Turqoise - Salmon Combination with white Polka Dots

Hi there,

today, I have an easy, yet wonderful manicure for you.

I saw a similar colour combination on this wonderful blog, and so I used it as an inspiration to create my own manicure.

Actually, this blog has some great manis and colour combinations, her skills and ideas are amazing and so inspiring!

This blog used a mint hue, while I'm using a turqoise shade by Manhattan. The peach-apricot-coral-salmon hue I used is P2 Being in heaven, that's the own brand of Germany's wonderful drugstore dm.

I applied the turqoise in 2, the salmon in 3 coats:

The applied the white polka dots with a dotting tool using NYC's Pinstripe White.

[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:

Sunday's Facebook Challenge #9 Stamp your profession

Hey there,
Sunday is almost over, but I was busy all the day, so I show you my mani for today's Facebook Callenge in the evening.

Today's topic is "Inspired by your profession". Well really difficult for me as I work as an Au Pair and I don't have any stamps that fit.

So I went with another thought. I am minding 4 kids, 3 boys and a cute little two year old girl. She is so cute, I really would steal her from her family if I could. So as she loves pink and Minnie Mouse and Hello Kitty I did a girly pinkish mani with a Hello Kitty stamping.

First I went with three coats of the beautiful "Prospect Park Pink" of NYC's. It such a nice elegant rose colour, I really fell in love with.

 Then I used Dashica's SdP-46 on the tumb and ring finger and Cheeky's CH-24 on the middle finger and used a dotting tool for the polka dots. The polish I used for this is OPI Mauving to Manitoba.

Sunday's Facebook Challenge #8 Stamping + Tape

It seems like I haven't participated on the Facebook Challenge since years. Every weekend I was kind of busy or I forgot to participate, but for this weekends challenge I'm back with a great theme.

It's tape and stamping, two great things combined and I decided to go with one of my favourite themes. I am celebrating the NHL season, that finally started last weekend and so I went with a mani for my favourite team, obviously the Pittsburgh Penguins.

 

 

So I first used Micro Cell as a base coat and then I applied two coats of NYC Pinstripe White and the Technic Gold polish onto my nails.

TAPE:
On the thumb and ringfinger, I then used the tape and Technic Gold and on my pinky I used NYC City Blackout.

STAMPING:
Thumb & ringfinger: Cheeky CH-8
Index & middlefinger: HB 41

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sunday's Facebook Challenge #7

Hello,
I hope you are enjoying your Sunday!

Today I have a new Challenge from our Facebook Page:
It's a bit personal cause the stampingplates should match your month of birth.

Well actually I found a plate that combines my day and month or birthday. It's the Konad m-59 and although, the theme is a bit early, I couldn't resist to do these beautiful snowflakes:

What I used:

 

As a base I used one coat NYC Pinstripe White, although it is a bit streaky I left with that, because you wouldn't see the white in total at the end:

Then I used NYC Madison Avenue and the Pinstripe White and did some sponging over the white:

 

 

Then for the stamping I used Essie Sole Mate and Konad's m59

 

 

 

 

 

 

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:
