Hello Kitty Manicure

I've recevied Hello Kitty image plate a while ago from BornPrettyStore. I decided to add Hello Kitty to Golden Rose Chamelleon Effect 28. :P

I've got image plate M71 with HK design and stamper with scraper.

Don't forget to pill down the tiny film over the plate, it's really even hard to see it.

I've only Essence Stamper and Scraper so I compared them together.

BornPretty Stamper and scraper on the left and Essence on the right

They're both same sizes, but the Essence stamper is smoother than BornPretty's that's why I found stamper from BP better, it picks up the pattern easier than Essence's.
I don't use a scraper because it scratches my image plates, so I'm using one old credit card, it works perfectly. :)

First I added HK on my ring finger and than dots on others, but it somehow didn't match together, so I added black funky french inspired by amazing Erika from Chloe's Nails. She's really making magic with scotch tape. :L

Valentine's Day ♥

It's a Valentine's Day today! Hope you're spending a nice time with those you love!

I made this manicure yesterday for this special day. It's not just a Valentine's day for me, every 14th in the month reminds me that I'm one month longer with my BF. Today we're 2 years and 10 months together... Love you honey!

Let's start with my manicure... I couldn't decide what color should I wear.. I didn't want ending with red, so I picked all these color and made pink-a-lilac creme skittles.

Essence - No More Drama

Essie - Lilacism

Orly - Lollipop

China Glaze - Something Sweet

China Glaze - Rich & Famous

I added 2 coat of each and 1 coat of Essie G2G. I didn't have any problems with applications. Here's one picture, but I forgot to include my thumb.

Sorry for the bad picture, it was so grey outside!

Then I started thinking what should I do now.... I searched for inspiration at many blogs and then decided to do this... Mix and match...

I was just holding Pure Ice for taking pictures, I didn't use it for this manicure. It's the only bottle I have at BF's.

Daylight, cloudy day

From L to R:
Essence - No More Drama stamped with Essence - Stamp me! White & Confetti - Vava Voom + BM02
Essie - Lilacism stamped with Essence Stamp me! White + m73
Orly - Lollipop sponged with Wet n Wild - Glitz
China Glaze - Something Sweet stamped with Essence Stamp me! White & Confetti - Vava Voom + BM02
China Glaze - Rich & Famous stamped with Essence Stamp me! White + m79

I tried sponging for the first time and I really like it how it turned out. What do you think? It's not classic red&white manicure, but it's so me. I spent an hour for this and then half hour just for my pinkie. I was perfectly done with both hands and then I ruined my pinkie... I decided to start at the beggining and ruined it again... And again... And again... And finally made it.

I won't be posting this week, because I'm having an exam on Thurdsay and I have to study. I also forgot all my polishes at home.

Happy Valentine's day girls!

Xoxo,

Ivana

Confetti - Vava Voom + Konad

I get up late again so when I wanted to take photo of my manicure it was already a night outside. And the weather is so bad, so boring and depressed. Hate it!

I add polka dots pattern from M79 Konad Image plate. I'm so happy Essence started selling a nail art white stampy polish, because I always wanted to find alternative for white Konad nail polish. It works great and it's cheap - 1,89€ per bottle for 5 ml.

That's it! Like it? I must admit that I like it but lengh of my nails is going me crazy. Why? I don't know. When my nails are longer, they start curving and that's I really hate. I think I'll shorten them a little. I'm always crying that I want long nails and when I'm on a good way to have them, I'm not satisfied.
Who would understand me?

Xoxo,
Ivana

Pink Ombre Manicure + Konad

What's up, folks?

It's such a boring day and my head is killing me. I have insomnia again, can't sleep at night, I usually fall asleep at 9 AM. I hope I'll be better tomorrow.

A few days ago I recevied a konad image plate M79 with a polka dot pattern, yaaaay! So I tried it today. I used same nail polishes, which I used for my Ombre manicure - Bubble gum pink and Vava Voom. I totally forgot to say that Vava Voom is one coater, so pigmented, so I found another nail polish for stamping.

I must admit that this pattern is so hard to stamp, because sometimes dots lose the round shape and then it doesn't look good so I had to stamp it a couple of times to get a decent round dots. I think I need more practise.

One fall picture.

Do you like "Polka Dots" design?

Take care,
Ivana
