Ink Blue Diamond Necklace

It's icy cold here in Switzerland, so I matched the weather with my nails with this iridescent blue combo.

My base color is Kiko 335 Ink Blue, a royal blue jelly. The polish is quite sheer, as jellies usually are. The picture shows three coats (no topcoat, the shine comes from the Kiko).





Then I added one coat of Pretty & Polished The Diamond Necklace Affair. It has a clear base filled with duochrome hexes and bars, shifting from aqua to blue, silver hexes and iridescent shard glitters, plus some silver microglitter. One coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top provided a glassy finish.

Pretty & Polished are available on Etsy and at their own shop.

Nail Crazies Unite: Blue & White

Blue and white are this week's challenge colors, and this combo just screams "winter landscape", doesn't it?

I started with a blue gradient, using Essie Style Cartel, Avenue Maintain and Find Me An Oasis over a white base (two coats of P2 So Innocent). The landscape I stamped with P2 So Innocent and Bundle Monster plate BM-S187. One coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top finished this mani.

Rule #17: Don't Be A Hero

If you want to survive a horror movie, don't be a hero. That's what Dollish Polish teaches us with this polish ;-)










Don't Be A Hero has a black jelly base with small multichrome hex glitters in it, shifting from red over orange, yellow and green to blue. I used three coats for opacity and added one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top for a smooth, glossy finish.

 Dollish Polish are available at their store.

26 Great Nail Art Ideas: Red & Pink

 

It's time for the next 26 Great Nail Art Ideas mani, this week with the theme red & pink.





I started with three coats of Colors by Llarowe Billie Jean, a deep ruby red shimmer, that looks like it's glowing from the inside.





On top of Billie Jean I stamped some roses using L'Oréal Chrome Shine 349, a pale pink metallic, and ÜberChic Beauty plate 1-02. One coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top protected the stamping and gave the mani some extra shine.

Lacke in Farbe und bunt - marineblau

Lacke in Farbe und bunt is a weekly nail polish challenge by Lenas Sofa and Das Jahreszeitenhaus. Each week they have a new color scheme, and this week's color is navy blue.





My base polish is Different Dimension Blame It On The Pain. The polish is navy blue with duochrome shimmer (blue/purple) and some flakies in it. I used three coats for opacity and had no issues with application.








The zig-zag and dots pattern I stamped using Kiko Mirror Lacquer 623 (Blue), a baby blue metallic, and MoYou London Pro Collection plate 03. One coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top finished this mani.

Different Dimension polishes can be found at their own shop.
