Red and white stamping nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you another Christmassy manicure and for this one I chose the classic Christmas colours, red and white. I started with two coats of Melkior - Art Red and then I stamped the ribbon and the snowflake from Konad's m59 image plate. I finished with clear top coat for some extra shine and protection. Simple as that, what do you think?

Elegant nude manicure with Born Pretty nail polishes

Hi,
Today I'll show you an elegant, nude manicure. For this one, I used two new nail polishes from Born Pretty. One of them is the nude base, called Breeze Love. I applied two coats of it on all nails. Then I decided to add some accents. On my pointer I stamped a design from Konad's m79 stamping plate using white stamping polish. On my ring finger, I added some gold glitter from Born Pretty. This glitter polish is called Summer Vibe. I finished with Seche Vite top coat on all nails. What do you think?

Palm trees stamping nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you a new summery stamping nail. For this manicure I started with two coats of Rimmel - Too cool to tango. Then I stamped the palm tree designs from MoYou London Tropical 12 stamping plate using Konad Special green polish. In the end I added a thick coat of Seche Vite for some extra shine and for sealing in the design.

Sweet pink nail art

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!

Sweet pink and green tropical manicure

Hi,
Today I felt the need to paint my nails in something more colourful, more joyful or even something tropical and I remembered that I saw this cute pink palm trees pijama from ASOS a few days ago and decided that it was going to be my inspiration. I started with a base coat and then applied two coats of Rimmel - Sweet retreat. Then I stamped the leaves design from MoYou Nails Tropical 12 stamping plate using Konad's green stamping nail polish. I finished with Seche Vite top coat for some extra shine. What do you think?

Houndstooth nail art

Hi,
Do you remember houndstooth? It feels like it's been such a long time since this pattern was a trend! So I went back in my blog archive and looked for the last houndstooth nail art I've created. It was in 2012 and you can see it here. It is so beautiful, I have no idea why everyone seems to have forgotten about it. That made me nostalgic... Please tell me, am I the only one who misses houndstooth? I plan to wear it again in another combination, I was thinking about dark green and black. 
For this manicure I used Makeup Gallery - Pillar Box Red on all nails except from my accent nail, where I applied two coats of Madam Glam - Snow White. I stamped the houndstooth design from Komad's m63 image plate using black stamping polish from Born Pretty. I finished with Seche Vite top coat for a perfectly sealed design and some extra shine.What do you think?

Paris manicure

Hi,
I've recently returned from my trip to Paris that you can read more about here on my travel blog and wanted to share with you this Paris inspired manicure. I started with two coats of white nail polish and then applied some nail strips and painted Rimmel - Peachella over them. Using a sponge, I applied some glittery particles on the base of my nails. I stamped the Eiffel tower from Bundle Monster's BM-418 image plate and the heart and butterflies from Konad's m78 image plate. The perfume bottle on my pinkie is a water decal from Born Pretty store. I finished with clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?

Ice cream nails

Hi,
Today I'm participating in a nail art challenge with some other amazing girls and the theme is ice cream. For this manicure, I started with two coats of nude nail polish and then I stamped the design from Konad's m57 image plate with a darker brown so as to create the ice cream cone effect. Then I painted the ice cream globes using a thin brush. For my thumb, index finger and pinkie, I used Rimmel - Sweet retreat and for the rest of the nails I combined China Glaze - Too Yacht to Handle and some Love Charlotte nail polish. Finally, I added some sprinkles and them clear top coat. What do you think?

Don't forget to check out the other girls' manicures, they're all pretty!

Summer animal print nails

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

Studded animal print manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you my new animal print manicure. I started with two coats of Glitter Gal -Serpent Black on all nails except from my ring finger, where I applied two coats of Flormar #394. On the ring fingers, I applied both polishes as you can see in the pictures. I stamped the leopard print from m57 Konad using black polish and filled in the design using a dotting tool and Avon -Gold Lustre. Finally, I applied some studs I got from Born Pretty store for only $4,89. They come in a nice pack of silver and golden studs of different shapes and sizes.

I finished with Glitter Gal -Gloss Boss clear top coat, which I simply fell in love it. It has everything I look for in a top coat:
• glossy finish
 super fast dry time 
 it doesn't spoil the nail art underneath
I can say the same thing about the black polish, too. Perfectly opaque after two coats, this is the one black polish I'm not afraid of wearing.

You can find Glitter Gal products online and they can be shipped anywhere in the world.

Lastly, I'd like to show you my new 7 pieces knuckle ring set. You can see 4 of them in the picture below. What I like about them is that they are my first knuckle rings which actually are knuckle size and fit my fingers. So if you have really thin fingers, as I do, I definitely recommend you this set.

China Glaze -Passion

Hi,
Today I'll show you a beautiful nail polish from China Glaze -Passion. It's a metallic shade of gold, which is great for stamping, too. Really opaque after a single coat, the nail polish looks attractive no matter if stamped or used as a base colour. If you are seeking for nail polishes which are perfect for Christmas, this one should definitely be on your list. 

Buna,
Astazi va voi arata o oja superba de China Glaze -Passion. Este un auriu metalic, care se poate folosi si pentru stampilat. Foarte opaca dupa doar un strat, oja e atractiva atat folosita pentru un model, cat si ca baza. Daca sunteti in cautarea ojelor perfecte pentru Craciun, aceasta trebuie sa fie pe lista voastra.

Daca locuiti pe teritoriul Romaniei, puteti comanda aceasta oja in exclusivitate de pe 
Beauty in the Bottle. De asemenea, ei aduc la comanda oje de la diferite firme care nu se gasesc in tara noastra, la preturi rezonabile.

Instagram
Anul acesta, pe Beauty in the Bottle vor fi reduceri in 29 noiembrie cu ocazia Black Friday, ce vor incepe la ora 00:00. Daca va tenteaza ceva, intrati pe site cat de devreme deoarece presimt ca ojele se vor termina rapid. Preturile sunt oricum accesibile, iar cu reducerile aplicate vor fi si mai tentante.

For the simple manicure, I just added some black rhinestones on my ring finger and finished with a clear top coat. For the stamped one, I used Flormar #399 as a base colour and then stamped the design from Konad's m78 image plate. I finished with clear top coat, too. 

Pentru manichiura simpla, am folosit doar niste pietricele negre si un top coat transparent. Pentru cea stampilata, am folosit  Flormar #399 ca si culoare de baza, iar am folosit modelul de pe placuta m78 de la Konad. Am aplicat in final top coat transparent.
