Introduction

Good day darlings. It's time for second prompt of our December macro challenge -Green/Flakie. I chose to show delicate mint green with skattered holographic mini flakes. This polish has a nice formula and was opaque in 2 coats. I love how refereshing and peaceful it looks. Also, I experimented with 3 fingers macros, what do you think about it?

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.

June macro challenge: Emily de Molly Ariel's realm swatch

Introduction

It's a flakies day in our June macro challenge and I decided to share my swatch of Emily de Molly polish Ariel's realm. Previously I published neuron inspired nail art with this polish as a background. It has dark teal/green base and is loaded with numerous color shifting mini flakes and silver micro holo glitter. Another gorgeous creation from Hayley. I applied 2 coats, as it was a background for nail art and show it without top coat. There was no issues with application or staining and this polish looked amazing on my long nails.
