Challenge your nail art: Sinful colors Pinky glitter and snowflake stamping pond nail art "First snow"

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I want to show you another pond mani, this time with snowflakes. Surprisingly, it's a pink pond, because I though it would be perfect for representation of delicate first snow. In addition to pink jelly Carol by Julep I used pink holo Pinky glitter from Sinful colors and this combo turned out spectacular. Also while stamping snowflakes I used both white and silver colors which resulted in very interesting final look. You can appreciate detailed beauty of this design from my macro images, where I was able to catch holo sparkle and depth. I created this design for Challenge your nail art, you can find list of all prompts at the end of my post. And it looks like this 12 days Christmas challenge is going to be super fun!!!

30 Days of Colour: Pond and waterfall nail art with Picture polish and Mundo de Unas stamping "Summer waterfall"

Introduction

The prompt was red/pond and I chose to do another pond mani this time combined with waterfall technique, which I never used before. For ring finger which represents waterfall itself my formula was: coat of white wedding+tint+(waterfall with various Picture polishes + tint)x 3. For other fingers coat of DIY jelly + (waterfall with various Picture polishes + stamping + DIY jelly)x3. Finally for the thumb I combined both and did not apply jelly of tint on top, that's why it looks so gorgeous on macros, we can see all textures mixed together. I think waterfall at every pond layer was really excessive one or two would be enough and just clear top coat without jelly to show structure better. I love these nails and wore them for 6 days, which is very long for me. Looking forward to use waterfall technique again. And how about you, did you ever make waterfall nails?

HPB presents: Picture polish Pshiiit and Paradise with teal pond nail art "Crowded with jellyfish"

Introduction


Ever since I saw Jellyfish pond nails created by @firefly5 it was on my "to do" list and finally 9 months later it's done. I really enjoy creating and looking at the pond nails and one of my  personal favorite manis is orange pond "Autumn leaves".  For this "Crowded with jellyfish" pond I stared with Picture polish Pshiiit, because i wanted to have more intense background with some flakies. I stamped corals and bubbles on each nail (or anchor on ring finger) and applied a layer of Paradise to add some glitter (which is not really visible in the final mani). After that I stamped 2-3 jellyfishes one by one and applied teal OPI sheer tint, this step was repeated 3 times. And I stamped snail on the thumb instead of jellyfish. This look is really pretty with shimmer adding extra touch to the depth of pond. I love how it turned out.

30 Days of Colour: Orange pond nails "Autumn leaves"

Introduction

It's an orange day and I love orange, so I prepared something very special. It's improved and upgrade with flakie top coat version of my quit popular autumn nail design. This nail art is done using pond technique and I combine layers of home made neon orange jelly with stamping and layers of flakie polish Up Colors Flocado Base, which I also used as a top coat. Pond nails are time consuming as you absolutely must wait for nail polish to dry before layers, but amazing result totally worth it. I love this look so much, because my favorite part of the autumn is colorful leaves, and I do not care that autumn is so far away. At least I can have them on my nails. Do not forget to see macro at the end it's gorgeous.

September Nail Art Challenge: Stamping Month! Day 14: Leaves

Introduction:

Today our stamping theme is "Leaves" and I planned to do something with real autumn spirit - Jelly leaf stamping sandwich. Classic jelly sandwich consists of two alternating layer: jelly and glitter, but once I saw that you also can alternate stamping with jelly, I was in love with this technique. The problem was absence of any jelly polish in my collection. However I learned that I can mix my own jelly combining clear polish and any cream polish. 

Results:
