Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Day 13: Hearts

Bundle Monster, China Glaze, Konad, marbling, Milani, Nail Art, Nail Art A Go Go, stamping, Zoya

I was too tired to re-do my manicure last night so I am playing catch up today. I am beyond annoyed with this flare because my stamping goes out the window!!

I tried to salvage my nails by applying layers and layers of glitter 😛

 

Image

I used 2 coats of butter London Cotton Buds as my base.

I then marbled with Orly Bonder and China Glaze Caribbean Temptation.

I stamped with Konad Special Polish in Black and Bundle Monster plate BM-317.

I added a generous coat of Zoya Kissy and Milani Hot Pink to cover the poor stamping. I like how I can still see the stamping and marbling under it!

Konad, MoYou London, Nail Art, Nail Art A Go Go, Sinful Colors, stamping, Urban Outfitters

Awesome timing! I received my Konad stamping polishes in the mail today so I decided to try them out! I’m still getting used to the consistency so my stamping was not completely spot on.

The final product came out how I envisioned though so no complaints here!

 

Image

 

2 coats of Sinful Colors Chick Chick as my base.

I stamped with Konad Special Polish in Red? (I do not remember the actual name) and MoYou London plate 09 from the Pro Collection.

Dots were done with Urban Outfitters Blue Velvet.

Chanel, Milani, Nail Art

I had a hard time with this week’s challenge. I only have two green polishes that are over a year old: Milani Mint Chip and Chanel Peridot (which is not even a true green!) I think I made it work!

Is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence? I don’t think so!

2 coats of Chanel Peridot as my base.

Detailing done with China Glaze Fuchsia, Milani Mint Chip, and Urban Outfitters Blue Velvet.
