Matte flakies

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you another easy to do tape manicure. I started with two coats of Illamasqua - Taint on all nails and after it completely dried, I placed some scotch tape so as to create the V at the base of each nail. I applied Sweet Color flakies nail polish from Born Pretty store - you can find it here on their website; it's shade #4. Also check out this old post of mine to see more beautiful swatches of it. Finally, I removed the tape while the polish was still wet and finished with Flormar's Matifying top coat. What do you think?

Happy New Year 2015!

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you the manicure I'm going to wear for this New Year's eve. I wanted something simple, but eye-catchy, so just went for glitter. I used Marsala as the base colour for my manicure, as it was chosen by Pantone to be the colour of the year 2015. The nail polishes used were Illamasqua - Vice and Sephora by OPI - Come to Pappa-razzi!. I applied the glitter using a sponge to maximize its effect and applied matte top coat over it. What do you think?

Happy New Year!

Pin-up nail art

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you my first pin-up manicure. I have to say that Gia Makeup Blog was my main source of inspiration. After seeing her beautiful cherry nails and her posts about pin-up, 

I knew I had to do them!

I started with a coat of Oriflame -Night fever and after it dried completely, I applied some round french stickers like these here and applied two coats of Illamasqua -Alarm. I removed the stickers before the nail polish dried. Then I created some dots and lines using white nail polish and the brushes and dotting tools set from Born Pretty store. 

On my accent nail, I started with two coats of white (Flormar -M01) and then I stamped the cherry design from Cheeky Beauty's GA16 stamping plate. I finished with Golden Rose -Matte Top coat on all nails, but didn't apply it over the black part.

What do you think?

 

I attached the two pictures below so you can better see that the reverse french is shiny, while the rest of the design is matte. To achieve this effect, I used Golden Rose -Matte Top coat.

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?
