This mani is a third or fourth take on geometric diamonds mani, this time I chose purple tones. I love how easy yet effective this design is! I have a &lt;a href=&quot;http://nailuminium.blogspot.cz/2013/12/geometric-diamonds-2-skittles-tutorial.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;tutorial&lt;/b&gt; right here&lt;/a&gt;, so you can give it a try yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The base for this design was &lt;b&gt;Nubar #loveit&lt;/b&gt; (above), and I&#39;m wearing &lt;b&gt;Rimmel 312 Ultra Violet&lt;/b&gt; on the other three (or six) nails.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4eiGPL6pRuE_BrwgcB_WvZuot-fsmaZ-hvDwcafEYL0ATyLszJU5qt2wffMlVzOmRI6d414_zO3Hdy2qU4t8fMLj_0G0IOGUS-Om530uSbN2Ct4B3jPl2GPZbWd6a6sE6KkrvxkrMP4I/s1600/levander-geometric-nails.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;514&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4eiGPL6pRuE_BrwgcB_WvZuot-fsmaZ-hvDwcafEYL0ATyLszJU5qt2wffMlVzOmRI6d414_zO3Hdy2qU4t8fMLj_0G0IOGUS-Om530uSbN2Ct4B3jPl2GPZbWd6a6sE6KkrvxkrMP4I/s1600/levander-geometric-nails.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do consider this design easy to do but it still takes so much time! So it&#39;s perfect for like one or two accent nails on each hand. I made all ten nails once and believe me, you don&#39;t want to do that if you don&#39;t have like 4 hours to waste :D.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, hope you like this and definitely let me know if you try this design, I love seeing your recreations!&lt;br /&gt;
Have a nice day! </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nailuminium.blogspot.com/feeds/3379570820143850979/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nailuminium.blogspot.com/2015/06/levander-diamonds.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7424490057224741202/posts/default/3379570820143850979'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7424490057224741202/posts/default/3379570820143850979'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nailuminium.blogspot.com/2015/06/levander-diamonds.html' title='Lavender Diamonds'/><author><name>Margee C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08597053650511433359</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTXvstu4XOy5VQzn7-2IuA0TiATulVAZgNXZAwtaUJAma4VNjsh74qZi36Yh6TaWn-1e-4oz9gXovIneBolhv1kGJj1lgCD2isFZNk2JBt0Bx1eDDWJL7ypYL8hRE0/s220/final.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdFeGLo71i6ZXjbMh-91jjMkpkj_oKguWutctODqvbmkvlC9hZB4TmbsUO_mvAYo8FjjG_qWYctIGbaSCj9FBsCeptnLoHK-uCP2A5VDn0mWOniAvXPmp6gLjuomJIkz30H-DJULfb7Ws/s72-c/violet-diamond-nails.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424490057224741202.post-1746906362495334055</id><published>2015-05-31T21:10:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2015-05-31T21:10:44.851+02:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="acrylic paint"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="chevron"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="stripes"/><title type='text'>More To Explore</title><content type='html'>Hi!&lt;br /&gt;
Today I&#39;ll be showing you a design I wore on my birthday (which was in April, yes, I&#39;m late with this :D). I chose my new favourite polish colour: &lt;b&gt;China Glaze More To Explore&lt;/b&gt;. I&#39;m not a fan of the formula, really, it&#39;s uneasy to work with. But the colour! Oh, I love it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The nail art was inspired by &lt;a href=&quot;https://instagram.com/p/1YwmebPQrK/?taken-by=martawarmuz&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;this mani&lt;/a&gt; I saw on Marta&#39;s (from&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chitchatnails.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Chit Chat Nails&lt;/a&gt;) Instagram; hers was stamped on, but when I saw it I thought it wouldn&#39;t be hard to hand paint at all. And so I did the other day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTqxCF-4kXWM-XDD6o8phU_HAD9erCRaqW7ygJou8h3BfDIsQARCpCXcOvHoVnk5ZO4zGwNxohll2P-vwLzJkpxVw0OkCQM_s7sw6mzfbR6t1vFNuyq-iybNHZset4VwNOBqMUHpR-I1A/s1600/peach-nails.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;504&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTqxCF-4kXWM-XDD6o8phU_HAD9erCRaqW7ygJou8h3BfDIsQARCpCXcOvHoVnk5ZO4zGwNxohll2P-vwLzJkpxVw0OkCQM_s7sw6mzfbR6t1vFNuyq-iybNHZset4VwNOBqMUHpR-I1A/s1600/peach-nails.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The polishes I used were&lt;b&gt; China Glaze More To Explore&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;b&gt; Rimmel 803 Man Overboard&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;b&gt; Rimmel 703 White Hot Love&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;and Essence BTGN high gloss as a top sealer.&lt;br /&gt;
For the nail art I first painted my nail white (mainly one half of it) and then I covered the other half with the peachy China Glaze. The design itself was done using black and white (for corrections) acrylic paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I loved wearing this! It was combination of my favourite things.&lt;br /&gt;
What do you think? Do you pick special manis for your b-day? (wrong question, everybody does, huh? :D )&lt;br /&gt;

