40 great nail art ideas: Pink needle drag floral design

Introduction

Good day darlings. I'm on vacation in Russia, but I'll try to write couple blog posts and share some pictures on IG. This week challenge for 40 great nail art ideas was pink & lilac and my specific prompt was needle drag. I just received this gorgeous pink-lilac jelly with copper glitter - Wear it like armour Cadillaquer, perfect shade for spring and for this challenge. However it would not work as a base for needle drag technique as it requires 3 coats to reach opacity. That's why I did needle drag design using clear base polish and bright pink-magenta polish called Electra on top of the silicone mat, let it dry and applied as decals. Also, I added some individual glitters on top so that it would look like flowers. On pictures it looks a bit messy, but in real life those flowers looked wonderful. And did I mention that I'm in love with this particular shade of lilac? I'm sure you'll see it again on my blog.

30 Days of Colour: Neon gradient with double stamping and Enchanted polish 7 nations army "Geometric escape" or "Dragon fruit"

Introduction

I did not have any new textured polish for textured/geometric prompt in June 30 Days of Colour, so I went with geometric. The background for white triangle stamping is a bit complex. I started with neon gradient, and added some floral stamping. This looked super pretty and I'll publish it as a separate mani next week (you can find it here). however it did not look complete, so I used it as a base for this challenge and added some triangles from BM 414 plate.  Still could not stop and added gorgeous glitter with holo effect 7 nations army as a topper, only after that I was fully satisfied.
