Challenge your nail art: Sinful colors Pinky glitter and snowflake stamping pond nail art "First snow"

Introduction

Good day darlings. Today I want to show you another pond mani, this time with snowflakes. Surprisingly, it's a pink pond, because I though it would be perfect for representation of delicate first snow. In addition to pink jelly Carol by Julep I used pink holo Pinky glitter from Sinful colors and this combo turned out spectacular. Also while stamping snowflakes I used both white and silver colors which resulted in very interesting final look. You can appreciate detailed beauty of this design from my macro images, where I was able to catch holo sparkle and depth. I created this design for Challenge your nail art, you can find list of all prompts at the end of my post. And it looks like this 12 days Christmas challenge is going to be super fun!!!

30 Days of Colour: Lead light stamping "Dancing beauty"

Introduction

Day 12 is about jelly polish and I want to show nail art done with leadlight stamping technique. It's called "Dancing beauty" and was inspired by my best friend, we know each other more than 16 years and she is amazing ballroom dancer and teacher. I had this idea about a month ago and was waiting for my nails to grow long enough. The main challenge in this  art was to make stained-glass windows around dancer and flower, as I did not have stamping image of widow with space. So I had to make stamping decal and cut it into pieces to combine different parts of windows into one with the space in the middle. Also, the stamping image which I used for windows was asymmetrical and it was super hard to position it, as it never looked straight.  Nevertheless, I really like final result and sparkle of Dark crystal on the background makes it even more special.

Winter nail art challenge: Christmas candies

Introduction: 

Today the challenge was to make nail art related to Christmas candies and I knew right away that my inspiration will be candy cane. I decided to make something more complex than just stripes, and water marble technique seemed to be ideal for candy nails. Water marbling can give gorgeous results, but you need to be patient. Looks like this time I nailed it :)

September Nail Art Challenge: Stamping Month! Day 10: Trees

Introduction:

The topic of this challenge was Trees and of course I have only few images of trees on my plates (including palm trees which I already used for "travel" stamping ). So i decided to do something completely different, real Canadian forest with spruce, amanita and snails. Basically it's a story about lost baby snail and her brave mom going through the forest to find the little one...
