Monochrome Matte


Fancied doing a black and white mani.



First after applying my base coat I painted 2 coats of China Glaze White on White on my thumb and ring finger. On my index and little finger I painted 2 coats of Essie Mademoiselle, and on my middle finger 2 coats of China Glaze Liquid Leather.



On my thumb and ring finger painted white I stamped using Konad Black this triangle pattern from Pueen plate Pueen20.



On my thumb, index and little finger I used half of a paper reinforcement ring to create a half moon. I then painted my nail above this using China Glaze Liquid Leather and removed the sticker.



To complete the mani I painted the matte top coat from Barry M on all nails.

Paisley Princess


Love this mani!



I first painted my base coat. Then on my thumb, middle and ring finger I applied 2 coats of China Glaze Urban-Night. On my index and little finger I applied 2 coats of A England Princess Tears (recently bought this along with a couple other A England polishes and I will definitely be adding more to my collection, they are beautiful!).



Oh and yes Princess Tears stamps :P I stamped part of the paisley pattern from MoYou Fashionista plate 11. Love this plate so much! Paisley looks amazing in a mani :)



To finish I applied a top coat of Seche Vite and then added a clear diamanté stud to each of the stamped nails on the same part of the pattern. And that is the mani finished :)

"Let it go, let it goooo" ♫


Fancied doing some Frozen nails :)



I applied my base coat. Then on my thumb, index and little finger I applied 3 coats of Barry M Lady. On my middle and ring finger I firstly applied 2 coats of China Glaze Shower Together, then I applied 1 coat of Sally Hansen Tulle Kit.



On my middle and ring finger I stamped these snowflakes from Bundle Monster plate BM-323 using Konad White.



I then applied Seche Vite to just my middle and ring finger (as Lady is a texture polish) and I also added some small clear colour diamantés to the centre of some of the snowflakes.

Pretty In Pink


Wanted to do something more simple today :)



I applied my base coat firstly. Then on my thumb, middle and ring finger I applied 3 coats of Barry M Rose Hip. On my index finger I applied 2 coats of China Glaze White on White. On my ring finger I applied 3 coats of Essie Hors D'Ouvres.



On my index finger painted in white I stamped this chevron pattern from MoYou Fashionista Collection plate 05 using Konad Black.



I then applied a top coat of Seche Vite apart from on my ring finger.

Life is Rosy


Got some new MoYou plates and there were some roses on one of them so I decided to do roses :)



I began by applying my base coat. Then on my thumb, middle and ring finger I painted 1 coat of China Glaze White on White. On my index and ring finger I applied 2 coats of Barry M Majesty.



I did a gradient on my last mani and thought I would look for something that would make the clean up easier. I found something called Liquid Palisade which is made specifically for making nail art clean up easier, however it was very expensive. So instead I bought this product called Masquepen which is a masking liquid with a fine nib for application. I applied a thin layer and waited for it to dry...



When it was dry it went clear. I then did a gradient with 3 China Glaze polishes, Dress Me Up, Life is Rosy and Purr-fect Plum. Once I had applied the gradient I used some tweezers to remove the masking liquid. It pulled off fairly easily and left no nail polish on my skin! Still had to do a little clean up nearer the nail, but I think I will get better at applying it closer to the nail.



For the stamping I used MoYou Mother Nature Collection plate 11 and stamped some roses in different places on each nail.



I then painted a coat of Seche Vite on my thumb, middle and ring finger and as I did so I pressed a gold coloured diamanté in the middle of each rose.
And that is the mani finished :)
