Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter C

I bought some nail accessories form quite a while and never had the opportunity to try them. So, here is the time to put my nail chains to work. 

For letter C, I choose chains!

I used as a base polish Barry M. Magnetic Burgundy witch is a deep metallic red shade that has a slight brown undertone. I know that it is not a spring color, but these days with all the rains that we had, I think it is a perfect choice. The polish comes with a diagonal straight line magnet pattern that is very effective and strong and really work's immediately! The polish is pretty much opaque in one coat. I cut the chains on the appropriate length and added on my nails clothe to my cuticles and made an accent nail adding gold diamond shaped glitter particles and gold micro beads. I know it is a bit exaggerated and brusque at the first sight, I am not satisfied with the result, but I say it was worth to give it a try!

I am super curious what the girls from the group made, so I invite you to check all of their blog's to see their creative work with the letter C:

Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter B

Hello lovely ladies.

As you can see in the title I entered an another nail art challenge together with the girls from the T.P.A. group (The Polish Addicts), this time with the alphabet theme. We are going to post a new design inspired by a letter each Saturday. I missed last week an I decided to make everything possible to participate this time, we are at letter B. It was hard to find an original idea, first I thought to make something with a bow or birds, but than I remembered that I have a colorful bracelet and I copied the pattern from it on my nails. So, my theme with the letter B is BRACELET/BANGLE.

I used Golden Rose polishes, a beautiful golden one from the Selective Nail Lacquer collection nr. 51 and the super shinny blue one from the Paris Summer Collection nr. 212. Both polishes are really beautiful and sophisticated shades. Overall I’m very satisfied with the formula of both of them and durability. It went on smoothly and held well. I combined it with a black polish from Gabrini and finished it with the gel look top coat from Golden Rose. 

Everything is freehand, I used the brush from the polish bottles to achieve the design. I hope you like my manicure as I do, I've got many compliments for it and now I am curious about your opinion! I live you with the pictures.

Go check the blog of each talented lady that participated at this challenge, you will find a lot of great manicures!

Mix and match mani

I have so many unused polishes and this time I choose two of them in this mix and match manicure. 

One of them is the beautiful glitter polish from OPI - Nicole ME + BLUE. It's a great bright blue with scattered holo glitter and it has a bit of texture too. The formula was OK, I needed just 2 coats for a fully opaque color. I have to mention the brush which is a wide one with tapered end that helps a lot to add the polish on the nails. 

The other polish is from Boots Natural Collection - Lunar Haze. It is a shinny pink and lavender duo chrome polish, the main shade is pink but it has a really strong blue flash to it. It is super sheer and I needed 3 cots, but it didn't get totally opaque. In my opinion it can be used as a top coat too, layered on white or pastel colors!

On my pointer finger I applied Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud and applied a few dots on it. I used the MoYou London Time Traveller Plate - Back to the 70's stamping plate and added an accent nail.

I liked this combination very much. What is your opinion about it?
