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

Essie Where's my Chauffeur + OPI Pirouette my Whistle

When I saw the first swatches of Essie's Where's my Chauffeur, I wanted this colour badly. It is for my such a great tone, it reminds me of Tiffany's aswell as it let me think of spring and summer.

This green-turqoise shade is such a nice combination and goes with a lot of other colours. I got myself a bag and a scarf with similar shades to mix.

I used Microcell Repair as a base coat, 2 coats of Essie Where's my Chauffeur? and one coat of Sally Hansen's Insta Dry

 

 

 

 

 

I loved to see a glittery combination, so I decided after two days to add OPI Pirouette my Whistle and I think this is a great looking yet simple combination.

[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.

[NOTD] Rememberance Day

Hello there,

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

Today is Rememberance Day and so I decided, to add some poppys to my manicure:

I started with two coats of Technic nailpolish in taupe:

And added the poppys with a dotting tool:
RED: NYC Madison Avenue
BLACK: NYC City Blackout

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
