Pink-purple konadicure

2012-01-15T14:00:00.000+02:00

Hi,

Today I'll show you a konadicure I did with m79 image plate.

I applied two coats of Classics #261 on all nails except my ring finger, on which

I applied a light pink. I put on a coat of Sinful Colors -Bali Mist on all nails to give

them a nice shimmer. Then I stamped with Konad -Special White the designs.

I filled in the petals and made some dots with the darker color using a dotting tool.

I applied a silver rhinestone in the middle of the flower and finished with a clear top coat.

Snowmen manicure

2012-01-09T13:40:00.001+02:00

Hi,

Today it snowed for the first time this winter in my country so it totally inspired

me to do a wintery manicure. I didn't have any light blue, so I created one using

a white nail polish and some drops of a dark blue. I applied two coats of it and then

I stamped the dots from m79 Konad plate with Special White. I used a sponge

for creating the tips. Then, I stamped the snowmen from m12 Konad plate using

Deborah -01 MAT (Black), because I ran out of Special Black.

I finished with a clear top coat.

Batiste -sampon uscat

2012-01-04T11:00:00.000+02:00

Buna,

Voi scrie din nou despre samponul uscat Batiste, de data aceasta despre

gama Colour care este potrivita pentru parul brunet sau saten, avand cateva

particule colorate ce vor fi pulverizate la radacina firului de par.

Este foarte usor de folosit, trebuie doar pulverizat pe parul murdar la radacina

si apoi pieptanat. Efectul va fi mult peste asteptari. Acest produs este perfect

pentru diminetile cand nu aveti timp sa curatati parul prin spalare. Astfel, samponul

va amana spalarea obisnuita cu 1-4 zile.

Pretul unui astfel de sampon este 28 de lei si poate fi gasit pe blogul Sampon Uscat din Romania. Exista multe variante de sampon pentru diferite tipuri de par.

Ce parere aveti? Ati incercat samponul uscat pana acum?

Color Changing Mood Nail Polish

2012-01-03T15:01:00.000+02:00

Hi,

Today I'll show you the new Color Changing Nail Polish from Born Pretty.

The shade that I have is Purple/Sky blue and it changes color based on the

temperature. It's purple below 33° C and becomes sky blue above 33° C. The best

way to see the color totally changing is by putting your hands in warm or cold

water, but the changing of the color is also visible without doing it.

I applied two coats and the coverage was good, as you can see in the pictures. It takes

a little more time to dry, but you can apply a clear top coat to fix the polish.

What do you think? Did you try any color changing nail polishes?

This one is very accessible, it costs $7.84 and they ship free worldwide.

And for you - for all that are following mu blog - I have a special 10% discount

code to use on any order on their website: MKAK31 .

New Year's manicure

2012-01-01T11:47:00.000+02:00

Hi,

So this is my first manicure in 2012. May this year bring you at least as much

happiness as 2011 brought. Thanks for being again here, following my blog.

This is the manicure I wore for the New Year's eve. It is something very easy to do,

a little sparkling. I started with a base coat and then I stamped the butterflies

from m54 Konad plate with Wine Red. I applied Illamasqua -Gamma diagonally,

on half of my nail and put on a coat of Pink Glitter from Nubar above it.

Finally, I created a thin line with SuperStar -SoHo Chic and applied a clear top coat.

Christmas manicures

Hi,

Just a quick post to show you some winter manicures I made for some friends

of mine recently. Hope you like them!

Snowman manicure

2011-12-20T19:29:00.000+02:00

Hi,

Today I'll show you a new wintery manicure done with both Konad and
brushes. I started with two coats of Catrice -It Blue My Mind and then I stamped the
snowflakes from m59 image plate on 3 of my nails and made a snowman on my thumb
and ring finger. It's very easy to do - I think each of you are capable of doing it.
Use a bigger dotting pen for the snowballs and a smaller one for the eyes, nose
and buttons. Use a thin brush for the rest of the details. At the end, I topcoated
all nails and applied a silver rhinestone in the middle of the snowflakes.

I got inspired from The Naisaurus' manicure, but her was obviously much prettier.

What do you think?

Winter manicure

2011-12-17T10:08:00.000+02:00

Hi,

As the winter came and I am still waiting for the first snow to come, I decided

to create a wintery design. Unfortunately, the picture is not very clear, but it's

the best I could capture.

I started with a light blue base color and then I applied a darker blue glitter from

Sinful Colors. I stamped the snowflake fro m59 image plate on the corner of each nail

with Special White and then applied a silver rhinestone. I finished with a clear top coat.

like orange nail polish, but I can't say this about myself. I'm totally in love with them.

And this Orly shade really had a crush on me. It's not a neon color, it's more like a pastel

one. What do you think?

Mauve stripes

2011-09-19T22:13:00.002+03:00

Hi,

Today I'll show you a new manicure I made with an essence stamping plate.

Firstly, I applied two coats of Sinful Colors - Let's talk and then I stamped the design

with Jolfin Blanc. When I applied the clear top coat, something that never happened to

before just did. The stamped white fade. I think it's because of the mauve polish,

because it had never fade before, no matter what base color I used.

Anyway, this was perfectly good for me because I liked it even more.

