My Queen of hearts and her red roses!

Hi Nail Polish Addicts!

Here I am with a wonderful polish to show you! My friend Rachel generously accepted to blend me a custom polish (all the way from Australia!).


I didn't thought I could layer it over another color than grey, but I found other pretty combinations after all! Here I applied one coat over two coats of Zoya - Yara :)
If you are jealous and want to purchase it, go buy the inspiration for it: Once Upon A Polish - Queen of Hearts!

For the accent nails, after the background color was dry, I started by drawing roses with a fine white Posca (acrylic paint pen).
I added the drops of red using a tiny brush and China Glaze - Adventure Red-Y. I finally outlined them with the same brush and Wet'n Wild - Black Crème ;)



I am really in love with this polish and its combination with khaki! <3
I'm not sure if I did well with the accent nails though... What do you think?

Have a wonderful day ladies!

Vintage Flowers for Day 9 of My Favorite Things Nail Challenge!

Hello everyone!

Today is the day of floral nails! And I had tons of ideas for today, but after I saw a tutorial from Robin Moses I picked this vintage design. It is kind of abstract so it was quicker to do than every idea I had ;)



I only used nail polishes so it was quite different to do than with acrylic paint on Robin Moses video ;)
Almost everything here is a mix of color:
-background: Wet'n Wild - Black Crème
-background highlights: Wet'n Wild - Black Crème , Essie - Navigate Her
-roses: China Glaze - Adventure Red-Y, OPI - Hot & Spicy , OPI - Alpine Snow
-violets: Rouge Baiser - Gris Lavande
-leaves/plants: OPI - Uh-Oh Roll Down the Window , China Glaze - Kahalari Kiss , Modelite - Yellow


Here is an extra picture because I realized during shopping that my nails were matching my wallet!


I really love these nails I think they are romantic & classy.

I just thought of maybe adding the Louboutin touch to my nails, what do you think?

I'm really sad it's almost the end of the challenge, I really had fun doing it!!



You can find more informations on the challenge here: Ohlalapolish's Nail Art Challenge



Have a great day! <3

Lavender patchwork

Hello everyone!

I hope you are doing great!
I've been really busy, so here is a nail art from the vault! I think I did this 1 year and a half ago!



I started by one coat of a lavender franken I made from Seche - Blanc & China Glaze - Avalanche.
Then I did random white stripes with Seche - Blanc which I covered later with a stamping from the stamping plate m57 and the lavender franken.

I added the purple stripes using Debby - Color Play 91 and I stamped the previous design in random parts of the nails with Gosh - Purple Heart.
I finished by applying some little flower stickers and my topcoat! :)


I remember this was quite long to do but I think it was worth it ;)
I was inspired by the talented nekonotsume for this mani, check her blog out!

Let me know if you like this design ;)