The other day I remembered I love florals. I mean, I love florals on nails. And of course on clothes, but that&#39;s another story (rather another obsession :D). My colour choice was inspired by &lt;a href=&quot;https://instagram.com/p/1A69vxSJJ0/?taken-by=theillustratednail&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;this photo&lt;/a&gt; I saw over at &lt;a href=&quot;https://instagram.com/theillustratednail/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Illustrated Nail&#39;s&lt;/a&gt; Instagram - I couldn&#39;t resist using that floral combo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The base is &lt;b&gt;Nubar #loveit&lt;/b&gt;, gorgeous lavender polish I review&lt;a href=&quot;http://nailuminium.blogspot.cz/2015/01/melting-stripes-tutorial.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; &lt;b&gt;here&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The rest is acrylic paint and short thin brush. Sealed with Essence BTGN high gloss. And as I mentioned above, you can find all about the process &lt;a href=&quot;http://nailuminium.blogspot.cz/2013/11/imperiale-roses-tutorial.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m surprised I don&#39;t were florals all the time since I like them so much on my nails and I quite enjoy painting them. But somehow I much more often end up with some geometry. What is that? :D&lt;br /&gt;

So in case it wasn&#39;t obvious: I&#39;m terribly behind with posting. The design I&#39;ll be showing you today is from March. Yes, that&#39;s right.&lt;br /&gt;
I have nubbins here, since this is the nail art I wore for a skiing trip and that needs to be comfortable. For travelling I like to have nude base a colours that go with any clothes (because I have to match, it&#39;s like a disorder).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The base isn&#39;t pure polish, it&#39;s dry stroke technique with a mixture of some nude polishes (don&#39;t ask me to remember which ones, please :D ). On that base I painted some colourful shapes with acrylic paint and outlined them with black and white.&lt;br /&gt;
All sealed with Essence BTGN. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Keep reading to find out how I did this!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Process: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The base is Rimmel 703 White Hot Love, my favourite white polish.&lt;br /&gt;
To get the watercolour effect I thinned the acrylic paint with a lot of water so it actually worked like watercolour. I used round brush with a bit of the paint and very lightly stroked my nails in different directions. To get the colour thicker for highlights I added a bit of the thick acrylic paint to my watercolour paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhExgjLa-xydI0xGsADoIcEhwOO6yjgAH_5UNONwIQNAXC9MjhmiiNqEqExCebsM8HecRxcTfRNe2DZQf4xb3din2nvI1Frl_BDvnwGHMh-uBL_cKt-QqNosFNZOB_U5cUEVBacF3i7-Nc/s1600/watercolour-nails.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhExgjLa-xydI0xGsADoIcEhwOO6yjgAH_5UNONwIQNAXC9MjhmiiNqEqExCebsM8HecRxcTfRNe2DZQf4xb3din2nvI1Frl_BDvnwGHMh-uBL_cKt-QqNosFNZOB_U5cUEVBacF3i7-Nc/s1600/watercolour-nails.png&quot; height=&quot;444&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This technique has a lot of upsides, it isn&#39;t very time consuming and it&#39;s really easy to do with your non-dominant hand.&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m not the best when it comes to watercolour on paper, but I really enjoy it on nails. It&#39;s great, give it a try yourself!&lt;br /&gt;

