Today's nail art is inspired by the fabulous Lime Crime purple lipstick with the silver unicorn imprint.
I actually came across this idea on Instagram, originally made by @vixen_nails, and once I saw this I knew I had to recreate this design.
I actually borrowed this gorgeous lipstick from a fellow polish friend, who I must thank once again for her help, and also a huge thanks to vixen_nails for the inspiration for this nail art.

I wanted to recreate the design and make it as close to the original product as I could. I was happy to discover that one of my recent purchase, China Glaze That's Shore Bright was a great fit for this nail art, and that my Nailz Craze NC02 stamping plate was just perfect with it's unicorn and stars designs.
I was surprised to discover that in real life, the polish I used was the exact same color as the lipstick, what a perfect match!
To create this simple yet gorgeous design I applied two coats of China Glaze That's Shore Bright and stamped over it with Essie No Place Like Chrome (I preferred to use a solid silver rather than a holographic color, which I felt wouldn't give me the perfect coverage). Then sealed the design with one coat of Poshe.

I was really happy with the final look of this design, it was super easy to execute and it resembled so much to the inspiration, so for me this was a success!
Would love to hear what you think about my Lime Crime inspired design ;)

The Unicorn and the Rainbow

Hello everyone!

In this post I`ll show you one beautiful and easy to make decoration, using Nailz Craze NC 02 stamping plate.

The polishes I used are CND- Midnight Sapphire and Pefcect Holographic H4.  Both polishes are in only one coat! The same polishes used and for the stampings, only opposite to each other. Covered with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.

Hope you like it! :)

Today's design is inspired by a pastel galaxy nail art I saw a few days ago at Makeup Withdrawal post. It instantly reminded me of the Nailz Craze NC02 stamping plate that has these little sparkly stars on it, and the fact that I've been wanting to create a galaxy mani for a long time but never did it until now. So I decided to created this whimsical galaxy design with a few of my favorite pastel colors. You can see all the polishes I used for this design at the last photo.

I started this nail art with a lilac base Luci Darling 02. I applied one coat since the coverage was pretty good and I was about to layer other colors on top of it. Then I used a makeup sponge and applied light blue (Essence Sure Azure), pink (Essie Fiji) and gold (Barry M Gold Foil) polishes on the nails, tapping lightly on the nail. The first taps were a bit sheer so to achieve a deeper color I repeated this step once they dried a bit. Then I applied the gorgeous silver holographic glitter polish - Barry M Diamond Glitter, and stamped on top of it the sparkly stars stamp from Nailz Craze NC02 plate using Konad white (which was AH-mazing! First time I use this polish and stamping with it was just perfect!). On the thumbs I stamped the unicorn stamp, the whimsical part of this mani ;) I finished the design with one coat of Poshe.

I really love my whimsical galaxy nails and the unicorn is such a pretty addition to it. As it's winter time here, I could barely get these photos at a good light since it's raining all day, but I guess this will do. They sparkle much more than it shows and the colors are prettier in real life, you'll have to take my word on this one ;)

Today's mani is inspired by the amazing Lime Crime bottle and the lovely color I got from Jenna Froggy in my mystery nail polish bag. I've been in love with these pretty bottles with the gorgeous unicorn logo from the first moment I saw them around the blogosphere, and I never thought I will actually own one, so I was super excited when I got this beauty.

Inside this pretty bottle you can see this delicate ivory color, which described on their site as "cream off-white french tip nail polish". I really love this color, it's not like anything I have in my collection and it's so soft and unique.

I instantly knew that my design is going to include an unicorn stamp from my Nailz Craze plate, and it didn't took me long to come up with this idea of the golden unicorn in ivory skies.

I started with two coats of Lime Crime Milky Way, that applied two coats of Nubar 2010 which is a lovely flakie with clear base and color changing flakes. Then I stamped with Barry M Gold Foil using the Nailz Craze NC02 plate - I used the swirly clouds and the unicorn stamp. I sealed it off with my favorite quick dry top coat - Poshe.

It was really hard to catch the beauty of this design and mainly the glass flakes that are so beautiful in the sunlight and in the shade, especially when the sun didn't come out when I needed it (I actually took photos of this mani 3 times in two days, in different times of the day) but I think you can still see in this photos how lovely it came out. 

I think that my favorite photo has to be the one before last, where it looks like the unicorns' mane if on fire which is quite pretty and magical.

What do you think about this mani? What kind of design would you do with this unique color?
