Holographic animal print

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a cute manicure I created using m78 Konad plate.

I usually don't like this design stamped over a single and simple base colour, so I

alternated two nail polishes, Illamasqua -Gamma and Astor -Iconic Red. I also applied 

a very thin coat of Stripe Rite -Silver Holographic above and then stamped the animal 

print design. I finished with the Konad -Special Top Coat. 

What do you think?

 

Wild animal print manicure

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a gradient animal print manicure which the girl from

 LuvMyLacquer inspired me to do. I painted my nails a coat of Illamasqua -Gamma

and Illamasqua -Radium alternatively. Then, using a sponge, I created the gradient effect

using the technique shown in the picture below. The polishes I used for the gradient

were Astor -060 Iconic Red and Sinful Colors -Happy Ending. Then I stamped

the leopard design on the green nails and the zebra design on the orange nails. Both

designs are from Konad m57 image plate. I finished with the Konad -Special Top Coat.

Caviar nails

Tweet

Hi,

As caviar manicure is very popular this season, I decided to create a similar nail art, too.

I started with two coats of Astor Fashion Studio #114 and then I put my ring

finger in the steel balls box so that they stuck onto my nail. I got my steel balls 

from Born Pretty for $5,41. I finished with a clear top coat.

Astor -#70

Hi,

Today I'll show you a new manicure I made using m69 Konad plate.

I started with two coats of a blue nail polish and then I stamped the flowery design

using Special White. I applied China Glaze -Lemon Fizz in the middle of each flower

and finished with a clear top coat for additional shine. What do you think?

The blue nail polished I used is Astor -no.70 . I applied two coats of it and they offered

full coverage and perfect shine. Please visit Astor's Beauty Romania facebook page for more

Rimmel Lycra Pro -Ultra violet & m36 + m73 Konad stamping

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a manicure I made combining various nail polishes.I started with two coats of Rimmel Lycra Pro -312 Ultra violet. This nail polish has a wider brush than other nail polishes and it is easier to apply the product. It has a perfect coverage and an incredibly quick dry time. I sponged the tips using China Glaze -Re-fresh mint and then I stamped the flowery lace from m73 Konad plate using Special White. Then, I stamped the butterfly design from m36 Konadplate using Astor Quick'n go -no.17 . I finished with a clear top coat. What do you think?

Create stripes using dotting tools

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a new technique to make an abstract, striped manicure.

All you need for it is three different-coloured nail polishes and, surprisingly,

a dotting tool. If you don't have the latter, you might as well use a toothpick,

the tip of a bobby pin or a sewing pin. 

I started with two coats of Illamasqua -Gamma and then I created thinner and

thicker stripes using Sinful Colors -Amethyst and Astor -Iconic Red.

You don't have to use this colours, any other combination will look good.

Unfortunately I don't have a tutorial for this design, but please watch this Youtube tutorial

that inspired me, too. What do you think?
