Hello lovelies,

Today is the third day of the Nail Art Fashion Week and we take inspiration from bags, handbags and clutches. There haven't been many bags that caught my eye but I finally found one that inspired me! It is from a London-based designer Orla Kiely and her collection called Orla La which introduced a collection that looked very retro to me. It features patterns and colour combinations that I found very different from what the other designers introduced.

"Kiely was inspired by British Fifties and Sixties kitchen sink drama; The New Wave; and Northern Soul, the early Seventies British dance movement based on American soul. The designer took her initials and fused them into structured, glossy leather handbags and small leather goods. One structured, boxy bag with a gold chain featured different skins, including polished natural leather, shiny leather and crocodile." Read more about this collection and see all the pictures here.

For this nail design I've used OPI Incognito In Sausalito, OPI My Very First Knockwurst, Zoya Daisy, OPI Matte Top Coat, MoYou London PRO collection 03 stamping plate and white stamping polish. And of course I added the gold chain to the remaining nails :)

The process was quite complicated and I had to use a nail vinyl, latex barrier, stamping and painting over it so I'm not doing step by step description. But I like how the nails look with the matte top coat but this time I didn't forget to snap a picture of the glossy version! Let's compare the two:

So which version is your favourite? Matte or glossy?

Hello lovelies,

You and I have an exciting week ahead of us! Maria from So Nailicious has organised a second Nail Art Fashion Week and I'm one of the hosts! If you'd like to know more, check out the announcement post with all details and how to join!

The theme of today is Favorite fashion designer and I chose Emanuel Ungaro. I'm not a massive fashion fan and I don't follow designers unless it's for nail inspiration but I've seen some pretty awesome clothes from Emanuel Ungaro over the years. Well, this year at Paris Fashion Week, Emanuel Ungaro presented this amazing bold flowers piece and I knew instantly I want to recreate it for Nail Art Fashion Week! If you'd like to read more about this collection and see all the other clothes, visit Vogue.

This dress falls into category 'Fall 2016 Ready-to-wear' - what do you think of it? Pretty awesome, right? I love bold prints and I love a good nail art challenge so this one was perfect :)

For this nail design I've used one coat of Cirque Memento Mori, OPI Matte Top Coat, Seche Vite Top Coat, acrylic paints and nail art brushes (Pure Color #9 and Cotman watercolour brushes from local art store).

I've done matte version of this manicure and I like it so much more than the glossy one! It also triggered something and now I'm 'mattifying' every manicure :D
