Hello lovelies,

I love colourful manicures and this one is just spot on! It's a rainbow sponge gradient finished off with black lace foil.

Firstly I've painted my nails with OPI Alpine snow which makes the colours nice an vivid. Then I've used a corner of a makeup sponge to apply following polishes: China Glaze Sunshine Pop, China Glaze For Audrey, OPI Dutch 'Ya Just Love OPI?, China Glaze Dance Baby, China Glaze Poinsettia. I purposely went for a grainy look otherwise I would paint stripes of colours on the sponge to achieve more blended look. I've sealed the colours with a coat of Seche Vite topcoat.

When it all dried I've applied a thin layer of foil glue and let it dry. Then I applied a black lace pattern foil (I got mine from Rio Beauty) and sealed again with topcoat. Lace foils are a bit problematic as sometimes they don't stick properly. I found the result good enough this time :)

Hope you like it!

Hello lovelies,

I'm not feeling Halloween this year so I'm sorry for not doing any special manicures :-/ I do however want to show you this awesome vampy red from Zoya. It's called Sam, it has jelly formula and colour similar to blood in one coat and it's perfect for Halloween!

Sam - dark red jelly. This is just THE perfect vampy red you can get! The formulla is great - it does not create pooling or patching. Despite being jelly it has good pigmentation; I'm wearing two thicker coats. The drying time was average and removal was without problems.
