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.

Merry Christmas

Hello and belated merry Christmas!

Прывітанне і спазнёныя вітанні да Калядаў!

Unfortunately I am divided from my polish collection and majority of other stuff, because I am on vacation in Belarus. I took something with me, how could I restrain from nail painting the whole holidays?
And for Christmas time and theme I had in my luggage the new creation by ASTOR with "smooth velvet effect". Good as Gold is also a suitable companion for creating a matte gradient.

На жаль, я мусіла развітацца з маёй калекцыяй лакаў і іншых прыладаў для нэйл-арту, таму што я зноў на радзіме - у Беларусі. Некаторыя прылады я ўзяла з сабой, бо як сапраўдны лакаманьяк не магла інакш. У маім багажы знайшліся прыдатныя для каляднай тэматыцы фарбы і шаблоны. Новы лак ад  ASTOR з матавым вельветавым эфектам. З залатым лакам essie (Good as Gold) я зрабіла градыент і настэмпіла залатыя зорачкі на цёмнай частцы градыенту з новых шаблонаў Банні Нэйлз.

Then I stampes with gold the stars (Bunny Nails HD-E) and with black the nativity scene on the middle finger and the rest of it on the thumb nail. The three cute magi are walking towards the nativity set on my ring and pinky fingers. All stamping images are from the new plates by Bunny Nails HD-F and HD-E.

Таксама з шаблонаў Bunny Nails HD-F і HD-E паходзяць і астатнія выявы: яслі і тры сімпатычныя мудрацы, якія крочаць да яслей па маіх безыменным і мезеным пазногцях.

Weihnachtsfeier

Junge, Junge, ich bin schon so lange dabei im Unternehmen, aber erst dieses Jahr durfte ich die Weihnachtsfeier miterleben. Da unsere Firma mächtig auf den Sparkurs geht, war dieses Mal alles bescheiden. Was mich natürlich nicht davon abhalten konnte, die Pracht von Gold und Glitzer auf meine Nägel zu bringen.
Gerade dazu passend sind die Pailletten oder sequins von der limitierten Edition "Feathers & Pearls" von Catrice. Sie bestehen aus sehr feinen runden Glitterpartikeln und aus normalgroßen Hexagonen. Es gab diese Pailletten in Gold und Schwarz.

Man, I am already that long in the company, but I was allowed to be on the Christmas Party first time this year. Because our firma is on austerity course, the party of this year was kind of modest. But I could not but create luxuriousness of gold and glitzer and on my nails.
Recently I bought some products of Limited Edition "Feather & Pearls" by catrice. Gold and black sequins are the perfect choice for the Christmas Party. They consist from very small round glitter particles and normal sized hexagons.

Dazu passend ist auch der Nagellack C05 Runnig Wild von der gleichen Serie - schwarz mit Mikroglitter.

The polish C05 Runnig Wild of the same LE series is matching the sequins. It's black with tiny silvery glitter.

Von der gleichen Serie habe ich noch C01 Flapper Style und die namengebende Perlen, die fürs Kleben am Körper, aber ich denke, es geht auch mit den Nägeln. Die Perlen sind nicht flach, daher wird die Maniküre damit so ziemlich voluminös.

I've got two other products from the series: polish C01 Flapper Style and the eponymous pearls. They are supposed to be worn on your body, but I guess they would do also on the nails. You have to keep in mind they are not flat and could easely drop away.

Aber zurück zu unseren Schafen, also Nägeln. Ich habe den Akzentnagel mit Glitz and Glamour von Orly lackiert und tauchte die Nagelspitze in die goldenen Pailletten.

But let's return to our muttons, id est nails. I've painted the accent nail with Glitz and Glamour by Orly and dipped the nail tip in the golden sequins.

Den Rest habe ich mit dem Runnig Wild lakiert und den Mittelfinger in die schwarzen Pailletten eingetunkt.

All other nails are painted with Running Wild and I dipped the middle finger nail into the black sequins, this time full nail.
