NOTD & KOTD: Night Violet with a golden twist

Happy New Year everybody!

I hope you all have a great year!

This is my first manicure on 2013. 

I used an older polish of mine, Avon - Night Violet as a base.

Then, I stamped a design from Bundle Monster image plate BM-314 using Flormar NA09.

   

 

 

 I just love the result, don't you?

KOTD: My Christmas Manicure (and my friend's manicure)

Hello!

Hope you all had a merry, jolly Christmas and that Santa brought everything you wished for!

Today I want to show you my Christmas manicure:

For this manicure I used:

OPI - Suzi says Feng Shui

Konad special white polish for stamping

Bundle Monster BM 323 for the snowflake design

Bundle Monster BM 318 for the snowman design (I added 2 black dots using a dotting tool and the nose using a brush)

Here are more pictures:

 

I also did my friend's manicure:

For her manicure I used:

OPI - Suzi says Feng Shui as a base

Konad Special White polish and a sponge to make the "Snowy Tips"

Christmas Water decals from Bornprettystore (on their site you can find 3 sets of Christmas water decals!! )

What do you think?

What manicure did you do for Christmas?

NOTD: Abstract Christmas Tree

Hello everybody!

Ever since I saw the tutorial on NailSide, I wanted to try to recreate the abstract Xmas tree manicure. It's the first time I use tape in my manicures (I don't have stripping tape either - must buy some) so here is my result:

It's a very nice Xmas manicure, easy to make if you follow the tutorial.

As a base I used Essence - Walk on the wild side:

 

As you can see, it's a dark green with bright green shimmer. The formula is really nice, if you are careful one coat is enough (2 coats in my pictures).

For the Xmas tree I used China Glaze - Swing baby:

Then I added a dot using a dotting tool and Essence - Fateful desire.

 

So, what do you think?

Would you wear it?

Have you tried doing your own abstract Xmas tree?

KOTD: Snowflake manicure

Hello everybody!

Today I want to show you a snowflake manicure I did last week:

I used Models Own - Aqua Violet,  a blue/purple duo-chrome. I stamped the snowflake design using Konad - Special White Polish and image plate BM 323.

 

 

 I took this pictures right under my desk lamp so that I can show you the duo-chrome effect.

What do you think?

Feel free to share your winter / Christmas manicures in the comment box if you made any!

KOTD: Gradient Day - Peacock manicure

Hello girls!

Here is another collaboration between Romanian beauty bloggers called "Gradient day".

This is an older manicure, but I hope you will like it.

 For this gradient manicure I used:

China Glaze - Gaga for green (Base)

OPI - Jade is the new black

OPI - Suzi says Feng Shui (just a little bit on the tips) 

For Romanian girls: you can buy China Glaze and OPI polishes (and many others) from Beauty in the Bottle.

 

Then I stamped a design from Bundle Monster image plate 212 using Flormar NA09.

On my ring finger I added some dots (with a dotting tool)using Sally Hansen - Frozen solid.

Here is the result:

I would like to know your opinion on this manicure!

NOTD: Purple madness - Plum Power from Sally Hansen

Hello!

This post is part of a collaboration between Romanian beauty bloggers called "Purple Madness". When I saw the theme, I knew I had to participate, because I love purple.

I want to show you a Sally Hansen nail polish called Plum Power.

 

Plum Power is a red based purple with red and blue microglitter. The application was perfect! 

What do you think about this colour? Would you wear it?
