[Stamping] p2 Volume Gloss Happy Bride & Fresh Sister

Hi there!

I hope you are all okay. 
Today, I have a nice summery stamping with a saran wrap base for you!




First I used p2 Happy Bride in one coat. If I would have worn this polish on it's own, I would have applied a second coat.



I used p2 Fresh Sister and cling film to create this effect:


The stamping is done with the white stamping polish by essence and Cheeky's plate CH 14.

Sorry, but do we know each other?! #2 - Essence Miami Heat

Hi there,

I hope you're all having a great start into the new week.

We're having wonderful sunshine here in Germany.

Perfect weather for my next nail polish out of my box: "Sorry, but do we know each other?" - Colours I bought months ago but haven't tried them, yet.

Essence Miami Heat - Miami Roller Girl LE
This bright orange is out of the Miami Roller Girl Limited Edition by Essence and it's from the last summer.
I think, I have used it once for a summer skittle (see here) it but haven't used it for a propper manicure since then.

I applied two coats but 3 would have been better!

Sunday Facebook Challenge - Birthstone Colour - Emerald Green

Hi there,

today's theme of the facebook stamping group is "Birthstone Colour"

I am born in May, so my color is EMERALD

Emerald is a symbol for rebirth and it should grant youth, good fortune and forsight to the owner. 


The word origin is Smaragdós/Greek or Smaragdus/Latin wich is translated as green gem. Emerald itself is derived from Esmeralda/Esmeraldus (vulgar Latin) a  variant of the Latin word Smaragdus.




Actually, there are some greens in my stash, but it took me a while to find the perfect green for this nail art.

China Glaze Jolly Holly & Glittering Garland are the both greens I used - I used the first one in two coats over Essie Help me grow and sealed it with Essence BTGN Top Sealer. Then I used a sponge and Glittering Garland to put it on the tips.
I stamped with H&M Golden Treasure and Konad m78. Actually this is one of my favourite image plates! I finished my stamping with Essence BTGN Top Sealer.

[NOTD] Maybelline Berry Fusion & Stamping with NYC Aqua Mystic

Hi there,

hope you all had a great start into the new week.



Today, I just have a NOTD with a stamping for you.

I used Essie Help me grow as a base, then, 2 coats of Maybelline's Berry Fusion, a wonderful darker, shimmery berry shade. Love colours like this. I used two coats but one should be enough, as well.

1 coat of Essie Good to go.




The image plate is an essence one, I got recently. They have a few nice ones, and I usually have no problems stamping with them.


I used NYC Aqua Mystic. It's from the foil explosion LE. I bought 3 shades while I was in Ireland, and I will show them to you, hopefully, this week.

I sealed it with Essence Better Than Gel Nails TC.






Have a wonderful week and don't forget:

[NOTD] Glamour in Red

Hello there,

today we went to a great brunch and I want to show you my manicure for this event. My Dad celebrated his 70th birthday this November and my Mum will be 50 the next month, so they celebrated their birthdays together on this day. It was a great atmosphere and awesome to talk to my cousins and my brother and his beautiful girlfriend.

So I went with a black top, black trousers and a cardigan in grey-white-black, so I decided to go with some red for my nails and lips...


I used the Perfect Formula gel coat in two coats as a base and applied one coat of OPI The thrill of Brazil.




Then I used a sponge and China Glaze Ring in the Red to use it on my tips and finished with one coat of Essence Better than gel nails Top Sealer.

Happy Birthday DAD!

Hi there,

I hope you are all doing fine!
Well, today is my Dad's 70th birthday, and apparently, because I am in Ireland, I won't be there for his birthday.
Nevertheless, I made a little manicure, I might have worn:



I first started with one thicker coat of NYC City Blackout:



Then on top one coat of Esprit Clear Glow:

 
 
 
 
Then I used Essence Silver Twister and Cheeky Image Plate 9 to create the stamping, I finished with another coat of Esprit Clear Glow
