40 great nail art ideas: Fashion inspired stamping "Green flowers"

Introduction

Good day darlings. For fashion inspired prompt at 40 great nail art ideas I chose beautiful dress from Topshop with green floral pattern. And although it's a white dress, very pale blue polish Lebedushka turned out to be a wonderful background for this design. Surprisingly these flower images are from Pet'la plate Flake no more, I guess it makes them winter/early spring flowers. You can heck out short video tutorial on my Instagram, I'm using clear jelly stamper from Born pretty store for the first time. And it stamps really well, after you get used to it.

HPB presents: Enchanted polish Majestic swatch and free hand "Little penguin" nail art

Introduction

Good day darlings. This month for HPB blog link-up we are showing our first indie brands. It might surprise you, but my first purchased indie brand was Enchanted polish. At that time I did not even know it was an indie brand (I did not know what "indie polish" is). I just saw that on FB page of my online nail polish store NPC everyone was excited about upcoming restock of elusive Enchanted polish and discussed how hard it's to get them (this was autumn 2013 and Enchanteds were in very high demand). I decided to try it for myself and get some of this polish. My first restock was quite successful Afternoon delight and Time to pretend, both are fantastic colors. Now my collection of Enchanted polish is expanded and includes some rare beauties such as Gummy worm. My choice for this link-up is Majestic - grey holo with lilac undertone. It's a very pretty shade and it became a perfect background for "Little penguin" free and nail art, inspired by my little boy. Pictures were taken shortly after Andy turned one year and I loved his cute face and outfit so much that I promised myself to create matching nail art. It took me very long to find courage and paint it free hand, but I'm super happy with results.

Femme fatale Hundred year's winter swatch and dry marble glow in the dark nail art

Introduction

Good day darlings. It's been a while since I posted last swatch of Femme fatale polish, but I still have few of them left among untrieds. Meet Hundred years of winter, wonderful mauve polish with intense teal shimmer. I would never imaging that this shade of polish could steal my heart, but somehow added shimmer makes it irresistible for me. To complement Hundred year of winter, I decided to make glow in the dark dry marble design inspired by Sveta Sanders. Dry marble is definetly not that easy for me, but I'm pretty pleased with results. Of course my favorite look is while Black light (UV) is on.

40 great nail art ideas: Red ikat nail art

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I have red ikat nail design inspired by beautiful dress. This was my 40 great nail art ideas challenge for this week and I never did ikat nails before. I found pictures of this dress while looking for examples of ikat designs and immediately fell in love with it. Initially I planned to make more detailed drawing, but it was quite difficult... so I ended up with fairly simple result.

Neon watercolor water marble with Fair Maiden Rainbow brights and MoYou London Pro XL14 stamping

Introduction

Good day darlings. This water marble design was done for Purple, orange and pink prompt at When colors collide. I decided to make something which would look like watercolor splashes going one into another and that's exactly how it turned out. Nude base helped to achieve color different color intensity, although it was pretty difficult to photograph neon polish. After wearing these for couple days, I added metallic purple floral stamping on top and result was really wonderful. I'm serious in love with both versions and can not choose my favorite.

Picture polish Autumn swatch and gradient stamping nail art "Orange dahlia"

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I'm gonna show you all my favorite colors in one mani. Orange background is a wonderful Autumn from Picture polish. It has bright cheerful orange color and scattered holographic particles. Since this polish is a jelly you might need 3 coats for a full coverage, I used 2 coats and on some picture you can see free edge line. Nevertheless, I love this shade of orange. My two other favorite colors are yellow and green, so I combined them in a gradient floral stamping. Amazingly very pale yellow and neon green mixed together nicely and matched Autumn perfectly. Design looks bright and fresh and if you like it, check out video tutorial on my Instagram.

Good god Bow polish and "Moon landing" stamping nail art with MoYou London Sci-Fi 03

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I have something magical, multichrome Bow polish called Good god. It's mainly purple with a transition to green through gold and it has holographic particles. And I was able to capture this transition, so I'm super happy with my swatch pictures. Since this polish looks like a galaxy on your nails, it became a base for my "Moon landing stamping". Foolishly, I used Color club topper Concrete jungle after stamping. It sort of took away multichrome effect, but still look nice, just not as I imagined it.

Introduction

Good day darlings. It's already Saturday and I'm ready to share my Aqua/Turquoise design for 40 great nail art ideas collaboration.

Emily de Molly Rough sketch swatch

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I have swatch of colorful Emily de Molly glitter called Rough sketch. It's a bright mint cream polish with added orange, purple and blue glitters or various sizes. In my opinion Hayley from Emily de Molly makes one of the best glitters among all indies and this one is not an exception. Application is super smooth and glitter shows up nicely in spite of quite opaque base. Also I love this unique color combination, which makes Rough sketch so special.

Bow polish Andromeda swatch plus purple & green stamping

Introduction

Good day darlings. This post is my contribution to When colors collide Purple & green prompt. I started with gorgeous purple-blue duochrome Andromeda (figure 2). Given that it also contains green flakies this was a perfect base. Bow polish is actually a new brand created by Dance legend with a unique bottle style and good quality. I bought this polish and Russia, but now international shipping is available if you buy directly from Dance legend site (link at the end of my post). For stamping I used one image from MoYou London Explorer 18 plate and two stamping colors purple & green. It's a simple design, but all components work nicely together,