Take a tea-bag and empty it. Cut a small piece to fit your crack. Apply a base coat on the nail

THEATRE OF THE NAMELESS Fall/Winter 2011 Collection

2011-09-06T11:03:00.000+03:00

Hi,

Today I'll show you the new nail polish collection from Illamasqua, called Theatre

of the nameless. It contains 4 vibrant shades for the new season. They are

hardwearing and chip-resistant with individual finishes from matt

to high gloss. Here they are:

Vice is a deep cherry color with a rubber finish. It's intense and eye-catching, perfect

for fall.

Kink, a deep green with rubber finish, too, that really looks pretty.

Taint is a nude color for those that don't want to wear intense colors. It's a brown that goes matte after it dries.

Last but not least, Faux. This is actually my favourite shade from this collection. The blue violet color mattifies after drying.

I also treid them with my Konad kit and here's how they look like when stamped.

In the end, I like them all. As always, Illamasqua nail polishes can be easily applied and the

dry-time is fast. The textures are delighting me, too.

What do you think?

Go to Illamasqua.com to see the entire Fall/Winter 2011 make-up collection.

Hawaiian nails

2011-08-23T12:18:00.005+03:00

Hi,

Today I'll show you a pretty hawaiian manicure done with Konad m29 image plate.

I started with two coats of my peachy franken and then I applied

Illamasqua - Gamma and Konad - Pastel yellow using a sponge.

I stamped the palm trees and the Aloha sign on my ring finger. After that, using

a thin brush I made the birds and heap under the trees. On my ring finger I applied

some fimos and finally I applied a clear top coat.

Emily's Nail Files was my source of inspiration. What do you think?

Cherry nails TUTORIAL

2011-08-21T14:03:00.006+03:00

Hi,

Today I'll show you a cute cherry manicure.

All you need for this is a dotting tool (I have this), a thin brush and some nail polish.

Here's the step by step:

After applying the base color, which for me was a light pink but you can chose any color

that you like (I think that a white, yellow or blue nail polish will suit perfectly), I made

some pairs of dots using Illamasqua Allarm.

Then, I took my Special Green from Konad and applied thin lines above the red dots for

creating the leaves.

I also made some "shiny shadows" with a thinner dotting tool. The nail polish used is

White Matt Dull polish from Born Pretty.

At the end, I applied the Sweet Color top coat.

my ring finger and Pure Ice-French Kiss on the other nails. I didn't paint the hole

nail with blue or red because I created that half moon section on the top of my nails.

2011-07-26T11:53:00.003+03:00

Hi,

Today I'll show you a pretty summer-holiday manicure. I created a

sunset on a tropical island. I strted with two coats of Dark Purple holo. I applied

a little piCture pOlish - Citrus to create the sunset effect using a needle.

I applied Claire's Lonely/Loved on the tips of my nails. I used the palm tree

design from m29 Konad plate and I stamped it with Special Black.

Finally, I applied a clear top coat.

This is how Dark Purple holo from Glitter Gal looks like, applied in two coats. This color

is opaque after a single coat. It dries very fast. After I painted the second hand's nails,

the first one's were already dried.

Check out their web site, they have a lot of pretty shades and they ship internationally.

Firstly, I applied Essence - Glisten up. I needed 4 coats for this because it

isn't really opaque.

After that, I stamped the pineapples from Konad m29 image plate. For this, I used

Konad Special Green and Special Yellow.

I finished with a clear top coat.

Hi,

Today I'll show you cute white and purple manicure.

I started with two coats of Sweet Color - Dream Purple. It is actually a very pretty

holographic nail polish.

Then I stamped the design from an essence image plate with special white.

I finished with the Sweet Color top coat.

I also got another holographic grey from Sweet Color (Black Marble) and two top coats.

This is how Dream Purple looks like on nails (two coats).

Hi,

Sorry for posting so late, I've been on a seaside holiday last week.

Here's my new Konadicure did with m73 image plate.

I started with two coats of Zoya - Malia and then I stamped diagonally the

musical notes with Special white.

On the opposite side I painted my tips with Illamasqua - Gamma and stamped

I painted the nails with Jesse's Girl - JulieG under the design.

2011-06-10T19:29:00.002+03:00

Pink summer nails

2011-06-06T18:02:00.003+03:00

Hi,

Today I'll show you a cute pink&white manicure.

I used m64 image plate. Actually, I didn't get it from a Konad store,

but from the Born Pretty store. It doesn't have the Konad sign on the back and

it's cheaper, but the design stamps perfectly, like it was original.

I stamped it with Konad Psyche Pink and I applied a pink rhinestone on each nail.

I finished with a clear top coat.

The base color used is another product from Born Pretty. I really like this one, I think

this is the most opaque nail polish I've ever worn. The coverage was perfect after a single coat.

Newspaper nails - TUTORIAL

2011-06-03T17:21:00.005+03:00

Hi,

Today I'll show you a very easy to do cute manicure.

Here's what you need: a newspaper, rubbing alcohol, tweezers and

of course, some nail polish.

Firstly, apply a nude base color on your nails. I used 2 coats of Essie-Topless&Barefoot.

Cut 10 pieces of newspaper.

Take a piece of newspaper with the tweezers and put it in the rubbing alcohol.

Then, apply it on your nail. Push it for about 5-10 seconds.

Peel it off and here's what you get:

Don't forget to apply a top coat after you peel the paper or else it will erase.

I chose a glittery top coat from Flormar, but a clear one is good, too.

This is it! Your manicure it done.

What do you think?
