Orange summer nails

Hi,
Today I'll show you a colourful summer manicure I easily created using two different orange nail polishes. I used China Glaze - Sun of a peach and Essence - 96 Orange to go and applied both of them in two layers. Then, using the L04 stamping plate from Born Pretty and black stamping polish, I created two designs on my nails. I finished with Seche Vite top coat for some extra shine. What do you think?

Don’t forget that if you want to order something from Born Pretty you can use my code for a 10% discount: MKAK31.

Snowflakes nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you my first winter themed nail art that I created this year. I used my favourite blue nail polish, Essence - 180 It's raining men. Above it I added some holographic top coat only on the tips of the nails. I stamped the snowflakes from Born Pretty's Christmas series staming plate L002 using white stamping polish from the same brand (shade Pure). I finished with Seche Vite top coat. What do you think?

Hi,
Today I'll show you a nude manicure with a touch of art on it. For this one I used Born Pretty's large Valentine stamping plate BPL-002. 
I started with two coats of Essence - Tip Top Taupe and then I stamped the designs using black stamping nail polish from Born Pretty store and and Kaleidoscope white stamping nail polish. In the end, I added Seche Vite top coat for some extra shine. 
What do you think? Not so difficult to do, but definitely eye-catchy!

Aztec nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you another easy manicure that takes little time to do. For this aztec or tribal nail art, I started with Essence - 67 Love me like you do as a base colour.

I applied different patterns from the same sheet and achieved this look. I sealed everything in using clear top coat and that was it. I told you it was easy! What do you think?

Beauty Bigbang Holographic Nail Polish

Hi,
Lately I've made an obsession with holographic nail polishes and decided to order some new colours. That's how I came across BeautyBigBang, an online nail art store where you can find items in accordance with the latest nail trends. I ordered the golden holographic nail polish and used it without any other base colour. In the pictures below you can see it applied in three thin coats and the coverage is perfect. This one dires really fast so three coats is not a problem. I created an accent nail using Essence - 99 Tip Top Taupe as a base colour and then applied two stripe vinyls to create the holographic line in the middle of the nail. I finished with clear top coat on all nails but I recommend you not to do this as the holo is much more prettier without it. 

I also have a surprise for you. If you'd like to order anything from their website, here's a 10% off discount code to use with any order -  KNAD10.

Essence - Love me like you do

Hi,
Today I'll show you a very simple manicure that I like a lot. I think it's because of this beautiful base colour that I totally fell in love with. It's Essence 67 Love me like you do and I applied two coats of it. What I liked the most about it was the shiny finish. If  I let it like that, I wouldn't have needed top coat for extra shine. Still, I decided to add something more, so I went for a silver glitter nail polish which I applied only on the tips of my nails using a nail art sponge. I finished with Seche Vite top coat. What do you think?

Kitty manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a cute kitty manicure.
I strated with two coats of Essie -Nice is Nice and then I stamped the kitty
from Konad m83 plate and the paws from an essence plate. I applied pink
rhinestones near the kitty and finished with a clear top coat.
I also applied some pink rhinestones. I stuck them with the clear glue from Born Pretty.
It sticks rhinestones very well and they last longer on nails. The package is actually very big.
I recreated this manicure from this one right here.

Mauve stripes

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.
