Yps lackiert Challenge: Herbststimmung

A new challenge starts today, the Yps lackiert Challenge. The first prompt is Herbststimmung, that roughly translates to autumn mood or atmosphere.

I started with a base of gold (L'Oréal Chrome Shine 343), then sponged on the same gold, a light copper (MoYou London Fox Fur), a golden brown (MoYou London It's A Date) and a brownish red (a England Briar Rose). I left the liquid latex on my fingers for the stamping, so you can see why you should always use some cuticle protection when spongeing ;-)

For the stamping I used a very old chocolate brown shimmer (Catrice Smooth Chocolate) and MoYou Lovely Leaves plate 02. One coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top finished the mani.

When Colours Collide: Nude & Gold

Nude and gold where the colors of the latest round of When Colours Collide.

I started with three coats of Essie Topless & Barefoot, a rose leaning nude creme. For the plaid stamping I used Über Chic Pretty In Plaid plate and L'Oréal Chrome Shine 343. One coat of Bundle Monster Smudge Free Top Coat and one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top finished the mani.

Nail Crazies Unite: Sweet Fruit

Sweet fruit is this week's challenge theme. I went with watermelons.





For this design, I used L'Oréal Chrome Shine 347, MoYou London Winter Green, Green Born Pretty Store stamping polish and Essence Black Is Back, plus a nail art brush and a dotting tool (and of course, one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top.

Nail Crazies Unite: Stamping With Flakie Polish Base

Another friday, another challenge theme: stamping with flakie polish base.





I started with three coats of L'Oréal Color Riche 608 Luxembourg Garden, a dove grey polish with green shimmer.





Then I added one coat of Nfu Oh 054, a clear based flakie topper with colorshifting flakies, from green to blue.








For the stamping I used Kiko Mirror Lacquer 625 (Emerald) and ÜberChic Lovely Leaves 02 plate. As usual, I added one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top.

Lacke in Farbe und bunt - weiss

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 white.





My white polish is The Polish Well Roses And Blood, a milky white jelly with small pink glitters and glass fleck shimmer. I used three coats for this still somewhat translucent look.








For the stamping I used L'Oréal Chrome Shine 347 and Bundle Monster plate BM-XL206 (in collaboration with Nailstamp4fun). One coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top finished this mani.

 It seems like sadly The Polish Well polishes are no longer available.

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 - orange

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 orange.





I have to admit, my interpretation of "orange" is quite liberal, but Pumpkin Patch (by Pahlish) has at least orange undertones in its caramel colored base plus some orange and holo glitters. I used three coats and added one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top.





For the stamping I used L'Oréal Chrome Shine 343 and  B. loves plates B.04 stamping plate. Another coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top gave it some extra shine.

Pahlish polishes are available on Bigcartel and at Overall Beauty.
