Cirque French Roast sponged over Zoya Shawn + Konad m83
I upgraded my last mani a little. For this stamped design I used China Glaze - 2030 and Konad plate m83. This was really quick and easy and I looove the result! Hope you like it too. :)

Shawn Loves French Roast

Cirque French Roast sponged over Zoya Shawn
Oh. Wow. How amazing are these glittery tips? For this mani I sponged French Roast from Cirque over Zoya - Shawn. French Roast is very obviously made of awesome, it's so sparkly and complex. ♥ This week is going to be busy so I don't have much time to do my nails, but looking at this I don't even wánt to change them.

OPI - Number One Nemesis with Paisley Design

OPI Number One Nemesis + Essie School of Hard Rocks + Bundle Monster plate bm-315 and China Glaze 2030
One of the prettiest designs from Bundle Monster's new stamping plate set must be the paisley design from plate BM-315. I love it! At first I stamped this design with China Glaze - 2030 over three coats of Number One Nemesis from OPI (see picture below). I'm not crazy about the result, at most angles the paisley pattern wasn't very noticeable because of the sparkly base colour. So today I removed it and applied Number One Nemesis again with Essie - School of Hard Rocks on some accent nails. This time I used the paisley pattern only on the accent nails. Aah, much better!

Pupa - Holographic Denim Blue

At the moment I have another gorgeous shade from Pupa's Holographic collection on my nails. This is Holographic Denim Blue, a medium blue polish with prismatic particles. The prismatic effect is not as intense as the effect of the other two I own from this collection, but it's still super gorgeous. A special base coat like Nfu Oh's Aqua Base really helps intensifying the prismatic effect. The formula was ok, I used two coats, no top coat.

Silver

China Glaze Millennium + Konad m59 + silver rhinestones
I don't have the words to express how much I love Millennium from China Glaze. This metallic silver wonder is one of my most used polishes. After applying two coats I stamped a bow from Konad plate m59 with Konad Special Nail Polish in White. Then I added a couple of silver rhinestones from Born Pretty Store. I really like the result, but after a while I lost a couple rhinestones. So I repainted my ring finger nail and added two coats of B.O #71, a silver glitter polish (also from Born Pretty Store). The formula is quite thick and I noticed a lot of bubbles after applying it, this one really needs some thinner. But other than that, nice polish. I think it looks great over Millennium!

Green Gradient with JENsations - Green With Envy

Green Gradient Nails with Catrice Run Forest Run and China Glaze Holly-Day + JENsations Green With Envy
This is a nice mani for green lovers (like me!). I started with two coats of Catrice - Run Forest Run! (version 2) and I made a subtle gradient with Holly-Day from China Glaze. Then I used one of Jen's franken polish creations, Green With Envy. Jen's description: "Green With Envy is made with a 3-free base and small matte dark & light green hexagon glitter". I wouldn't call the glitter pieces matte, but they're not super reflective either (they remind me of the hexes in OPI - Pirouette My Whistle). The formula has a nice consisteny, not too thin, not too thick. I used two coats plus top coat.

You can find Green With Envy in Jen's Etsy shop. Don't forget to check out her other beautiful creations!
