Matching nails with my outfit: holographic m64

 Hello, dear readers and followers, hope you're having a great week:)

Today's manicure I did a while ago, when we had a party at work. I chose to wear a beige sleiveless t-shirt with a brown lace top over it. The motiv on the top kind of a matches my nails:) For the base coat I used 2 coats of Gosh Ginger, love the coverage and the drying time is great too. I have already swatched the polish in one of my previous posts.

Then I used Color club Revvvolution and Konad image plate m65.

How do you like the combination? Do you often match your clothes and nail designs/stamping?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

Mardi Gras carnival look and matching nails: Wild thing:P

Hello, dear readers and followers,

as promised I am posting this look I did for Mardi Gras  yesterday. We had a lot of fun at work!:)

I was a mixture of cheetah and leopard, and again the painting was my work, though the pictures aren't quite the best but still, I did my best;)

What was your costume for this festival?

How do you like the face painting? I have to say that this year I've tried it for the first time, up till now I always wore masks instead of painting my face. What do you prefer?

I also did a matching manicure, with Color club Love 'em or leave 'em, then stamped it with leopard and cheetah design from Konad image plate m57 and Konad black, then I filled some spots with China glaze Passion.

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

after 9 hours of wearing these colours:) check the nails;)

2nd upgrade: half moon + konad?!? Could this go?

 Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Today I bring you the 2nd upgrade of the TBN Rasberries&cream (swatched HERE, 1st upgrade HERE). Again, I used the stickers and stamped the black part of the half moon with Konad special nail polish in red. First pictures are taken without the top coat and the stamped image kind of a stands out, but then I added the Seche Topcoat to give extra shine to the whole manicure. I used Konad image plate m71.

 I really loved the effect I achieved, how about you? Have you ever tried this combination? What is your opinion on it? Would you  wear it or not?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day, and of course WEEKEND:*

Enlarge the pics to see the effect better, it looked more visible in person than in the pictures:)

Red and black=great! First attempt at half moon manicure

 Hello, dear readers and followers:)

As promised, I bring you the first up-grade of the TBN Raspberries&cream (fully swatched HERE). I have never tried the half moon manicure though I had been tempted before:)

I used the paper stickers and China glaze Liquid leather, as well as Seche Vite Fast drying top coat.

What do you think of the result? Would you wear it?

Have you ever tried this type of manicure? What is your opinion on it? Yay or nay?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

My stash :) warning pic heavy!

Hello, dear readers and followers, long time no hear from me:)

The work requires more of me than I've thought, so sorry for the lack of post :(

In the meantime I got a new storage place for my nail polishes, they were getting so many so I needed a new home for them. I bought a red metall container in Mömax (Austria) which I placed in our living room.

The total number of all polishes is 174, not so high right;)

Let's take a look at the collection.

The first pic is the stash before I began to re-organize it.

There're also 2 polishes in orange and coral, though I forgot to take pics of them.

Polishes which I tried but I don't like them anymore:) so they're going to be sold or given away:)

My treatments and top coats with some special polishes:

My collection of treatments, top coats, konad special polishes, image plates and other stuff needed for stamping organized in the drawer:



Other polishes which need to be tried and swatched:

 

That's it,  how do you organize your polishes? By colours, brands, types or any other way??

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished weekend:*

Double stamping - KOTD with m57 and m78

Hello, dear readers and followers,

are you having such a bad weather as I? Rain and nothing but rain, want summer back and sun:)

So today I'm showing you a konadicure I did while being in Mali Lošinj, and it reminds me of great time spent there. The polish used is China glaze Aztec orange, full swatched HERE.

First I used Konad special nail polish in black and konad image plate m57, then I added butterflies with m78 and Color club Worth the risque. In the end I also applied one coat of INM OutTheDoor fast drying top coat.

What do you think of the manicure? Do you like it?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, wishing you a nice and polished Sunday:*

All the pics were taken outdoors in the sun:)

Ruffian manicure with Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors - pics overload

Dear readers and followers,

how are you today? Are you also having such a lousy weather as we do here in Slovenia? It's supposed to be summer, but hey this looks like autumn or spring. Want some sunshine back!

On to the manicure:) What to do with a silver foil polish (fully swatched HERE) if not use it as a base for ruffian manicure. So I took China glaze Liquid leather and applied 1 coat over yesterday's NOTD. As you can see in the pics, Liquid leather is super glossy on itself, there isn't any top coat over it. Though the coverage isn't that good, you get full opacity with 2 coats, although there's only 1 in the pictures.

How do you like this manicure? Are you a fan of Ruffian? Have you got any favourite colour combinations? I would love to hear/ read them!

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished Thursday:*
