40 great nail art ideas: Spring sakura glitter placement and stamping nail art.

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I have beautiful spring design combining stamping and glitter placement. First I applied on coat of each peach and green Loreal Flower bohem glitter toppers, avoiding large flowers. Next I stamped black tree branches using MdU polish. Finally, I added some large flowers on top and put yellow small glitters in the middle of each flower. Covered it with a generous layer of clear top coat and enjoyed this delicate Spring Sakura look. Please check out my IG if you want to see video totorial. Wishing all of you pleasant and jolly Easter weekend.

Emily de Molly Natural beauty Baby boomers and Shamrock foil stamping

Introduction

Good day darlings. Belated post with st. Patrick's nails designs. My base was a baby boomer french with Natural beauty Emily de Molly. On top of it I did foils stamping using gold and green holographic foils from born pretty store. And finally I added one coat of green jelly with holo microgliters - Ursula. Honestly I liked all three stages of this design, especially baby boomers, which look more delicate and feminine compared to regular french.

40 great nail art ideas:3 shades of green Mermaid dry marble nail design

Introduction

Good day darlings. My prompt for 40 great nail art ideas was scale/mermaid design. I decided to combine dry marble and stamping to create mermaid nails with 3 different shades of green polish. It was a first time I tried dry marble on top of the silicon mat and it definitely was easier than on the nail. Although I need to practice more, so that I can get consistent results for all nails.

Mosaic water marble nail design with Pipe dream polish

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I have another crazy water marble. This time it was created using Pipe dream polish. This polish does water marble fantastically and gives prefect super clear circles. But I was really fascinated by green bubbles appearing through orange and decided to use this effect for my design. If you are interested in the video tutorial check out my IG. I let water marble dry and applied it as decals. Finally, I added some Japaneses mosaic stamping on top and it really changed this look. Let me know which version do you like more with or without stamping?

The Don Deeva polish Anita Woody and scale stamping nail art "Blue mermaid"

Introduction

Contains press sample

Good day darlings. I made these "Blue mermaid nails" using wonderful glitter from The Don Deeva polish - Anita Woody applied on top of the nude glitter base. For scales stamping I used Violet MdU and Gold El Corazon polish. Since gold stamping was a bit lost, I decided to sponge some more glitter on top of it. And voila mermaid nails ready, it was also super easy to remove all this glitter. Dance legend makes amazing glitter bases, they come off nicely, you just have to hold hands under warm water for sometime.

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.

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.

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,

HPB presents: Gradient stamping "Yellow daisies"

Introduction

Good day darlings. This is my entry for January HPB link up with theme - gradient. I decided to do a gradient stamping. Background for this stamping is shattered glass inspired by Sveta Sanders using dried flakie polish cut into pieces. It turned out quite nice, but only after second attempt. For gradient stamping I choose floral images and two yellow polishes. Gradient turned out subtle, but I love how flowers show up on background and how flakies sparkle giving it a 3D look.

40 great nail art ideas: Films and glow in the dark "Dragon Haku" nail art

Introduction

Good day darlings. As soon as I saw "Films" prompt at 40 great nail art ideas, I knew that I'm going to make nail art inspired by one of my favorite anime movies "Spirited away" created by Hayao Miyazaki. One of the main characters in this Japanese fantasy is dragon named Haku, the spirit of the river. I adore him and luckily his image is included in the Miyazaki inspired stamping plate set from HeHe, which I bought as soon as it was released and use constantly. And I though it would be a nice opportunity to try my glow in the dark polish from Dance legend. Pink base polish is thermal and it was hard to decide which state I like more as a background. With pale pink it looked like fine delicate silk for vintage kimono, but images popped more on a bright pink background. I know one thing though, in the dark I could not stop looking at my nails. It was so fascinating to see different colors glow.

Born pretty stamping plate BPL-32 review and coupon code.

Introduction

Press sample

Good day darlings. Today I want to show you another stamping plate from Born pretty store which I received for review. This was not the plate which I chose, although I was thinking to get it. BPL-32 is Christmas themed plate, but it has several images which could be used during entire winter season, snowflakes of various sizes, snowman and four sweater designs (size 15 x 21 mm). I'm especially happy about sweater designs, since I had only one among all of my plates. Also there is an image which I think represents pine cone scales  and that's what I used for my nail design. I did background using splatter technique and even after top coat application my nails were not completely smooth, nevertheless scales image transferred perfectly (look at the macros) and it was easy to position it. If you are interested in BPL 032 it's currently on sale (only 3.99$), also fell free to use my coupon code PHDX31 to get 10% from entire store.

Born pretty store stamping plate BPL-025 review and coupon code plus 40 great nail art ideas

Introduction

Press sample

Good day darlings. This week I received my second package from Born pretty store for review - 3 stamping plates and nail vinyls. I will be posting reviews withing next two weeks. First plate which I chose is BPL-025 (Figure 1). It's a animal themed plate with two types of images. Full nail images (size 15 x 22 mm) and plenty of individual animals, which are super cute (Figure 2). Full nail images have quite large patterns which might not work well for someone with short nails, while individual animals are not that big and could be use even on smaller nails. I also love that some images come in pairs, for example bunnies and doves, so that you can mix and match them. I used only two images with birds for my nail design* (see at the end why exactly I chose this images). And because one of them was large with multiple birds I was able to stamp different birds on each nail, it was exactly what I wanted. This is the advantage of having large image and small nails, you can really choose which porting you want to stamp and be creative. BPL -025 is currently on sale you can buy it for 3.99$ or you can also use my coupon code PHDX31 to get 10% from entire store.
