Essence - Love me like you do

Hi,
Today I'll show you a very simple manicure that I like a lot. I think it's because of this beautiful base colour that I totally fell in love with. It's Essence 67 Love me like you do and I applied two coats of it. What I liked the most about it was the shiny finish. If  I let it like that, I wouldn't have needed top coat for extra shine. Still, I decided to add something more, so I went for a silver glitter nail polish which I applied only on the tips of my nails using a nail art sponge. I finished with Seche Vite top coat. What do you think?

White and nude gradient nails

Hi,
Today I'll show you the first manicure I made in 2018. I decided to go for something simple, yet eye-catchy, so I decided to start with a nude base colour. I applied two coats of Rimmel - Princess Pink and then created a snow effect gradient using a sponge with the nude polish and Madam Glam - Snow white. On the accent nail, I applied only clear rhinestones on the entire nail. I stuck them using clear top coat and at the end, I applied another coat of it to seal them in. I used Seche Vite top coat for some extra shine on all nails. What do you think? Would you wear this manicure?

New Year's Eve nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you the manicure I'm going to wear for this New Year's Eve. I named them 'comet nails' as this golden sparkle placed in the middle of my nails reminds me of the tail of the comet. I started with two coats of Sephora - Black lace on all nails and then I took my nail sponge for the next steps. I applied the golden polishes using the edge of the sponge and tried to create a straight line in the center of my nails. Firstly, I applied Shimmer Polish - Tracy and then I applied Sephora by OPI - Come to Pappa-razzi. I also applied the second polish using a toothpick and concentrated on placing the glitter particles more to the center. I finished with Seche Vite top coat for some extra sparkle. What do you think about my comet?

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?

Seaside nails

Hi,
My luggage is ready and so are my holiday nails, so now I'd like to show you my new seaside nail art. The base for this manicure is a blue gradient that I created using Rimmel - Out of the blue and Rimmel - Too cool to tango over a white base coat. After sealing it with clear top coat, I took my water marble glass, poured a drop of Avon - Prompt and Pearly and then sprayed it and inserted my finger in the water. This way, I created the sea foam effect. On my index and middle fingers, I created a hole using a thin brush and acetone and then applied a shell sticker from Born Pretty store. I also added a white pearl from the same store. I finished with clear top coat. What do you think?
