Quick and Easy Water Decal Manicure

Hello, 

Today i am sharing a water decal manicure. I have few water decals and i thought it been a long time since i did played with water decals. I find they are so easy and fun to work with. These decals are from Nicole Diary. I think they sent these back in 2016 and i did review them. In the post i said that i faced problem in removing the clear film from the decals but that maybe just the issue with that decal because this time i didn't face any such issue even after almost 6 years.

so lets have a look:

Color Tints Nailart

 Hello, 

Today i am sharing a manicure showing a nail art i did with polish tints. This technique is not new and i have done similar manis in past(see here). For the people who doesn't know what a tinted mani is, its a technique where you color stamped image with tinted polishes(as the name suggests these polishes have very diluted color,  something like a highlighter pen). 

To achieve the look the base should be dark and the stampin color should be white or a very light shade. You normally stamp the image on the nail and then using tinted polishes you color the stamped image.

CICI & SISI Acrylic Stamping Plate "Wedding Season" + El Corazon Magic Golden Fleece

Hello

I have been mia last week here. I did manicures but i couldn't post them. One of the reason is that i am still figuring out best time to publish the posts. Anyway, today i have a very cool stamping plate review. This is "Wedding Season" Stamping plate from CICI & SISI and this plate is cool because it is made of transparent acrylic material instead of traditional steel plates. Now on the website there are two smaller size square plates in this collection named Wedding Season 1 and Wedding Season 2. I have this one big plate because it is sample plate which is sent to bloggers/vloggers. Here's take a look:

Nail That Technique Challenge Week 2 - Syrup Gradient: Nail Art and Tutorial

Hello, 

This week's challenge prompt is Syrup Gradient. Last year, I did a manicure with this technique(see here) and I loved how easy and non messy gradient technique it is. Moreover it requires no tool as the gradient effect is created using the nail polish brush itself.

 I first saw this technique on Chalkboard Nails and saw the tutorial on Rebecca Likes Nails. I did single color gradient previously and this time i decided to go with two colors. I loved how this manicure turned out. Have a look yourself: (go till the end of the post to check out video tutorial).

El Corazon Matte n Shine 161 + Pueen 79

Hi, 

Today's post showing another El-Corazon beauty with an image stamped from new Pueen buffet(leisure) stamping plate. 

El Corazon matte n shine collection has fourteen shimmer-y polishes that dries matte. I have got couple of them and you will see me using them in my upcoming nail arts(see no. 162 here).  formula of this collection is great. Requires just a single medum coat or two thin coats to cover nail. I have a feeling that these will work as stamping polish too considering how opaque they are. I used two thin coats for the pictures and no top coat.

El Corazon Active Bio-gel "Jelly Neon" Collection Swatches

Hi,

Today I have another El Corazon collection to share. Jelly Neon collection released this year may or june .  Collection has seven polishes and as name suggests they are jelly finish neon polishes. 

These polishes are a better version of opi sheer tints in sense that these are not as sheer as them yet perfect for layering over other colors as well as can be wear on their own without any base colour. Formula of these polishes is very nice, not gloppy unlike sheer tints and smooth.
