26 Great Nail Art Ideas: Made with a mat or on plastic

Made with a mat or on plastic is this week's challenge theme.





For this polish I used Essie Midnight Cami and Leading Lady, plus Picture Polish White Wedding. I followed this tutorial by Nailasaurus, using Midnight Cami as a base and all three polishes on my Übermat for the pattern. One coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top finished this mani.

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.

Edge Of The Cosmos has a dark plum colored jelly base filled with holographic glitters in hex, star, dot and half moon form, plus holo microglitters. I used three coats for opacity and added a generous coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top for a smooth surface.