Hey there!&lt;br /&gt;
Today is a first. First swatch post! I didn&#39;t want to do a post with swatches only, so I took some inspiration and created new nail design for this collection I was swatching.&lt;br /&gt;
It was &lt;b&gt;China Glaze Road Trip&lt;/b&gt;, which has been around for few months already, but for some reason it came to local (=Czech) distributors just about now. I got 6 shades of total 12 of the collection.&lt;br /&gt;
My &lt;i&gt;road trip nail art&lt;/i&gt; was inspired by a top I bought on my last trip. I wanted to go detailed and really stick with the fabric pattern but I failed there and went with whatever-comes-to-my-mind tribal.&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
First a bit about the &lt;b&gt;NAIL ART&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsp6E-tuA-SlDtA5v-7b3yz_8S8mwqp4YpJofvKOIKpmSY3PDXtoJNZ_aQ1_g6X0c4yN4D6Xlx8FYDEBbisW2pWv7nmRBLRTPq2Euvj6UVYLOyPmYV8mE8CtXjeLzGEkrosF9PskKt2S0/s1600/hippie-tribal-nails.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsp6E-tuA-SlDtA5v-7b3yz_8S8mwqp4YpJofvKOIKpmSY3PDXtoJNZ_aQ1_g6X0c4yN4D6Xlx8FYDEBbisW2pWv7nmRBLRTPq2Euvj6UVYLOyPmYV8mE8CtXjeLzGEkrosF9PskKt2S0/s1600/hippie-tribal-nails.jpg&quot; height=&quot;448&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-pS-fnZEWYRay3qpKq7dqZBLjcV36goZyttMr5rycEoUsGNtFI-DJOezxQT7ncTzI2wXCx6eQPfwZhhTeAmwCZk7lEDOQs7yNWZ8i0uQlpMqZmHzeBv0joCvp6VaKrKmg_3VmJN7vWKI/s1600/Hippie-Tribal-Nail-Art.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-pS-fnZEWYRay3qpKq7dqZBLjcV36goZyttMr5rycEoUsGNtFI-DJOezxQT7ncTzI2wXCx6eQPfwZhhTeAmwCZk7lEDOQs7yNWZ8i0uQlpMqZmHzeBv0joCvp6VaKrKmg_3VmJN7vWKI/s1600/Hippie-Tribal-Nail-Art.png&quot; height=&quot;564&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I used four shades from the collection, Rimmel 703 White Hot Love white and a lot of acrylic paint. I also left some &lt;i&gt;negative spaces&lt;/i&gt; as I&#39;ve wanted to try that for a while.&lt;br /&gt;
All is sealed with Essence BTGN and mattified with Essence 24/7 nail base.&lt;br /&gt;
To paint the lines and details I used the same (blue) long thin brush I always use (I might post I photo, huh). Hopefully I achieved the look I was going for. When I showed the nails to my sister, she recognised the hippie vibes... what do you think? Does it make you think of a road trip?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strike&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Now to the &lt;b&gt;SWATCHES&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
In the order I was swatching them let me present you&lt;b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://chinaglaze.com/Colour/Collections/collections_91.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;China Glaze Road Trip&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First I wasn&#39;t sure I liked the China Glaze &lt;b&gt;brush&lt;/b&gt;, but one I polished one nail, I was excited - I was able to polish whole hand without getting the polish all over my fingers (no, really, I usually tend to be messy). Sometimes I didn&#39;t even have to do any clean up!&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;b&gt;drying time&lt;/b&gt; was always good, when I finished first coat on the fifth nail, I could go back to the first for the second coat, as the first coat was dry enough. &lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;b&gt;formula&lt;/b&gt; was always rather thin it would be ridiculously easy to pool your cuticles.&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;b&gt;coverage&lt;/b&gt; was a surprise - where I expected opacity, I got jelly-ish and vice versa. However, all polishes were more or less opaque in two coats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the first is...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV-TeXPT6zhu3XVTv7KbHf65KYYXrI6uOVDglA890eLvMTF7euLPHPmtdn6rb0u2nyxiFab_YWjCbGgZ-WXXg-hRNbIRu_PLs2cu7G7mHC_Od8CYrGXB5wetnaTHPuCkS0uginBnQgEyw/s1600/China-Glaze-Trip-of-a-lime-time.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV-TeXPT6zhu3XVTv7KbHf65KYYXrI6uOVDglA890eLvMTF7euLPHPmtdn6rb0u2nyxiFab_YWjCbGgZ-WXXg-hRNbIRu_PLs2cu7G7mHC_Od8CYrGXB5wetnaTHPuCkS0uginBnQgEyw/s1600/China-Glaze-Trip-of-a-lime-time.jpg&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Trip Of A Lime Time&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It could be the formula or the fact that this was the first polish I was swatching that made the polishing super pleasant. I didn&#39;t even have to clean up here! The colour is lime green creme, probably not for everyone but I can imagine some fun retro nail art with this. This is two coats and you can see a little bit of nail line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Sun&#39;s Up Top Down&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So far I didn&#39;t have very good experience with yellow polishes but this one surprised me! It has light shimmer that didn&#39;t translate well to the photos. The formula was again thin but easy to apply and didn&#39;t make stripes. Opaque in two coats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Pop The Trunk&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m not into reds. Just no. However, when I had this one on, it felt sexy. Yes, exactly that.&lt;br /&gt;
This tomato creme colour was almost opaque after one coat. Two coats in the photo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;More To Explore&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Here comes my favourite. I loved the colour the moment I saw it. It&#39;s coral creme or bleached neon. I was disappointed by the formula though - maybe it was just me, but this polish didn&#39;t apply very evenly. It could have been opaque in two coats, but I had to add third one to smooth out the imperfections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;License &amp;amp; Registration Pls&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I am a blue polish person and I own a lot of blue polishes. I thought I already had this colour but I was happy to be proved wrong. This one is quite unique! It has sheer formula, almost jelly, but is still perfectly opaque in two coats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Uuuh, that was a long one. How did I do with my first swatching?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I must admit I thought I wouldn&#39;t like doing this, but I actually enjoyed all the polishing and comparing. For me the winner is totally More To Explore. I also have some fun ideas concerning License &amp;amp; Registration, but I&#39;m afraid it&#39;s not the kind of colour I would get to use often, no matter how much I like it. My first meeting with China Glaze polishes went very well and I can see what everybody loves about this brand now.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have you tried this collection? What are your thoughts?&lt;br /&gt;
Have a nice day!&lt;br /&gt;

I&#39;m feeling ill these days and that&#39;s the perfect time to dream and remember past cheerful days.&lt;br /&gt;
It was a month ago when we had a Venice-carnival-themed school ball. Nobody really took the carnival thing very seriously, but a lot of people brought masks - I was one of them. When I was thinking of my nail design for this event I was inspired by my dress and my mask, that I also decorated myself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The Process:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The base is Rimmel 703 White Hot Love with dry brush strokes of greys, black and white on top. The baroque pattern is freehanded with detailing brush. To add a bit of edgy feel I painted the outer edge of each nail with The New Black black polish. All sealed with Essence BTGN &lt;i&gt;high gloss&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Finally the mask and the dress AND the nails! &lt;i&gt;(desaturated, because it looks cooler)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The mask originally came all black, the white parts are my work. I painted them on with white acrylic paint and small flat brush.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So that&#39;s what happens when I get extra creative. I throw away all the studying that&#39;s on my plate and I get to painting stuff. Like masks. Or nails.&lt;br /&gt;
The mask, being all glorious and mysterious itself, had also quite mysterious ending. Long story short, I didn&#39;t find it anywhere after the ball. It is lost forever. But the few days of its existence were filled with excitement and joy.&lt;br /&gt;

