Emerald in Gold
Today abstract and crazy manicure!
And i don't even know if i like it or not.
I used a golden foil flakes for this look, and this was actually my first experience with the foil flakes. So what i did is just using the instrument that use to correct my eye brows and chipped parts of the foils and located it randomly on the nails.
I also used Black and white liner to make some drawing to complement the foil.
I really did not figured out yet what is the way to use those flakes, but it definitely look amazing on the nails.

TWILIGHT NAILS
On these nails we wanted to do something that would go with a twilight theme. I used silver fairy dust glitter mixed with clear acrylic. I added a few of my own black stars. On the ring fingers I added a few black and silver dots with polish.
These are fimo clay turkeys on the ring fingers from kennickkreations.com
More nails I did this week.....
These are acrylic nails in hibiscus. I added fimo clay flowers and dots with polish.
These nails are done with ezflow acrylic in boogie fever. I also added little dots from cinapro and a real dried flower on the ring fingers.

Water Marble
Here is my probably the finest attempt of water marbling. I think i am starting to really learn how to do it and don't repeat mistakes. The crucial turn for me was watching Nihrida's Tutorial .
I realized that i don't have to use a lot of polish, i can only make 2 drops of polish (instead of 5-6 as i used to do) ,and having a smaller dish for water really helps too.
I also used a lip balm around my fingers and cuticle - it makes cleaning a lot easier.
I like the result, but however where is still room for improvement :) And you know what?
People who think that Konading is messy, probably nether tried water marbling - for me this experience was very super messy and extremely time consuming - i spent liek 90 minutes making this look, and after all teh cleaning arround fingers, cuticul area is atill not very clean.
Right hand
For this look i used Orly "Polo Princess as a base color" and Zoyas"Vanessa"and "Purity" for the marbles.

Dusty pink glitter extension w crystals n flowers
I did this set of nails a few weeks back and all I could say is that her nail bed is really long and her nails are really pretty too!
A sweet and relatively simple design.
♥ the length of her nails and nail bed. Nail extensions look exceptionally pretty on them.
Not forgetting the tiny cute round flowers I did for her, and to make the flowers sharp and defined, it's not as easy as it seems to be.
Took this pic from another angle. The dusty pink glitter, C curves and straight side walls can be seen more clearly here.
And lastly, the lovely thumbs. ♥

***FAIRY DUST***
On these nails I mixed a gold glitter called fairy dust that I found at Joanne's fabric store with clear acrylic. I then added more gold and hot pink stars of my own. As a finishing touch I added some gold and pink dots with polish. Click directly on the picture to get a much better close up view of these nails.
HOT LAVA STARS
On these nails I used star ribbon on the ring fingers. This cute purple color is called hot lava. I added a black star and dot at the tip of each finger. We got a little more creative and finished the nails off with polished black and white dots.
RED FALL FLOWERS
On these nails I did a fade with acom and red oak. I added red fimo clay flowers.
This is also a fade I did with abyss and black hole. I added silver dots on the ring fingers that I purchased from cinapro.
