Henna Tattoo Inspired Nail Art

Hello dear readers!

Today I have a nail art inspired on henna tattoo designs.

I've seen many pictures on henna designs done on Indian women for weddings. I think it is such beautiful and intricate work which is done by hand...I am left in awe every time I see those works of art.

Here's my stamping inspired on those designs...

I started by applying a nude tone nail polish by The Face Shop.

Then, I stamped designs from my BuNa B plate.

I used Sally Hansen Insta-dri - Cinna-Snap as the stamping polish.

I think I should have used a color that was more brown, but anyway...

What do you think of this nail art?

Bird Stamping + Cult Nails - Baker

Hello dear readers!

I am trying to post more often to motivate myself use more of my polishes and nail art, if possible.

This time I'm going to show you some bird stamping... this is a pattern that I like a lot because it looks like woodblock print. I've seen it on my customers' manicures, but this is the first time I get to try it on my nails.

(Pictures can be enlarged)

 

I started by applying 2 coats of Cult Nails - Baker as the base for this nail art

 

For an extra touch to the background of my stamping, I added a layer of gold flake topcoat.

Sorry for such a bad angle picture, but here you can see the stamping in more detail.

I used BuNa A plate and used Nabi in black to stamp the design.

I hope you like this manicure... on my next post, I will be trying water decal nail art ;)

ILNP Cutie Pop and BuNa B Floral

Hello dear readers!

Here's my manicure featuring shorter nails after a long, long time...

(All pictures can be enlarged)

 For this nail art I used ILNP in Cutie Pop which is a bubblegum pink with a holo finish

Using Nabi in black as my stamping polish, I stamped a floral design from BuNa B plate.

Extra pic...

This manicure was very simple because I just wanted to give an extra touch to an already cute color by ILNP.

Nail Art/Swatches Compilation

Hello dear readers!

It's good to be back to blogging once again.
This time, instead of posting long overdue swatches and nail art one after another, I decided to post all here.

Scroll down to see more pictures and a brief description of each.

First, I start with swatches of Lacquer Lust - Amor which is a thermal with that turns pastel pink when cold and white when warm. It also has a mix of iridescent hexagonal glitter and metallic pink glitter. Very opaque and easy to apply.

 

Here you can see the thermal effect at its best.

Next is OPI - Love angel music baby from the Gwen Stefani collection. It is a gold that dries to a satin finish, but in this case, I added topcoat for shine.

I used this nail color as the base for water marbling. You can see a short video on my Instagram, here.

Here, I did some lace design stamping. I used OPI - French quarter for your thoughts as the base and stamped with Khroma Beauty - Dahlia. For the accent nail, I stamped with the OPI color over the Dahlia base. I used a lace design from my BuNa A plate.

Here, I'm wearing OPI - Magazine cover mouse, a red textured nail polish with gold and pink shimmer.

 

This is a swatch of Nailnation 3000 - Cashmere topped with 24k gold flake topcoat The Midas Touch by Ninja Polish. I think it was a very nice combination.

This is it! I hope you liked this post.

Challenge: My Favorite Flower

Hello dear readers!

Here is my 1st manicure of 2014. I did it for Adventures in Stamping's Sunday challenge which is a nice way to come up with inspiration... it's also such a treat to take a look at what the other ladies do with their manicures. (Here some of the ladies post stamping in instagram #aistamping)

This is what I came up with for this challenge...

(more details and pics below)

Well, my favorite flowers are roses. Even if it sounds cliché, I really like them, here's some proof...

For this manicure, I started by painting 2 coats of Orly - Cotton Candy. Then, I stamped a grunge pattern from stamping plate HD-C using Orly - Prelude to a Kiss.

I stamped an inverted stamping pattern from my new BuNa-A plate on my thumb, index, middle and pinky. For my ring finger, I stamped a lace design and roses from the same plate. I used Kleancolor black for stamping.

This looks very Valentine's day appropriate, right? Maybe a bit early for that...

♥♥Thank you so much for reading in 2014♥♥
