Femme Fatale Stand in the clouds and "Snow angel" stamping

Introduction

Good day darlings. It's orthodox Christmas today, merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it today!!! Specially for you I wanna share this simple stamping design "Snow angel". Base polish has very appropriate name Stand in the clouds and looks gorgeous, although it was quite sheer and required 3 coats. Next time I'm gonna use it on top of green base.

Challenge your nail art: "Silver & gold Christmas" with Mona Lott from The don Deeva

Introduction

Press sample

Merry Christmas darlings, have a wonderful time with your family and friends. Here is silver and gold Christmas nail design which you might enjoy on this special day. I used wonderful silver glitter from The Don Deeva called Mona Lott on top of the nude peel of base and added some real gold particles using Gold leaf topper from Dance legend. To complete this look I also applied golden Christmas tree and snowflakes from Bundel monster. Using metallic confetti is really challenging for me, but I think this design turned out much better than last year. In fact it was super sparkly, but I completely failed to catch it with my camera. Next time I'm gonna use this glitter on a sunny day and you will see how gorgeous it actually is.

Challenge your nail art: Ugly Christmas sweater stamping nail design

Introduction

Good day darlings. It's time to share my ugly Christmas sweater nail design. I used classical colors - green background plus white and red stamping. On my ring finger I stamped white image of two reindeers from BP1 plate and added some red dots and heart on top of it. For all other fingers I applied white, red and white polish on stamping plate and did multicolor stamping. It is not perfect, because sometimes white and red mixed together, but that's exactly something that you would expect from ugly sweater, is not it?

Challenge your nail art: stamping decals nail art with Infinity nails 113 plate "Winter wonderland"

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I want to share super cute nail design done using stamping decals technique. The base polish is gorgeous thermal from Femme Fatale called Blue within Blue eyes and it changes color from pale blue to intense blurple. For stamping images I used Infinity nails stamping plate and I also used a large number of Mundo de unas and some El Corazon polishes to color my decals. Before taking pictures, I was sure that decals were really good, unfortunately with close ups you can see that they are not that great. Next time I'm gonna do decals with better light and probably I should use some magnification. Anyway, it was really fun to make like coloring a Christmas book from childhood.

Reindeer wrapping paper inspired nail art with foil stamping

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I have nail design of which I'm really proud. In order to combine two challenges, I wanted to make something inspired by wrapping paper with reindeer. Among all beautiful gift wraps which I found online, one with  simple light brown background and foiled reindeer design really cough my attention. I decided to replicate it using foil stamping technique which last time turned out so great. Moreover this time I had special foil top coat from Picture polish called Revolution. It was recommended by one of my readers, the owner of Pins patterns and polish blog. Thank you, thank you so much  it works so perfectly for foils, does not smear them or interfere with holographic shine. However, since I was using White Konad for stamping and red foil it was way more difficult to get clear image. All the tiny bits where foil did not stick where showing right away. I had to repeat several times until it started to work well. So my recommendation is to use stamping polish similar in color to the foil. Unfortunately non of my red stamping polishes worked well for this technique. I also tried to cover entire nail with foil and this worked very well with Color club Berry and bright as a background. Finally, to finish this look I stamped Christmas tree and snowflakes on top of the foiled nails and covered everything with two coats of Revolution. This top coat helped to preserve foil for several days, needless to say it made me super happy.
