Party nails

Hi Everyone,

Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday and sunday I'll be visiting a friend for her birthday party too, so this asked for party/ B-day nails.I am often on vacation with my own birthday so now I finally got to use my birthday themed plates. Plus the challenge on Nailpolis is also party/celebration nails :)

Base a subtle gradient with China Glaze Highlight of my Summer and Too Yacht To Handle. Stamped with BM-H20 the balloons, BM-H23 the word congrats, Winstonia W211 the flags and Nailways Spring Time -Birthday cake for the cake, party hat and swirly things. All done using Konad stamping polishes.

Ofcourse I had to do a matching pedi too :)

Only did the gradient on my big toe.

Here a picture of just the gradient.

And a swatch of China Glaze Highlight of my Summer.

Thanks for reading!

Have a nice weekend.

Balloons and gradient stamping

Hi Everyone,

I did this last week when I cut my nails. The challenge is a group was gradient stamping, the challenge in another group was postive/negative stamping and the challenge from BM that day was balloons. So I did all 3 in one mani.

Base Orly Goth, gradient stamped with BM310 and 3 colors Konad SN white and 2 self made mix. Later stamped the balloons from BM H20 and Konad SN black.

And some pictures before I stamped the balloons.

Some swatches of the base. Love the black with silver tiny glitter.

Thanks for reading. Next blog will be World Cup nails. Are you making World Cup nails to support your country?

Happy 2014!

Hi Everyone,

For some people in the world it is already 2014 so for those I say Happy 2014 :) I still have to wait a little less then 10 hours before it is midnight here. Hope you all have a wonderful and safe New Years Eve. Be careful with fireworks.

Here are my New Years nails from this year :)

Base Barry M Multi Glitter 333, sponged with Kleancolor metallic green, pink, yellow and blue. Stamped the firework full nail from BM-H14 in these colors on my thumb. Made a stamping decal of the clock on that plate, colored it with Kleancolor metallic yellow and Konad SN white. Stamped the Happy New Year from Nailways Snowwhite - New Years A-NW00004 plate and also the fireworks from that plate with Konad SN white. The numbers are the plate numbers from BM-H20 and BM-H14.  

I figured that when I put topcoat on the white with the sponged metallic underneath it would change color (that often happens with these metallics)...but in this case I don't mind :) and like it.  

A little inspired by a freehand mani from Polish Dept who put color underneath white fireworks.

Some more pictures with different lighting.

And here before I put topcoat on. As you can see the stamping is still white ;)

Wish you all the best for 2014 with ofcourse also lots of polish, stamping and other nail art :)

Thanks for reading!
