MatPed and Mani

Today, i have for you a manicure and pedicure that look completely different, despite the fact that used the same polish to make them both. And this polish is Pure Ice "Kiss me here" .
So for manicure i hand draw waves with the mirror image - and i really like the effect of chrome on gray.
And for pedicure i used Essie mate top coat over the same polish and just sicked orange dry flower. So i am not sure i like mate gray on the toes - it looks a little like dry mud :) But i am so happy i finally got my Essie "Mate about you" - this is so much fun to see what polishes looks like mated.

Heart Made of Stone"

Happy Labor day, my dear nail-art lovers!
i caled this manicure "heart made of stone" because of the beautiful matte silver that i used as base coat. I love this polish, very stony and texturised silver from color club "Dark Romance collection" . Color Cub called this polish "Smoke"
And the jewels are from Bodoir collection.

This is gel overlay on customer's natural nails. It looks simple and clean and the french lace makes it feel more girly. Ideal for everyone!


Baby pink and glitter pink gel on the tips. Did acrylic laces and huge ribbons upon her request. ;)


The huge ribbons on her thumbs. I really love the ribbons I created this time. They look like real ribbons!

Special manicure from Violet !


Today i have a guest post from Wonderful Sweet Violet.
I am a huge fan of her blog "Tales of an Ingénue"- she posts tons of super creative and beautiful outfits and nail- art ideas , and share her fairy life style. I was super pleased that she agreed to make a spacial guest post for Nail-Art World, and the manicure she made is really special for me, because as you know, i am a huge fan of fimo fruit nails and dream to have this mani myself one those days.So here are instructions and pictures. Please also check out nails that i made for her blog here
"Fimo Fruit Summer Nails:

As it's coming into Summer here in Australia I wanted to something fun and to get into the spirit of warmness. So after rooting around my nail art box for a while I came across a bag of fimo fruit that I had ordered a long time ago and never used. What better than yummy fruit to bring in the summer?

How to do it?
-Base coat a nice pink, something shimmery allow to dry.
-Dip the tips in green glitter using clear polish to hold it in place, do this twice to get a really good amount of glitter.
-press on the fimo fruit, hold in place with clear polish.
-Top coat it a bunch of times till smooth
-Admire it in the sun while sipping a nice drink by the pool!

You can't see in these photos but there is an insane amount of shine and glitter on these babies, they look really intense in the sun.

Thanks for the opportunity for this guest post I had a ball!"


HOT PINK CHEETAH

These are acrylic nails. First I added the bronze gold acrylic then I used my migi nail art pen and painted random black circles. Finally I added hot pink acrylic to the middle of the black dots. I capped the design with clear acrylic and finished with a gel top coat for extra shine! Meow!

BARBIE SMILE

These are acrylic nails with barbie pink added at the smile line.

GEL POLISH

This client of mine had acrylic nails and decided to take them off. I soaked them off and applied opi gel polish in louvre me louvre me not to her nails and toes. This gel polish is truly amazing. It lasts 2 weeks or more without chipping.