I needed something subtle and classy for a formal event. I was thinking black and white, but I ended up with these, wood with ikat-ish chevron.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The Process:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To get the wooden base, I started with nude polish and then picked several shades of brown polishes and stroked the nude with almost dry brushes. You know, like the distressed technique. Then I took one of my tiny brushes and painted on the white chevron pattern with acrylic paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What I used:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Rimmel 367 Bare Necessities (base)&lt;br /&gt;
Maybelline Colorama 165&lt;br /&gt;
The New Black (the one above, and another off-white one)&lt;br /&gt;
Essence BTGN&lt;i&gt; high gloss&lt;/i&gt; top sealer&lt;br /&gt;
white acrylic paint&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAo8db7VL4DVMLv54HCWsy3BAopX5TzeRG3BXdfnHZmIs2L-5r2aI8vcbOnt8NwgiZem8jCmhmBowgFnrtIkexYwLO-K9yy16nyK7f75yc0yaSE6IRXp6h5aiyTGDr6W-OaFA-qcVPcBs/s1600/aztec-nails+(4).jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAo8db7VL4DVMLv54HCWsy3BAopX5TzeRG3BXdfnHZmIs2L-5r2aI8vcbOnt8NwgiZem8jCmhmBowgFnrtIkexYwLO-K9yy16nyK7f75yc0yaSE6IRXp6h5aiyTGDr6W-OaFA-qcVPcBs/s1600/aztec-nails+(4).jpg&quot; height=&quot;464&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m still loving the wooden look. So simple to do, yet effective, give it a try if you haven&#39;t already!&lt;br /&gt;
Have a nice day ;)&lt;br /&gt;

Sun is back! Or at least here it is :). So today I&#39;m posting a fresh spring-ish mani I did a while ago and almost forgot to post. &lt;br /&gt;
It was inspired by vector flourish pictures and nature. I originally wanted to add there some flowers too, but I liked it as simple as it was just with the green swirls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I used my detailing brush and acrylic paint. The base is as usual Rimmel White Hot Love, the top coat Essence BTGN high gloss.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When I asked on the Instagram what does the design remind them of, I got answers like poison ivy and jack and the bean stalk. I didn&#39;t realise it before, but they were totally right! To me this mani felt just super fresh and, well, flourish. &lt;br /&gt;

Hey guys!&lt;br /&gt;
I have a tutorial for you today :). I was looking forward to posting this but I didn&#39;t get to do it until now. This design was somehow inspired by &lt;a href=&quot;http://boomnails.blogspot.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Boom Nails&lt;/a&gt;, who did several similar designs earlier. I took pictures during the process so I have a &lt;b&gt;tutorial &lt;/b&gt;for you below and a short review of the base polish: &lt;b&gt;Nubar InstaChic&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;About the polish...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5JdQqVdWVE52fBMzX8-JPxfEgHGW4W7fU0ip6pANv8_hwK4N7KVgiqf8orYjM_HkmknOgcuKsWn4RArbjpDfCjE7kA-bYyVytvvDi0RntDeGKaFBZZ7FMkbBzrcbVYcaB8-EeabR1NZc/s1600/retrochic-nails+(3).png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5JdQqVdWVE52fBMzX8-JPxfEgHGW4W7fU0ip6pANv8_hwK4N7KVgiqf8orYjM_HkmknOgcuKsWn4RArbjpDfCjE7kA-bYyVytvvDi0RntDeGKaFBZZ7FMkbBzrcbVYcaB8-EeabR1NZc/s1600/retrochic-nails+(3).png&quot; height=&quot;458&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I certainly love the colour and its finish. The drying time was better than everage and I was pleasantly surpriced by its opacity; I used two coats here. Same as &lt;a href=&quot;http://nailuminium.blogspot.cz/2015/01/melting-stripes-tutorial.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the other Nubar polish&lt;/a&gt; I reviewed earlier, this one didn&#39;t last as long without chipping as for example some Rimmel polishes. And again, I don&#39;t like this Nubar brush much, it&#39;s rather difficult for me to work with.&lt;br /&gt;
Nubar claims their polishes to be&lt;i&gt; cruelty free &amp;amp; vegan friendly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;This polish was provided to me by &lt;a href=&quot;http://modelaznehtu.cz/&quot;&gt;modelaznehtu.cz&lt;/a&gt; for an honest review.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And to the tutorial...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I have a different kind of tutorial than usual, I took photos during the process so I thought I would be good to use them. It&#39;s self-explaining I would say, so just briefly: &lt;br /&gt;
1. polish your nails with some base colour&lt;br /&gt;
2. paint shapes&lt;br /&gt;
3. doodle as you wish&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Mmm, that&#39;s it for today then.&lt;br /&gt;
I enjoyed this design for its retro vibes, it was fun to paint it (give it a try ;).&lt;br /&gt;

