Avon Magic Effects Liquid Sequin

Hi!

Today I prepared a bit different post for you, my dear readers! 
Many of you problably don't have these fancy tools and nail art stamping plates for creating beautiful and easy christmas or new years themed nails. Today I prepared a post on how you can easily create simple but pretty manicures for the holidays using Avon Liquid Sequin nail polishes.

Danes sem za vas moje predrage bralke pripravila malo drugačno objavo.
Mnogo izmed vas nima božično ali novoletno obarvanih šablon doma, ampak to še ne pomeni, da z malo truda ne morete ustvariti lepih in preprostih prazničnih nohtov. Za vas sem pripravila 3 vodiče, kako si lahko pričarate praznično vzdušje na nohtih z laki iz Avonove kolekcije Liquid Sequin.

This collection includes 4 different nail polishes in  Glitterati, Sequin, Dazzle and Glimmer ( I have 3 from this collection as shown in the picture below).

Kolekcija Liquid Sequin Vsebuje 4 čudovite praznične lake z imeni Glitterati, Sequin, Dazzle in Glimmer (Vse razen zadnjega lahko vidite na spodnji sliki).


Now I'll show you picture tutorials on how to create 3 easy but still pretty holiday themed manicures.

Sedaj vam bom predstavila 3 slikovne vodiče za preproste, a vendar kljub temu simpatične praznične manikure.


Chirstmas Tree and Gifts

Božično drevesce in darila




Here are detailed instructions:

1. Polish your index, ring and pinkie with black base. Use Avon Sequin on all of the fingers (I applied 1 coat over black and 3 coats on my middle finger). 

2. With a thin brush or toothpick draw 2 thin lines.

3. Shape a bow (also with toothpick or brush).

4. Polish a thick coat of Sequin on a peace of foil and let it dry.

5. When the peace of Avon Sequin on the foil is dry, cut out Christmas thee with scissors.

6. Put clear polish on your ring finger and than gently place Christmas tree on top. Add a layer of top coat.

Optional: You can add glitter from Avon Sequin to add Christmas light to the tree.

Navodila:

1. Prstanec, kazalec in mezinec prelakiraj s črnim lakom za nohte. Na vse nohte dodaj plast Avon Sequin. Čez sredinec pa nanesi 3 plasti, da prekrije belo konico nohta. 

2. S tankim čopičem ali zobotrebcem nariši tanki črni črti.

3. S čopičem ali zobotrebcom nariši še mašnjico.

4. Na kos folije nalakiraj debelo plast Avon Sequin in počakaj da se posuši.

5. Suh lak odlepi in s škarjami izreži obliko božičnega drevesca.

6. Na prstanec najprej nanesi plast prozornega laka, nato pa nanj previdno položi izrezano drevo. Dodaj nadlak.

Opcijsko: Z zobotrebcem lahko iz laka Avon Sequin dodaš na drevesce bleščice in s tem drevescu dodaš lučke. 

Because I wasn't completely satisfied with this manicure I decided to replace Christmas tree with a bow for a gift. This is what I ended up with:

Ker z videzom smrečice nisem bila popolnoma zadovoljna sem na prstanec narisala mašnjico in naredila na nohtu še eno darilo. Takole pa je izgledala ta manikura:




You can see how Avon Sequin looks on it's own on my middle finger.

Kako izgleda Avon Sequin brez podlage si lahko pogledaš na mojem sredincu.

Glittery Snowflake Wrapping paper

Bleščičasti papir za zavijane s snežinkami



Instrucitons:

1. Use Avon Glitterati for a base.
With a thin brush or a toothpick draw a thin line.

2. Add 3 more lines to form a star.

4. On every second line in star add 4 more smaller lines. Add dots on the other 4 lines you haven't used.

4. Play on the rest of the nails. Draw stars, dots.... and apply top coat.

Navodila:

1. Za podlago uporabi Avon Glitterati. S tankim čopičem ali zobotrebcem najprej nariši tanko belo črto.

2. Dodaj še 3 tanke bele črte, da dobiš zvezasto obliko.

3. Na vsaki drugi krak zvezde nariši še dodatne 4 črtice, na prazne krake pa naredi pikice.

4. Pozabavaj se z ostalii nohti. Riši črtice, pikice, zvezdice, da dobiš morje snežink. Nanesi še nadlak.

New Year's eve fireworks

Novoletna manikura z ognjemetom



For this manicure you will need scissors and scotch tape.

