Day 337) It's my B-day :D

Today is my Birthday!

I actually wanted to give myself a day off :D

But this freaking challenge won't let me...;P

 

I did go for an easy look though.

Purple holo glitter gradient (which sums up all the things I love)

And some stamping (easy)

 

 

 

Day 301) Wild and edgy nails

With today's nail art I didn't really have a goal.
That is for the design.
I did have a goal color wise.
I just needed to do a nail art with my favourite color combo: black with holo glitter.
And the design I ended up with was wild and edgy (I think).
I could have called it icicles or stalactites/stalagmites but that sounds less hot right ;-D

Polishes used:
- Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 39 Black To The Routes
- Flormar P046 (holo glitter)

 

 

Day 275) Nail art abstract

I recently saw a swatch of a polish with holo glitter and just needed to have it (for Christmas of course ;D).

I swatched it for you and here it is:

Kleancolor Nail Lacquer 137 Holo Yellow

 

 

The nail lacquer above can be described as a goldish yellow with holo glitter.

Holo glitter (which can't be compared to complete holo's) gives a more subtile holo effect.

This polish needs light! Otherwise it wil just be a plain dark yellow/goldish look.



The polish covers in 1 coat but there will still be a difference between tip and the rest of the nail.

Above is 3 coats.

Drying time is very slow. And I'm always in a hurry so that's no plus.

If I have to apply more coats I want to apply them as soon as possible after one another.

The complete look also has to dry fast because with 4 kids it's only a few minutes and there will be the first bump. They need to be kid proof as I like to call it ;D

This one isn't.

 

But for 4$ I'm happy with it.

Great polish for holidays and summer!

 

 

For the Nail art I just wanted to use some other sparkly nail polishes :D

I ended up with an abstract design

 



 

Polishes used:

- Kleancolor Nail Lacquer 137 Holo Yellow

- Color Club 959 Sparkle and soar

- OPI Coutere de Minnie Cover Magazine Mouse

- Color Club AWA04 Gift of sparkle

Day 230) Nail art dragonfly

Today is catching up day.
Nothing special; just a simple dragonfly nail art.

But I did use some pretty colors!

Color Club - AWA04 Gift of sparkle

The base of this polish is a watery dark blue. Then it's generously filled with purple, red and holo glitter. The purple and red glitter gives it a duochrome look and the holo makes it extremely nice to look at!
I found the applying of this polish very easy as it goes on smooth (like a polish should be) and only 2 coats is enough for a good coverage.
It dries fast and kinda matte. I would recommend to apply a topcoat.


And here is my dragonfly nail art. For the design a used a striper brush and a holo polish:
KOH Colours - 133 Platinum Silver!

Day 190) Nail art holo glitter with flower stamp

Last week I bought a nail polish here in Portugal that I have to share with you lovely ladies, because it's just that beautiful!
I bought it at the Douglas store (perfumery) for €2,- (which is 2,57 USD).
It's a kind of holo glitter.
In the dark it might look like a plain grey but when you're in direct (sun)light it will take your breath away!
Here is my best picture at night:

Flormar Supershine Perfect Polish - P046 (2 coats)

Can you see what I'm raving about???!!!

Today has been a day of shopping and going out for dinner.
It is almost midnight so I want to do an easy nail art.
Luckily I found a stamping set here for €8,99 (11,56 USD).

Kand stamping kit

This kit contains:
-Stamping polish (black, white and red)
-Image plates
-Scraper
-Remover pads
-Stamp
-Stamp with scraper
-Remover pen

I used the following image plate:

Kand image plate M38

 



The exotic flower (the one with the scratches), is the image I used.

The picture isn't doing the polish any justice, but believe me when I say: It is beautiful!!
