30 Days of Colour: Femme Fatale Gossamer dust and reverse stamping nail art with Monn nails Ellen "Tropical delight"

Introduction

And another month is almost over, summer days are going away too fast. For glitter/tropical prompt I did tropical nails using thermal polish Gossamer dust, so that it matches June macro challenge and instead of glitter I used flaky polish the Silence. Also I tried for the first time reverse stamping, instead of making decals. It's a bit tricky, but faster than decals. I picked up stamping image, colored flowers using gorgeous orange Ellen from Moon nail supply and stamped them on not completely dry and a bit sticky layer of flakies. I had to redo couple nails, because my timing was not good, but this technique is definitely worth learning. Thank you Sumeet for telling me about it!!!  Needless to say I'm in love with result, just look at macros, shimmer, yellow to orange thermal change, flakies and stamping, this mani has it all.

September Nail Art Challenge: Stamping Month! Day 6: Travel

Introduction:

Today stamping challenge is "travel". As soon as I saw it in the list, I knew what i'm going to do. I felt in love with sunset/sunrise gradient nail arts quite some time ago (my first one was with butterflies), but I really wanted to create something tropical with palm trees. I just had to by stamping plates for this (and luckily I got them right before these challenge). And three of my new Crows Toes polishes looked ideal for creating tender sunrise gradient. The only thing which I did not have was stamping image of the boat, but I fixed this problem. Honestly I'm in love with results and I even made light box to take better images. I hope you'll enjoy it as well.
