March's Nails Challenge- Pastel

Hello! 

Today is Saturday again ...so we have another manicure for the monthly challenge : PASTEL . 

I really liked the idea...until I had to choose the nail polishes for this and I realized I don't have a lot of pastel shades, and, since I don't have that many I decided to combine them all in one manicure. 

Here it is : 




I have to admit that doing this manicure took some time but I am really happy with the end result - what's better than a colourful mani ? 
Even if I wanted to make this manicure with only one brand of nail polish I couldn't have done it. I think this is the first time ever when I use so many colours and also brands in one manicure. 



My inspiration was this colourful cake. Let's see what inspired the other talented ladies :

    Why not...glitter?

    Hello lovelies !


    Hope you are having a good week start - I had a busy day but I really had to show you something <3 nbsp="" p="">
    Recently I bought some nail polish from a blog sale ...and along side others ...I got a beautiful blue glitter from Orly, called ANGEL EYES. (after I saw how it looked on the nails I understood why they named it that way)

    I am not that much into regular glitter...but this one had something special.

    Hope you like it , because I fell in love with it :D

    2 coats of Orly Angel eyes  - over this gorgeous blue from Golden Rose. 
     2 coats were enough for a perfect coverage and perfect shimmer.

    The drying time is normal- not fast nor slow either.

    I've had the nail polish on for 3 days now and it still looks perfect- no top coat added (the shimmer in the pics is all the polish, no top coat) and also, I've had a full dish washing and household work 3 days. So this manicure wasn't 'protected'.
    I have to say I am pretty pleased with the way this is looking after 3 days - no chipping either! (yay)

    March's Nails Challenge- Vintage

    Buna dimi fete dragi !

    Postarea de astazi ii este dedicata unei fete foarte dragi mie Andrea!

    In acelasi timp, vreau sa imi cer scuze fata de ea, pentru ca am facut aceasta postare atat de tarziu.

    Acum...mult timp (cam jumatate de an) am primit de la ea un cadou foarte frumos pentru care nu am apucat sa ii multumesc cum se cuvine.

    Din aceasta cauza, manichiura pe care am facut-o pentru aceasta tema este realizata (aproape) in totalitate cu ojele primite de la Andrea.

    Si nu doar atat . Stiu cat de mult ii place sa se inspire din rochii/fuste/tinute in general, atunci cand realizeaza unele modele...asa ca m-am hotarat ca inspiratia mea sa fie tot o fusta.

    Sper din suflet sa iti placa ,si, iti multumesc din suflet inca o data pentru cadou - stiu ca e cam tarziu dar sper sa ma intelegi.

    ps : doar pentru ca nu am facut pana acum o postare in special dedicata ei, asta nu inseamna ca nu am folosit ojele de la ea. :P

    In ceea ce priveste tema...VINTAGE, am ales o simpla fusta care mie imi striga vintage si am incercat sa o "mut" pe unghii,

     Nici nu imi vine sa va spun cat m-am chinuit cu aceasta manichiura. Initial am vrut sa folosesc striping tape ...dar am renuntat si le-am facut cu pensula.
    Am zis ca nu se mai termina.
    Eu consider ca a meritat efortul. Voi ce parere aveti?

    Coloured stamping !

    Coloured stamping.


    Well...for today ...I will show you my first attempt at multiple colours stamping. (I honestly don't know if there's a name  for this technique)

    I've seen gorgeous manicures done like this and I've decided to try it - it's not my best design ever but I am pretty happy with it it.

    I did it using a no-name stamping plate (from the same collection as this one) but I didn't take a picture of it.

    BUT....I used my fav stamping polishes from MoyouNails.

    The -clear jelly stamper- hype !!

    Hello Hello !!


    OMG -  I was so excited when I saw on...literally every social media  this stamper ...that I couldn't resist and I had to get it too.

    Finally...after some waiting it arrived and of course I couldn't wait to try it , so here it is. I got the stamper from BornPrettyStore ( it's on sale for only 2.99) and together with it a stamping nail polish .

    I don't even know where to start - I have so many things to say and show :D


    This is how the stamper looks like - I got the all white version, and not the coloured one : pink or blue (yay) and the scraper too.

