Shell Fish Nails

A bit later than usual today but better late than never ;) I was worried I wouldn't be able to join at all because of lack of time. I'm starting to teach a new florist class on Wednesday on top of my ordinary work as a florist so busy, busy, busy now and until Christmas...

We've got wonderful weather today, it almost feels like summer, so I thought a very summery nail art would be appropriate.

The base is the magic Glitter Gal Blue and then I've stamped on a shell fish pattern from MoYou London plate Sailor Collection-07 with By K Jet Stream. So it's a mix from Australia, England and Denmark today ;)

I was very pleased with this manicure! It looks like the shell fish is swimming around in blue tropical water glittering in the sun. It makes me wish for more holiday :)

Swiss Bank in London Nails

This post and manicure is dedicated to my dear Swiss friends Christine from Polished Marvels and Natalia from Polished Polyglot. Why? They are Swiss and this manicure is inspired by the spectacular Swiss Bank building in London. It looks like checkered lipstick if you haven't seen it ;)

I hope you like my Swiss tribute ladies! ;)

The base is IsaDora Pool Crush and then I've stamped on a pattern from MoYou London Tourist Collection-05, which of course is the London plate :) Polished used is Essie Blue Rhapsody.

Lacquistry Amazeballz - swatches and review

Today I want to show you a real wow-polish!! It was a gift from my great friend Goldie who snatched a couple of bottles of it the minute there was a release at Lacquistry! Well done and many many thanks darling! <3

Amazeballz is not really a pure glitter polish, nor a pure foil. It's also not really a pure gold color, nor a pure silver. To describe this polish I've had to invent new words. Amazeballz is a gliver goil polish! ;) Lol!

It's totally amazing and so unique! I've got nothing like it in my stash! I've never got so many positive comments from customers and strangers ever!

This is two easy coats and the removal was easier than with regular glitters (because it's a goil of course ;). I had no peel off base but a regular base coat.


GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Goil (fusion of glitter and foil ;)).

Number of coats: Two.

Formula: Very good! So easy to apply!

Brush: Medium straight cut.

Top Coat: Yes. 

Grade: 5+++++++++++/5

A real show stopper! Get it if you find it! You won't regret it!

Tea Cups Nails

Another green nail art for Green Wednesday :)

The base is By K Glacier, a wonderful minty green. Then I've stamped on a pattern from MoYou London Tourist Collection-05 using Essie Good As Gold.

If you look closely you can see that the patter consists of tea cups and tea pots but at a distance it actually looks as a type of croc pattern :D And gold and mint sure is a match made in heaven! <3

Art Deco Holo Nails

The base for this manicure is the magic Spacecraft from Dance Legend. Then I've stamped on a pattern from MoYou London Pro Collection-06. The stamping polish is Essie No Place Like Chrome.

I'm pretty satisfied with the result. I like that the nails are only partially covered by the pattern so that the lovely holo shines trough :)
