Lavender purple marble NOTD

Hello, dear readers,

how are you feeling today??

It's been quite a while since I've done a marble manicure, this was my very first one, and today is time to show you my second one:) though I think it's not a success, at least not in my opinion, it looks better in pics than in real life:) My fav is the one on ring finger.

As a base I used yesterday's NOTD with China glaze Agent lavender. For marbling I took Chic 268 and OPI Alpine snow.

What do you think of the marble? Have you tried doing it? What was the result?

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

China glaze Agent lavender swatch and NOTD

Hey, dear readers,

how are you today? What polish are you wearing?

Today's NOTD and swatch is the famous China glaze Agent lavender, and I think there's no need to introduce this colour to you, as it's really well known amongst nail polish lovers:) It's a great colour for spring too.

There's 2 coats in the pics, you necessarily need 2 as one is so streaky. I also added 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat to make it shinnier.

First two pics are taken in the sun and the second two in my lightbox under artificial light and are a bit more colour accurate.

How do you like the colour? Do you own this one?

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

1-colour-double stamping KOTD

Good morning, lovelies:)

A quick but picture heavy post today, with yesterday's NOTD with Essence Happy holiday. For stamping I used China glaze Millenium and konad im m57. I chose the fishnet all-over design and the flowers that are on the same plate. All pics except the last one were taken in my lightbox with artificial light. The last one was taken indoors with flash.

How do you like the end result?

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished start of the week:*

Essence All I want LE Happy holiday swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers:)

Hope you're enjoying the last day of the weekend;) I took a few days off, and here's another polish swatch I have for you. It's from winter's limited edition from Essence named All I want. The polish is carries name Happy holiday and it's completely opaque in 2 coats, perhaps one thicker would also do. No problems with application also, although the tipwear is pretty visible soon. The colour is berry purple with subtle blue shimmer that sometimes hints to purple too. Lovely colour though:) I also added 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat.

What do you think of it? Do you own this colour too? Have any similar ones?

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

CG Devotion KOTD (Purple on lavender)

 Hey, dear readers:)

Hope you had great holidays!

Sorry for not posting this konadicure yesterday but we took a day off and went to a thermal spa centre Thermana in Laško :) So here it is today, China glaze Devotion with a konad. I used Konad special nail polish in Violet purple and im m61 and a topcoat. The image was more visible IRL as it  is now in the pics, it was a bit difficult to capture on camera. The first 3 pics were taken in lightbox with artificial light and flash, the last one indoors with flash.

How do you like the end result?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished start of the week:*
