Today I'm posting my third nail design with May flowers for HPB and it also counts as stamping entry for 30 day of Colour challenge. This look was inspired by tea-roses which I had for Mother's day and it's my first attempt at radial gradient. I really enjoyed creating this gradient and stamping as it has my favorite colors all together. Even though final look turned out more orange than actual roses, I love it and would not change anything. It was also first time when I used cuticle protector called Crystalline nail veil, which I bought from Color4nails. I was every impressed with this product, it was easy to apply and clean up after gradient and stamping was super easy. It inspired me to create small tutorial on this look (figure 6)., let me know if you are going to try and recreate it.

Indie polish Drinks with umbrellas, stamping over neon pink "Neon pink zebra roses"
This mani is a bit of a failure, because it looks like neon pink zebra, while stamping image actually had roses, but it's really hard to recognize them. I swatched this bright pink matte polish with a cute name Drinks with umbrellas long time ago (here) and thought that it's a perfect base for bright roses. Sadly due to the small size of my nails roses got lost. Not every stamping turns out as you imaging it, especially over glitter and there was a layer of glitter Ode to the elite for extra sparkle. How is your success with stamping over glitter, do you have any tips? Please share your thoughts in comments.

30 Days of Colour: Lead light stamping "Dancing beauty"
Day 12 is about jelly polish and I want to show nail art done with leadlight stamping technique. It's called "Dancing beauty" and was inspired by my best friend, we know each other more than 16 years and she is amazing ballroom dancer and teacher. I had this idea about a month ago and was waiting for my nails to grow long enough. The main challenge in this art was to make stained-glass windows around dancer and flower, as I did not have stamping image of widow with space. So I had to make stamping decal and cut it into pieces to combine different parts of windows into one with the space in the middle. Also, the stamping image which I used for windows was asymmetrical and it was super hard to position it, as it never looked straight. Nevertheless, I really like final result and sparkle of Dark crystal on the background makes it even more special.
