Beautiful nails, as a symbol of status, can show one’s good manners and temperament. Nail art, also known as nail design, refers to the process in which one’s nails are sterilized, cleaned, cared, maintained, reshaped and eventually beautified according to one’s requirements; including the shape of one’s hands, nails, skin and the color of clothing. Nail art boasts diverse characteristics.

Bow, Gift & Branches

The last post for today is again about Christmas design.
Much different from others, it became so nice.  On the French nails I made some traditional staff for Christmas and some dots here and there .
 



 

Snowflakes

The second mani for today was French manicure with snowflakes, which are stickers actually.

                                  Everything else is hand painted.

 
For the flower I have used black gel paint and sprinkled gold microglitter on it when was wet.

Red Manicure & Glod Microglitter

Good Evening Ladies!

Feeling so tired after long day.
In the spirit of out coming Christmas I made some nail design today.
First one is just simple manicure with gold micro glitter swirls.
In my last post I explained you how to do that, so now I will just show you the nails.

Shugar Effect

Good morning Ladies!

Just popped to show you quickly what I have created with my new product. Recently I have received my new builder gel, one movement slant brush,tec. I have ordered some micro glitters to create that popular sugar effect on nails, but my supplier didn't get it, so to please me Kinga Lukazewska from Brillbird sent me as a present gold micro glitter. Just to say thank you I am sharing with you her e-mail if someone wants to order any of Brillbird amazing products brillbirdlondon@gmail.com. She can send you online catalog to have a look at the products.
 
 
 
Let me tell you how you can make those lovely Christmas designs. Very popular this winter, they make you look unique.
 
Steps:
1. Apply base coat and cure
2. Apply 2 coats of you desire colour and cure each for 2 mins
3. Apply a coat finish gel from First Gel ( or gel polish top coat) and cure
4. If you apply finish gel from First gel you don't have sticky layer and you can proceed with making swirls with black One stroke UV painting gel. Than sprinkle micro glitter on the wet paint. Than cure for 2 mins.
 
If you applied gel polish top coat, you need to wipe off and than buff the nail plate. Than proceed with drawing swirls and sprinkling glitter. Than cure.
 
5. With dust brush remove the excess glitter.
6. Apply top coat and cure. I prefer on designs to apply non-wipe off top coat, in case you didn't cure well and might damage the design.
 
Hope you like them.
Have a try and show me your ones.... :)

2 in 1

This is again a combined post for 2 designs - simple French with silver foil ornament on the sile line, and nice pink shellac with flowers. The background is nude colour (sorry don't remember the name of the shellac gel polish)

First set was sculpted , but the second are natural nails.



Roses And Studs

My third post for today will be about two designs on my natural nails. First one is exactly what I like flowers...@ but this time the background was black not the typical nude one.






The next design is completely easy. On the second wet coat of my polish I added studs and waited to dry completely. Then finished it with Seche Vitte top coat.


Jewelry For Nails - Liquid Stones

Yes, they are liquid stones just because they were made sing builder gel mixed with glitter. On the mint coloured one is different technique. Instead glitter I used additives and then dropped gel polish top coat.



Christmas Samples

Hello!

Wow, it passed such a long time since I haven't made any posts.
Its Christmas time and all making designs in light of that festive season. I still didn't have ladies requiring them, but just to prepare myself created some new ones.
 
All are made with Bluesky gel polish and CND additives. Using black gel paint from First Gel I made some elements and sprinkled glitter and afterwards cured the nails for 2 minutes. Then brush away the excessive glitter and top coated them.

Shellac after 5 weeks

In my second post I will show you shellac nails made 5 weeks ago. Yes 5 weeks they stayed without any chipping.




Afterwards you can see what I have made for the lady today. Slightly changed the shape for her - from square to oval. Than I added liquid stones and foil ornament.


 
 
 

 

White French And Gold Foil Ornament

Good evening all,

Feeling so happy, I want to share with you what lovely French I made today. It is not my idea, just copied it from someone else.
 
