Christmas Sweater Nail Art

Does anyone actually think ugly christmas sweaters are ugly? Because I certainly don't think they are. Most of them are cute and fun.

I did a Christmas Sweater Nail Art. I used Moyou London Festive Plate 04, a plate with different Christmas sweater patterns.
The polishes I've used are OPI Coca Cola Red and OPI Alpine Snow. I know, the pattern went on a little wonky but this was the first time in months that I stamped my nails. I need to do some more stamping to get back some of my stamping skills. I turned out alright though, and I realy like result. It's perfect for Christmas.

Winter Nail Art Challenge: Snow, All Kinds of Snow!

Hello darlings! 

I'm so frustrated with myself. Last week I thought I scheduled one post a day for the whole week, apparently I didn't schedule them I just saved them. I'll probably post two posts a day instead this week.

Anyway Helena at Lacky Corner has a lovely nail art challenge going on for the whole of December. Todays theme is Snow, All Kinds of Snow. 

I've wanted to this mani for a long time. I used Glam Polish Anuenue as my base and OPI Alpine Snow as my stamping polish.

It looked a lot better in real life than in my pictures. My camera wouldn't really capture the sparkle of Anuenue. It really did sparkle as much as snow does in the sun light. It was so delicate and pretty. I loved wearing this. 

The snow flakes come from Moyou London Festive Stamping Plate 02. It's a plate filled with different snow flakes. It's one of my favourites from Moyou London.

Saran Wrap Nails

I did some nail art today and I'm super happy with the result! I did saran wrap nails since I wanted to do something easy but still exsiting. I've completely forgotten about how incredibly beautiful saran wrap nails can be!

The polishes I've used are China Glaze Highlight of My Summer, China Glaze Boho Blues, Glam Polish Anuenue and Mentality Black Opaque. I used Highlight of My Summer as the base and then used Boho Blues and the saran wrap technique to do the pattern. I finished the mani off with Glam Polish Anuenue, because Anuenue makes every mani better!
I couldn't let the mani be and had to stamp it. I used a pattern from MoYou London Sailor Collection Plate 05. The end result with the stamping is a little mermaid-esque and I love it!

The pictures are taken in indirect sunlight. The picture of the stamped mani is taken in direct sunlight. Blogger is making my pictures blurry when I upload them. It's getting really frustrating. I'm thinking about changing to another blog platform but I haven't decided yet.

Stamped Gradient

Hi guys!
The other day I did a gradient and then I, of coure, had to stamp it.
For this mani I used Barry M Grapefruit, Barry M Papaya and OPI Where Did Suzi's Man-go? Those three colours go so well together.

I used Mentality Black Opaque and the Creative Shop stamper to stamp the pattern. The pattern I've used is from the  Sailor Collection Plate 06 from MoYou London. 


This gradient isn't perfect but I'm happy wth the result. The colours are so pretty and perfect for summer. I really wih my pictures could make this mani justice.

Glam Polish Anuenue With Stamping

Hi!
Yesterday I showed you Glam Polish Anuenue. I just couldn't leave it alone and had to stamp it. I was inspired by the amazing Bettina Nails who stamped Anuenue a while ago. I think her version was matte though. I used top coat to get a shiny look.

I did two coats of Glam Polish Anuenue and then stamped it with Mentality White Opaque usig the Creative Shop Stamper. The pattern is from Moyou London Sailor Collection Plate 06. As usual I used Pretty Serious Crystal Coat to finish the mani.

Red & White

 Hi guys!
This is what my nails look like right now. I got home early today to write on a report and when I had to take a break I decided to practise my stamping skills.

For this mani I used OPI Coca Cola Red and Mentality White Opaque. 
I used two coats of OPI Coca Cola Red. I then stamped it with Mentality White Opaque using the Creative Shop Stamper. The pattern I've used is from the  Sailor Collection Plate 06 from MoYou London.
 
Coca Cola Red is the perfect pinup red. It's classy and sexy and gorgeous.You'll get a separate review of it soon. White Opaque is my favourite white stamping polish. It's amazing! If you haven't tred it you really should. 

I still need to practise my stamping. This came out a little bit wonky, but I'm very pleased. I'm getting better and better.

 

Purple Gradient with Stamping

Hello sweeties!

Today I'll show you a gradient with stamping I did last week. It's similar to this nail art I did, except that tis one is purple.  The polishes I've used are Colors by Larowe My Private Paradise and Feelings, Whoa Whoa Whoa for the gradient. I used the dry brush technique to do it. The gradient isn't super visible in the picture, my camera couldn't really capture te different shades of purple. For the stamping I used Mentality Black Opaque. I used the Creative Shop Stamper and a stamping plate from Bundle Monster.

I love the result. I still have to work on my stamping skills, but I'm becoming better and better.

Stamping and Half Moons

Hi guys! I hope you all are haveing a lovely weekend. I've been home relaxing all day. I also did some nail art today that I'd like to show you. 

For this mani I used OPI Lady in Black, Smitten Polish Seahorse Rodeo and Picture Polish Chillax. I used nail vinyls to create the half moon on my index and pinky. I used Mentality Black Opaque for stamping the pattern. The pattern is from MoYou London Sailor Collection Plate 05. I as usually used the Creative Shop Stamper to stamp with. I bought mine from Rainbow Connection, but you can buy it from other places as well.

About Mentality Black Opaque, it's the best black stamping polish I've used. It's super pigmented and dries quickly but not so fast that you have to stress when using it for stamping. I don't think I'm going to use another black for stamping ever again. 

I really love how this turned out. I love the pattern, though it looks a little wonky since I haven't completely mastered the art of stamping yet. Well, practise makes perfect and I'm pleased for now. Chillax is a gorgeous, almost neon, teal. It's one of my favourites from Picture Polish. The pictures aren't completely colour accurate though. My camera doesn't like teal and likes to make them look more blue than green. Chillax is a green leaning teal and not a blue leaning one. I'll post a review of Chillax soon and I'll try to make the pictures more colour accurate. 

White on White

Hi sweeties!

I'm completely in love with more subtle nail art at moment. It's pretty and classy but has a little something extra. Yesterday I decided to tamp with a white stamping polish on a white jelly. It turned out super pretty. I love the result. I definitely have to do it again.

The polishes I've used are Colors by Llarowe Coconut and Mentality White Opaque. 
Coconut is a gorgeous white jelly. It's brightens your nails and is so squishy. A perfect white jelly. It required three thin coats to give enough coverage. It was a bit streaky at two coats but the thrid coat did the trick. I then stamped the base with Mentality White Opaque using the Creative Shop Stamper. The pattern I've used is from the  Sailor Collection Plate 06 from MoYou London.

Skittlette

Hi guys!

I'll start my new internship tomorrow, so for obvious reasons I have to have amazing nails tomorrow. I love how this skittlette turned out. I've worn a lot of colour on my nails the past few weeks so I wanted something a little more neutral but still fun.

The polishes I've used for this manicure are OPI Lady in Black, OPI You're So Vain-illa, Cirque Sample and Mentality Black Opaque.
I painted my thumb, middle and ring finger with OPI You're So Vain-illa. I then stamped my thumb and ring finger nails with Mentality Black Opaque using the Creative Shop Stamper and a stamping plate from Konad. I added two coats of Cirque Sample, a gorgeous pae gold glitter from one of International Playground's Cirque sample sales, on my middle finger nail. I painted two coats of OPI Lady in Black on my index and pinky.