Za to manikuro boš potrebovala lepilni trak in škarje (lahko z vzorčki).




Instrucitons:

1. Paint Black base on index and middle finger and Avon Dazzle on your pinkie and ring finger.

2. Cut out 2 pieced of scotch tape and place it on your skin (it will lose some stickiness and make no damage to your manicure). Place the tape on your nails, and polish Dazzle over, quickly remove tape.

3. Cut 4 thin and straight pieces of tape (also stick it to the skin) and make a star shape on your ring finger. Polish over black polish and quickly remove tape.

4. Apply top coat and you're done!

Navodila:

1. Kazalec in sredinec nalakiraj s črnim lakom, Avon Dazzle nanesi na mezinec in prstanec. 

2. S škarjami izreži 2 kosa lepilnega traka in ga nalepi na kožo. S tem boš zmanjšala lepljivost lepilnega traka in zmanjšala možnost, da si pri tem poškoduješ manikuro. Kosa nato nalepi na kazalec in sredinec ter ju prelakiraj z Avon Dazzle. Lepilni trak odstrani, ko je lak še moker.

3. S šakrjami izreži 4 zelo ozke kose lepilnega traka (zopet jih najprej nalepi na kožo). Trake nalepi v zvezdasto obliko na prstancu. Čez prelakiraj črni lak in lepilni trak odstrani.

4. Nanesi nadlak za sijaj in obstojnost.




 You can see Avon Dazzle on it's on on my pinkie finger.

Kako izgleda Avon Dazzle brez druge podlage lako vidiš na mojem mezincu.


V tem katalogu lahko Avon Sequin lake ob nakupu kateregakoli izdelka iz kataloga dobiš za samo 2,5€.

Gradient hearts

Hi!

I'm probably really late for a Valentines day manicure, right?
I made this manicure quite some time ago also with a tutorial for SLO store, and because I promised I'll give them copyright for my pictures I didn't publish my manicure here. Because I loved my manicure and I really enjoyed wearing it, I just had to break my promise and publish it here. 

Here it is, my beloved ombre heart manicure:


I used: 
 for base 2 coats Essence Iced Latte
for hearts OPI Malaga Wine and Essence White hype ( B&W LE)


Here is another picture
I think that Essence Ice Latted is the most realsitic here, on pictures above it is a bit to pink and pale 
( but maybe it's just my commputer)

I know that all hearts aren't the same shape and don't have a perfect gradient, but I still love it =)

I used scotch tape to achieve this look. Would you like to see a tutorial fot this look?


Have a lovely day?

My first REAL scotch tape manicure

HI!

Lately there is a lot of scotch tape manicures in the blogging word because of Erika from Chloe's nails. She makes really awesome nail arts only with scissors and scotch tape(but I think you all already know this)! In one of her posts she also used crafting scissors and because I loved it so much I just had to try it. You can check out here version here.
Here are the pictures of my version:



I used 2 coats od Color Club: Frostbite for the base, and than added one coat of Essence: Fatal. In the end I applied Seche Vite fat drying top coat.

Do you like my version of scotch tape manicure?

This wasn't my first attempt of a manicure with a scotch tape. A few years ago, I wanted to do a manicure in rasta colours, and I also used scotch tape for it, but because I didn't wait long enough for all the coats to dry I had a really ugly manicure instead =). At least I learned a lesson from that. And also this is probably the reason why I waited so long to try it again, but as I asid I just couldn't resist the crafting scissors pattern =).


There is also something new on my blog. I'm going to do Guest Nails! posts. You can read more about them here. I really hope this will work, because I think it is a great opportunity for unknown bloggers to gain some readers and also I will also have a wonderful opportunity to meet some of my followers more in person =).


Have a nice day!
