Sweet pink nail art

Tweet

Hi,

As we didn't have much snow this winter, I decided to bring some on my nails. It's still cold and January so I think this manicure is suitable for the moment. I'm definitely a winter person and I love everything about it - even the cold weather - so I think I could wear a snowflake on my nails almost anytime. 

For this manicure, I used El Corazon - Matte Effect 111 (pink) as a base colour. Then I added some ILNP - My Private Rainbow (L+S) for the subtle holographic effect. I stamped the snowflake design on my ring finger from Konad's m59 stamping plate using white stamping nail polish. I added a white pearl in the middle of it to make it even more delicate and elegant. I think that pearls will be a huge part of 2018's nail art trends because why wouldn't they? They already are present on every fashion item and I don't think nails will make an exception. And this can only make me happy because I've loved pearls since forever. I finised my manicure with Seche Vite top coat for some extra shine and protection.

What do you think? I'd love to hear your opinion on this new pearl trend!

Ethnic nails

Tweet

Hi, 

Today I'll show you my new ethnic manicure I easily created using some water decals from Born Pretty store. I started with a coat of white nail polish as a base for the nails where I was going to apply the decals. The nail polished I used on the rest of the nails were El Corazon - Matte Effect 111 (pink) and China Glaze - Too Yacht to Handle (green). If you aren't familiar with water decals, they're really easy to use and they're great for quick manicures. Firstly you have to remove the protection foil from the sheet and then cut smaller pieces containing the designs you're going to use. Next, sink them in a small bowl with water for about 30 seconds. When you take them from the water, you'll notice that de design will easily come off the sheet and you'll be able to stick it on the nail. You'll just have to be very careful as it's really thin and can easily fold by mistake. If you're using them for the first time, just take a little time and pay some extra attention. After a few uses, you'll find them really easy to utilise. I finished my manicure with clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?

Yellow roses

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you my new vibrant manicure that matches the hot season we're in. I wanted something colourful and I went for a combination of orange, green and yellow. I started with two coats of Rimmel - Tangerine Tent and then I created my own decals using Born Pretty's BP-73 stamping plate.

I started by stamping the design with Born Pretty's Black stamping nail polish and then let the image dry on the stamper. I used El Corazon - Matte Effect #145 Neon and Rimmel - Daisy days to fill in the flowers and leaves. After it dried, I applied some clear top coat and then unstuck the decal from the stamper and stuck it on my nail. I finished by applyimg clear top coat on all nails to seal everything in.

Christmas is only a few days away, so holiday inspired designs already appeared on my nails for a while now. Unfortunately, I just didn't have the time to photograph and post all the manicures I've been wearing, but here's one which I hope you'll like. I started with two coats of El Corazon - Matte Nail Polish #125 (White) and then I stamped the sweater designs from MoYou London's Festive Collection 04 image plate.

Pink October nails

Tweet

Hi,

I know it's already November, but I've been trying to show you some of the pink manicures I wore in October for a while now. During my absence on the blog, I raised awareness for the Breast Cancer AwarenessMovement through my pink manicures; still I had some technical problems and time management issues and I wasn't able to post. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures with all the manicures I wore, so I'm going to show you my most recent one.

After applying a base coat on all nails, I painted my nails two coats of El Corazon - Matte Effect 111. Using a sponge, I then applied Kaleidoscope - Zabava pink glitter using a sponge. On the accent nail, I applied a pink bow-knot nail art charm and finished with clear top coat. What do you think?

Summer animal print nails

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you an animal print nail art which I think is perfect for the hot, summer days. I started with two coats of El Corazon - Matte Effect #125 (white) on all nails and let it dry. On the first two nails, I stamped the zebra and leopard print design from Konad's m78 image plate and filled in the design using yellow and orange. On the last two nails, I created a simple gradient using China Glaze - Sun of A Peach and Rimmel - Daisy Days. Obviously, I applied Kaleidoscope Cuticle Defender around my nails before doing the gradient, so as to prevent the mess and save myself a lot of time which I would had spent cleaning everything up. I finished with clear top coat. 

What do you think?

This is how my nail art sponge looked like for this gradient. You can get a set of 3 sponges from LadyQueen.com, for only $1.29 - find it here on their website. You can also benefit from a

Limes

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you another fruity nail art I easily created using MoYou Lodon's Tropical 08 stamping plate. Keep on reading if you'd like to know more about the products I used for this mani.

A few days ago, I received my first nail mail from Moscow. Yes, my order from El Corazon shop arrived safely to destination. Below you can see the products I got and I have to say that I used all of them for this manicure.

1. El Corazon - Matte nail polish #125 (White)

2. El Corazon - Top coat like gel

3.  El Corazon - Matte Effect  #145 Neon

4. Kaleidoscope Cuticle Defender

5. Kaleidoscope White stamping polish

I applied the neon polish on all nails, except from my ring finger, where I applied two coats of matte white. Then I stamped the design using the Special White for stamping and the neon polish on the accent nail. 

I finally got my first Cuticle Defender and I have to mention that it's a great product, that saves a lot of time and effort. You just apply a little product around your nails, it dries and then you can do anything you want - stamping, gradients and so on - and finally you remove it and everything's clean! At the end, I applied the Top coat like gel. What do you think?
