French manicure with flowers

Hey!

Just posting some photos of my curent mani. I finally had some time to do french mani. I was using Konad IP m19 and make my smile line with Fing'rs white polish. Then I added 4 layers of Seche Chic witch is nude pale pink with tinny shimmer. I also added some stickers on my ring finger and some tinny flowers on my tumb.

This is the final effect:

(with flesh)

I like how it turned out. I love the Konad plate for making french design because it saves you time and the end result is great. There's no mess and everything looks perfect.

The only problem I had is Seche nail polish. It's always a bit streaky nomather how I apply it.

What do you think? Do you like it?

Nfu.Oh #60 over black

Hey guys!

Today I have one very special mani for you. The photos are presenting one of my favorites polishes ever- Nfu.Oh #60. It's so gorgeous that I can't find the words to decribe it LOL Really something you should have if you are obsessed with nail polish.

Because of the non-opaqueness (is this a word?) of the Nfu.Oh I used black base color- Manhattan 1010N which is totally opaque in one coat and it dries very quickly. This is definitely my favorite black creme.

Here it is:

Manhattan 1010N

And with added Nfu.Oh #60:

Nfu.Oh #60 over black (Manhattan 1010N)

This polish really has many faces. It can be dark with dark red flekcs in it, or it can be very colorful and chameleonlike with yellow, orange and green flecks reflecting in the sun.

This polish also dries quickly and you will only need one coat to get this effect over black.

What do you think? Like it?

Frankenstein: Moody mauve

Hey!

I have another franken for you. I'm in franken-making mood lately and since I didn't buy any polishes for some time now I decided to mix them up and make something new. Moody mauve is a franken made out of franken because I didn't like the first version. For my first version I used S-he 306(white) and S-he 384 (dark purple with dark blue shimmer). For my second and final version of this Franken I added some Manhattan 45Q (bright red) and Essence Live forever (silver flecks).

Check out my first version:

Franken failure

And my second and final version:

Moody mauve Franken

What do you think? Like it? Which is your favorite?

Frankenstein: Foggy timebomb

Hey guys!

I have very weather apropriate franken for you. It's called Foggy timebomb- It looks almost like our weather here in Slovenia.

Well, I like the polish dearly because it's a bit unusual shade to wear. It has tinny shimmer in blue and green and it's made out of S-he 306 (white), Essence Dive deeper which is petroleum blue with micro shimmer and some tinny glitter and Essence All access which is dark green with tinny green shimmer. So the actual shade is something between grey and green with lots of shimmer.

Here it is:

Franken Foggy timebomb

I know, the pictures are crap. I just can't take better ones. The weather makes horrible light to take photos in. Better luck next time:)

In real life this color is much more darker and more beautiful than in the pics. Also the shimmer is quite noticable.

Essence: Iced chai latte + bonus photo

Helo guys!

Today I decided to do a Konad manicure with Essence Iced chail latte and Essence All access. I painted my nails with base color (Iced chai latte) and then waited for few minutes and added some Konad. Well, that didn't turn out great. It smudged my base color so I needed to reapply it. And as I didn't have enought time I just left it there- just base color.

This beautiful nude color is apropriate for anything because it's so delicate and simple but jet beautiful. It has tinny shimmer which adds something more to this polish. And the fact that it is completely opaque in one coat (I applied two like always) means that is not streaky at all. Love this color:D

Here it is:

Essence Iced chai latte

(with flesh)

I hope I'll have enought time tomorow to add a little bit of Konad to this.

Do you like this? Is it "special" enought that you would wear it?

***In my bonus photo you can see my cat Čopi who looks like he is a boss. :D Well he is. He thinks that he's the best thing ever. He's so proud of his looks that he wants to show it off everytime I pick up my camera LOL

But he can be a softie too. He comes to snuggle with me every morning at 5am and welcomes me every time I come home from school. Love him dearly:*

Starstrucked manicure

Hey!

I finally managed to take some time and post some pics of my mani. I just made it and it looks a bit too Halloween-ish. It does look good but it's a way too much for me to handle LOL.

To make this I used Essence Fatal (black creme) and added some stars which I cut out off my napkin. And then just added two coats of SV top coat to make napking as glossy as possible. And that is it:D

Here it is:

Do you like it? Would you wear it at all??

Red & gold napkin manicure

Hey guys!

Today I have a special manicure for you. It's made from napkins and looks quite good. I like it:) The only problem I have with it, is that my nails look thick because of all of the topcoat layers (3 layers and would need one more to be perfectly glossy). I do like the design and also the color combination which is very popular in polish society.

Here it is:
