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.

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.

Femme fatale Hundred year's winter swatch and dry marble glow in the dark nail art

Introduction

Good day darlings. It's been a while since I posted last swatch of Femme fatale polish, but I still have few of them left among untrieds. Meet Hundred years of winter, wonderful mauve polish with intense teal shimmer. I would never imaging that this shade of polish could steal my heart, but somehow added shimmer makes it irresistible for me. To complement Hundred year of winter, I decided to make glow in the dark dry marble design inspired by Sveta Sanders. Dry marble is definetly not that easy for me, but I'm pretty pleased with results. Of course my favorite look is while Black light (UV) is on.

Spiral dry marble nail art for OMD3 #mynailsandmybag prompt "Spiral flowers"

Introduction

Good day darlings, I'm catching up with last prompts of #OMD3 challenge and here is #mynailsandmybag nail art. It was inspired by my bag which I currently use the most - cute diaper bag with colorful floral pattern. I was thinking to do some floral stamping, until I saw gorgeous spiral dry marble design done by talented Russian blogger Zlata. I loved it so much, that immediately wanted to make something similar and it looked perfect to match my bag. After some practice this new for me technique gave pretty nice results. On my short nails I was not able to use more than three different colors, but I still like final version, even though some colors are missing. Central flowers were added using dotting tool after i finished marble on all 5 nails, otherwise, they were spreading too much. This type of marble is beautiful and very unique, is not it?
