Classical Aurora







Today's the last day of a cold wave here in Switzerland, so I have some more snowflakes to show you.





My base color is Essie Classical Chliché, a polish I got from my mom for my last birthday. It's a sheer light blue with strong golden shimmer, that gives the polish a greenish look. I used three coats, and as you can see, this one doesn't get completely opaque.





For the snowflakes I used Colour Alike Aurora and B. loves plates B.05 let it snow. As usual, I added one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top.

Lunar Halo





Happy Monday! For today's "moon-day" I have a moon themed polish to show you, Femme Fatale's Lunar Halo.





Lunar Halo has a clear base filled with color shifting and silver holo glitters from tiny tiny shimmer-like to huge hexes. It's really sheer, the pictures show three coats and you can still clearly see my nail below it. If you want an opaque finish with this one, you have to layer it over a opqaue base. It's really glittery, but one generous coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top was enough for a smooth finish.













Femme Fatale polishes are available at their shop , Norway Nails  and Color4Nails.

Nail Crazies Unite: Red & black hobbies









Red and black hobbies are this week's challenge theme. One of my hobbies are city trips, I try to visit at least two cities a year. So I went with a skyline in front of a sunset for this prompt.





For the sunset background I used MoYou London Autumn Harvest and Rust Red and a red Born Pretty Store stamping polish. The skyscrapers I staped with Born Pretty Store black stamping polish and Vivid Lacquer plate VL-004, the lights I added using a yellow Born Pretty Store stamping polish and a dotting tool. I added one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top for protection and extra shine.

Valentine's Day





Happy Valentine's Day! I don't celebrate, but I still wanted to wear an appropriate mani.




As base I applied two coats of OPI Casino Royale. For the stamping I used China Glaze Wood You Wanna and Pueen plate 41. One coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top finished this mani.

Somebody in the Nail Crazies Unite group doesn't look forward to next week's Valentines Day, since today's theme is Anti Valentine...





I started with two coats of Born Pretty Store's red stamping polish, stamped some hearts on it using Born Pretty Store white stamping polish and Pueen plate 55, then this sort of barbed wire pattern with Lily Anna plate 05 and Born Pretty Store black stamping polish. As usual, I added onne coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top.
