It's college football time!

I have a quick post for you today. I want to show you the mani I wore today to a football game. Can you guess which team I am cheering? I'll give you a hint: GO BLUE! I used Barry M Yellow, and then I stamped it with Kiko 336 (not a good idea, it is not opaque enough) and BM-301. Then I added a few dots and top coat. I had always used Seche Vite, but my supply store didn't have it the other day, so I got Poshé, I like it very much for now! Have a great rest of the weekend!

Day 23 - Inspired by a movie

I chose Cinderella as my theme for today. I found the perfect stamp on the second set of Bundle Monster: BM-213. I used Kiko 336 as my base color, then I added the high heels stamp (BM-213) and the crown (BM-08) with Konad White. Becase Cinderella was blonde I decided to place some gold glitter that I got in Brazil a few months ago. It is the first time I used it, and it was pretty easy to apply, so I will try new combinations once the challenge is over.

Day 20 - Water Marbled

This is a techique that I love, but I need to use more opaque polishes next time, because the colors look very light on this one. You can find a lot of YouTube videos to learn how to achieve this look. I used one coat of China Glaze White on White and then I used Kiko 336, China Glaze Champagne Bubbles and China Glaze White on White again. My cuticles were super dry this day and clean up is very difficult when you do water marbled nails, but I tried my best :)

Day 19 - Galaxies

My galaxy mani was a fail, I will have to find a new tecnhique or another colors. I used a lot of different polishes: China Glaze Liquid Leather, Hits Zeus, China Glaze Champagne Bubles, Impala Espelho, Kiko 336, China Glaze White on White and a white nail art pen. I first applied one coat of China Glaze Liquid Leather, another one of Hits Zeus, and then I sponged the rest of the colors and I added a few dots with the nail art pen.

Day 15 - Delicate print

I really don't know if what I did is delicate print, but I think it looks really cute, and I could use a Kiko nail polish that I was looking forward to wearing! I said a few posts ago that I didn't like the application of Kiko polishes, but I was using a different base coat. Today I used my normal one from Essie and I can clearly say that I really like them! I just needed one coat of Kiko 336 and the application was pretty easy. Then I stamped it with Konad White and BM-201. Today it was really cloudy, so I couldn't take pictures outside as I normally do, so I made my own lightbox, I hope I can improve my photos with a little more practice.