Hey!&lt;br /&gt;
Todays design was inspired by something I was seeing around this winter, simple sweather-ish pattern. The base is &lt;b&gt;Cuccio&lt;/b&gt; polish&lt;b&gt; Sugar &amp;amp; Cream&lt;/b&gt;, a colour I would probably never buy myself, but I got the chance to try it for a review. It didn&#39;t really go well with my skin tone I think, but I surprisingly like it now, looking at the pictures.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;About the polish...&lt;br /&gt;
I used two to three coats, two were usually enough. I liked the formula and I totally loved the brush, it was just the right size. What I wasn&#39;t comfortable with was the colour, as I mentioned before.&lt;br /&gt;
It has very delicate shimmer which you can see mattified in the pictures with the design.&lt;br /&gt;

Hello!&lt;br /&gt;
I have a &lt;b&gt;tutorial &lt;/b&gt;for you today! I haven&#39;t done any in a long time so I was definitely up for doing this one when I was asked for it on the Instagram after a posted a picture of this design. The design was partly inspired by &lt;a href=&quot;http://trymyhand.blogspot.com/2013/01/notd-melting-lines-and-studs.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Try My Hand&lt;/a&gt;, talented nail blogger who stopped posting about a year ago.&lt;br /&gt;
Besides the tutorial I&#39;ll be doing a short &lt;b&gt;review&lt;/b&gt; of the &lt;b&gt;Nubar #loveit&lt;/b&gt; polish you can see below, &lt;b&gt;Polycolor&lt;/b&gt; acrylic paint and &lt;b&gt;Platinum nail art brush&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

Tutorial and my tools after the jump.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;The Process:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;1. &lt;/b&gt;Paint your nails with light nail polish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;/b&gt;Choose several colours and paint horizontal stripes. You don&#39;t need to be super precise here, you&#39;ll be &quot;melting&quot; them anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;3.&lt;/b&gt; Melt your stripes. Take tiny brush and start with the drops, the process is the same as with any other drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;/b&gt;Finish the look, correct the imperfections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;My Tools:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The base colour is &lt;b&gt;Nubar #loveit&lt;/b&gt;, gorgeous light purple from their summer collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHt1hhtm1HZ3rdnmxgthVT6B66AsnOWzRt1Dic45-7P0vzikcOYKnfTjoIEjUYewjK0vztakCnoQpUYA0Bm2FV9bbgjHaEsvz0LgwhJf8x3Vqm5eSDvyv9rT0n4BieEcwlFCSBPU6Z7EM/s1600/melting-stripes-nails+(3).png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHt1hhtm1HZ3rdnmxgthVT6B66AsnOWzRt1Dic45-7P0vzikcOYKnfTjoIEjUYewjK0vztakCnoQpUYA0Bm2FV9bbgjHaEsvz0LgwhJf8x3Vqm5eSDvyv9rT0n4BieEcwlFCSBPU6Z7EM/s1600/melting-stripes-nails+(3).png&quot; height=&quot;552&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think I used two to three coats, the opacity is better than I expected. The formula would be fine but I honestly didn&#39;t like the brush, it made the polishing rather difficult along with the formula. Or maybe it&#39;s just me.&lt;br /&gt;
I also felt like it didn&#39;t last as long without chipping as for example some Rimmel polishes. (This means like 3 days instead of 5.) I&#39;m willing to forgive this polishes some imperfections cause I totally fell in love with the way it looks on my nails! Plus Nubar claims their polishes to be&lt;i&gt; cruelty free &amp;amp; vegan friendly&lt;/i&gt; :).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The paint I used this time was &lt;b&gt;Polycolor acrylic paint&lt;/b&gt; for nail art. I was pleasantly surprised with its opacity, I had no problems painting white over black (this design really needed that!). It has great formula and it doesn&#39;t dry entirely matte. (Okay, I honestly never know what to judge when it comes to reviewing acrylics.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The brush I used is &lt;b&gt;Platinum Nail Art II. brush&lt;/b&gt;. It isn&#39;t thin enough and I might cut it down a bit in the future. But for now I wanted to try it the way it comes; I used it only for the stripes and then I switched to my detailing brush to paint the tiny drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These products were provided to me by &lt;a href=&quot;http://modelaznehtu.cz/&quot;&gt;modelaznehtu.cz&lt;/a&gt;, Czech online store with all you need for nail art and gels. I don&#39;t know how many of you are Czech or Slovak (hey, let me know in the comments, I&#39;m so curious!), but if you are, you can get a lot of great nail supplies there.&lt;br /&gt;

Still you can see little trees and tiny fish that I painted to get it at least &lt;i&gt;a little bit&lt;/i&gt; christmasy.&lt;br /&gt;The day after I painted this I left to Germany for the whole week and I didn&#39;t get to take photos with my normal camera. I had to go with my cell phone and as I didn&#39;t really have time to play around with nails, my photos are rather bad. Forgive me this time, please.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I used the dry brush technique with several colourful polishes. It looked strange when I started, but the result was pretty great. The white base was Rimmel White Hot Love and the top coat Essence BTGN high gloss as usual.&lt;br /&gt;

