Emily de Molly Corsetry and stamping nail art with MM24 "Black feather - red ink"

Introduction

Good day darlings. Here is my last design for November Clairestelle8 challenge and another entry for stamping Saturday. The prompt was feathers and I decided to stamp huge feather across 4 nails. Black feather, red ink - does not it look intriguing? What are these words about - love or murder or maybe both? And of course do not miss holo sparkle of Corsetry (color4nails exclusive EDM polish) on macros.

Picture polish Autumn and stamping nail design with MM 19 plate "Autumn owls"

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I want to share nail art for Owls prompt at #clairestellechallenge and for this design I finally used Messy mansion plate, which I had forever and wanted to use so badly. It was really easy to choose background polish for the fall look I used bright orange Picture polish called Autumn. For index and ring fingers, as well as pinky I made stamping decals. And for middle finger I just stamped tree and added colorful leaves using dotting tool. I absolutely adore this cheerful fall design, but unfortunately my macros turned out blurry due to the insufficient light. Hopefully you will forgive me for this. As a bonus at the end there is a link to my video tutorial of water marble turkey nail design. Happy thanks giving everyone!

When colours collide: Zodiac nail art with vertical gradient using Enchanted polish

Introduction
Good day darlings. Today I want to share my zodiac mani for collaboration project "When colours collide". I did not have any zodiac stamping plates, so I had to do a free hand... To compensate for simple zodiac signs drawing I attempted vertical gradient with lots of holo polishes, well it does not really look like a gradient, boo.... The zodiacs on each finger correspond to my family members. Leo is my mom and me, Taurus - my dad and sister, Pisces my hubby and Virgo is for my baby boy :) Firstly, I created gradient on each nail and topped them with 7 nations army holo glitter. Next, I made decals of each zodiac sign and applied them and finally I added my favorite holo topper Djinn in the bottle. Voila, lots of holo sparkle and so colourful. In addition, I used same polish to create mandala design on my thumb for macro challenge.

Picture polish Bette and dotting nail art "Flowers or snow?"

Introduction

Good day darlings. Finally, a non stamping nail design. Delicate dotting nail art for #clairestellechallenge. I used 2 coats of Bette as background on middle and ring fingers and thumb, on top I drew a floral design using tiny brush and medium dotting tool. On index finger and pinky I made diagonal gradient using Bette, White wedding and Chillax. Finally, I added white dots everywhere using acrylic paint and super tiny dotting tool. I hoped that tiny white dots will look like pollen, instead it reminds me of snow, ahahha. Henсe, I'm note sure if it's more floral or snowy ?

Gothic nail art with Zoya Domiva and holographic foil stamping "Gothic Movember"

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I again combine #clairestelle8challenge and #mcarochallenge. It was not easy to come up with Gothic Movember nail art util I noticed this skull with mustache on BM 413. In order to make this design really interesting I decided for the first time to use foil on top of the stamping and I chose matte black background for better contrast. Stamping was done with White Konad polish and right after stamping image on the nail I pressed holographic foil on top of it. The result was really mesmerizing, and hopefully you can see it on photos. In fact, I'm super happy that I tried foils. However, there is one problem about using them, I tried to apply several different top coats, but they all reduce holographic shine, so all pictures are shown without any top. Unfortunately, without top coat holo foil got scratched away after one day of wear, so I'm not sure yet how to make this beauty last long. And there is a video tutorial at the end of this post.

Enchanted polish Afternoon delight and stamping nail art "Coffee delight"

Introduction

Good day darlings, while I was on vacation my huge 33 plates Mo You London order arrived and today I'm gonna show you nail art with one of these plates. Cook Book 04 plate is all about coffee, perfect for macro challenge "Hot beverage" prompt.  In addition, I used triangle vinyls from Emily de molly to make and entry for Clairestelle8 challenge. Base color is an amazing nude holographic Enchanted polish - Afternoon delight and stamping was done using DRK nails Metallic brown. Stamping was easy, but application of vinyls was a bit tricky. These Triangles vinyls are pretty thin and had a tendency to tear if I was not careful enough. On the bright side, I was really happy with polish combination, it looks stunning and makes a wonderful coffee themed pallet.

Clairestelle8challenge: Femme fatale Moonlight statues swatch

Introduction

Good day darlings, today I have something amazingly beautiful for you - a swatch of purple glitter , because I'm combining two challenges #clairestelle8challenge and #macrochallenge. The polish which I chose is fantastic glitter from Femme fatale - Moonlight statues. It's described as a berry  jelly with strong blue shimmer, but since I applied it on top of the dark purple Cauldron of dreams by Emily de Molly, its color looks more intense compared to other swatches. I honestly think that these two polishes were made for each other, and I'm so much in love with this combo!!! You will see plenty of gorgeous pictures below and trust me, I had a super hard time trying to narrow them down. Moonlight statues is outstanding and very complex glitter, definitely a must have one.

Enchanted polish gradient with El corazon metallic tattoos "Silver tattoos"

Introduction

Good day darlings, today I have a design with silver metallic tattoos. For this nail art I started with one coat of Enchanted Polish Reign beau, added sponge gradient with La-la land (at the tips) and Reign beau (closer to the cuticle) and topped this beauty with Rainbow juice. Gradient turned out very subtle, but still lovely. After my polish dried I applied elements of metallic tattoos (application is the same as for regular water decals), let them dry and added one layer of top coat. It has been a while since I wanted to try tattoos in nail art and I'm pretty please with results, although the ring finger with a portion of tattoo on the skin looks strange too me. For the macro challenge prompt "Design without polish" I applied tattoo straight on my thumb nail and it looks ok, I just had to seal it with top coat. Overall, I think that metallic tattoos are nice to experiment with and I'll try to come up another design soon.

November macro challenge: "Khokhloma" nail art with Golden Russian Pet'la stamping plate

Introduction

Good day darlings. A little late, but I'm ready to show you my "Berry" nail design for November macro challenge prompt. It was inspired by traditional Russian patterns called Khokhloma and I was able to make it using gorgeous Golden Russia Pet'la stamping plate. Khokhloma is usually made on a black background with gold and red colors, that's why I after stamping with gold floral pattern, I added red dots on top of each berry. The best part of Golden Russian Pet'la plate is that this pattern comes in 3 different sizes. I used medium one, and if you have shorter or longer nails you can easily use two other images with smaller or larger berries, respectively. Maybe it's because I'm Russian, but I absolutely love this designs and was wearing it a whole week.

November Macro challenge: Femme Fatale Hearts desire swatch

Introduction

Good day darlings, new months has began and we restarted out macro challenge. You can find full list of prompts at the end of my post and feel free to join us on Facebook or Instagram, also use our tags #novmacrochallenge and #macrochallenge. We start with an easy prompt - Swatch it. And I swatched wonderful polish called Heart's desire created by Femme fatale cosmetics as a part of White witch collection. Heart's desire is a sort of coral crelly polish with green-gold flakies and tiny orange microglitters. It looks really pretty in the bottle, but I was not really sure if it goes good with my skin. However, after taking macros I immediately fell in love with it. Just look at the flakies and and sparkles, they are fantastic. I'm wearing two coats without top.  If you search this polish on internet you will notice that there is a huge difference in colors between different swatchers. In my opinion, Herat's desire is definitely a warm coral polish, not a cold pink and I tried to show it as close to real life as possible.
