Love letters nail art

Tweet

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!

Sunset manicure & cute bracelet from eFoxCity

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you my new sunset nail art. I started with a coat of white polish, as a base for the gradient I was going to create. On a sponge, I applied five different shades of nail polishes, as shown in the picture below. The nail polishes used were - from top to bottom - Pure Ice -French Kiss, Zoya -Malia, Sinful Colors -Cream Pink, Picture Polish -Citrus and Avon -Inspire. 

After that, I used Bundle Monster's stamping plates to create the trees (BM-H11) and the flying bird (BM-315). I finished with clear top coat. What do you think?

Did you notice the cute roses bracelet I'm holding? I got it from eFoxCity, an online jewelry store with accessible prices. This is the bracelet shown in the pictures. It actually is a little too big for my hands, but it's still elegant and beautiful. You can order it no matter where you live, because they offer international shipping.

Apart from jewelry, eFoxCity sells some cute wholesale dresses, beach wedding dresses and cheap prom dresses. Visit their website for more information and awesome products.

 

Neon summer splatter & gradient manicure

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you my perfect-for-summer neon manicure. I started with two coats of Illamasqua -Scorch on all nails except from my thumb, on which I applied Zoya -Jolene. On my index and middle finger I applied spots of nail polish using the splatter technique. For the ring finger and pinky, I created a gradient of neon yellow and neon peach. Yes - there are only two colours there ( China Glaze -Sun of a peach and Chissa #255)! On my thumb, I firstly appied two big, white dots using a dotting tool and once they were dry, I applied the yellow and the peach colour above. I finished with clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?

Also, today's the 3 year blog anniversary! Yaaaaaay! Thank you everyone for followings as well as for commenting all my posts! I do appreciate your support :)

Bundle Monster image plates & Paisley nail art

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you my new set of stamping plates. It's the 2012 Bundle Monster set of 25 plates which I wanted to try for so long and finally got the chance. I like this brand because they always come up with new ideas and produce great stamping designs. 

Firstly, I'll show you my paisley manicure I did with BM-315 plate. I started with two coats of  Zoya -Jolene on all my nails except the ring finger, on which I applied two coats of China Glaze -Re-fresh mint. I stamped the design using a random black polish and finished with a clear top coat. 

What do you think?

Now, into the plates. I tried to photograph each of them so that you can see the beautiful designs. They are easy to clean and the image transfers really well on the stamp. I can't wait to try more of them - I already have a lot of great manicures in mind and I'd like to share them with you.

Visit Bundle Monster's website and like their facebook page if you want to find out more about their products. You may also follow them on twitter, Google+ and Pinterest. They sell their image plates on Amazon and eBay for reasonable prices and ship worldwide. 

How to create balloons on nails in 3 easy steps

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you my colourful balloon nail art which I very easily created.

If you like this manicure, keep reading for the tutorial.

Step 1 

Paint all your nails a white base colour. For this, I used Illamasqua -Scorch. After 

they have dried, apply french manicure tips on all of your nails, exactly the way I did. 

Step 2 

Chose different nail polish colours to paint the part above the tape. Wait until 

they have dried. The nail polishes I used (from left to right): Illamasqua -Faux pas, 

Astor #070, Illamasqua -Radium and Sinful Colors -Timbleberry. 

Step 3 

Remove the tape and create a thin line under each balloon with the colour

you used for that nail. Also, paint a grey or black wavy line. Use a nail art brush for this. 

Finish with a clear top coat. The nail polish I used for creating the line is called Zoya -Kelly.

What do you think? Are you going to try them?
