Nail Of The Day – Manhattan Lotus Effect Nail Polish 96S & Stamping With Pict You PY-J034

Hi there! Today’s post is a Nail Of The Day post.

For this mani I painted my nails with Manhattan Lotus Effect Nail Polish 96S (2 coats). This is a turquoise shade. It’s not the most special polish, but a decent one nonetheless.

For the images I used my Pict You PY-034 stamping plate. The black polish I stamped with is Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto.

I liked this mani a lot. I love marble and swirly type of manis, and this one fits right in. I’m also glad I rediscovered this stamping plate. It got lost in my stash, but now that it’s back, it’ll be used again soon!

Nail Of The Day – Ciaté Kiss Chase & Stamping With Pict You PY-J034

Hi there! Today’s post is a Nail Of The Day post.

For this mani I painted my nails with Ciaté Kiss Chase (2 coats). I’m not a big fan of “cute” pink colours like this – and that goes for pretty much everything – clothes, nail and lip products, accessories, etc. But I thought it would make a good base for stamping.

For the images I used my Pict You PY-J034 stamping plate and Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto.

I liked this mani very much, and I’m glad I was able to dig up this stamping plate again.  I have 200+ stamping plates (I should give some of them away). Looking for a certain stamping plate is needle in a haystack territory. But that’s 100% my fault!

Nail Of The Day – Rimmel Rita Ora 860 Bestival Blue & Stamping With Nicole Diary ND 076

Hi there! Today’s post is about a mani I did a few weeks ago.

For this mani I painted my nails with Rimmel Rita Ora 860 Bestival Blue (2 coats). I love this polish! Great quality, stunning colour!

I was actually going for a marine mani, but then I decided to do something else.

So for the images I used my Nicole Diary ND 076 stamping plate and Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto.

I loved this mani! And that’s because of the beautiful base colour and this amazing stamping plate! I’ll be redoing this mani shortly because I love the look of it. Next time I’ll go for a milky purple or lilac base.

Nail Of The Day – Rimmel Salon Pro 500 Peppermint & Stamping With Nicole Diary ND 076

Hi there! Today’s short post is about a cute mani I did a few weeks ago.

For this mani I painted my nails with Rimmel Salon Pro 500 Peppermint (2 coats). This polish has grown on me over the years. I used to think it’s a filler polish. But now I love it!

For the images I used my new Nicole Diary ND 076 stamping plate. The 2 polishes I stamped with are Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto (black) and Revlon Brilliant Strength 110 Hypnotize (gold).

I really loved this mani, and I will redo it shortly – maybe with a light blue, lavender or lilac base.
