NEON GEOMETRIC

Hola chicas!

Last night was playing with another of my new plates, First I was only using the geometric patterns on it, but as I looked closer I kept finding hidden animals and bugs. I absolutely love this plate!

Started off with the white base and then used the reverse or advanced stamping technique to fill in the colors on the image with a bunch of kleancolor neons.

What I used:

• White polish; base 1 coat.
• Kleancolor " Neon Orange"; reverse stamping.
• Kleancolor " Neon Green"; reverse stamping.
• Kleancolor " Neon Yellow"; reverse stamping.
• Kleancolor " Neon Aqua"; reverse stamping.
• Mabelle "Black"; stamping.
• Plate Flowers 13 from aliexpress.
• Seche Vite top coat.

I have included shots of both hands as they're a bit different because I wanted to show off the little animals I found and different parts of the patterns.

Look at that cute snail!

And this colorful bird

BLACK LACE

Hola Chicas!

This mani was more to swatch my new plates I got from Aliexpress than a planned one, and I was looking forward to have a play with the one with the lacey patterns.

What I used:

• Kleancolor " Story of my heart"; base 2 coats.
• Aliexpress plate Flowers 09
• Marbell " Black"; for stamping.
• Seche Vite topcoat.

Story of my heart is a nude with iridescent holo particles, it is really pretty in person and perfect if you want to wear something subtle but not boring. The black polish was one of those finds, it cost me less than a dollar (about £.50 p) and I got it mainly as a black creme base but when tested for stamping it was superb, it dries a bit quick but if you are used to work with non stamping polishes it shouldn't be a problem.

SUMMER GARDEN

Hola Chicas!

Trying to squeeze the last couple of summer manis before we roll into fall.

What I used:

• Pure Ice "Bikini"; base, 2 coats.
• MDU stamping polishes; pastel pink, pastel orange, green and black.
• Pure Ice "Deja Vu"; reverse stamping in butterfly.
• Color Club " Over the Moon"; butterfly.
• Color Club "Eternal Beauty"; butterfly.
• Plate Moyou London Mother Nature 14
• Plate KM01 (dupe of the DRK designer series)
• Seche Vite; top coat.

After letting the base dry, I stamped the grass, flowers and dandelions and used the reverse stamping technique for the butterflies.

See you soon!

BLUE MAJOLICA - INSPIRED BY D&G SUMMER 2015

Hola chicas!

Today's mani is fashion inspired by one of my all time favs D&G and their Summer 2015 Collection "Blue Majolica".

What I used:

• IM nails in White; base, 2 coats.
• Kleancolor "Slumber Party" (matte); for stamping.
• Bissu "Oro Liquido"; stamping accent nail.
• Plate MoYou London Fairytail collection 02; accent nail.
• MoYou London Greek Mythology 08.
• Color Club Matte top coat.

Had to use the decal technique because as I stamped with a matte nail polish it dried very quickly.

Nos vemos! 

See you soon!

RAINBOW GARDEN

Hola chicas!

Hope you all having a fantastic week. Today's mani is tackling one more unused plate.

What I used:

• Moldel's Own "Snow White"; base 2 coats.
• MDU neon polishes; stamping polishes.
• BP Store plates QA83 & QA61
• Kleancolor "Mr. Righ"; holo top coat.
• Seche Vite; top coat.

Started off with 2 coats of Snow White and then applied MDU polishes in diagonal over the plate to create a rainbow, scraped to blend the colors and then stamped on the nail. As I wasn't very happy with how it came out I tried to fix it with a coat of Mr. Right and it worked!

Have to say wasn't all that happy at first but I couldn't stop staring at my nails when I was in the sunlight yesterday, Mr. Right was a game changer, is just that I can manage to take a good pic to make it justice.

Nos vemos! Hasta luego!
