Criss cross with Bundle monster #208

I started wth white plain base color from Essence Trend edition 50's GIRLS RELOADED called AHOY!. It's a cream white polish, really opaque (I applied two coats).
Then I used special polish in red for stamping. I placed it over Budle monster no.208- criss cross design. But because my nails are too long for all over design, I left my tips blank. 
 Then I used scotch tape tehnique and I applied p2 CINNAMON ROSE over my tips to create french tips manicure. I finished it with Seche Vite fast dryig topcoat and VOILA, we're done!

Bundle monster #204 Flowery design

Today I have this manicure for you. The no.204 bundle monster plate was up next and I went for this all over nail design- kinda flowery design...
 As my base color I used China glaze FOR AUDREY, we all know, and I didn't wear this one for a while now...
 I also used scotch taped tehnique, because the design is too small to cover the whole nail, so I placed scotch tape diagonaly cross my nails and stamped third of my nail surface.

To complete the look I applied thin stripe blue glitter polish, just to make crisp transaction between two different patterns. Do you like it? I do :-)

Striped design feat. Essence TRYIN' TO BE COOL&COOL AND THE GANG

 Today I have a funky striped manicure for your feat. two new polishes from Essence. First is this gorgeous bright blue with a hint of green polish called TRYIN' TO BE COOL. Both of those two are from multi dimension XXXL shine line.
 This one has a cream finish, it's super easy to apply, fast drying... Well both are. And the second one is this indigo blue one COOL AND THE GANG.
 Well, but first I went over TRYIN' TO BE COOL with only flakies polish I have GLISTEN UP (we already all know, right :-) ? ) which is extra hard to capture flakes on the pictures. But anyways...

 Than I used scotch taped tehnique and applied COOL AND THE GANG, used scotch one more time and applied BLACK OUT from BLACK&WHITE collection, also from ESSENCE. 
 Cool looking right???

Essence LE BLOSSOMS ETC. - A hint of mint and KONAD

 Yey, another awsome spring color from Essence and this one is from their latest limited edition BLOSSOMS ETC- A hint of mint. I wonder if this one is similar to Essie Mint candy apple. Would anyone do a comparison for me :-) ?
 Well, this one is very light mint green color with hints of light green shine in it. I tried to capture it on my nails, but it's only visible in the bottle. Well, it's qiute opaque, I applied only one coat. It has a cream finish and I loooove it :-)
 But because it was just to plane for me, I decided to do some konad over it. I chosed KONAD image plate m65 and I used ZOYA- ENVY for the design. But because my nails are too long for all over design, I went with scotch taped french tips, also with the same ZOYA.
 And this is the final look. You like it? I DO!!! :-)

Purplish manicure

 I reshaped my nails today. And I thought, why not do some funky manicure today. So, I started with ORLY PURPLE VELVET- 2 coats. I love this polish. It has a matt finish and this really nice shade of purple. Not bright purple, just the way I like it :-)




 Than I scotch taped little less than half of nail surface and on the rest of the nails I applied one thick coat of PURE ICE  CHEATIN. I like this glitter polish very much. It's clear polish with purple, pink and blue glitters.
 Than I again scotch taped my nails, this time little more than half, so I left untapped only my tips. And than I applied on layer of ESSENCE BLACK OUT (from BLACK&WHITE limited edition).

I didn't went over with Seche Vite, because I like how purple is matt, than glitters are shiny and the black has soft touch finish, that is not matt, not glossy, but somewhere in between. So I have three different textures and it' sooo funky looking. What do you think?

Konad plad design


 Today I have funky french style manicure for you! Yesterday I wanted to do some "out there" manicure and this is what I came up with. First I applied two coats of Essence MOST WANTED (I have post about it, browse!) and one coat of Seche vite after that.
 Than I went trough my collection of image plates and I realized that I have never tried plad design before, so I used it for this one. It's image plate m60 with different kinds of all over designs. I used simple black special polish for stamping. And because my nails are tiny bit too long for all over design, I twisted it up a bit and I used....
Cloe's nails tehnique and used  a bit of scotch tape. I placed it on whole nail surface and left my tips out. And for the tips I used China glaze LIQUID LEATHER and did french tips. And this is the final resoult. I just finished it with one coat of Sevche vite and VIOLA!

My first scotch tape manicure feat. China glaze Party Hearty

 With this manicure I'm trying out new way of manicures- scotch taped one. I got inspired by fellow blogger- Chloe, who does amazing manicures! Well, I decided to try this tehniqoue and I'm very satisfied with it. This is very easy way to acchieve perfect straight lines on your nails...
 My first try is diagonal line with China glaze Party Hearty glitters. As you see on the pic it is clear polish with silver and green rounded glitters and some red hexagon glitters. Very appropriate for Christmas times, but I used it anyway :-) I't new polish in my collection, lol!
I like it a lot and I can't wait to try some french tips... I just have to wait that my nails grow little longer...
