NOTD: Fleur de Santé Sparkling Pink stamped

V prejšnji objavi sem vam pokazala Fleur de Santé Sparkling Pink lak. Ker mi je bilo njegovo lesketanje preveč všeč, ga nisem želela odstraniti (pravzaprav je še vedno na mojih nohtih), zato sem se odločila, da ga poštempljam z mojimi novimi Red Angel šablonami iz ZDA (moj nakup stvari iz ZDA bom sicer predstavila v posebni objavi). Lak, ki sem ga uporabila za štempljanje, je Konadov Princess Violet Pearl. Ne bom več odlašala s slikami, povejo več kot besede! ;)

In my previous post I showed you my new Fleur de Santé polish Sparkling Pink. The sparkling was so pretty I didn’t want to take it off (it’s still on my nails btw), so I decided to stamp it with my brand new Red Angel stamping plates I got from USA (I will show my USA haul in a separate post). The stamping polish is Konad Princess Violet Pearl. Let’s just get to it, pictures speak louder than words! ;)

Ker nas je v tej zimi celo obiskal sonček, sem ujela še nekaj lesketanja na soncu (btw na soncu sem slikala, ko je bil lak že štiri dni na mojih nohtih, danes je peti dan, pa se sploh ne kruši, na konicah samo dveh nohtov je minimalna obraba – malo se vidi, da so mi vmes nohti zrasli):

Because we managed to get some sun in this winter, I captured some sparkling in the sun (btw I took these photos in the sun after wearing the polish for four days, today it’s the fifth day and there is absolutely no chipping, minimal tipwear is shown just on two nails – you can see they have grown a little bit in the meantime):

Rahlo me skrbi, da se bom morala fajn potrudit, da ga odstranim ;)

I’m a little bit worried I’ll have to work hard to get it off ;)

Kand nail plate CK-04: take #3

This is my third take on Kand nail plate CK-04, I really like this plate. The base was P2 Blue’s brothers polish and I stamped with Konad special Princess stamping polish Blue Pearl. Here’s what I came up with:

Again I had to stamp my thumb twice, but that doesn’t bother me at all. :) The funny thing I noticed while stamping twice with this Konad polish – when I stamped the first time, the pattern transfered to my nail, but it also stayed on the stamper as well, so I tried to reuse it and I pressed it the second time – the second stamping was more vivid in color, so wierd! I’m thinking, thinner coats of polish on the plate showed more vividness on nails… I have to remember that for the next time. Also, I’ve put top coat on my right pinky, but because it dulled the pattern, I haven’t put it on any other nails. Of course that meant that after 4-5 days the unprotected pattern rubbed away, but I was ready for another manicure anyway. :)

Bourjois 10 days nr. 19 manicure + stamping

Hello! :)

For today's manicure I chose the Bourjois 10 days polish number 19. I have two shades from this Bourjois collection, but I have to say, I don't like the special brush. I'm really clumsy with it :/ But I really like the shades, so the brushes won't keep me from using them :) Sooooo.... here are the pictures:


First two with flash:





And one without it:




I cannot believe what my camera does to the color... it is so hard to catch an accurate shade :/ I also used an Essence Better than gel nails top sealer, which I really like, but the brush has some bristles that stick out and it sometimes streaks my nails... sorry, I'll take care of it!

Anyway, I didn't want to end my manicure here, so I got my stamping equipment out :PP


Here is the end result:






I have to say, at first I was not really pleased with it, but then I got used to it. Trial and error is one way of learning ;)

I stamped a few layers, the first layer of pansies was done with Essence Circus Circus LE polish nr. 04 Cotton candy. On it I stamped different flowers with Konad Princess special polish Violet pearl and for the top layer I stamped a butterfly with Essence stamp me silver. For the stamping top coat I always use the Barry M 3 in 1 polish, it's the best in my experience, it doesn't ruin the stampings.


It's not perfect, but I like it :)


Thanks for checking it out, have fun until next time! ;)
