Femme fatale March hare and Infamous riddle swatch

Introduction

Good day darlings. I'm back from my vacation and finally have time to write a blog post. You will find below two gorgeous Femme fatale polishes from Mad Tea-party collection. First one is olive green with orange shimmer called Infamous riddle. This polish is very unique and looks great on my fingers. I applied two coats of this polish, took pictures and realized that it would be a great base for March hare. Therefore, one coat was sufficient to show all the beauty of this golden-brown polish full of holographic microglitters and intense green shimmer. Finally, I could not resist and added stamping design combined with some dotting to complement these pretties. Love how glitters sparkle behind stamped image. Check out my IG for video tutorial.

Good day darlings. I'm feeling little sick lately, so here is one of my old and never posted designs. Background is gorgeous burgundy Picture polish called Moscow. It has some holo particles, which I was trying to capture, experimenting with light. Simple stamping was done with silver MdU polish.

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.

40 great nail art ideas: Red ikat nail art

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I have red ikat nail design inspired by beautiful dress. This was my 40 great nail art ideas challenge for this week and I never did ikat nails before. I found pictures of this dress while looking for examples of ikat designs and immediately fell in love with it. Initially I planned to make more detailed drawing, but it was quite difficult... so I ended up with fairly simple result.

Red gradient and golden Christmas ornaments nail art with metallic tattoos

Introduction

Good day darlings. Once again I decided to combine two challenges When colors collide, Red and gold prompt and Ornaments for 12 days of Christmas nail art challenge. I started with red gradient including dark red cream Valentine (next to the cuticle), red cream Shock (middle) and red jelly with gold shimmer Vegas (on the tips). This gradient turned out very beautiful and so reach. I tried my best to show it on pictures, but it was even better in real life. To make golden ornaments which would really pop up, I used gold tattoos. It's my second time using tattoos for nail art and I'm absolutely in love with the final result. So bright and festive, I could wear these for entire Holiday season and never get bored.

Enchanted polish gradient with El corazon metallic tattoos "Silver tattoos"

Introduction

Good day darlings, today I have a design with silver metallic tattoos. For this nail art I started with one coat of Enchanted Polish Reign beau, added sponge gradient with La-la land (at the tips) and Reign beau (closer to the cuticle) and topped this beauty with Rainbow juice. Gradient turned out very subtle, but still lovely. After my polish dried I applied elements of metallic tattoos (application is the same as for regular water decals), let them dry and added one layer of top coat. It has been a while since I wanted to try tattoos in nail art and I'm pretty please with results, although the ring finger with a portion of tattoo on the skin looks strange too me. For the macro challenge prompt "Design without polish" I applied tattoo straight on my thumb nail and it looks ok, I just had to seal it with top coat. Overall, I think that metallic tattoos are nice to experiment with and I'll try to come up another design soon.

Picture polish Bohemian and Paris with Moon nails stamping using Pueen 48 "Half moon coral"

Introduction

For the Stamp one, stamp all ten prompt we had to make ornate coral nails with stamping plus another nail art technique. Normally I like to combine my stamping with something else, but this time I just could not decide what to add to the combo which I had in mind - coral Paris and gold stamping. Finally I thought to try half moons for the first time. This did not work really well, because Bohemian is top sparkly for half moons and it looks untidy on pictures (my half moon is also not perfect), I guess contrast polish would be better. I finished with super tiny french tips to give it complete look. Oh and I used new stamping polish in my collection which I bought from Moon nails supply, as you can see it stamps beautifully. I bought 2 mini sets, total 16 bottles,  and some colors are really unique, so you will see more of this polish soon.

This is my entry for matte/monochromatic prompt in 30 Days of Colour. Gorgeous matte Savita plus stamping with my resent obsession metallic Bissu, this polish stamps wonderfully.