    About the scraper ...I think they did a good job with this one - being all plastic (the older ones had a metal tip) works a lot better, it spreads the polish better on the stamping plate. Maybe other people did a fine job with the other one but I didn't - I hated the sound it made while scraping too.


    JELLY JELLY JELLY JELLY

    Yes, jelly stamper - it has a very soft consistence and it's very soft and squishy, I absolutely LOVE it.

    This is the kind of stamper I would play with all day - just having it in my hands and pushing it. ( I don't sound crazy, don't I? ) - just like an anti stress ball.

    I reviewed another interesting stamper HERE, and in comparison to that one the clear jelly one is a bit harder (the difference is not very big) and also bigger. I love the fact that it has a 2.8 diameter because you can easily pick up bigger design and cover up bigger nail beds or longer nails.
    And another advantage compared to the other one is that this stamper stands - the other end is flat (and open too - i will show you later) and you can easily put it on the table without any fears that it will ruin the design.
    This is how the stamper looks with a design on it.

    I did nothing to prepare the head - it simply picked up the image right away - no filling and no wiping with nail polish remover (!!!) - I read some reviews where the girls had problems with picking up images and I was very curious to see if I encounter such problems..

    As you can see the image is perfectly transferred.

     THIS is the nail polish I used !

    There are not much to say about it - it's perfect (as you can see on the stamper). Very opaque - a very important trait from my point of view when we're talking about stamping nail polish- and the drying time is perfect.

    Not too fast not too long - you get enough time from the plate, to the stamper and on the nails.

    You still have to move fast but that's what stamping is all about.

    Look how well the nail polish fills up the design on the plate - no empty spaces.
    The plate I used I received from Kinga  as a Secret Santa gift!


    Back to the stamper now !

    The "hype" as I said in the title...is due to the fact that you can see trough the other end while you stamp.
    Thanks to this new "invention" we can finally see where and how we stamp! Kudos to that.

    In the photo above you can see the image i want to stamp from the other end of the stamper.


    And...the final photo I want to show to you is this one. As you can see the design transferred perfectly - good job stamper good job nail polish.

    Be aware if you use this nail polish - it stains the skin, not the nail though. You can see on my finger that I have blue stains so be extra careful and use some peel off base if you have. I also ruined the design because I desperately tried to clean the skin for the photos ...but I couldn't.

    If we talk about the stamper we need to pay extra care when we clean it. I am used to cleaning my stampers with polish remover - it's a lot easier and faster since I have it there whenever I stamp so I can clean the stamping plate.
    From what I've read ...this clear jelly stamper will be compromised if you use polish remover. Instead...you can use scotch tape or a lint roller.

    Here's my option for cleaning the stamper :

    January's Nails Challenge - Inspired by favorite drink

    Buna seara!

    A mai trecut o saptamana...si am revenit cu o noua manichiura.

    Trebuie sa recunosc ca mi-a dat bataie de cap aceasta tema. Bautura mea preferata este "mojito' - oricat am incercat sa reproduc bautara sau sa creez ceva asemanator...nu am reusit. Prin urmare, am apelat la atotputernicul google si am cautat 'cocktail-uri colorate" , si asa mi-am gasit inspiratia : Pina-Colada tini .

    Nu o sa va plictisesc cu detalii despre aceasta bautura si o sa va arat ce am facut. Nu sunt multumita de manichiura, am refacut-o de 2 ori ...dar asta este si asta va arat !

     Ca sa fac aceasta manichiura am decis sa folosesc culori acrilice si o pensula (cea mai mare greseala)

    Din cauza ca nu sunt o mare adepta a ombre-ului nu prea ma pricep sa le fac - nici cu buretele si nici cu pensula dupa cate am aflat.

    M-am chinuit enorm sa amestec culorile si tot nu mi-a iesit perfect. De fiecare data cand fac o manichiura de acest gen imi aduc aminte de ce nu imi place sa fac ombre.

    Mi-a luat cam o ora sa fac 5 unghii (evident ca nu am facut modelul la ambele maine)
    Dupa ce am facut baza am aruncat repede o ciresica , am facut poze si le-am sters.

    Sper totusi sa va placa :)






    Eu zic sa vedem ce bauturi iubesc fetele :
