Metal look

 Today I wanna show you a mani with Depend - no. 223, a lovely silver polish. I've also used it here.
It's metallic and very awesome, it gives a alienlike/robotish look.

What do you guys think about silver polish? ;)

My first sponging + more

Today I came up with this cute design but the tape I used to make straight lines ruined the polish a bit because it wasn't dry enough.
I used the lacquers from Pieces - Soul Petrol, Highland Green & Red Berries and from H&M - White

 Anyway, I ended up removing this mani quite fast and made a mani with stripes and sponging gradient.

 This is my first time to try sponging - at least on nails :b I think it went pretty well except that the neon colours on my pinkie became too dark because there were too many layers of different neon colours.

The colours I used are:
Depend - no. 34, 35, 54, 131, 133, 159, 193, 223, 247, & that green colour again where the number has been worn out
H&M - Purple
Pieces - Red Berries
Models Own - Purple Mystique
Rimmel - Lycra Pro 312 Ultra Violet, 60 Seconds 605 Purple Reign & 60 Seconds 825 Sky High
Kiko - 333
Barry M - 308 Berry Ice Cream
Tiger - no. 17
Sally Hansen - Blue Me Away!
Essie - Turquoise & Caicos
Gosh - 597 Miss Minty
Rival de Loop - 55

XL plate for me! ^^

Hurray! Today my XL plate arrived in the mail with 5 special lacquers for stamping.
Today is also the day I got summer holidays and of course that means, more time for nails. So I had to try out two new lacquers which I accidentally bought today. Oops

Depend - no. 223 and 247 which I bought today

Of course it wasn't enough to just paint my nails in different colours. I had to try my XL plate. Well, my XL stamper hasn't arrived yet so I used my small one. It's not really that good but so what, right? I can always remove it :b

When I was cleaning the plate I found it hard to remove the polish in those tiny ridges there are in some of the designs.
Does anyone have a tip for how you can clean the tiny details in stamping plates? :)

Pimping my nails

Today I felt like pimping my nails so I covered half of each nail in a different colour. I did this on top of my mani I had already.

But when I saw this tutorial I had to try that out

The lacquers I used are:
L'Oréal - Resist & Shine Titanium no. 732 and 736
Gosh - 550 Purple Heart and 593 Midnight Blue
La Femme Beauty - 34 Azure and 21 Baby Blue

They're all shimmery/chrome lacquers and one is holographic and I think they look pretty good together. The Baby Blue polish is maybe too bright with the others but when the others are all so similar you have to look a bit closely to see where the colour changes.

This is the first time I have used tape to make nail designs and I am surprised how well it works. You get the most perfect lines by using tape so I'm definitely going to do that another time.
