CHROME ROSES

Hola Chicas!

To easy my "no buy anxiety" I decided to use all my unused plates and images, hence this mani. It is very girly I would say, but I really like how it turned out.

What I used:

  • China Glaze Pack lightly; base 2 coats.
  • Bissu Metalico in Metalarte; stamping.
  • Bissu Metalico in Galactica; stamping.
  • Moyou London Artist Collection 11; stamping plate.
  • Organic Nails Kapping Top Coat.


Even when I'm not too much of a pink fan, I really love this shade, which leans more on to the peach hue with a subtle shimmer that is more evident in the bottle than on the nail. Start off with Pack lightly let dry and then stamp with Metalarte and Galactica; I put some random spots of both on the plate and then scrape to blend the colors for a gradient effect. I have to say I will be combining these 2 more often!

So that's it ladies, hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Nos vemos, see you soon :)

ABSTRACT RAINBOWS

Hola chicas!

I know I've been lazy last week, but the weather it's been so nice that I have spent most of the day playing outside, having bbq's and going down the river in picnics and treks with my hubs and little boy with no chance to sit down and do nails.

Today's mani is quite of a mixture, I wanted to use the lead light technique or as my hubs calls it: "your coloring book nails" and an accent. I must say it started as something a bit different than the final result but I'm really pleased on how they turned out.

What I used:


  • Kleancolor White; base, 2 coats.
  • Bunch of DIY polishes that I mixed from assorted Kleancolors.
  • Nail art brush.
  • MDU black
  • Hehe026; for the lines.
  • KD27; for the Pegasus on accent nail.
  • Kleancolor Mr. Right; holo glitter top coat
  • Kleancolor Love you teal I find someone better; glitter.
  • Kleancolor All that glitters and glows; glitter.
  • Kleancolor Starry sky; glitter.
  • Seche vite; top coat
After letting the white base dry I stamped the lines with plate Hehe026 and then filled the lines with the jelly colors using a fine nail art brush and then put a coat of Mr. Right for some holo glittery fabulousness. For the accent nail I layered all the glitters, let that dry and the stamped the pegasus with plate KD27 and for some extra I added a star shaped glitter.

I should of take a pic of all the glitters layered because they look so pretty and they work really well together, I think I will do a simple mani just with this glitter sandwich combo.


Hope you girls like it as much as I do.
Nos vemos and thank you for stopping by!
