CND Pink Wishes Effects - three different ways

I got a lot of requests from you, my lovely readers, lately. I just wanted to let you know that I am working on them, so please be patient with me :) You also wanted to see the new CND effect (my swatches of the whole set here) on darker colours. For this post I chose a simple black creme to show you how the Pink Wishes Effects looks. I used just one coat here. As you can see it looks more purple than pink. It is quite similar to the Violet Shimmer Effect.

I wanted to play with this a bit more so I reached for my Konad...which I haven´t used for ages! My favourite plate M63 is used here. I loved the way this looked. It doesn't scream I stamped my nails but is very pretty.

And instead of putting a classic glossy top coat on top, I reached for a mattifying top coat from ManGlaze called Matte-Astrophe. This is my favourite of all these three looks. I love it and I am wearing it as a full mani now :)

So what do you think of Pink Wishes over black? Do you like it or is it better as a very subtle shimmer on a light pink creme?

Zoya Lisa with Konad

When was the last time I showed you some Konad? I think it was ages ago :( I actually think that I did my last konad mani in summer. So to make up for it I did a quick and simple stamping over Zoya Lisa which I already had on for two days. I have to say one thing about Lisa (and the whole Flame Collection). I LOVE it. I think I have to buy a lot of back ups :)

My 4th Of July Nails

I am sure you are asking yourself why am I doing this when I am not from the US :) well, just for fun and because I was asked to by a friend of mine. I used my Konad image plate M45 and again, didn´t use the image on the tips but a bit differently. I don´t have any konad special polish, so this was just with normal polish. Could have been better :)

My new dress

Whenever I buy new clothes, the first thing that comes on my mind is...do I have a polish to match? Same with my new dress. I bought it for summer and it has three colors, black, white and a mint green or a turquoise. Call it what you want :) I was thinking what mani would best match with it and came with this:

Here is the mani with a detail of the dress. The color of the polish is not 100% same as the dress but still very close. I love this mani. I used:

Color Club Black

Misa Heaven White

Orly Gumdrop

Something for spring..

Hello my dear readers, today I have for you a fresh spring mani. It is very simple but I like the way it looks. As a base I used Ciaté Refresher and added some flowers using Konad and China Glaze Adore. I like the combination of a creme with a metallic :)

China Glaze Custom Kicks with Konad

How was your weekend? My todays mani is China Glaze Custom Kicks with golden stamping from plate M78 to coordinate with the golden shimmer in this polish. The color brings back memories of last summer, I wore this color a lot. It has been raining in my country for such a long time now, I need the sun so much .) I run on solar power only!

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy with Konad

It is raining outside and it will for another week, that sucks! I decided that I need a mani to cheer me up and the choice was Flip Flop Fantasy from the Poolside collection. This color is really so much fun, it is so positive :) Black konad looks great over these bright colors, so I went for something simple and summery. Image from plate m28. Oh and guess where China Glaze is from? Yes, California!

China Glaze Rodeo Fanatic with Konad

I can´t wait any longer, so I tried my new Konad plates. I won them from Mary and wanted to take a picture with everything else, but looks like all is lost :( So today I have for you a mani with plate m37. Simple light blue flowers on a darker base.

Už to déle nevydržím a musím vyzkoušet svoje nové konad destičky. Vyhrála jsem je u Mary a chtěla vyfotit všechny ceny až přijdou dohromady, ale vypadá to, že všechno ostatní se ztratilo :( Takže dneska jsem razítkovala s destičkou m37. Jednoduchý vzor světle modrých kytiček na tmavě modrém podkladu.

Chanel inspired...

I really like the look that Chanel came up with in their new collection NOIR ET OR Paris-Shanghai. Golden nails with black tips, wow just gorgeous for summer. Having my finances and skills limited, I tried to do my own version of this mani. I used China Glaze 2030 (one coat) and Konad plate M 45 :) Hope you like it and have a great weekend!

Moc se mi líbí look nové Chanel kolekce NOIR ET OR Paris-Shanghai. Zlaté nehty s černými špičkami, na léto dokonalé. Vzhledem k mým omezeným finančním možnostem a (ne)šikovnosti jsem si udělala svoji vlastní verzi. Použila jsem China Glaze 2030 a Konad destičku M 45. Snad se líbí a užijte si všichni víkend!

