[NOTD] Manhattan Community Colours Fall Collection "Coffee Cream" & "Lil ol' Rose"

Hi there,

I hope you all had a great start in this new week.

Today, I want to show you another stamping with one of my favourite stamping plates Konad m65. I just love the roses image.

So with this goes two new polishes, that are new for this autumn. It's Manhattan's Community Colours "Bohemian Look". 20 wonderful colours with different finishes, creme, foil or glitter. 

Coffee Cream is a wonderful nude, cream hue with a wonderful shimmer. You can't see it on my pictures as it is raining here in Germany and so it's really dark and dull. 
I needed to apply three coats and actually, there could have been a fourth one on some nails.

For the stamping, I used Lil ol' Rose. It's a wonderful dusky pink! This one has a creme finish.

[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:

But at least I like the Esprit Top Coat and the Stamping...

[Nail Art] Challenge Round up - Design in Orange & Green, Flip-Flops and Summer Glitter Sandwich

Am heutigen Mittwoch möchte ich euch drei Designs zeigen, die ich zur Facebook Summer Nail Art Challenge gemacht habe. Die Themen waren sommerliches Grün & Orange, Flip-Flops und ein sommerliches Glittersandwich.

This wednesday I want to show you some of my latest designs from the Facebook Summer Nail Art Challenge. I participated in the days with summery green & orange, flip-flops and glitter sandwich mani.

First manicure is the orange and green design:

I decided to go with a tape mani, used some DIY scissors for a special design:

Für meine erste Mani im orange/grün Design entschied ich mich eine Tape Mani auf meine Nägel zu bringen, indem ich eine spezielle Zick-Zack-Schere dafür verwendete um einen besonderen Look zu kreieren:

Base Coat P2

2 Coats of Essence Colourbration, I really love that light glittery green with sparkles in silver, orange and copper.

1 Coat of Essence Better than Gel Nails Top Sealer

Then I used the tape to create the design. For the orange I used a polish by H&M, I don't know the name, I bought it last winter as a part of a set with 5.

Finished with Essence Nail Art Top Sealer.

Um das Zick-Zack-Design hin zu bekommen, hab ich die Bastelschere verwendet und entsprechend die freien Stellen mit einem Lack in Orange von H&M lackiert (er war in einem Mini-Set und hat keinen entsprechenden Namen, außer Orange).

Finish bildete der Essence Nail Art Top Sealer.

Second Mani Flip Flops:

I am a big Flip Flop fan, love to wear them in the summer for casual events. So I decided to give my nails a golden-nude base, then apply some colurful polkadots and finish with some stripes and a rhine stone on each nail.

Im Sommer trage ich Flip Flops zu lässigen Outfits besonders gerne, für mich ist er der Schuh, der Sommer schreit. Daher habe ich mich entschieden, meinen Nägeln einen Nude-Gold-Ton zu verpassen und darauf bunte Polkadots zu platzieren, als Finish noch entsprechende Flip-Flop Riemchen und ein kleines Steinchen et voilà das Flip Flop Design ist fertig:

Base bildet P2 Base + Care Coat und 2 Schichten Essence irreplaceable, gefolgt von einer Essence BTGN Top Sealer.

I used P2 Base + Care as a base coat followed by two coats Essence irreplaceable. Then applied Essence BTGN Top Sealer.

Next, I put some Polka Dots onto my nails by using a dotting tool
I used:
Index: Catrice Forget me not
Middle F.: Essence Exit's on your right
Ring F.: Essence Four wheel drive
Pinky: Catrice Blues Brothers Vol. II

For the stripes I used Essence Fine Liner
Finish: Essence Nail Art Top Sealer

Third Mani Summer Glitter Sandwich:

Usually I don't prefere colours that are not really opaque, and OPI's Y'all come back ya hear is one of these candidates. I love the colour as itself but I don't like the outcome on my nails. Because of it's characterisitcs, I really love to do glitter sandwichs with it and so I decided to use this colour for the next mani.

Ich bin kein großer Fan von nicht deckenden Lacken. Und leider gehört der OPI Y'all come back ya hear auch zu dieser Kategorie. Dennoch sind seine Eigenschaften perfekt um ein sommerliches Glitter Sandwich zu zeigen.

Base Coat war P2 Base+Care, dannach folgten drei Schichten des OPI Lacks Y'all Come back ya hear und eine Schichte Essence BTGN Top Sealer.

Base Coat was P2 Base + Care followed by three coats of the OPI polish and one coat Essence BTGN Top Sealer.

For the glitter I used Essence Circus Confetti Topper and applied one last coat of OPI's Y'all come back ya hear. Top Coat was Essence Nail Art Top Sealer.

Manhattan Blogger Edition Swatches + Puzzle Nail Art

Heute möchte ich euch zwei weitere  Lacke der Manhattan Blogger Edition vorstellen. Außerdem habe ich auf diesem Blog eine tolle Nail Art gesehen, die ich unbedingt nachmachen musste:

02M St. Honore und 07S Green Chai, den Grasshopper Cocktail hatte ich euch ja schon gezeigt!

Today I want to show you two more polishes from the Manhattan Blogger Edition; St. Honore and Green Chai, I already showed you Grasshopper Cocktail.

St. Honore - Grasshopper Cocktail - Green Chai

Green Chai hat eine mintfarbene Base mit grünen, silbernen und roten Glitterpartikeln

Green Chai has a light green, mint coloured base with green, silver and red glitter in it

St. Honore ist ein Schokoladenbraun mit feinem goldenen Schimmer

St. Honore is a chocolate brown with a golden shimmer

Für die Mani habe ich den P2 Base + Care als Unterlack benutzt und dann zwei Schichten aufgetragen. Darüber eine Schicht Essence BTGN Top Sealer.


For the mani below, I used P2 Base + Care as a base coat and applied 2 coats of both polishes. Finished with one coat of Essence BTGN Top Sealer.

 

 

 

 

 

For the puzzle pieces I used tape and a dotting tool, you just have to put the tape in diagonal order onto your finger nail, apply one coat of an other polish and then use the dotting tool, to apply the "dots" or pieces, that are similar to a puzzle. (I used the brown outside and applied one dot of the green inside the brown area)

 

 

Für die Puzzle Teile habe ich Tape und ein Dottingtool gebraucht, dafür einfach den Nagel in diagonaler Weise abkleben und einen anderen Lack auf die freien Stellen auftragen. Anschließend verwendet man das Dottingtool um die entsprechenden "Dots" zu setzen, dass es wie Puzzleteile

 aussieht. (Den braunen Lack habe ich entsprechend draußen aufgetragen, während der grüne Lack in der braunen Fläche aufgetragen wurde)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And you can see, it is very easy to do, also on my right hand:
