Kiko Violet Microglitter

Hello everyone!

After a WHOLE NAKED week, I finally painted my nails! As it was a sleepless week I also did something quick (before I went to bed!).

I wanted something I would be sure I'd like, so I went for favorite color : purple!

This gorgeous glitter polish is Kiko - 255 Violet Microglitter!

Here I applied one coat on top of his brother: Kiko - 292 Light Grape a crème polish just a little lighter ;)

I wanted to add a little extra and went with a Konad bow from m59, using Stargazer - 232.

I this is a great combo, and I loooooved wearing this mani! It's pretty simple but was what I needed ;)

This weekend I went to a gastronomie and wine salon in my hometown and it was great:

Have a great day!

Starry Gradient

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while! Still have a lot of work because of my studies, plus it was my 18th birthday! I hope I'll have more free time because I hate to keep a mani when it's chipped and I want to nail art more! :)

This month I received a lot of polish for my birthday being in an AWESOME birthday group! (I'll do a haul birthday gifts post soon!)  I was out of time but with bare nails so I decided to do a gradient combining some of my new polishes:

I had several replacement for my old Wet'n Wild - Black Crème which was becoming gloopy and my friend Yvonne sent me the pretty Essie - Going Incognito :)
I made a gradient with them using a makeup sponge, after one coat of Going Incognito.

On my ring finger I added one coat of Kleancolor - Silver Star (again: thank you Yvonne!) and it was perfectly sparkly!

I really enjoy this mani, do you like it?

Have a great day, I hope to post soon ;)

Cosmic Gradient! My Favorite Things Nail Challenge Day 7 "Glitter"

Hello everyone!

Today is day 7 of My Favorite Things Nail Challenge and the theme is Glitter!

When I think about glitter, I instantly think about a gradient if I want to do nail art. But I wanted to do something a bit complicated for the challenge so I went for a 4 polishes gradient:

As a basecoat I wanted to try using one coat of PVA glue, that's what I did so I'll keep you guys updated on my thoughts!

To achieve the design I started with one coat of China Glaze - Stone Cold, and sponged OPI - Metallic 4 Life on the up part of my nail.
Then I sponged Orly - Space Cadet on the bottom half of my nail and added some duochrome glitter from Kleancolor - Chunky Holo Black.

I really like the effect of this gradient, giving a fire and space aspect that is really cool!
I'm also fascinated with all the polishes I used for this mani so I really like it!

What do you think?

Have a great day! <3

Inversed vintage mani!

Hi!

Do you know which was the way to wear nail polish in the early 20th Century?
This is an ad from the Brand Cutex:

Last week my boyfriend came with a very cool idea! He suggested I could do a reverse of this type of vintage mani!
I began to imagine what color would do the best... Red? That might be too bloody. Black? Then I found which color would make it the more modern: Chrome!

Here is what I came with:

I used Stargazer 232 for the silver, and just base coat and topcoat! :)

The application of a chrome nail polish is very tricky, especially when you paint just parts of the nail: it makes a lot of brush strokes. I had a hard time trying to avoid the storkes but it was worth it!

I really like this look, I find it modern and classy :3

Did you like it? Let me know! :)
