Christmas nail art

Hi,
Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I wanted to quickly show you the manicure I'm going to wear for the holidays. I decided to go for green nails this year and for this I applied two coats of Avon - Noir Emerald. Then I took out all my collection of studs and rhinestones and combined them all so as to create some Christmas ornaments. I sealed them in using Seche Vite top coat. What do you think? What are you wearing on your nails this Christmas?

Studded french manicure


Hi,
Today I'll show you my new spring french manicure. I started with two coats of Golden Rose - Color Expert 101 and then created the white tips with Madam Glam - Snow white. I applied some coloured studs from Born Pretty store on my ring and index fingers and finished with clear top coat on all nails for a beautiful shine but also for sealing in the studs. What do you think?

French manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you something simple and elegant: a french manicure! I'm usually more into coloured nails or simply just something more than just the white tips, so I couldn't help but transforming the ring finger's nail into an accent nail. The white nail polish I used is Madam Glam - Snow white, a nail polish totally opaque after a single coat. On the accent nail, I stamped the design from Lady Queen's BC-09 stamping plate and then added some golden studs which I got from Born Pretty store. I finished with a layer of clear top coat on all nails.
What do you think?

Sandy nail art

Hi,
Here's another one of my seaside nail arts and this time I'll show you a sandy, shell-decorated one.

I applied it on all my nails, except from my ring finger, where I chose a gold nail polish base. The shells and round studs I used for decorating my manicure were from Born Pretty store.

1st of March nails

Hi,
First of all, let me say that I wish you all a happy spring, full of happiness and love! Here in Romania, we wear trinkets with red and white yarns in the honour of the 1st of March. It's our way to celebrate spring's arrival, therefore today's manicure will be a themed one. 
Considering the occasion, I decided to go for a saran wrap nail art, as it was the best way to beautifully mix red and withe together. I started with a coat of Avon - Iceberg white on all nails. On my middle and ring fingers, I firstly applied some scotch tape on the edges and then did the saran wrap. The technique is simple: you just pour randomly some drops of white and red polish and them, using transparent wrap, you mix everything until you achieve the wanted effect. The red polish I used is Rimmel - 318 Stand to attention. I finished with clear top coat on all nails and applied some square silver studs from Born Pretty store on the accent nails.

October: Breast Cancer Awareness month

Hi,
As you probably know, October is known as the Breast Cancer Awareness month, which means that this month we wear pink. Today I'll show you a themed nail art which I created a week ago, but didn't have time to post. Those who follow my instagram account might have seen it already and those who don't, I encourage you to do it, as I post more often there. 
I started with two coats of Nicole by OPI - Up & Kim-ing Pink and then I created a sort of mix and match. On my index and pinky fingers, I simply applied a darker pink stud. On my middle finger, I stamped the ribbon design from Bundle Monster's BM-321 stamping plate. On my ring finger, I applied two coats of Sinful Colors - Pinky glitter. Finally, I applied clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?

Easy-to-do manicures

Hi,
Sorry for being MIA - busy week. Today I'll show you two of my last manicures. They're both really easy and fast to do and also eye-catchy.
For the first one, I started with two coats of  Astor - 237 Orange Cosmos on all nails except from my accent nail, where I applied ProNails - Extreme white. Then, using a dotting tool, I made some dots using the other colour. You can also use bobby pins or needles for this step. Finally, I applied a golden heart stud from Born Pretty store and sealed everything with top coat. 

For the second nail art, I used a different nail polish on each nail.
 I applied two coats of Rimmel -312 Ultra Violet and clear top coat on my pinkie. On my ring finger, I applied two coats of Layla -Metal Chrome and then applied Farmasi Shimmer Nail Enamel #201 as a glitter top coat. On my middle finger, I started with two coats of ProNails - Extreme white and then I stuck some chevron vinyls I got from Nails Redesigned. Using a sponge, I applied pink and purple polish and then unstuck the vinyls. I finished with clear top coat. Finally, I applied Farmec #364 on my index finger and then sealed it with clear top coat. 

Which of the two manis is your favourite?
