ZOYA Wendy - Valentine's Nails

Hi!
These are my first Valentine's day nails for 2015 and I wanted to start with these inspired by a design I did 3 years ago. Curiously I didn't did this for Valentine's day in 2012 but today it's perfect for the occasion. These nails were one of my most shared and recreated since.

Today I wanted to show you what I did with a different base color. I used ZOYA Wendy, stamped using the plates BM311/BM02 from Bundle Monster and Mundo de Uñas in white and red,

This is the link to my original post where you can find more pictures and details.

Which version is your favorite? Don't forget to share your Valentine's day nails on my Facebook page or tag me on IG @coloresdecarol using #coloresdecarol

Essence - Candy Crush

Hello!
 Th other day I went to ULTA and while looking at the Essence's display, I saw this bright shade that caught my attention. Candy Crush is a bright hot pink with red undertones. It dried to a matte finish and was opaque in two easy coats.

The stamp is from the plate hehe017 from Born Pretty Store and Mundo de Uñas stamping polish in neon blue and white.

Essence - Top Of The Ice-Stream

Hello everyone!

Today I have for you this beautiful shade from Essence, Top Of The Ice-Stream is a white sheer base full of  duo-chrome shimmer that could be blue or pink depending on the light and angle.

I applied three thin coats to obtain full opacity.

Essence Grey-t To Be Here

Hello beautiful People, how's your Saturday going?

I'm at home relaxing a little bit, writing some posts for the week for you to enjoy.

Today I have for you Grey-t To Be Here from Essence, this is one of the new colors in the new package. I like this bottle a lot, what I love most is that the cap is the same color as the polish, I think it's kind of cool.

This is a a light grey with a subtle pink shimmer. Great formula and applies smoothly. This is two coats.

For the design I used Cheeky image plate CH33 and black special polish, I also did a diagonal tip using WW Black Creme.

At the end I stamped the same design in the black side with Grey-t To Be Here.

Thank you for watching!

Essence Sleepy

Good night!

If you look at my pictures, I'm sure you noticed something different, yes, the watermark.
I'm really sorry about that but I have no choice. Lately my pictures have been taken from my blog and posted in other social networks without the proper credit.  A lot of you already know me, I really don't care to share my pictures when you ask, I'm always open to answer questions and give advice if  asked but It's not fair to me, I take time to do my manicures, take pictures, post them and I think I deserve the credit if I they're mine.

I'm so sorry you had to read all this but they are my thoughts,

I hope you all enjoy this manicure, I used Sleepy from The Essence Snow White Collection, a sky blue with a hidden shimmer. I applied two coats.

I dabbed Walk On Air using the Saran wrap technique following this tutorial from Nailed It. I added a little bit of glitter.

I stamped using the image plate M9 from Konad and white special polish.

Thank you very much for watching and for all your support.