Nails are covered with gel and the French made with First gel. Than I added some swirls and print foil over it.
 
 
This is a good idea for bridal manicure too.
 
How do you find it?

Dark purple, Flower & Gold foil

Good evening Ladies,

 
There I am with something new. The colour I have used before a month for another client but different decoration. Today is flower and mixed with god foil transfer.
 
  Flower was really nice but I forgot to buff the nail before drawing it,and I had to make the foil transfer therefore when buffing the nail I damaged the flower, but the client haven't noticed that. Thanks god...

These are her nails last time. I took a picture of them to show you how they are after a month. Crystals were still there even...

Tart Deco from Essie

Hello!

Winter is coming, as well as Christmas, but somehow I still like painting may nails with bright summer colours.
 
Two weeks ago I bought some new shades from Essie. One of them is this nice peach colour Tart Deco 74.
 
Essie has nice wide brush with soft bristles, really comfortable to work with. Colour has been applied in two coats and not sealed with top coat, except the accent nail, which I decorated using one stroke technique.

Red Shellac Pedicure

The last post for today is about a pedicure made with one stroke flowers over shellac, some lines and dots here and there. Just simple but cute :)

Mint Convertable and liquid stones

They are cold liquid stones, because have been made using hard gel and some glitter in. You can put some gold foil or colour gel to give some shade to the stones.

To outline the stones I have used foil transfer technique. Using black gel paint from First gel I have made lines and cured for 1 min. Then printed the foil. Forgot to say before making the lines, you need to make sure the tacky layer is removed well, buff the whole surface well, no shine...otherwise the foil will stick everywhere, but you just need to be only over the black lines.


Animal Prints

Hello!

Hope you are well.
 
After having my nails painted with plain colour for 2 months, I managed to find some time to decorate them. Its not what I usually like, but...
 
 
You need doting tool with two size ends - one small and one bigger, two colour nail polish.
 
How do you find them?

Shellac With Additives

Good morning Ladies!

 
Hope you all are well this morning.
 
In this post you can see my first attempt with additives. The result I think was good. Colours matched very well.
 
For those nails I have used my new Bluesky CS63. After applying the second coat I added with a little piece of make-up sponge additives, then cured again for a while, at last coated with top coat.

Peach Daiquiri

Peach daiquiri is one of the new nail polishes I have bought last week. It was shown design with it in my last post, but in that one you will see what I created on my own natural nails. It is simple, quick and easy to be done.

Created during first week of November

Good morning all!

 
Really quickly will show you I have done these days. The nails you will see are with gel overlay. For the first set I have used the amazing nail polish from Essie Peach daiquiri 72 & Eternal optimist 23 
 
 
On the nails coated with Eternal optimist I drew simple flowers. The following picture shows how they were before, just forgot to take a pic before removing the nail polish.
 

 
 
There is something here that I am not really got at and this is the oval shape. Lady was offered to be done gold foil ornament on the black base.  Nothing so special, just something she never had. Hope next to be not sho short with me so I can make better design for her. For the next two sets I have used shellac gel polish.
 
 Wow, there is the amazing red coloured nails with her favourite flowers for my client yesterday, made by one stroke technique.
 Here are the nails made for her last time :)

Purple & Pink

Hello all!

Had the feeling today I will do nails with crystals  and it happened. First choice of a flower on two nails have been changed to line only, but honestly is not my type of design so I offered to attach crystals.


For those nails I have used Bluesky 80547 & 80548 over uv gel natural overlay. At last sealed with non wipe off top coat and done...

Shellac in purple

Hello Lovelies,

There is something new I want to show you today. Finally a client decided to try my dark purple colour off shellac. The result was amazing.
 
 It is acrylic natural overlay, and then painted with gel polish. Accent nails have been decorated with little cute butterfly. For the design I have used acrylic paints and one stroke movement technique. After drying a while it was sealed with gel polish non wipe top coat.
 
Hope you like them :)
Take care.....
