T.P.A. Group Challenge: 3. Inspired by your zodiac sign - Cancer

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you the third themed manicure in the T.P.A. Group Challenge. The Cancer, my zodiac sign inpired me for this manicure and so I decided to create the beach nail art below.

I started with two coats of March Nail Lacquer #1 from Born Pretty and then I Applied a coat of BB Cream Boutique -02 Sparkling Red (actually, the polish is gold) on the tips. Then I applied a coat of  Shimmer Polish -Tracy over the gold layer. On my index finger, I stamped the palm tree design from m29 Konad plate using black polish, and then, using a really small dotting tool, I added some green polish to complete the design. On the rest of my nails, I created the cancer design. I used B23 stamping plate from KKcenterhk, which is the equivalent of m33 Konad plate. Following this tutorial, I created the little, outlined crabs. The red I used was Illamasqua -Alarm.I added some small details and finished my manicure with clear top coat. What do you think?

Hi,

Today I'll show you the second manicure in the T.P.A. Group Challenge: Inspired by a flower. My nail art represents a rose fence, which was actually my inspiration. 

I started with two coats of  Claire's -Lonely/Loved and then I stamped the design from Cheeky's GA21 using white polish to create the wooden fence look. Then I stamped the branches from Bundle Monster's BM-323 plate using Konad -Special Green. I finished with some roses from a no-brand image plate (B51) using Sinful Colors -Dream On. I finished with clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?

Matte animal print manicure

Tweet

Hi,

Many of you might have already seen the manicure I'm posting today, as I shared it with you on facebook a few weeks ago. I must specify that these are not my nails in the pictures, they are a friend's. I started with two coats of BB Cream Boutique -02 Sparkling Red (which is ironic because the polish is actually gold) on all nails except from the ring finger. Then I applied striping tape horizontally and also black nail polish above. By removing the tape, I got those beautiful, golden stripes. On my ring finger I applied two coats of Avon -Well being and then I stamped the leopard design from m57 Konad plate. I applied some gold polish to complete the design. I finished with clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?

T.P.A. Group Challenge: 1. Inspired by Pop Art - Orangeade

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you the manicure I created for I challenge I've just entered. It's called T.P.A. Group Challenge (The Polish Addict is a group of nail art maniacs from Romania who share the passion). The creator of this was Georgia, whose blog is well worth visiting. 

Today's theme was Inspired by Pop Art. I started with two coats of Golden Rose Holiday #53 on all nails except my ring finger and pinkie on which I applied two coats of Flormar -M01. On the orange nails, I stamped the bubbles design from H20 plate, using white polish. I didn't apply any matte top coat because Golden Rose is already matte. On the white nails, I wrote FIZZ using a really thin brush and then outlined it. On my pinkie, I stamped an outlined orange using this technique. I filled in the remaining space with a tiny dotting tool. I finished with matte top coat. 

Golden Rose Holiday #53

I also wanted to share with you the goodies I've just bought from Golden Rose. #53, #58 and #59 from Holiday collection - with matte finish and sand effect; and #115 from Jolly Jewels collection. Which would you like to see next?

And here's the picture of the including all the themes. It will last for 31 weeks and I will post a manicure each Saturday. What do you think?

Love letters nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you my so called 'Love letters' nail art. For this manicure, I started with two coats of Avon -Pearl Pink and then I stamped the writing design from BM-311 plate using Zoya -Kelly. I used this polish in order to get a faded text effect. On edges, I applied some Lucidarling -Sequins Ruby Purple glitter. Then I stamped the flowers (from m35 and BM-311 plates) and the butterfly (from BM-303 plate). I finished with clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?

I'm also participating with this manicure in Little Beauty Bag's contest. Wish me luck!

Later edit: I won the contest! I'm so so happy!

Shimmer Polish -Jenny

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you another gorgeous Shimmer Polish glitter nail polish. I applied a thin coat of Jenny after applying a coat of Rimmel -Out of the blue as a base colour. The multitude of shiny, coloured particles of glitter perfectly suit the light blue base in which they are mixed. What I liked was that the polish remained shiny after it dried, too.
You can find Shimmer Polish glitters online, on Etsy. A 0.5 Fl. Oz. bottle costs $12 and they can be shipped worldwide. Don't forget to like Shimmer Polish on facebook so as to always be informed about their new arrivals.

After that, I stamped the flower design from m79 Konad plate using Konad -Special White. I finished with clear top coat. What do you think?
