Quick nailart with polish

Vinilux "Rubble" is one of the hottest colors of the season.
Personally, I love Vinilux polishes, they are applied easily, cover really well and dry super fast. They say that they last longer than normal polish (7 days with no chipping, no basecoat), but I really can't say, since all polishes last well on me.

I made a quick design with no water marble. I used a coat of Vinilux Rubble, and a coupke of drops from NfuOh 544 and a white polish, marbled quickly with a needle, and applied rhinestones in the smileline. Super quick:)

Last minute nailart - easy bows - No tools

Here is a super easy nailart for new years eve, or party... or any other occasion if you change the colors:)

It seems I am stuck with red and gold these days.. I will not say glitter, because I love glitter all year long:)

Well, this nailart is done with a toothpick, no tools needed. I polished my nails, used the toothpick to paint a gold bow, and used the same toothpick to engrave the lines inside, the details. Here is the video of this super easy, last minute nailart:

The products I used:

CND "Veronica"

CND "Gold sparkling"

GLAMOROUS (gold)

SEVENTEEN N.529 Platinum Gold (glittery)

and of course, the toothpick!

I have already been asked to recreat this look, over red polishes. Maybe I will add the photo of it on top of IBD "Cosmic Red", but I can't edit any picture right now, too tired..

Easy christmas nailart with foil

Last week I gave foils another try. I enjoy their looks, but I get so frustrated when they crack right after top coat.. and I have tried so many!

 I applied a dark red polish on all nails, except the ringfingers, where I applied a gold one. Then I applied foil adhesive, waited until it became transparent, and added the foil.

This time I tried 2 methods: On one hand I applied NFU Oh Aqua base on top of the foil (dries a bit slow) and then I used CND Super Shine top coat, which is not a fast dry one. Fast dry top coats always crack the foil.. The cracks were barely visible, but the foil lost some of the holo effect.

On the other hand, I applied the foil adhesive on top of the foil, let it dry very well (about 20min) and then I applied the Super shine top coat. This had the best results I have seen with polish so far, barely seen cracks and barely lost holo effect.

You can definately say which one is which..

    Then I decided it was too plain, so I added some gold stamping and glitter:)

I know, the thumb is different, but I always try on my thumbs first. I didn't like this Cheeky stamp, so I did the rest with another one, from the same Jumbo plate:)

Would you try foils for your nailart these days?

Christmas Glam

Finally, my collaboration nailart with Beyonceesha is uploaded on youtube, and I am very excited!

We both used similar methods, hers being a more christmas design, lol, but my daughter said that my balls look like ornaments, too:)

I made a french manicure with CND "Serene Green" and topped it with "Emerald shimmer". Only the ringfinger is polished entirely. I then applied white polish, forming circles, added a drop of light green inside them and marbled. Then I made the outlines with black gel and cured in a uv lamp.

Then I applied the gold foil. On the lower hand, it was applied directly on the black gel's inhibition layer, on the upper hand I cleansed and applied foil adhesive and when it dried I applied the foil. As you can see, it was better with the foil adhesive. Although I could fix it with gold polish or paint, I left it like this, because it kind of looked like an antique gold..

I then applied IBD clear gel on top of the foil and marble circles, forming balls, for a more 3d look. I also applied a bit of gel on the golden smilelines and cured in a uv lamp. The gel worked as a magnifying glass, and the result was very beautiful.

I then cleansed once again and applied my normal top coat. Here are the products I used for this nailart:

So, the tutorial is already uploaded on youtube, and I am very happy. Beyonceesha did her best to keep the date, even though she had a problem with her computer and couldn't upload for a week. 

She made a beautiful nailart, don't you think?

If you want to check the video, here it is, I have her links at the end:

Cute snowman french

Time is aproaching, it will be Christmas soon, but it is already snowing in many places around the world. This  cute snowman with beanie hat is handpainted (sadly, on one of these days when I feel I have two left hands..) but still looks cute, I think :)

I made a french manicure with an ink blue polish (Cnd Inkwell). I know it looks black, and the fact is that it also looks like black in real, just not the raven black. I faded the smileline with the sponge to let the color show more. I added Cnd gold sparkle effect, which is almost the same as Northern lights in gold and my topcoat, and then started painting..

 

I uploaded the tutorial on my channel, to watch it click here.

Here are the products I used:

Remember, I don't like Lidan very much, but I don't like to waste products (or money) either, so I will use them in nailart until I run out. Never for one stroke, though..
