31DC2014 Day 22: Inspired by a Song - Let It Snow

Hello there ladies!
Dont know what is it but lately I have been missing winter. The snow, holidays, presents haha
So today's manicure represents Let It Snow.

That's a bottle of China Glaze There's Snow One Like You I'm holding! Since I saw this polish for the first time on the internet I wanted to buy it really badly! So today when I came across it at the store I went ahead and bought it and the rushed home to do this mani.
Unfortunately it was already dark when I finished so I had to use a lamp for my pictures which didnt to them any good I think, so I appologize for it.
The polishes I used:

 

I started with a coat of O.P.I. Alpine Snow on my pinky and thumb just so the cuticle line turns out more crisp and accurate. Then I applied two thin coats of There's Snow One Like You. On my ring finger I applied two coats of Dining Al Frisco and on my index and middle two coats of Dance Legend #342.

For snowflakes I used Milv water decals  from 3 different sheets. I sponged on some Fanta-Sea on index and middle, and also some DL #342 pn my ring finger to create icy frosty look. I finished with one coat of quick dry top coat.

I liked how this turned out and especially my new China Glaze polish! It's just as cool as I imagined it and I cannot wait to use it for more winter holiday manicures!

31DC2014 Day 16: Geometric print - Tetris nails

Hello there ladies!
Since "tribal" got changed to "geometric" this year I thought I'd go all the way geometric and make Tetris nails! I'm actually happy about it not being mandatory tribal because I would most likely suck so bad at that!

To create this look I started with 2 coats of Dance Legend #1025 Grey Britain from Smoky collection and made some custom decals. These nails turned out pretty much as I planned them! Being a video game freak I'll be happy to wear them until tomorrow when I'll have to remove them for a new manicure :)

31DC2014 Day 07: B&W - Black cats and saran wrap

Hello there!
For today's B&W manicure I did some saran wrap manicure and used black cat water decals for my accent nails.

You can find an awesome saran wrap tutorial here. The polishes I used:

I started with 3 coats of O.P.I. Alpine Snow, then made saran wrap using all three polishes. Dance Legend Grey Britain is an awesome grey polish from Smoky collection, it has matte black micro shimmer which creates that smoky effect that I love. Sally Hansen Black Out is an a little bit jelly-ish black polish, the kind you wouldnt use for stamping. Then I applied my black cat water decals and finished with a coat of topcoat.

And couple of close-ups:

Thanks for reading and see you tomorrow! :)

Polish friday: beach

Polish friday is a Russian Instagram flashmob held on fridays (d'oh!)
This friday's theme is beach! I tried to make a sea impression using saran wrap technique. The polishes i used are Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear #280 and #340 and Dance Legend #343.

Dance Legend Chameleon swatches

Hello ladies! I am very happy and excited to share couple of polishes from Dance Legend Chameleon collection. I'm excited because Dance Legend is a Russian brand and it's always awesome to see amazing stuff like these gorgeous multichrome polishes made in your home land!

The polishes from this collection are named after Monsters, Inc. characters, I have Boo and Sulley.

Boo is a magenta/copper/green multichrome. The shifting is rather subtle and to me it appears copper most of the time, althouth it does get magenta in the shadow. The formula is on a watery side which goes very well with the thin round brush. I applied two coats for full opacity, and added Sally Hansen InstaDry top coat, because the finish is not as shiny as I would have liked for this polish.

You can see a hint of green - it's not really easy to catch.

 And some close-ups:

Sulley is green/blue/purple. Color shifting is very strong here and you can see it pretty much in any lighting! This polish is just so amazing. It's more sheer than Boo, the formula and the brush are the same though. I used three coats for full opacity in the pictures below and Sally Hansen InstaDry top coat.

In the shadow:

What I like the best about this polish is that you can see a tiny purple sparkles on green and blue, it looks amazing. Let's see the close-ups:

You can purchase Dance Legend polishes at their website as well as other places online.

My first blog entry

 Hello there! This is my first blog entry and I have decided to share this daisies manicure with you.

 It's summer and I felt like doing something bright and floral this time. For this manicure I used two coats of Dance Legend #332 and while it was still wet made some flowers using dotting tools of various sizes with white polish Eva Mosaic #053 and yellow Dance Legend #73 from Fresh collection.
