T.N.C.C. - Halloween Month #1

Hi Girls!

This month's challenge at T.N.C.C is Halloween. As usual, there will be 4 posts in the month. Here goes my first one:

Products I have used:

• Pierre Rene Sand Effect - Nr. 02
• Flormar NailArt - Nr. NA12
• Flormar Wet Look - Nr. WL08  

I have created a design with the usual Halloween colors (orange, black) but it doesn't represent any design in particular. It was only the inspiration of the moment.

T.P.A. Group Challenge: 7. Inspired by Celebrity Nails

Hi Girls!

I had big plans with this manicure, wanted to do something amazing and started google-ing celebrity nails and manicures and ... I found nothing helpful. Nothing interesting to get inspired by :-(

Products I have used:

• MIYO - Nr. 28 Grape
• Brooklin - Nr. F2 (this is in fact a neon pink polish but I couldn't capture the real color)
• Nail Studs

My "inspiration" was this picture:

NOTD - Pierre Rene Sand Effect Nr, 02

Hi Girls!

The other days I have placed my first order on www.magiq.ro. 

I have purchased 2 beautiful polishes and an acetone free nail polish remover and I got to chose a scented polish of my choice. This offer is still available at Magiq.

Today I am wearing Pierre Rene - Nr. 02, the polish from the middle. I haven't used any design today. I wanted to reserve this post simply for this polish because I am in love with it.

What I like about it in the first place is this interesting orange-red, maybe coral color, the little golden particles and the fact that it is textured!

Acid Wash Technique

Hi Girls!

There is a new technique I found the other day and couldn't stop myself from trying it: Acid Wash.

For this technique you need two or three polishes of different colors. You should apply the polishes one after the other and finally remove some coats using an ear cleaner.

Products I have used:

• Aden Cosmetics - Nr. 91
• Farmec Cllection - Pool Party

I have made it a little differently. I have applied the second layer before the first one has dried completely and by pressing the brush harder, I created this design.

It's a very easy technique, perfect if you don't want to wear a simple color on your nails, but are too lazy to do a more complicated design :-)

The Techniques Challenge - #9 One stroke

Hi Girls!

Before I say anything else, I have to say that I hate this technique. I know, it was my idea to try it... And now that I have tried it (sort of...), I am absolutely convinced that this was the first and last time I did it! I am only posting this manicure because it is part of a challenge.

Products I have used:

• Top Flex Sand Effect - Nr.02. This textured polish is fabulous. At first it looks like it is red. Than you start to see it dark orange and only then do you notice the little gold particles! I am loving it and so do the people who saw me with it today. Just to be clear, they saw it without my unfortunate one stroke attempt :-)
• Acrylic paints 

The last challenge will be Your favorite technique and will be posted on the 14th of October, 2013.

T.P.A. Group Challenge: 6. Inspired by Tattoos

Hi Girls!

I am back with a new manicure from The Polish Addict Group Challenge: Inspired by Tattoos.

Products I have used:

• Miyo Nailed it! - Nr. 28. This is my newest acquisition and I already love it. I have used it in two coats and it dried fast. I am sensitive to this characteristic of a polish :-).  You find the polish at www.magiq.ro 
• Flormar True Color - Nr. 027
• Konad image plate - Nr. m77
• Born Pretty Store - Black stamping polish

I am not that into tattoos, so my manicure is practically a stamped image. If it were to make myself a tattoo, I could imagine the leafs from the manicure on my shoulder. 

I love how this manicure turned out. I find the black - mint combination fabulous! And those dots... Sorry for being so "modest" but I really really like my nails today :-) 

The next challenge will be Inspired by Celebrity Nails and will be posted on the 12th of October, 2013.
