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 :

    The clowny nails with TIP-TOP

    Hello sweeties!

    How is your week until now? :) Mine keeps getting better and better: I am home, I have my babies(the nailpolishes), I am enjoying my vacation AND  the sun is finally up in the sky. (I think there were 2 weeks full of rain and no sun, and it was very depressing).

    What am I going to talk about today is a brand I discovered recently, even if the company was founded in 1981. TipTopNails
    They are located in Johannesburg, South Africa.
    The company has a very strict philosophy behind producing and developing their nail polishes, making sure their products are described by 4 elements: Durability, Innovation, Toxin & Cruelty Free.
    I am not an experted in Vegan nail polishes, but I know the components that are harmfull, TipTop  developing nail polish that is completely FREE of: Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP (Dibuthyl Phthalate) and Camphor. 
    One thing that makes me believe this, is the pleasant smell the nail polishes have. ( the smell is very important to me, because I have a very sensitive nose, and strong smells make be feel ill)

     What I recieved : 


    They are 5 amazing colours(from left to right) : ARMOURPLATE(970), GOLD DIGGER(971), ASTRONAUT(967), CHA CHA CHA(980) and MELTING MARSHMALLOWS(903).
    I like a lot all the colour, but I think I just found THE pink for me.

     You can see in the pic above, a quick swatch. What would you say: 1 or 2 coats? Be prepared to be amazed: ONLY ONE COAT. These are simply amazing. The formula is very very nice, it's very easy to apply because it's quite liquid and it also dries super fast. (If you are on a hurry but still want or need a gorgeous mani, you can choose one of these mani colours TipTop has to offer)

    Today I will be showing you the last 2: CHA CHA CHA  and MELTING MARSHMALLOWS.
    I love pastel nail polish because I think they are very good as base colours and also as a very suble and elegant manicure.

    I did the design on my mother's nails, since she's been very eager to help.
    As an inspiration I had this pattern :

    I was always in love with clowns...not scared like many people are and I decided to do a "tribute" mani for them.
    I hope you'll like my mani as much as I did. I think it's very fun to watch and wear.

     I wanted in a very long time to do this tipe of mani. Since this is sort of a french mani, and how I am a frech mani addict, I absolutely LOVE it.


    The mani is "3 days old" and keeps standing: no chipping no nothing.(I also used the Farmec 3DGelTopcoat) 



    This is my "clowny" nails I did using TipTop nail polish.
    As a conclusion I can say that they are amazing: they are Vegan,they have great covarage in one coat, they dry fast, don't smell bad and they have a very gorgeous shimmer without any topcoat. What else could anyone wish from a nails polish?
    I personally, love them, and I would recommend them to anyone.

    Untill next time, I wish you a good week.
