Nail art with Picture polish Grace and Moon nails Xavier stamping for #OMD3 "Love vine"

Introduction

Hello my dear readers, today as a part of #OMD3 challenge prompt "Leaves" I have stamping nail art with another gorgeous metallic polish from Moon nails supply. It's beautiful green color called Xavier (part of sexy metal set), which is pretty unique and does not exist among colors available from Mundo de Unas. From my macro pictures you can see that this polish stamps perfectly for both images with large areas and tiny lines. Since it's metallic, Xavier does separate in the bottle, so you have to mix it before stamping to get even and beautiful color, but it totally worth it. You can buy this polish with group buy discount from facebook group PSP CooP.

"Good morning" with Harmony from Emily de Molly and multicolor stamping using QA 81 for #OMD3

Introduction

This manicure was created as an entry for three challenges. For glittery day in OMD3 I used super delicate and very beautiful glitter Harmony from Emily de Molly as a base. For 30 Days of Colour Challenge I attempted multicolor stamping with metallic silver and two other colors for gradient effect. Is not it lovely how colors blended into silver polish? You can appreciate it on macros at the end of this post, and by the way macros were done as an entry for July macro challenge. Stamping image was not the best to show gradient, but I absolutely adore it's combination with base glitter. This mani looks fresh, soft and yet bright, just like a perfect summer morning.

30 Days of Colour: monochromatic nail art with Zoya Savita and stamping Bissu Galactica "Matte and metallic purple"

Introduction

This post was supposed to be up yesterday, but I just could not finish it. Unfortunately I have to cut down time which I spent working on my blog,  so there will be some changes and not sure exactly which kind of changes though. This is my entry for matte/monochromatic prompt in 30 Days of Colour. Gorgeous matte Savita plus stamping with my resent obsession metallic Bissu, this polish stamps wonderfully.

June macro challenge: stamping nail art with Femme Fatale Who Is Fairest Of Them All? and Kleancolor Metallic red "Red flower glass"

Introduction

I made this nail art a while ago, right after I swatched Who Is Fairest Of Them All? and posted a stamping review of Kleancolor metallic polish. This was my first use of Kleancolor polish for actual nail art and I was really happy with results. However while taking macro pictures I noticed minor smear on some nails, which did not show during my swatch tests. I used same top coat, so it might be due to the background polish or not enough waiting before top coat application. Nevertheless  metallic red stamps really nice, not even tiny bits missing and bright metal finish is lovely.

30 Days of Colour: Radial gradient with Picture polish Grace and Paris and Bundle Monster stamping plate 608 "It's broken"

Introduction

It's pink/radial gradient day in June 30 Days of Colour challenge and I was really looking forward to make second radial gradient, because I loved first one. I was not sure which stamping image to use until I remembered beautiful blue gradient with broken glass stamping, which Sarah did for Autism awareness.  It was a perfect opportunity to make a pink version with radial gradient. I used sparkly picture polish Grace and Paris , but to be honest gradient looked poor without stamping. Fortunately I received my Bissu polish just in time and it was a perfect metallic pink shade. Another wonderful radial gradient was complete. I wanted to give a romantic name to this nail art... so  "It's broken" and you can decided for your self what is it.

Kleancolor Awesome Metallic polish stamping swatch review

Introduction

My first review of stamping polish (Mundo de unas swatches) was very successful and I finally found time to make another one. This time I chose bright metallic colors from Kleancolor polish, which you can buy on Amazon or directly on their web site kleancolor.com. I purchased Awesome metallic set with 12 polishes. All of them stamp really well, with two exceptions White polish basically gives only sparkle (Figure 4) and yellow is not very visible on white background (Figure 2). otherwise i was really happy with results. Below you can find detailed pictures with stamping over Black&White backgrounds. There is one drawback of Kleancolor polish it's known to stain nails and stampers. At the end of my review (Figure 5) I show how this staining looks on transparent Creative shop stamper and you can find out which polish gives more staining. The good news is that this polish is easy to clean up from skin and nails using sticky tape. Swatch pictures (Figure 2-4) were taken under LED light lamp, so there is no variation in the light setting between them.
