Smoosh nail art with a variety of drugstore polishes

Smoosh nail art with a variety of drugstore polishes

I was in the mood for something pretty and it’s been a while since I made smoosh nail art. It's were you put drops of different nail polish onto a stamper head and then place it on your nails.

I put drops of three different nail polish on my silicone mat. I used these polishes:

Pale blue: Gina Tricot’s ”Cloud Blue”

Dark blue: Essence’s ”Hard to resist”

Magenta: Rival de Loop’s ”Brilliant Pink”

I topped it with a baby pink glitter from Miss Sporty called ”Glitter Effect 002” or perhaps 8038E; I can’t quite figure out which one is the serial number and which one is the number of the polish. But never mind.

I placed a flower by the base of each nail, topped it all with topcoat, et voilá: My manicure was done.

Here it is:

I really like the end result of this.

Here are the the polishes I used today.

I love smoosh manicures – how about you?

Different Dimension ~ Hocus Pocus

Different Dimension ~ Hocus Pocus

Berry/deep magenta linear holo with shimmer

“Hocus Pocus” is from the “Do You Believe In Magic”-collection from Summer 2018. It’s a collection of 8 polishes and I only bought this one because it’s the only one that was right up my alley :D

I was in a hurry today so there was no time for nail art. That’s why I went with Hocus Pocus, because it’s definitely pretty enough to be worn on its own.

The formula is really good and I used two easy coats for full opacity. The drying time is really good.

I was lucky to have sunshine – take a look at all those pretty rainbows!

Different Dimension ~ Hocus Pocus

I seriously love colours like this one!

Here’s a picture taken in daylight, no direct sun. I still love the colour and finish.

Leighton Denny ~ Gem Stone Buzz

Classy red crème 

First of all: Happy new year! I hope you had a great new years evening, no matter how you spent it :)

Today I’m wearing my fourth Leighton Denny, the last of a box set I bought on my latest vacation.  

The formula is great and covers really well. I used two easy coats for full opacity and the drying time is good. This polish is really beautiful. It’s the classic, sexy red, I really love it.

I added a layer of holo glitter from Out the Door: “Northern Lights”.

The stamp is from the stamping plate “Celebration BPX-L014”. I stamped with a baby pink shimmery stamping polish from Born Pretty Store.

This is my final manicure in the sun:

This is “Gem Stone Buzz” with a layer of holo glitter topcoat over it.

This is “Gem Stone Buzz” on its own; two coats and no topcoat. Look how pretty this colour is.
