Advanced stamping Nail art : Roses

These are the longest nails i've had in quite a while. I wanted to do a decal mani before I had to trim them a bit. Love this length but I constantly worry about breaking them or hurting kiddo.

So I made some stamping decals for this.

Filled roses with DL shock

This is a beautiful shade! I just looooooove DL polishes!!

Floral Mermaid Nail Art using Born Pretty plate 110

Still cant get over this mermaid nail pigment as you can see!

I did a bit of nail art to just give it a fresh look after a couple of days. Something bold but not filling.

Base: DL glitter base in white

Coated with BPS neon unicorn mirror powder.

Topped with EZ dip water based top coat

Stamping with M-polish dancing in the streets

Stamping plate: BP 110 (#33743 link)

This plate is a small 55mm dia round plate from BPS collection. Its a neat floral design plate with designs strewn apart each other to clearly allow to see the base polish. The overall design of the plate is very nice and versatile to even allow to make decals. 

As of now this plate retails for $1.59 which is really reasonable. The etching is nice and I had no trouble in pick up. But while cleaning off the polish from the plate the polish was getting a bit stuck in the tiny corners of some designs so I had to wipe off a bit more throughly. Overall I like this plate much and definitely look forward to making some decals with his plate next.

Vinyls and Nails

Another one.

In love with Dance Legend polishes! They are super awesome..the holo flakie is awesome, they dry super fast. Its just difficult to get hands on them directly from russia. I managed to get quite some needless to say the effort was worth it. hehe.

Gold polish: Barry m gold foil

Vinyls: Thorn stencils from Whats up Nails

Shades of Wazowski

So who doesnt remember Mike Wazowski from Monster's Inc. A one eyed green spherical monster that everyone liked for being the best bud to Sulley. Dance Legend made a collection of duochrome polishes on these monsters and each is certainly desirable as the other.

Stamping Polish: Konad White

Stamping Plate: BM S104

Here's a swatch catching the duochrome shift in action

Colorful Afro Nails

Did this one a while back..have a small backlog of manis to post from around September.

Then I got busy with packing for my trip and then the actual trip as around 2 weeks..then once i cme back there was a mountain load of clothes and household work to catch up on. So now u know where I was busy. Slowly trying to catch up on posting stuff here and getting things back to normal.

Thanks for sticking with me so far!

I instantly fell in love with moyou african plates when they released and grabbed them in their September offer. I always resisted buying moyou plates but the offer was too good to resist.

Mirror Nails

I did these for my 2 week trip to Europe in September.

I loved the whole effect overall but I think I goofed up somewhere in my application as these didnt last me through my trip. Need some practice for gel application.

Nail Stickers on Middle and Ring Finger

Stamping from JQ 25 (pointer) JQ 13 (pinkie), using Essence Stampy white and MDU violet

Close up of DL beautiful lie

Its a beautiful purple filled with holo flakies. The flakies give a very vibrant rainbow in direct light and the effect is that of a scattered rainbow. 2-3 coats make it opaque. Dries fast.

The holo in this is much more pronounced than those of Picture polish scatter holos.

Here's a swatch of it in direct light to show you the holo:
