Hey loves
What a week so far! How has yours been? It’s so close to holidays I can smell it and I am rushing to try and get as much done before the holidays so I don’t have to worry about a thing. It’s also still been raining for days but today there is a break in the clouds and sun is teasing us so I am going to try and get some washing done. Downhill to the weekend yay!
So if you’ve been here for a while you probably know that I have a serious love affair with the Lina plates at the moment. Many time I would see an image on a plate that I really want to use and then start looking at colours and polishes to use with it. That is exactly what happened here. I really wanted to use the image on the All Mixed Up 01 plate and luckily this blue glittery polish has been eyeing me for weeks. So let me show you what I did,
On my index and middle finger I started with 2 coats of Rimmel – Blue eyed girl. On my ring finger I used 3 coats of Pure Ice – Strapless and on my pinky I used 2 coats of Sinful Colors – Black on black and then used Pure Ice – Strapless to make a glitter gradient on the tip. Once everything was completely dry I stamped on my index and middle finger using Line – All mixed up 01 and Mundo de Unas – Black. I topcoated everything and that was that.
What do you think? I am really liking the blues and the stamped image is so cute! I really like this blue glitter and I am really surprised how easy it is to work with. Let me show you,
Pure Ice – Strapless
This is 3 coats with topcoat. This is a small blue metallic glitter in a clear base and I am blown away by how beautiful and opaque it is. I got full coverage in 3 easy thin coats. It also dried pretty quick between coats so I had no trouble at all achieving this opaque glittery look. It also works beautifully as a topper because it is a clear base. This also dries a little on the matte side so looks really sparkly with a topcoat.
What do you think of it? Do you have any of these glittery Pure ice polishes? Do you have this Lina plate? I am so obsessed with them so I am recommending them to everyone!
Thanks for reading,
There she goes again, talking about those Lina plates :p
I have to admit your nails look fabulous. Just wondering, how long did it take you to remove the glitter? Or are you smarter than I am and used peel off base? 😉
Hahahaha man I love these lina plates. I really can’t get enough.
You want to know my little secret? I use the Wet n Wild protective base coat and for some reason, it turns into a peel off base coat. It doesn’t just pop off but I can within a few hours agitate the edge and then literally peel it off. If I don’t agitate it will go for a few days before I can feel there is some lifting happening. Even then, if I leave it alone it’s fine. But I don’t know when last I have had to remove a difficult polish. It’s a dream. I initially thought it was a body chemistry issue with me but I’ve told a few other ladies and it works for them as well. Again, it isn’t a peel off base but You can learn how to manipulate it to peel off. I sometimes run my tongue over my nail and I swear I can feel where it is ‘looser’ and then I start lifting the edge. I love it!