I even made a&lt;a href=&quot;http://nailuminium.blogspot.com/2014/01/baroque-wallpaper-tutorial.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; tutorial&lt;/a&gt; for them! And today I&#39;m showing you a new version of my baroque design. I used it just as an accent nail, it was a busy week but I still wanted special nails.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I don&#39;t have the best photos this time, I couldn&#39;t get good light in this winter weather.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To get the tiny details I used the long brush above, I usually use it as a striper, but I found out it is great for details too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What I used:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Rimmel 367 Bare Necessities&lt;br /&gt;
The New Black dark purple&lt;br /&gt;
Essence BTGN top sealer &lt;i&gt;high gloss&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
acrylic paint&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I had no idea what to call this design. I did it a while ago for a mani swap with talented &lt;a href=&quot;http://instagram.com/swiftpolish&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Swiftpolish&lt;/a&gt; (picture of the swap at the end of this post) and I got a lot of positive reactions - and I also liked it very much myself.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The Process: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I started with white base, Rimmel 703 White Hot Love. &lt;br /&gt;
Then I used longer brush and acrylic paint to paint the colourful stripy part. I added some black stripes to have more contrast.&lt;br /&gt;
I outlined the black part and then I filled it with black polish.&lt;br /&gt;
I sealed it with Essence BTGN high gloss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

As an extra something I added a halfmoon to my thumb, I felt like it would suit it better.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;The Process:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1. Paint your nails white.&lt;br /&gt;2. Start with red dots.&lt;br /&gt;3. Add green stem and leaves.&lt;br /&gt;
4. Add highlights. White dots to the cherries, dark and light green strokes to the leaves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What I used:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For the red dots I used a toothpick, then for the green lines and leaves the detailing brush above.&lt;br /&gt;
The white base is Rimmel 703 White Hot Love, the colours are acrylics.&lt;br /&gt;As a base coat I used Essence BTGN &lt;i&gt;high gloss&lt;/i&gt; and then Essence 24/7 matte polish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Today&#39;s mani was inspired by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.emilydenisephotography.com/blog/?p=5228&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Very Emily&lt;/a&gt;, one of my favourite nail artists. It&#39;s all freehand and all Rimmel and acrylics. I loved this surprising colour combo and I knew I would recreate the mani the moment I saw it. For the tribal-ish design, I started with white base, made teal and violet chevron stripes and finished it with black tribal details.&lt;br /&gt;

The last photo is from my IG, my nails next to my inspiration.&lt;br /&gt;
I love wearing this and I took it off after more than a week. I tend to wear my manis for so long these days! And then I&#39;m not as productive as I used to be, oh yes.&lt;br /&gt;

Finally. I&#39;m back home from the USA, the trip was awesome but I didn&#39;t have time to do my nails or to blog, so I ended up wearing this halloween mani for 14 days (!!). Minor chips occurred but I was pleasantly surprised how long it could last. I&#39;m also a bit late with posting this (a bit? haha, 10 days), as it was meant for halloween.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;These nails were inspired by &lt;a href=&quot;http://nailuminium.blogspot.cz/2013/12/christmas-tribal-tutorial.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Christmas Tribal&lt;/a&gt; (tutorial included!) I did last year. I wanted to wear something intricate for such a long trip.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A lot of detail takes a lot of patience and good brushes. The brushes I used are from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bornprettystore.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Born Pretty Store&lt;/a&gt;. I used the first one from the left for all the thicker lines, the middle one for details and the last one for thin lines. (Check out my &lt;a href=&quot;http://nailuminium.blogspot.cz/2014/09/bp-store-review-brushes-acrylic-paint.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;brush review&lt;/a&gt;.) &lt;br /&gt;

The white base is Rimmel 703 White Hot Love, top coat Essence BTGN &lt;i&gt;high gloss &lt;/i&gt;and the rest are acrylics.&lt;br /&gt;

This one above is from Virginia Beach, we had perfect weather! What you see is the design on the sixth day of wearing. Yes.

Hi!&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m so behind with posting! I&#39;m ashamed, but I&#39;ll be busy travelling during next few weeks so it probably won&#39;t get better any time soon. If you want to follow my most recent designs, be sure to check my &lt;a href=&quot;http://instagram.com/nailuminium&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; ;) Let&#39;s have a look at todays design:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheUp9DXwNivBiXQ5KiogrHi1HTYiLNZQww96dmRQOg8aDHTIQaK1gMFXnubOkf6iczGRwmiXiusDzAHL4fKBzVwVttQHj3ZX-REj5jmKZSThZkWb8vdehM7AWASrTGzwj2g93dV6TJIr0/s1600/metallic-nails+(3).png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheUp9DXwNivBiXQ5KiogrHi1HTYiLNZQww96dmRQOg8aDHTIQaK1gMFXnubOkf6iczGRwmiXiusDzAHL4fKBzVwVttQHj3ZX-REj5jmKZSThZkWb8vdehM7AWASrTGzwj2g93dV6TJIr0/s1600/metallic-nails+(3).png&quot; height=&quot;442&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wanted to use black and white acrylic paint and I also wanted to try this silver The New Black polish. I ended up with quite out-of-my-comfort-zone design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8cBhrhRuvrl1waFg68yWHc18hdYScWXnNHlHoudAiHxEiMK0U7UaFciwcm-qye78YT1kCEy5AJq1j4_Yh7kA0nA7c5dsy0YKT7juJbyt67qTW-DociivFlbgAMZdwLHymd1IgPlBMHcI/s1600/metallic-nails+(1).png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8cBhrhRuvrl1waFg68yWHc18hdYScWXnNHlHoudAiHxEiMK0U7UaFciwcm-qye78YT1kCEy5AJq1j4_Yh7kA0nA7c5dsy0YKT7juJbyt67qTW-DociivFlbgAMZdwLHymd1IgPlBMHcI/s1600/metallic-nails+(1).png&quot; height=&quot;466&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I started with the black thick lines and then I added the white ones.&lt;br /&gt;
I used this cut-down brush above from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bornprettystore.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Born Pretty Store&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://nailuminium.blogspot.cz/2014/09/bp-store-review-brushes-acrylic-paint.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;review here&lt;/a&gt;) and put a matte top coat on top.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A short one today, I need to go now to do some preparing for my trip to the US! Oh yes, and I&#39;m really excited as I have never left Europe before.&lt;br /&gt;
Take care you all!&lt;br /&gt;

