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?

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!

Valentine's day manicure idea

Hi,
Today I'd like to show you a Valentine's day themed manicure. I got inspired by this tutorial, only I didn't use tape. I started with two coats of Flormar -MG05 and then I stamped the heart design from m59 image plate. As it is not a full heart design, I filled the shape in using white polish and a dotting tool. Then, I stamped the flowery design from m73 Konad plate using the base colour nail polish. I finished with a clear top coat. 
What do you think?

Pearled nails

Hi,
Today I'll show you my pearled nails. I started with two coats of a random brand of pink nail polish and then I stamped the bow from m59 Konad plate using black nail polish. After that, I applied two vertical rows of white pearls on the nails I didn't stamp the design and some others on the bow. I got mine from Born Pretty store for $3.55. I finished with a generous coat of clear nail polish.

Christmas nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you another Christmas nail art I created. I started with
two coats of Illamasqua -Scorch on all nails except my thumb and ring finger,
where I applied Sinful Colors -Ruby Ruby. The image plates used for each 
finger are, from left to right: m12, m59, m14 Konad plates and an Essence
plate for my pinkie. I used Illamasqua -Allarm for the designs stamped with
red and Konad Special White. I finished with a clear top coat.

Winter nail arts + How to create an outlined design

Hi,
This is going to be an unusually long post, including a lot of pictures. Here, in 
Romania, it has been snowing incredibly beautiful for the past 24 hours. That 
inspired me to create a snowmen nail art. 

I started with two coats of Flormar #431. Then, I applied a layer of a white 
crackling nail polish from Born Pretty in order to create the snow effect.

I used m12 Konad plate for the snowmen. The stamping technique is shown 
in the bellow picture. Firstly, I stamped the design using Special White. Then,
I filled in the design using a white nail polish. Lastly, I restamped the snowmen
design using Special Black, to create an outline effect. This is not as difficult
as it seems, and don't worry if you don't manage to stamp the design exactly
on the line of the previous one. Fill in the comforter with two different colours.
I used orange and green and applied them using a small dotting tool. 

This is the final result. I finished with a clear top coat. What do you think about
my snowmen nail art?

I also wanted to include some pictures of the beautiful scenery I see
from my windows. I really love snow! 

Here's a snowflake design I created for my best friend the day before. You
might have seen it on my Facebook page, as I already posted it. For this, I 
started with a sponged white layer on the tips and then I stamped the snowflakes 
from m59 Konad plate using black, pink and blue. Do you like them?

Polish Days: Bling manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a manicure I created a manicure for a project created by Polish Days
It started a while ago, but for me it is the first time I participate. Every now and again lovely 
ladies get together and do their nails according to a theme. This time, they decided to have a 
party theme - Bling. It is about creating a festive manicure, appropriate for the holidays coming.

I started with two coats of China Glaze -Re-fresh mint and then I applied a layer
of a random glitter nail polish called CR #78. I stamped the bows from m59 image
plate and the other designs from m14 image plate, using Special White. I finished
with the Konad Special Top Coat. What do you think?

Polka dot manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a polka dot manicure I created to match my blue, polka dot 
dress. I started with two coats of Catrice -It Blue My Mind and then I stamped the 
dots and the bow from m79 and m59 image plates, using Konad -Special White.
I finished with the Konad -Special Top Coat. It's a very easy to do manicure, 
but an elegant one. What do you think about it?

White and blue manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a new manicure I made with Konad m57 and m59 image 
plates. I applied two coats of PURE ICE -French Kiss on the middle finger
 and pinky and Matt Dull White from Born Pretty on the other nails. 
I like this white nail polish very much because the coverage is perfect after the 
first layer. It is also very accessible as the web-site ships internationally for free. 
Next, I stamped the designs with special black and white stamping
polishes. I filled in the leopard print with blue polish, using a dotting tool,
put a blue rhinestone on the index and finally, applied a clear top coat.
What do you think?

Snowman manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a new wintery manicure done with both Konad and
brushes. I started with two coats of Catrice -It Blue My Mind and then I stamped the
snowflakes from m59 image plate on 3 of my nails and made a snowman on my thumb
and ring finger. It's very easy to do - I think each of you are capable of doing it.
Use a bigger dotting pen for the snowballs and a smaller one for the eyes, nose
and buttons. Use a thin brush for the rest of the details. At the end, I topcoated
all nails and applied a silver rhinestone in the middle of the snowflakes.
I  got inspired from The Naisaurus' manicure, but her was obviously much prettier.

Sinful Colors. I stamped the snowflake fro m59 image plate on the corner of each nail
with Special White and then applied a silver rhinestone. I finished with a clear top coat.

Valentine's day Konadicures

Hi,
Here I'll show you some ideas for the Valentine's day manicure:

The first one is a french with some images. You can never go wrong with it. Even a simple french manicure it's all right. What I did is put some pink glitter top coat on the tip and stamped the cupid from m34 image plate. I also stamped a small pink heart image from plate m59 and put a little white pearl.

The second manicure is very easy to do. I stamped the bow from image m56 over a pink base and then applied some black rhinestones.

I used image plate m35 for the third manicure. Over a mauve base color I stamped the little fairy and the heart. Finally, I applied some red rhinestones.

For the last one I used a pink holographic nail polish as base color. I used image plate m59 for doing the bows and the hearts. In the middle of the bow I applied a pink rhinestones. On the rest of the nail I put some small silvery steel balls.

So, what do you think?
What manicure are you going to wear for Valentine's?
