Hello lovelies,

For today's piCture pOlish Monday I have prepared a nail art design with video tutorial using gorgeous greenish blue Tiffany (you can expect separate review next Monday).

I really like how soft and romantic these nails turned out. The pattern was a bit confusing to paint but by the time I finished the second nail I kind of got the hang of it. I've re-drawn a tutorial for it to make it much easier, it's shown at the end of the video tutorial. The original Bloom zentangle was created by Helen Williams.

I have used piCture pOlish Tiffany as a base colour and then I've painted floral zentangle pattern called Bloom with white acrylic paint. I've added a silver rhinestone from MoYou London Rhinestone wheel.

Here's how you can create this manicure:

piCture pOlish is available at their website or at many international e-shops.

Hope liked it and let me know what you think about the ideo tutorial ;) Have a nice start of the week!

Hello lovelies,

My OPI Sheer Tints have finally reached me and I'm happy to show you first half of the '10 Nail Art Ideas' post.

When I first saw the Sheer tints I though they will be useless but then I started to see all the nail art other bloggers were doing with them and I started to like the versatility. That is a big plus for me but at the same time the formula is not great. They dry so fast and start create 'strings' which makes them hard to work with and the strings might ruin your design.

The four shades are called I’m Never Amberrassed, Be Magentale with Me, Don’t Violet Me Down, I Can Teal You Like Me.

I wanted to do all 10 designs in one single post but when I realised how long the video tutorial would have to be I had to split it into two. Some of the designs are 'recycled' ideas but I was curious about how they would look with sheer tints. I tried to keep it simple because Sheer tints dry super fast and get stringy so intricate designs are hard to do. Also I often get requests for some easy designs :)

Here are the first 5 designs:

...and here's the promised tutorial ;)

Sheer Tints have been available since March 2014, at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, jcp Salons, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, ULTA and ulta.com for $9.00 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail for each nail lacquer.
