40 great nail art ideas:3 shades of green Mermaid dry marble nail design

Introduction

Good day darlings. My prompt for 40 great nail art ideas was scale/mermaid design. I decided to combine dry marble and stamping to create mermaid nails with 3 different shades of green polish. It was a first time I tried dry marble on top of the silicon mat and it definitely was easier than on the nail. Although I need to practice more, so that I can get consistent results for all nails.

Mosaic water marble nail design with Pipe dream polish

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I have another crazy water marble. This time it was created using Pipe dream polish. This polish does water marble fantastically and gives prefect super clear circles. But I was really fascinated by green bubbles appearing through orange and decided to use this effect for my design. If you are interested in the video tutorial check out my IG. I let water marble dry and applied it as decals. Finally, I added some Japaneses mosaic stamping on top and it really changed this look. Let me know which version do you like more with or without stamping?

40 great nail art ideas: Femme fatale Wonderland and Sea food gradient stamping

Introduction

Good day darlings. It's Friday and I have food inspired mani for 40 great nail art ideas. It's a gradient stamping of sea food from MoYou London Cook book 12 stamping plate. Background is sparkly blue with strong pink shimmer called Wonderland. This polish looked so pretty that I could not resist and took some swatch pictures. Although for stamping I used 3 different colors, you can not really see them on the pictures. I guess it was too much of different blue shades for my camera.

40 great nail art ideas: Pastel neon gradient with animal print stamping "Sping zepard"

Introduction

Good day darlings. This week we were doing pastel designs for 40 great nail art ideas challenge and my prompt was "Leopard print". Recently I saw gorgeous many created by Clairestelle8 where she is turning neon polish into pastels and that's exactly what I did here. Basically, you have to add layer of white polish on your sponge after you applied neons (short video tutorial will be on my IG). Also i was inspired my animal print image from MoYou London Explorer 23 which combines both leopard and zebra print. So I decided to recreate it, but with different plates because I wanted more delicate image on my small nails. Given that I had to make it on my Cinderella right hand (two nails are broken on my left hand..) clear stamper from Born pretty store turned out to be very handy. I'm not a huge fan of animal print, but this mani turned out fantastic. Too bad on my pictures you can not see very well delicate holo sparkle from Djinn, but it looks marvelous in real life. Oh yeah, I call this mani "Spring zepard", let me know what do you think about it.

The Don Deeva polish Anita Woody and scale stamping nail art "Blue mermaid"

Introduction

Contains press sample

Good day darlings. I made these "Blue mermaid nails" using wonderful glitter from The Don Deeva polish - Anita Woody applied on top of the nude glitter base. For scales stamping I used Violet MdU and Gold El Corazon polish. Since gold stamping was a bit lost, I decided to sponge some more glitter on top of it. And voila mermaid nails ready, it was also super easy to remove all this glitter. Dance legend makes amazing glitter bases, they come off nicely, you just have to hold hands under warm water for sometime.

Sinful colors Cream pink and dotting water marble nail art "Pink dotting marble"

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today's challenge for #watermarblepracticewednesday was to in incorporate dots. Well... I literally made water marble with dots and it was the most interesting WM idea I ever tried. I'made video tutorial to show you how exactly i droped polish in the water (Figure 4). Obviously I had to let WM dry and make decals out of it otherwise dots would be ruined. It dried in the cup for 24 hours before I made decals. I was delighted to see how it turned out, and took pictures right away. Unfortunately it never dried completely and after waking up in the morning I could see many dents and surface became uneven, what a disappointment. Next time, I'll try different polish and see if it will dry better.
