Starry Sky

Do you love starry skies as much as I do? If yes, this mani is for you.

I started with three coats of ILNP By Nightfall. ILNP call the color of this polish asphalt blue, a grey toned blue with very subtle teal undertones and scattered holo.

For the stars I used Essie Blue Rhapsody and Nicole Diary L-10 plate. As usual, I finished with one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top.

The final Frontier

Today I have a rather old mani to show you, I wore this one on a SciFi convention about a month ago.

As base I used ILNP My Little Glacier (H), a multichrome with a subtle shift from an icy blue to a little darker shade and a as well subtle holo effect. For the stamping I used black Born Pretty Store stamping polish and MoYou London Sci-Fi Collection plate 10. I added one coat of Bundle Monster Smudge Free Top Coat and one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top.

Chleo Rose

I really love bright, vivid manis, but sometimes I just need something more subtle, like this one.

As base I used three coats of ILNP Chleo, a nude scattered holo. For the flowers I used aEngland Briar Rose and MoYou London Flower Power Collection plate 06. One coat of Bundle Monster Smudge Free Top Coat plus one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top finished the mani.

Chocolate Cog Wheels

How about some steampunk for today?

I started with three coats of ILNP Chocolate Slate, a chocolate brown (duh) polish with holo sparkles and some golden flakies.

For the stamping I used Barry M. Gold Foil and Born Pretty Store stamping plate Time Travel BPX-L023. If you like steampunk manis, you definitely need this stamping plate, it's full of different cog wheel patterns. As usual, I added one coat of Bundle Monster Smudge Free Top Coat and one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top.

Bulletproof Symphony

 

Bulletproof Symphony is the name of today's polish.

This is a quite interesting polish. From a distance, it looks quite subtle, almmost a little boring. But there's so much going on, as you can see in the macro shot. It has a sheer purple base and is filled with myriads of gunmetal flakies and silver holo sparkles. On the nail, it looks more taupe than purple or grey. The base is too sheer to get the polish completely opaque, but Bulletproof Symphony is so sparkly that the nail line wasn't really visible to the naked eye (other than my camera, who picked it up clearly).

BFF's Flowers

Spring is here, it's time for some flowers.

I started with three coats od ILNP BFF's,a vivid purple scattered holo.

For the stamping I used aEngland Encore Margot and MoYou London Mix & Match Collection plate 10. I fixed the stamping with one coat of Bundle Monster Smudge Free Top Coat and added some KBShimmer Clearly On Top for extra shine.

Envy of Success

St. Patrick's Day is over, but it's never too late for green manis, right?

My base is three coats of Zoya Envy, a very dark green jelly.

On top of Envy, I dabbed one coat of ILNP Success, a clear based flakie topper, shifting from various shades of green to pink. The pink hues are very camera shy, but I can definitely confirm they're clearly visible irl. One coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top gave the mani a smooth finish and some extra shine.

Close Knit Briarwood

I haven't shown an office appropriate mani for some time now, so take a look at this one. Subtle, but not boring, I'd say.

My base is three coats of ILNP Close Knit, a soft pink scattered holo. 

On top of Close Knit, I stamped some subtle red leaves, using aEngland Briarwood and ÜberChic Lovely Leaves plate. One coat of Bundle Monster Smudge Free Top Coat and one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top finished the mani.
