Vintage Roses Nails

It's Nail Art Sunday today and time for a stampicure! :)

The base is Picture Polish Chillax - so gorgeous I want to cry! ;) Then I've stamped on two different patterns from MoYou London plate Pro Collection-07. Yes, TWO patterns :) Please note that the ring finger is inverted ;) As stamping polish I've used By K Choco Mousse.

I call this manicure for vintage because I think the brown and the bright minty turquoise create a vintage feeling. I was very happy with this manicure! :D I think I like the inverted pattern best actually. What do you think?

Picture Polish Imperial - swatches and review

Purple isn't really my cup of tea, but when this beauty was released I just had to get it! My skin tone doesn't pull off purple at all but Imperial is actually fairly ok. Perhaps it's due to the copper glitter and the neon brightness. A match made in heaven!

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Glitter neon.

Number of coats: Three.

Formula: Great formula! Full control!

Brush: Quite wide straight cut brush.

Top Coat: Yes. Dries matte otherwise.

Color accuracy in pictures: Accurate. 

Grade: 5/5

This polish is amazing and unique in my collection! Great formula too!

Picture Polish Chillax - swatches and review

Of course I had to try Chillax almost immediately when I got it ;) It's such a super bright minty turquoise! Perfect for summer and perfect for Green Wednesday!

This is also my post number 700!!! Jippieeee!! :D

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Cream.

Number of coats: Two.

Formula: A nice formula, not thin nor thick. Not as self leveling as Swagger though.

Brush: Medium straight cut brush. I love the rubbery cork too! So easy to grip!

Top Coat: Yes. 

Color accuracy in pictures: Accurate. 

Grade: 5+/5

I love these bright minty shades! I'll definitely wear this again! My only concern is that it could have been more self leveling. I'm thinking this shade with Swagger's dream formula ;)

Picture Polish Swagger - swatches and review

When Picture Polish released their Urban Collection I wanted all of them! But in the end I ended up getting Swagger and Chillax (to start with ;)). These two seem to be the ones always out of stock, whilst both Totes and Bonkers are available. So when Llarowe had a release I was like a hawk snatching them! ;)

First to be tried was Swagger. A stunning periwinkle with amazing qualities! I was floored on how easy it was to apply!

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Cream.

Number of coats: Two. One coat is probably ok for shorter nails.

Formula: Perfect formula! Like applying melted chocolate :) Very self leveling!

Brush: Medium straight cut brush.

Top Coat: Yes. 

Color accuracy in pictures: Accurate. 

Grade: 5++/5

This is the perfect periwinkle cream polish! It has a glow that not my other periwinkle creams have and the formula is out of this world! If I could keep only one periwinkle cream in my collection, this would be the one because this is so much more than your ordinary periwinkle!

Did you get anything from this collection? 

Moroccan Tiles Nails

I was really pleased with this manicure! No, more than pleased ;) Super excited more like! I never dreamt these would turn out so well! I was in a hurry and it was late and I just wanted to spice up my blue cream with something.

The base is the super pretty and fairly new Swagger from Picture Polish. Since I'm totally hooked on stamping I reached for MoYou plate Pro Collection-07 and a white stamping polish from Depend (#6700). After stamping I still felt it was missing something so I dug out my dotting tool and Orly Luxe. It turned out to be a good choice! ;) The result can be seen below. Hope you like it as much as I did!

I made them for today's Nail Art Sunday and they remind me of Maroccan tiles - hence the name of this manicure ;)
