Color Club - "Wild at Heart"

I decided to first make a swatches of the fall collection presented by color club - "Wild at heart". Those color are so wild and super beautiful, that i can't resist not to try them all on first. Each of polishes is unique in its own way, and a s a design expert - they all are perfect for nail designs both - as a base color and as a design color too, and i am sure that you ll be super pleased with the nail-art work that i ll make with Color Clubs. But first lets take a look at those beauties.

"Wild and Willing" - is a light natural beige with holographic sparkle . I am personally not a fan of beige's - but this one is definitely one of the most pleasant beige that i have seen. Will amke a perfect base color for designs. 2 coats pictures

"Love'em - Leave'em" - Holographic Goldie - sparkle and very very eye catching. This color is absolutely amazing. i would say that it is more like rose gold color. 3 coats pictures.



"Rule Breaker" - This is super intense holo sparkle purple - a pure energy on you nails. Works very good for stamping and as a base color. The holographic sparkle differ significantly from anything i have ever seen. It does not require special light to actually see the beauty of holo, in contrast - it sparkle in any light - and this makes me just fall in love with the fall collection from Color Club

"Wild at Heart" - pearly Grey, with the touch of rainy sky. Super adorable, and also works very well for stamping. Dark grays is another big trend this fall, and this polish is a must have. 2 coats


"With Abandon" - you can not abandon this irresistible emerald Perl cream. Dark greens is a nice trend this fall - but this shade is very special and perl finish makes it look just magnificent.
This may be my favorite shade from all the collection. But it is really hard to say, because i love all the colors. 2 coats

"On the Wild Side" - this color drives me seriously wild - it is black with the gold includes in it - looks very rich and special. Not that many polishes on the market can deliver this special effect.However would be nice if color was more intense - it took me 4 coats to get the look on the pictures


In conclusion, i would say that "Wild at Heart" - is a collection of super trendy and special shades that complimented with the outstanding quality of Color club professional lacquers. Easy to control formula - make application of those polishes just a piece of cake. And i am personally in love with all the collection - all shades are super beautiful.

Sunny Blossoms

A happy and cheery set of nails perfect for summer!
Nail art from Nail Max. Did a slight modification to the colours and flowers.
The flowers may look pretty simple, but it took me quite awhile to get them done. Especially when I have to squeeze 2 flowers on each nail and it's pretty hard to squeeze them in the pinkie and ring fingers. But still, I enjoy the process of creating them and chatting with my customer.

The close up. The hand drawn checkered lines, flowers and crystals. The thumbs have the same design as the ring finger. Notice that the color on the ring finger is lighter? It's my favourite summer shade ever! Pastel milky yellow. (OPI - Banana Bandanna)

CREATIVE FLOW

These nails are a creative collaboration between my client and her split personality! Ha, ha just kidding. I'm only saying that because I know this client can take a joke and hey I'm just trying to give her a taste of her own medicine. The nails did turn out quite cute with lots of fun personality.

WEDDING BELLS

These are nails that I did for a wedding. I used art glitter in polar bear and mixed it with clear acrylic. The little flowers I purchased at Sally's Beauty Supply. I added the little white dots with nail polish.

Vacation Mani 2

As i promised here is the second Mani i made when i was on vacations - this one also lived a day :) But what day... oh that was a good day spent snorkeling and drinking "sex on the beach" all day long. By the way, i had troubles remember the word "snorkeling" - so i just called it "crocodiling" :)


This is my sweet Marshal - he is growing and he is such a beautiful and cool cat!!! I nether had a cat like this - all my previous cats were evel and didnt like to be petted. So far marshal is very social - he likes to be arround people all the time, and he is a "lap-cat" - because he really likes to seat and sleep on laps and hands and to be carryed arround. And hes nick name so far is "Orange Chicken" - because this is my favorite thing from Panda lol and because he is super orange.

YEE HAW!

These are country nails! I put little fimo clay horseshoes, cowboy boots and horses on them. I added brown glitter acrylic on the tip and finished with polished white dots around the smile line. Now all they need is some wranglers, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat! Yee haw!

Flowers, petals and crystals... (bridal style)


I love this unique nail polish color. It has speckles of pink and red in it which is only visible if you look at it closely. And it's a opaque sandy pink color. Pretty!

This is ideal for brides as well.


A close up on the thumbs. ;)
