Wedding nails

Here's some wedding cake/wedding dress inspired nails I did for an IG challenge, but also my first Nail Challenge Collaborative this month with the theme; A new beginning. Loved this combo of white and holo and the chunky pearl accent. This is something I could consider doing again some time.

Polishes used:
Sally Hansen - Disco Ball
Color Club - Harp On It
Gina Tricot - White

NCC presents: Glittery gradient on pastel purple

Here is my second for the Nail Challenge Collaborative with the theme purple. This time I decided to use a pastel purple, or violet color and embellish it with a holographic and silver/blue glittery gradient. I actually really liked this, even though it felt a bit unexpected. This is also the same glitter polish I used for my NYE nail art, then I used a black base and it was interesting to see the glitter on a light background.

This is the most color accurate pic of the purple.

Polishes used:
lol, this time it seems like I accidentally deleted my "polish pic" and the only one I had left was the pic with the names which I usually also take, but for my own reference. Decided to post this one anyhow. ;)
NYC - Starry Silver Glitter
Essence - A Whisper Of Spring

KIKO - 255, swatch

Here I have some archive pics of KIKO - 255. 255 is a dark rich purple shimmer with some scattered holo sparkles, it was almost a onecoater but I used 2 coats here. :)

Bought at a KIKO store for 2 euro (on sale).

NCC presents: Blue monochromatic holo stamping

Hi people, today I have a special post (sadly delayed and therefore NCC has been delayed). 

I was contacted by LadyQueen a few months back and I will review some samples from their site. What first caught my attention was the stamping plates which is from the brand HEHE. If you check the site out and find something you like you can use my 15% discount code: GHLC15

The image plate I decided for is Flower Leafs Nail Art Stamp Template Image Plate hehe006,  which has 4 images with thin and crisp lines which are easy to pick up. I can really see a whole bunch of fun designs to create with the help of this image plate in the future.

I started with a blue base and stamped a blue holo on top to create a subtle monochromatic design suiting for The Nail Challenge Collaborative Monochromatic #4. This looked really stunning irl but sadly I'm a bit unhappy with the photos since it was quite dark while I took my photos and they turned out slight out of focus (which I saw after I had removed everything). So, what do you think? :D

Closeup of hehe006. I used the top right design for my mani this time. :) Here's the direct link to it:

Smitten Polish - Girl Sprouts, swatch

It is green, holographic and from Smitten Polish, 3 positive things. ;) I bought this in a facebook group and I really like it. The color is grass green and vibrant and I used 3 simple coats. This also happens to be perfect for Green Wednesday.

And some personal update. Last week I started my regular daily reposting again, then suddenly I got the information that I was able to go an education. So with some enormous stress and hazzle I was able to get some place to live in that new town where the education is held, with distance relationship with my beloved boyfriend as a side effect.. Preparing, moving and all around took my focus..but now I've settled.. And feel that I will be able to post more regularly again. I have 3 (!) NCC posts waiting from last month coming up too (photographed, but they has to be edited first). So, that's the latest info, thanks you for reading this. :)

Holo rose stamping nail art

Today I'm showing a nail art that I'm really happy with, like enormously. I've been practicing stamping for a while and it helps to practice, I believe that I've learned a lot, so you guys who haven't tried or who are struggeling, keep trying! This might not be perfect but I'm getting there. :)

First of, I used Lakobotan's franken polish - Party Starfish which I showed HERE as a base and then stamped this floral pattern from the Born Pretty Store image plate BP-73. As a final embellishment I added a golden rhinestone bow which I've bought from ebay.

And in natural light where the shine shows:

Born Pretty Store image plate - BP-73

About the BP-73 with itemID: 20790:

The cost is $2.99 and it has well etched pattern which is easy to pick up with the stamper. (I have two stampers, both has silicone, and come in two different hardness and size).
This particular image plate has 4 small rose floral objects (matching the full size ones, giving opportunities for accent type nail art's) and four full nail patterns with a rose floral theme. Two of the full nail patterns are shorter than the other two (which annoys me a bit, I'd prefer if all four of them where of the longer size for my thumbs (which I have to double stamp when they get to my preferred length, which works but I'd prefer not to). But I guess for most people that wont be a problem, the shortest are 15 MM x 19 MM and the longest are 15 MM x 22 MM.

As usual feel free to use my 10% discount code NGL91 for items which aren't on discount already at the Born Pretty Store site.
