Fancy Friday: Lead Light

Hello ladies!

Today I have some Fancy Friday nail art to share with you guys.
Today the challenge is lead light, which is a technique by Messy Mansion, where you add color to your stamping design with sheer nail polishes.

For the manicure I started off with a white base of Essie Blanc on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the floral design on my middle and ring finger with MoYou London Pro plate collection 07 and Mundo de Uñas black stamping polish. Then I colored in the stamping design with the sheer nail polishes OPI Sheer Tints: I'm Never Ambarassed (yellow), Be Magentale With Me (pink), Don't Violet Me Down (purple) and I Can Teal You Like Me (blue). To finish off the skittlette manicure I added the silver glitter China Glaze Fairy Dust to my little finger.

I like the sketchy style of this nail art.

Candy Canes

Hi girls!

Today I have some christmas nail art to show you guys for the first time this year - candy canes!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of Essie Blanc. Afterwards I used the red nail polish Essie Lollipop and Stripe Nail Vinyls from Glam My Mani to make diagonal stripes to make it resemble candy canes.

I like how simple and cute these are!

Essie Summit of Style

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of one of the new Essie Luxeffects for 2014 - Summit of Style.
Summit of Style is a bronze glitter in a clear base.

The formula and glitter pay-off was so good and easy to work with!
Down below I applied one coat of Summit of Style over Essie Licorice.

I own 7 (out of 10) Essie Luxeffects and I am loving them all!

Fancy Friday: Watercolor

Hello ladies!

Time for some more Fancy Friday nail art!
Today the challenge is watercolor and I made a very simple skittlette manicure with a watercolor base.

For the manicure I started off with a white base of Essie Blanc. Afterwards I used the OPI Sheer Tints: I'm Never Amberassed (yellow), Be Magentale With Me (pink), Don't Violet Me Down (purple) and I Can Teal You Like Me (blue) to make the watercolor background of the manicure. On my ring and middle finger I applied a small, square stud from Born Pretty Store (#5003) and on my pinky I applied the silver glitter China Glaze Fairy Dust.

I made a watercolor manicure once before and I love it just as much this time!

Stamping

Hello ladies!

Today I made some nail art that I would like to share with you guys - a floral skittlette manicure!

For the manicure I started off with a red base of Essie Lollipop on all my nails. Afterwards I made the floral nail art on my middle and ring finger by making stamping decals following this tutorial by Lucy at Lucy's Stash (using MoYou London Pro Plate Collection 07, Mundo de Uñas Black stamping polish and the white nail polish Essie Blanc). To finish off the skittlette I applied China Glaze Fairy Dust on my pinky.

I really like how this skittlette turned out!

Picture Polish Forget Me Not

Hi girls!

Today I have a swatch and review of my very first (and definitely not last) piCture pOlish shade - Forget Me Not!
Forget Me Not is a dusty blue with a scattered holographic finish, which is a collaboration polish with Kate at Lacquertude (read about her inspiration here).

The formula was amazing - it is was creamy and so easy to apply. The opacity was great as well - two thin coats and you are good to go!

I love this shade of blue - just perfect!

Stay polished.