The task was to create ultimate celebration mani, you can find out more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nailpolis.com/contests/million&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. It sounded fun, so I decided to come up with something too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAeRCXVobwESGiIt2J-jUb99rU9-5rqolYKcZy_V_JIn-lCCLCqPUIkPX6yzQaPzrWmXamaBgUhVc2f29XLrkX2cPC97PphhC0jOn-UMQMNrqHXjw88c5w3I1_TsGJFn2Xewa_VmcJsbE/s1600/party-nails+(1).jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAeRCXVobwESGiIt2J-jUb99rU9-5rqolYKcZy_V_JIn-lCCLCqPUIkPX6yzQaPzrWmXamaBgUhVc2f29XLrkX2cPC97PphhC0jOn-UMQMNrqHXjw88c5w3I1_TsGJFn2Xewa_VmcJsbE/s1600/party-nails+(1).jpg&quot; height=&quot;496&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And you know what? I won! :)&lt;br /&gt;
There were three winners and I was lucky enough to be one of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;And yes, I&#39;m terribly late with posting this, I have no excuse. Sorry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdB00VXyfySUg2Dwh_9QjB2gs3N992ejFTmtiEjeDj4P7nT4cwTiPoEt5aNw69oQy7_x0iWyzUUyvj07qEDrZgbUHynXO1C8-xAm4AMu79ftu_S0kq3WBZq6P1ZOpp3orXchfZbRnHMeI/s1600/baloons-nails+(1).png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdB00VXyfySUg2Dwh_9QjB2gs3N992ejFTmtiEjeDj4P7nT4cwTiPoEt5aNw69oQy7_x0iWyzUUyvj07qEDrZgbUHynXO1C8-xAm4AMu79ftu_S0kq3WBZq6P1ZOpp3orXchfZbRnHMeI/s1600/baloons-nails+(1).png&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The base is Rimmel 703 White Hot Love, I painted the waterfall lines using acrylics and thin liner brush, then I went over it with a detailing brush and black acrylic paint and I created those balloons and bunting. The celebration nails were born. I added a reference to the Nailpolis celebration on my thumb so everybody knows what these nails are celebrating. At the end I put a layer of matte top coat over it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The last task was to take good photos and pick one of them. Now you can see this design in the cover photo of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/nailpolis?fref=ts&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Nailpolis&#39; facebook&lt;/a&gt; page (or in the history of cover photos, if it&#39;s not there anymore when you&#39;re reading this).&lt;br /&gt;Take care, lovelies!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.: I&#39;m doing a guest post for &lt;a href=&quot;http://nerdyfleurty.blogspot.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Nerdy &amp;amp; Fleurty&lt;/a&gt; on Wednesday, make sure to check that out!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nailuminium.blogspot.com/feeds/38644246293818171/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nailuminium.blogspot.com/2014/10/celebration-nails.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7424490057224741202/posts/default/38644246293818171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7424490057224741202/posts/default/38644246293818171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nailuminium.blogspot.com/2014/10/celebration-nails.html' title='Celebration Nails'/><author><name>Margee C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08597053650511433359</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTXvstu4XOy5VQzn7-2IuA0TiATulVAZgNXZAwtaUJAma4VNjsh74qZi36Yh6TaWn-1e-4oz9gXovIneBolhv1kGJj1lgCD2isFZNk2JBt0Bx1eDDWJL7ypYL8hRE0/s220/final.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAeRCXVobwESGiIt2J-jUb99rU9-5rqolYKcZy_V_JIn-lCCLCqPUIkPX6yzQaPzrWmXamaBgUhVc2f29XLrkX2cPC97PphhC0jOn-UMQMNrqHXjw88c5w3I1_TsGJFn2Xewa_VmcJsbE/s72-c/party-nails+(1).jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424490057224741202.post-5210357676073561179</id><published>2014-09-28T15:28:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2014-09-28T15:28:52.854+02:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="acrylic paint"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="swirls"/><title type='text'>Sky High</title><content type='html'>Hello!&lt;br /&gt;

