Tri-Polish Tuesday - Pink Hearts & Lace

The colours for the Tri-Polish Challenge for February are Grey, Brown and Pink. My stamping manicure today uses two of these colours. And since its getting close to Valentine's Day, I thought I would go for an image with lace and hearts!

The grey base polish is Color Club Silver Lake - its a very light, almost white grey - although there is really no silver in it, as the name might suggest. It does look grey in the bottle, although it appears almost white when you apply it - its a good base for nail art, if you don't want a stark white. The stamped image is from Pueen 27 and the stamping polish is China Glaze Holographic Infra Red. The Infra Red is more fuchsia than red and stamps pink - it does not have a strong holo but its good for stamping.

Two Tone on Tone Manicures

Two tone on tone manicures in this post, where the base and the stamping polish are in the same colour family. The first one is green on green.

For this manicure, I used:
Base Polish: Boots No 7 Totally Teal
Stamping Polish: Sally Hansen Color Quick Green Chrome
Image Plate: Pueen 33
I used the Rimmel Pro Matte Finish Top Coat for the matte effect.
I have already tried so many new things since I started this blog and a matte effect is one of them. I bought this matte top coat sometime ago but never used it. I really like how it looks on dark colours and I see myself using it in the future.
A quick note about the Boots No 7 Totally Teal - I liked the colour but it does stain so be sure to wear a couple of layers of a good base coat, if you try it.

The next manicure is purple.

For this look, I used:
Base and Stamping Polish: Sally Hansen Insta Dri Lively Lilac and Barry M Gelly Plum
Image Plate: Pueen27

I painted the entire nail lilac and then did a sponge gradient with the lilac and the Plum. I love gradient nails but I obviously need more practice with doing one since I have smudged it a little.
I then stamped with both the colours. I painted both the lilac and the plum on one half of the image and then stamped the result on the opposite colour on the nail.

Hope you liked looking at these manicures as much as I enjoyed doing them!

Denim and Lace

For this manicure, I used:
Base Polish: Rimmel Pro 925 My Denim
Stamping Polish: Konad White
Image Plates: Pueen 27 and Konad M57

Love the blue and white and the denim and lace combos!
