Flash Blacked Agra

The base colour I used for today's mani is Agra from Herôme. Agra is a dark greyish green coloured polish with a creme finish. Beautiful colour, it applies nicely in two coats. Now I finally got my hands on a couple of Layla Hologram Effect polishes, woohoo! Thanks for the tip, Meghan! ^_^ I was curious if these awesome prismatic polishes would work as stamping polishes. Well, they do. And it looks great! Everyone should try stamping with a prismatic polish some time, the effect is really mesmerizing. I used plate BM-205 and Layla - Flash Black to create the colourful pattern.

This picture is a bit overexposed, but I love how you can see the rainbow sparkles from Flash Black. ♥

Thanks for watching and enjoy your weekend!

Zoya - Shivon

Shivon is one of the first polishes I ordered online; this means it's one of my oldest nail polishes. Call me crazy, but I never felt like I hád to try it. Till today! Isn't it beautiful? The gold shimmer in this berry/burgundy shade is so intense.. it blew my mind. The formula was good. Two coats looked ok, but I ended up applying three to intensify the base colour. I added the lovely swirly stamp with Bundle Monster plate BM-314 and China Glaze - 2030.

Thanks for watching!

OPI - Number One Nemesis with Paisley Design

One of the prettiest designs from Bundle Monster's new stamping plate set must be the paisley design from plate BM-315. I love it! At first I stamped this design with China Glaze - 2030 over three coats of Number One Nemesis from OPI (see picture below). I'm not crazy about the result, at most angles the paisley pattern wasn't very noticeable because of the sparkly base colour. So today I removed it and applied Number One Nemesis again with Essie - School of Hard Rocks on some accent nails. This time I used the paisley pattern only on the accent nails. Aah, much better! 

Thanks for watching! :h

Rainbow Candy Cane Nails

A rainbow candy cane, that's what this mani reminds me of.. just perfect for a sweet tooth like me! The base colour I used is OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls and the design is from Bundle Monster plate BM-301. I wanted a gradient look for the stamped lines, below you can find a little how-to.

1. Pick two colours and paint two stripes on the image. Leave some space between the stripes.

2. Swirl the colours together with a toothpick.

3. Grab a scraper and scrape the excess polish off. 

4. Place the stamp on the design, check if it transferred well and roll it over the nail. Work fast or the polish will turn to dry to stamp with. Some parts of the design are missing on my stamp because I had to take pictures. ^_^

Thanks for watching!

Pink & Delicate

Although I loved the design, my last stamped mani was a bit too heavy for my taste. The subtle stamped nails I'm showing you today are more my style. I used another great pattern from the new Bundle Monster plate set. I started with three coats of Catrice - Miss Piggy Reloaded and one coat of OPI - Princesses Rule!. For the stamped design I used plate BM-306 and Konad's Special Nail Polish in White. I finished with a layer of matte top coat. I really like the result, it's so delicate and lovely. ♥

Skittle Nails with Tribal Print

Let me begin by expressing my love for the new Bundle Monster stamping plate set! I love stamped nails and all those new and fun designs are very, very inspiring. Today I used the tribal pattern from plate BM-315, is that a cool pattern or what? ♥ I'm not sure what to think of this mani though. I find black as a stamping colour often too overpowering and the nails with crooked stamps don't make me happy. I do like the idea of using a tribal print on skittle nails!

Thanks for watching! :)

Flamingo Inspired Nails

Today I'm showing you another bird inspired mani (click here if you missed my peacock nails!). The colours I used for this gradient (Barry M - Peach Melba & Orly - Pixy Stix) reminded me very much of the colouring of a flamingo, so I decided to do some accent nails with feathers. For the feathers I used plate BM-214 and Konad Special Nail Polish in White. I added some sparkly accents on the feathers with Rica from Zoya. I hope you like the end result as much as I do! ^_^