Today&#39;s design was supposed to look completely different&lt;i&gt;. &lt;/i&gt;I was actually going for abstract geometric kind of design, but it went wrong at the beginning and I painted some swirls instead. So here I am posting another Van-Gogh-ish mani, another swirls, cause I love them so much. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I started with white Rimmel 703 White Hot Love base, then I put on few (at the end invisible) stripes of blue and yellow polish, as this was intended to be an abstract geometric design. Then I took a tiny brush and tried to follow my geometric idea. After a moment I realised I&#39;m painting swirls. There was no way back.&lt;br /&gt;

I&#39;m a student and I have a part-time job in a cafe as a waitress and during the week I was wearing these, we had sort of barista lesson, I was learning how to do cappuccinos with latte art and stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I got the inspiration from a painting I saw in my Art class in school, it looked very similar, but in red.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The polish I used as a base was gorgeous blue The New Black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;...and this is how it looked in the middle of the process. I painted the rounds first and then I added the stripes.&lt;br /&gt;

I sat down the other day to paint my nails without anything specific on my mind. I got to painting and I ended up with popular geometric pattern, or, whatever you want to call it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Tutorial after the jump!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Sooo... The real reason why I made a tutorial for this mani was that I installed Inkscape, vector graphics editor, into my computer and I couldn&#39;t wait to try it. The result is exactly the same as before, but the process should be easier from now on. Also I was told that using MS PowerPoint for vector graphics is bullshit and that I HAVE TO switch to something proper. So I did.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzknlUW0ehBOzpisw9_tdV25Er97sLgvxYHO6c7AbR99wWw_Edaakfv9aKLejsd3OKLAk8JcIyU_yMpZw-k4ElayKmitoE-zS45YQReR1P7fpa0NLTx8Y2QJP0iDFuluRICiaWR7qp5Sk/s1600/tuto.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzknlUW0ehBOzpisw9_tdV25Er97sLgvxYHO6c7AbR99wWw_Edaakfv9aKLejsd3OKLAk8JcIyU_yMpZw-k4ElayKmitoE-zS45YQReR1P7fpa0NLTx8Y2QJP0iDFuluRICiaWR7qp5Sk/s1600/tuto.png&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I guess the process is quite obvious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgErGw6SXkTcahzf9LHRQgm8LMVaQKjvfD8JCxIZoznrmeKll79MlEP6wYULJtmJDmQ7jilccss0CCgV1skX8xcrW6NhSzFL1AgxeAF2a26XhjZl-TbjPot-MDKtteQsLGKIHW1zpUZxxo/s1600/blue-nails+(4).png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgErGw6SXkTcahzf9LHRQgm8LMVaQKjvfD8JCxIZoznrmeKll79MlEP6wYULJtmJDmQ7jilccss0CCgV1skX8xcrW6NhSzFL1AgxeAF2a26XhjZl-TbjPot-MDKtteQsLGKIHW1zpUZxxo/s1600/blue-nails+(4).png&quot; height=&quot;554&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What I used:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The New Black blue polish (above)&lt;br /&gt;
acrylic paint&lt;br /&gt;

What do you think? And by the way, what are your favourite photo editors? And what about vector graphics?&lt;br /&gt;

Hi!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
After I did the first &lt;a href=&quot;http://nailuminium.blogspot.com/2014/07/bp-store-review-nail-art-wheel-brushes.html&quot;&gt;Born Pretty Brush Kit review&lt;/a&gt; I realised I didn&#39;t have many detailing brushes. So I got some...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Jove_IUO74U2Ak94QoebbpxcaFTJ1lnvjKj0lhspQxiFPeccs0Zfdr9Sa-rIUn2V9zAA8AfcFVXsH00FBM99KG_rUXJt7OBCZHf221YiaVdMZu7hEtLiMLEJDkhyD-pT2rHr_62e_Xs/s1600/bps-brush-kit-review+(3).png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Jove_IUO74U2Ak94QoebbpxcaFTJ1lnvjKj0lhspQxiFPeccs0Zfdr9Sa-rIUn2V9zAA8AfcFVXsH00FBM99KG_rUXJt7OBCZHf221YiaVdMZu7hEtLiMLEJDkhyD-pT2rHr_62e_Xs/s1600/bps-brush-kit-review+(3).png&quot; height=&quot;584&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I painted these nail art wheel nails and then I trimmed the brushes down, they are thin, but I prefer thinner. Keep reading for a closer looks and some more about the paint I use.&lt;/div&gt;

Before trimming it took a lot of patience to use them, I&#39;m really used to thinner brushes, but I guess that&#39;s just me, since Celine loved them so much!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
The kit contains 4 brushes of different sizes and different colours, which is something a really appreciate, it&#39;s easier for me to find the one I want to use in the moment, if you know what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;

I don&#39;t have many designs painted with these to show you, but I did some on my nail art wheel also using acrylic paint from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bornprettystore.com/&quot;&gt;Born Pretty&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If you use acrylic paint as well, you probably know how fast you run out of these two colors - black and white. After I finished those from my acrylic paint set I bought some new in local craft store but I was curious about the paint they have in BPS. This means I have tried three brands so far.&lt;br /&gt;
I love this black, it was perfectly opaque, I wasn&#39;t so excited about the white, it&#39;s as good as the one I have from local craft store, I would expect it more opaque, but as you can see in the photos it&#39;s opaque enough. There is nothing I could complain about otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;
