Choi's nails

For this manicure you'll need:

• One coat of your preferred base coat (I used Essie's Protein base coat)
• A basic white polish. Paint two coats and let dry. The white I used was MO's White light.
• Apply the three pinks from light to dark on the sponge and sponge onto the nails.
  The polishes used here was:
  MO's Pink Veneer - Baby pink
  MO's Coral Glaze - Peachy coral
  MO's Cerise Shine - Bright fuchsia pink
• With the swirl design on Moyou London's Suki collection plate no.07 and a white polish, stamp the design on the whole nail.
• Seal with your preferred top coat (I used INM's Out the door top coat)

Ahh I do hate how some bright polishes make my skin look so yellow. Even the photo editing softwares can't help me much. Is it my lighting? Can anyone help with some advice on that?

Anyway, hope everyone enjoyed reading this post. Don't forget I'm also on

For this manicure you'll need:

• One coat of your preferred base coat (I used Essie's Protein base coat)
• Two coats of Models Own's Lilac Sheen - Pastel purple
• With and black and gold polish, stamp the image from the Moyou Festive collection No 22 plate on the ring finger nail.
• Seal the nail with one coat of your preferred top coat. (I use INM's Out the door.)

Hmm, I tried to do the whole two tone stamping technique but with the design lines being kind of thin and all it didn't quite work out. The two shades did mix a little but I didn't think it was much of a big deal overall I'm still quite happy with how it turned out.

What do you think of this manicure? What other colour combinations should I try for the two tone stamping techniques?

For this manicure you'll need:

• One coat of your preferred base coat (I used Essie's Protein base coat)
• Apply two coats of Models Own's Strawberry tart, a pastel pink polish. One I do like to go back to once in a while. The photo above shows it as a full mani on it's own. This polish is part of MO's scented collection and the smell is still there for my one.
• Apply a layer of top coat on a nail stamper.
• With a design from the Moyou's Kaleidoscope collection plate 01 and the Konad white stamping polish, do as you'd normally do to transfer the image onto the scraper.
• With your choice of polish shades, colour in parts of the design whilst it is still sitting on the scraper. A dotting tool, toothpick or thin brush is recommended for this part especially if you're going to be painting the smaller/intricate parts.
  Here I simply used Misa's I will survive, a standard black and Barry M's Gold foil.
• Once the colouring is done, apply a layer of top coat over the design and wait 10 minutes for it to dry. 
• Using tweezers, gently remove the design from the stamper and place on the ring finger nail. If the design rips, you may need to leave it for a few extra minutes before attempting to remove it again. If the design still looks a bit 'wet' then I'd suggest doing so.
• Seal the whole nail one coat of your preferred top coat. (I use INM's Out the door.)

Have you tried the reverse stamping method yet? Well, you should! The process is a little time consuming with a bit of waiting here and there especially if you're going to go ahead with doing the full thing but the results are very satisfactory.

For this manicure you'll need:

• One coat of your preferred base coat (I used Essie's Protein base coat)
• Apply two coats of a plain white. Here I used Models Own's White light.
• With the following polishes randomly dot them around the nail:-
  Lilac sheen - Lilac
  Cerise shine - Fuchsia pink
  Strawberry tart - Baby pink
• Seal with one coat of your preferred top coat. (I use INM's Out the door.)

What three colours should I pick for my next tri-colour dotticure?

Having a mind block over what other designs I should do. Any suggestions?

For this manicure:

• Apply one coat of your preferred base coat (I used Essie's protein base coat.)
• Apply a white base. Here I used Models Own's White light from their hypergel collection.
• Sponge the following polishes onto each nail:
  MO's Banana split - Pastel yellow
  MO's Apple pie - Pastel mint green
  MO's Grape juice - Pastel lilac
• Using the Konad white polish and the flower images on the right hand bottom corner of the Moyou Suki collection plate no.7. Stamp the flowers onto each nail
• Seal with one coat of your preferred top coat. (I use INM's Out the door top coat.)

What do you think of this nail polish? What kind of pinks are your favourite?

As with all the other polishes from the diamond luxe collection, the gold diamond dust is not really showing up on my nails but they definitely don't fail to make an appearance from the bottle.

I've got about two coats on here and that's about enough to get things looking opaque. Not only the application but the clean up was also easy peasy but I don't remember if any top coat was applied after because the surface is looking a little bumpy. It might have been one of those moments where I snap a picture before a design or top coat just in case anything messes up. I don't think a design happened in the end though.


Do you own any polishes from the diamond luxe collection? Which one is your favourite?

For this manicure you'll need:

• One coat of your preferred base coat (I used Ciate mini's Underwear)
• Two coats Models Own's Asscher Blue - Aren't those turquoise dust looking pretty just reflecting back.
• Konad's white polish and Bundle Monster's BM 205 plate for the flower stamping.
• Models Own's Chrome gold for dotting the middle of the flowers.
• Seal with one coat of your preferred top coat. (I use Misa's UV Bounceback)

I may still have a few more polishes from the diamond luxe collection to show so do keep a lookout for the next posts.
