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.

Sat-ART-day - Hallowe'en

Hello there,

it's another Saturday, and that means it's another Sat-ART-day challenge on the Facebook Page.
The thema for today is, Halloween!

So I went to go with some neutral in black and silver, so this is what I came up with:

So I used NYC Bowery Black in two coats as a base:

Then I used Bundle Monster image plate BM 13 and Essence Silver Twister for the webs and Essie Penny Talk for the Spiders:

 

 

 

Sunday's Facebook Challenge #6 - Spooky & Scary

Hey Lovlies!

I hope you have a nice and wonderful Sunday, I am sitting in the living room and the sun is shining through the windows, we had a great weekend with a lot of sunshine and nice temperature. It was great to have a walk outside in the beautiful autumnal countryside.

So well, let's get started with some stamping for Sunday's Challenge on this Facebook Page.

This weeks theme was "Spooky and Scary - It's Halloween soon, so let's get the scare factor on" Yes, indeed, it's about one and  a half week until Halloween so this is a great choice.
To be honest, things that scare me a lot, are spiders, so I went with a Halloween'ish spider manicure:

As a base, I used this beautiful orange from Essence - Miami Heat in two coats:

Then I used the Bundle Monster plate: BM 13 and P2 eternal to stamp the spider, the net and the french accent on the ring finger:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Halloween Challenge Witches

Hello there!

Well, actually this challenge took place yesterday, but I didn't manage to get onto the computer, so I post my mani tonight.

I really loved that theme, mainly because I have a image plate with bats and witches so this is my mani:

So, I first used China Glaze Mrs. Claus and OPI's Black Onyx on my ringfinger:

 

 

 

As a stamping plate I used Bundle Monster 13 and P2 as polish. For the Ringfinger I used China Glaze's Ring in the Red and a sponge to apply it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Nail Art] P2 Forever + Stamping with P2 Eternal & Manhattan Liquid Metals 65Z

Heute beglücke ich euch wieder mit ein bisschen Stamping. Ich hatte mal wieder eine Idee und hoffte, sie einigermaßen umsetzen zu können.

Today, I wanna show you some stamping nail art. I had an idea, and wanted to know, how it would look like, so have a look.

Base: Essence 24/7 Base Coat

2 Coats P2 Forever
I really love the colour of this polish, for me you can use it for every outfit or occasion. It is kind of brownish, pinkish rosewood and violet.

Für mich ist der Lack ein perfekter Begleiter für jedes outfit und jede Gelegenheit. Er ist eine Mischung zwischen Braun, Violett und Rosenholz.

1 Coat Essence BTGN Top Sealer

Stamping Part 1: P2 Eternal + Konad m-57

Stamping Part 2: Manattan Liquid Metals 65Z+ Bundle Monster BM 06 , BM 09

So, I just showed you what images I used, because now you can see, that you can't see a lot onto the nails:
(Maybe, it's because it's raining cats and dogs at the moment)

 

 

 

Finish Essence BTGN Top Sealer

[Nail Art] Rainbow Gradient (kind of) + Stamping

Es ist Montag, und das heißt wieder Monkey See, Monkey Do.

Dieses Mal habe ich mir für meine Nail Art folgendes Vorbild ausgesucht! Am Ende kann ich sagen, ich habs zumindest versucht.

Today is Monday and we all know what that means, it's monkey see, monkey do. For my mani, I want to do a rainbow gradient with white stamping, as seen on this blog. Well, at least I can say, I tried!

First, I applied one coat of P2 Base+Care followed by one coat of Chillout #03, I love love love this colour!

For the gradient I used the Chillout polish, Manhattan 21G, Essie Coat Azure and a sponge and you can see parts of it on my ringfinger and pinky, not the best one to use for a gradient Manicure.
Finished with one coat Essence BTGN Top Sealer.

For the stamping I used Bundle Monster BM 19 and Essence Stampy Polish in white and finished with one coat of Essence Nail Art Top Sealer.

And as you can see, I had to use the plate twice on my middle finger, the designs from the first Bundle Monster set are way to small.