China Glaze Towel Boy Toy with Konad

Towel Boy Toy is my favourite from the newly released Poolside collection (my swatches here). I thought it would be fun to decorate it with some Konad. I also really wanted to try out the new Konad plates, so this is M78. I really like the way it looks like :)

Towel Boy Toy je mým oblíbencem z nové Poolside kolekce (fotky celé kolekce zde). Napadlo mě ozdobit ho razítkováním, hlavně už jsem chtěla vyzkoušet nové destičky. Použila jsem tedy M78. Výsledek je super, moc se mi líbí :)

Sweet Butterflies

Hello dear readers! How is your Sunday? :) Today I made another of mine jewellery inspired manis. I used Orly Gumdrop as a base. I really fell in love with Gumdrop, can´t believe I wouldn´t buy this myself....what a fool! For the Konad design I used plate M50 and Color Club Black (I know Silver would look better, but I wanted the stamping to stand out a bit more). I hope you like it :)

Zdravím své čtenáře, jakou máte neděli? :) Dnes vám chci ukázat další nehtíky inspirované šperky. Jako základ posloužil Orly Gumdrop. Mimochodem vůbec se nechápu. Normálně bych si takový lak nikdy nekoupila...když ho ale teď mám, tak jsem z něj nadšená! Na Konad razítka jsem použila destičku M50 a Color Club Black (určitě by se víc hodil stříbrný lak, ale chtěla jsem aby to blo trošku výraznější). Doufám, že se líbí :)

Orly It´s Up To Blue with Konad

Today´s post is a continuation of yesterday´s turquoise eyeshadow post. I have a really nice belt, that is turquouise and also has purple in it. So I tried to do a matching mani :) I used my favourite Orly polish as a base (I only have the mini version and I MUST get the normal size) and for stamping I used China Glaze Harmony and Konad plate M64. I love it!

Dnešní příspěvek navazuje na včerejší tyrkysovou vlnu. Minulé léto jsem si koupila moc hezký pásek, který je tyrkysový, částečně prošívaný fialovou. Zkusila jsem teda udělat podobné nehtíky :) Jako základ jsem použila svůj nejoblíbenější lak od Orly (mám ho jen v mini verzi, takže si MUSÍM koupit plnou velikost) a na razítkování China Glaze Harmony a Konad destičku M64. Moc se mi výsledek líbí!

Violet Girly Nails

Hi to all the nail polish lovers out there. Today I came to ask for your help :) I love doing manis that coordinate with something that I wear. I have this nice violet top, but no polish in the same color. Tell me your ideas! It would be perfect if the polish would be opaque in two coats...well you know me and how lazy I am. Before I find the perfect polish, here is just a quick attempt, but not a very good one (China Glaze Light As Air, Konad plate M71). And thank you for your ideas :)

Dneska budu od vás, milovnic laků na nehty, potřebovat pomoc :) Občas ráda sladím oblečení nebo třeba šperky s lakem na nehty. Mám tenhle světle fialkový topík, ale nemám k němu odpovídající lak. Nějaké nápady? Nejlépe krycí ve dvou vrstvách...vždyť víte, jak jsem líná. Než najdu ten správný lak, tak malá ukázka snahy...moc se mi to ale nepovedlo (China Glaze Light As Air, Konad destička M71). Předem děkuju za všechny vaše nápady :)

Color Club Emerald Depths and Butterflies!

This post is going to be picture heavy, but this polish deserves it. Emerald Depths is in my Top 3! I just love it :) It is just the perfect turquoise and works great with my skin. I tried to do some butterfly konad using plate M53. I also wanted to show you a beautiful ring from Pilgrim that I have and love to wear :)

V dnešním příspěvku je spousta fotek, ale tenhle lak si zaslouží prostor. Emerald Depths patří do mojí Top 3, miluju tenhle lak :) Dokonalá tyrkysová. Trošku jsem ho ozdobila motýlky z destičky M53. Když už jsme u těch motýlků, tak se pochlubím Pilgrim prstýnkem, který jsem si teď hodně oblíbila :)

Fail :(

I wanted to do a mani to coordinate with my new skirt. I really like the way the colors work together but this time my stamping was very poor :(

Chtěla jsme si udělat nehítky, které by ladily s mojí novou sukní. Výběr barviček a to, jak spolu vypadají se mo moc líbil, ale moje razítkování se tentokrát ůbec nepovedlo :(

China Glaze Light As Air with Konad

Just a quick post about my todays mani. I used plate M50. I am really starting to like it and it has become one of my favourites :) The black polish is Color Club Black again. What do you think?

Jen vám sem rychle hodím moje dnešní nehtíky. Opět jsme použila destičku M50, kterou jsem si moc oblíbila a zařadila ji mezi favority :) 4erný lak je opět Color Club Black. Tak co myslíte?

ManGlaze Week Day 3: Nail Art with Matte-Astrophe

Today I have some nail art for you. I started with China Glaze Joy as a base and then layered with Color Club Wild and Willing. This polish is really special, just look at the effect. Then I stamped with China Glaze Joy and image plate M63. At the end I put Matte-Astrophy. This time it didn´t cracle. How do you like this? :)

Dnes pro vás mám nějaký ten nail art. Jako základ jsem použila China Glaze Joy a na něj jsem dala jednu vrstvu Color Club Wild and Willing. Tenhle lak je opravdu výjimečný, jen se podívejte na to, jaký dělá efekt. Dneska jsem ale řádila ještě víc a orazítkovala zase China Glaze Joy a destičkou M63. Nakonec jsem ještě přidala Matte-Astrophy, který tentokrát nepopraskal. Jak se vám to líbí? :)
