Mani with three purples

Hi!
Today's challenge in the FB group Adventures in Stamping is mani with three purples.
So I thought of many purples that I used to rarely and of not even used stamping plates.
And that's what came out.

As a base I painted plain white polish. The OPI Nicole Count on me is very translucent, I painted like 5 coats over white colour to get near the colour of polish in the bottle.
Then I stamped with Maybelline Colorama Lavender Lies grass and little butterflies from the Mother Nature Collection 01 by MoYou.

Oh, almost forgot, that the middle finger and thumb are stamped also with Konad purple metallic.
Then I put larger butterflies from the other MoYou plate Kitty collection 01, using violet electrique.

Then I added some glitter to butterfly wings and to the "ground".

OPI Nicole Count on me has got a blueish nuance at some angles of view.

dodo Glam Nail

Hello!
Here we are - one of the polishes I've bought in Japan. Meet dodo Glam Nail. The maker doesn't bother to give interesting names to their shades, so it has got only a number: 490.
The polish is light pink with golden shimmer. It's very translucent, I've painted three coats, and still my nails weren't covered completely.

Прывітанне!
Вось я дабралася і да выпрабавання лака, які я купіла ў час падарожжа па Японіі. Знаёмцеся,  dodo Glam Nail. Вытворца гэтага брэнду не заклапочаны выдумленнем гучных назваў для кожнага колеру, таму лак атрымаў толькі нумар 490.
Лак вельмі празрысты, светла-ружовага колеру, з вялікай колькасьцю залатога шымеру. Я бы нават казала, што колер ружова-залаты. Я нанесла тры слаі, аднак лак не здолеў цалкам закрыць пазногаць.

The other drawback is a relatively long drying time. I smudged the nails, as they were all dry in my opinion.:(

Яшчэ адзін мінус - доўгі час на прасушванне. Нават калі я была ўпэўнена, што лак мусіў быць сухім, змазала некаторыя пазногці. :(

On the positive side is the colour itself.
The shine of golden particles is seen most in the artificial light.

Да плюсаў можна аднесці колер лака.
Бліск найлепш бачны пад электрычным святлом.

I guess, the tender pink with gold may be popular among Japanese girls, because it's girly and cute.

Мяркуецца, што японскія дзяўчыны любяць такія пяшчотныя і адначасова бліскучыя колеры, таму што яны дзяўчачыя і чароўныя.

ColorShow Stripped Nudes

Hello!
After some weeks of relatively high stress in my job, I went to check on the drogery shops, andI discovered so many new releases... I just cannot keep up with buying!
Maybelline brought out the new series Stripped Nudes.
I don't know exactly, what colours are in the palette of Stripped Nudes, because they were almost all sold out. I managed to secure the two following colours: Bare it all and Bronze me up.

The nude shade has relatively good covering power: two coats are enough to cover the nail completely. It's plain colour without glitter or shimmer, and is has a glossy finish.
Glittery Bronze me up contains larger slightly curled hexagons and small glitter in the same copper colour. You have to paint some more coats (I did three or four).

And for the good company I dug out my old good Copper Cabana by Catrice, which is great colour and also stamps well. It's MoYou London Pro collection 14.

Winter Thermo

This time we were testing a thermo polish by Dance Legend. My sister was here again with her nails. The shade number 176 is lilac or purple in a "cold state". The shade is matte without any noticeable shimmer.

I stamped with essie Nothing Else Metals the swirly images from MoYou Pro 14. For the accent nail  I took white colour and MoYou Pro 06.

And if it's warm the polish turns to bright pink! 

If the air temperature is on level to keep only the free nail edge cool and you have warm hands, you get some gradient like this.

Anyway you can play with the polish by cooling and warming your hands.

Old New Year

Happy Old New Year!
In Russia, Belarus and some other countries the people can't celebrate enough! Because of the difference between the old Julian and the newer Gregorian calendar there is another opportunity to feel festive. It's not official holiday. I decided to bring more golden radiance into the day.

Віншую са Старым Новым Годам!
Для тых, хто яшчэ не стаміўся святкаваць, яшчэ адна нагода наліць келіх шампанскага і закусіць салатай аліўе ці якой іншай стравай.
А для мяне гэта яшчэ адна прычына апрануць пазногці ў раскошу цёмна-сіняга і залатога.

Essie's deep blue Midnight Cami and Good as Gold are sprinkled with the body powder haze of gold by p2.

Паверх essie Midnight Cami я распыліла залатую пудру для цела ад p2, якая была ў іх навагодняй калекцыі.

I wrote with acrylic gold paint "Старый Новый Год" and the translation "Old New Year" and stamped with Bunny Nails HD-E the celebrating people.

Каб азначыць нагоду, я напісала тонкім пэндзлікам таксама залатой акрылавай фарбай "Старый Новый Год" і пераклад на ангельскую мову - "Old New Year". На вялікім пазногці святкуюць новы год вясёлыя чалавечкі з келіхамі. Гэты матыў я ўзяла з шаблона Bunny Nails HD-E і настэмпіла яго залатым лакам таксама ад essie.

I discovered midi rings recently and here they are! It's a cute idea, still I think I wouldn't be comfortable with them at work.

Залатая пудра разляцелась па ўсёй руцэ, але каб не здавалася, што замала бліскучасці, я надзела пярсцёнкі для фалангаў і знайшла "залатую" біжутэрыю. Па-мойму, пярстёначкі для фалангаў выглядаюць чароўна, але не ведаю, ці зручна маць іх на пальцах у час працы...

Amazing Emerald Holo

As I wrote on 4th of January, I was spending my holiday money buying Dance Legend. Actually the polishes are nor that cheap for Belarusian conditions. For interesting series like holos and other effect polishes the price was at least about 7.60 € (99000 BYR). For me it was a very good deal, because buying in internet would cost more and cause shipping fee. Moreover the manufacturer doesn't sell outside Russia directly.

One of my new favorites is the emerald green holographic from the collection "New Prism":

It's number 12 and named "Android". Imagine the android mascot robot in this shade!

This time my sister provided her nail space again for my exercises on decal technique.

The accent nail is painted with light green chrome by Artdeco. The stamping image comes from the big stamping plate Dashica SdP J. I coloured it just on stamper with some other polishes.

New Year's Eve

Belated New Year's Eve mani.
First of all: Happy New Year!

While on holidays I broke a ring finger nail very badly, so this time my little sister lent me her nails.
But on my holidays not only broken nails happened, I took the opportunity to buy the interesting polishes by Dance Legend, which are sold in Belarus in shops.

One of the first purchases was the "chameleon" polish, better known as duochrome. The base colour is deep blue and it turns purple at some angle of view (look at the point and middle fingers). It's the nuance 091 Boggs.

The white accent nail was done with Yves Rocher tiny "vial" of Blanc neige.
The images on all nails except the thumb are from Sugar Bubbles New Year and Christmas plates.

And the fireworks on the thumbs are stamped with Bunny Nails festive plate HD-E. I took different metallic polished for it, because the fireworks are usually colorful. :)

My sis is holding another polish by Dance Legend, I'll write about it later.
