Kiko 241
Hi dear readers !
This is the last post I scheduled during my recovery week ! As I'm writing this, I obviously haven't had my eye surgery yet and I'm a bit anxious ! I hope by the time you'll read this post, they'll have healed enough so I can read you again :)
Today I wanted to show you a pretty polish and a very, very simple stamp.
I used Kiko 241 as the base, it's a pink base with holo glitters. Unfortunately my cam didn't want to capture the holo correctly, but it's gorgeous under the sun !
I added a cherry tree flower on the ring finger using Konad plate s9 and black polish.
I love those Kiko polishes, they have a few colors with the holo glitters and they are very pretty ! I also have a purple one I have to try soon ...
Do you like it ? Have you ever tried stuff from Kiko ? I love their eyeshadows, they are well pigmented !
Have a nice day :)
This is a scheduled post, I'll reply to your comments as soon as I come back ! Thank you :)

OPI Wing It
Hi dear readers !
There are some polish that you don't love at first sight because they are sheer and not of a color you usually like ... Then you see them layered over black and you fall in love.
That's what happened between OPI Wing It (Summer Flutter collection) and me.
I finally got my own bottle and layered it over two coats of Essence Berlin Story, and it looked like WHOAAA ! :D
Layered on black, the orange hue I didn't like disappeared completely and showed the purple/pink duochrome goodness.
I'm really glad I gave this polish a second chance ! What do you think ? :)
Have a nice day :)

Nails & Beauty Blogs Roundup
Hi dear readers !
Here's a non-scheduled post finally :)
The surgery went well and I'm slowly recovering, yesterday I had 7/10 on both eyes and it's getting better. I still can stand my computer screen so I play all day with the iPad, I was able to read your blogs and later this week I'll reply to your comments.
Thanks to all my fellow readers who asked news and sent their best wishes for my surgery ! That's what I love in blogging, sharing and caring for each other even if we don't know a lot about the person behind the screen <3
Oh I just switched to the new Blogger Interface and it's meh to me, I don't like it at all. But I'll have to get used to it, don't I ? ;)
Well the main reason of today's post is I'd like to start a blogger roundup this sunday or the next one. I'll publish one post each sunday with posts I loved, blogs I've discovered, and most important, YOUR blogs !
If you have a nails or beauty related blog, please send me your link in the comment section of this post, or by email: gwenn@sugar-nails.com Feel free to send me your links, wether you're a beginner blogger or an experienced one :) I hope to get links from you, I love to discover new blogs ;)
Have a nice day :)

Cloud Manicure
Hi dear readers :)
No stamping challenge today, as yesterday was April's Fool, the girls on Adventures in Stamping decided to do a non-stamping manicure ! I loved the idea, but as this is a scheduled post it's no fun to do something in advance :p
Anyway, I'll show you a non-stamping manicure I made a while ago ;)
You already know about my love for Jane and her manicures on Nailside. she does a great job, and she shares some secrets with her tutorials.
Lately I loved her Cloud manicures and decided to follow her explanations on how to make them. Well the most difficult part was to choose some colors. As I ust got P2 Night Out and wanted to try it, I started with it as the base.
Not too bad for a first try, rigth ? :)
I know they are not perfect, they look a bit square-y, but i'm still glad with them !
I used P2 Night Out as the base, China Glaze Millenium for the middle color, and the third color is a little mess ... I wanted to use a dark blue crackle but it ate the coat of Millenium, so I hid the damages with two coats of China Glaze Skyscraper.
I'll use this technique many more time, I love it and the possibilities are infinite ! Next time I'd like to add more contrast :)
What do you think ? Have your ever tried the cloud manicure ?
You can see the tutorial I used here: http://nailside.blogspot.com/2012/01/tutorial-freehand-cloud-design.html
Have a nice day :)
