ABC challenge: Enchanted polish LaLa land swatch

Introduction

It's letter "L" today and I'm showing gorgeous LaLa land from Enchanted polish. It was sitting in the box quite long, because I was not sure if I want to keep this polish or not. I'm glad that I tried it on. It's a beautiful color and application was super easy, 2 coats and no problems.  Next day I added some nail art to this background and top coat, results I'll show you latter. It's been 4 days  since I wear it, no chipping no shrinking, still looks fresh and I did not avoid any household tasks. On many swatch pictures LaLa land looks really blue, but it's not like this in reality. That's why for my pictures I tried to preserve more realistic teal color. hopefully you will be able to see it too :)

Nail art "Angelfish" with Pshiiit by Picture polish, Bundle monster and MoYou plates

Introduction:

Today I want to show very special nail art, called "Angelfish". It's special because I did it for my mom when she visited me in Canada for the first time this December. When I was growing up we had an aquarium with different fish types, but with time only one couple of Angelfish remained, they lived for many years and grew really big.  I love how graceful they are with long elegant fins. Watching fish in the aquarium is so relaxing and creating this nail art for y mom was really fun, I enjoyed it so much. Also her nail beds are so much better than mine, it would be great to have her hands. And finally, did I mention that Picture polish Pshiiit is simply the best for aquatic background?

Konad back pearl nail art "Honeybee"

Introduction

There was only one polish starting from letter "K" among my untried ones - Konad stamping polish Black pearl. Therefore I used it to create this bee themed nail art. I have to say that this polish stamps very well and yet I hate it. Why? You probably noticed that my index and ring fingers have black background, I had to redo them completely after I applied top coat on my nails stamped with Konad, because it smeared so badly. And I tried two glossy topcoats and one matte, I gave it super long time to dry (6 hours), nothing helped. It was very frustrating as all my stamping work was just ruined. Since black pearl polish was smearing terribly, I left remaining fingers without any topcoat for this pictures. I did mattify black fingers stamped with yellow Mundo de Unas and surprise, surprise no smearing whatsoever. I love my MdU polish and Konad black pearl is going to "better do not use" box.

China glaze Dashboard dreamer and "Mimosa" nail art for International Women's Day

Introduction

Today is very special, it's International Women's Day, which is celebrated worldwide, in Russia, Eastern Europe, South America, Africa and China. The idea of this holiday started in Soviet times (you can read more in wiki) and it's a mixture of Valentine's and Mother's days. This beautiful day is dedicated to women, so that all of them can feel loved and pampered, therefore I think it should be celebrated in every country :) In Russia, bright yellow mimosa became a symbol of March 8th, as it's sold everywhere only during this holiday. Many russian women are tired of mimosa's and dislike them, but for me they look like miniature suns, fluffy and colorful, perfect to celebrate beginning of spring, femininity and beauty. Happy women's day my dear ladies !!!

Picture polish LakoDom and MoYou London Suki 01 - "Blooming sakura"

Introduction

This nail art was done long time ago, as soon as I received first MoYou London plates,  a generous gift from my sister. But only now I found time to make a proper post with multiple pictures. The timing is also perfect, because spring is in the air and these nails with "Blooming sakura" highlight freshness and tenderness of delicate spring flowers.  One day I hope to travel to Japan and see blooming sakura in person. Till then I'm happy to recreate this beauty on my nails with the help of gorgeous MoYou plates and wonderful LakoDom by Picture Polish.

ABC challenge: Jem by Zoya swatch

Introduction

Today I'm showing polish which was a gift from my dear friend and I could not find time to wear it, what a shame. This polish from Zoya is named Jem and looks spectacular on my nails. Especially I love how it makes my fingers look longer and of course all the sparkles inside. It has beautiful and very pigmented formula, for pictures I applied two coats, but one coat also looks good. And based on the formula I'm pretty sure that Jem should be good for stamping, I shell try it soon :)

ABC challenge: Frolic in the ocean by Indie polish + Glam by LA colors.

Introduction

Hello, I'm back* to following ABC challenge and decided to cover in 1 mani three missing letters: F, G and I. There was no untried polish for letter H in my collection, otherwise I would have to through it in, as well ;) Honestly, I'm really glad that I decided to combine Frolic in the ocean by Indie polish and Glam, they match each other perfectly. Gold shimmer in the Glam turns cold teal of Frolic in the ocean into tender spring green. To make pictures a bit more interesting used my wooden necklace instead of bottle. Please let me know if you like how it looks.
