red - Lucy's Stash

Hello all polish lovers!

It's another day of summer challenge and the theme is Ladybird/Ladybug! I was thinking a long time about what I'll create on my nails as I didn't want to do a classic ladybird (red nail wish ladybird on it in black lines and dots). I chose to paint an animated ladybird on one accent nail standing on a leaf and the rest of the nails red with black dots.

I've used China Glaze Poinsettia, KIKO 343, Nails Inc. Dulux Forest Falls and acrylic colours.

And here is my manicure:

I've also created a tutorial of how I've done this mani:

And this was my inspiration for the ladybird/ladybug:

Hi everybody!

I'm reaching to my unpublished archives again and look what I found: China Glaze Poinsettia from Let It Snow holiday collection for 2011.

Poinsettia - bright red creme leaning to jelly finish. This is not a must-have polish, it is not pigmented that much. I'm wearing two coats and I could still slightly see the nail line. The formula is more jelly than creme and as you can see it shows every imperfection on the nail. On the other hand it dried fast and removal was easy.
