have a 

party theme - Bling. It is about creating a festive manicure, appropriate for the holidays coming.

I started with two coats of China Glaze -Re-fresh mint and then I applied a layer

of a random glitter nail polish called CR #78. I stamped the bows from m59 image

plate and the other designs from m14 image plate, using Special White. I finished

with the Konad Special Top Coat. What do you think? 

Sinful Colors -Frenzy

Hi,

Today I'll show you glittery manicure I very easily created using two different nail 

polishes. I started with two coats of Illamasqua -Scorn and then I applied 2 layers 

of Sinful Colors -Frenzy. As simple as that. The final result is very effective and the 

glitter looks awesome no matter what the lightning is. Click on the pictures 

to zoom. What do you think?

I also created a special effect for this picture and posted it on my Facebook

page. You can see it here. Tell me whether you like it or not.
