Stamped Grey Gradient

Hi dear readers !

As I promised in my latest post, here's my grey gradient with some stamping on it :)

So, you already know what I used but here's a quick reminder if you missed the post.
The gradient was made with China Glaze Recycle, Models Own Grey Day and China Glaze Snow.

Then I added ont coat of China Glaze Wireless for an extra bling, and stamped a pattern from Konad plate m83 with black stamping polish.

I like this pattern a lot, it really goes with everything.

I hope you like it :)

Have a nice day !

Hello :)

Comme promis dans mon dernier billet, voici dégradé de gris version stamping !

Vous savez déjà ce que j'avais utilisé pour le dégradé mais voici un petit rappel pour celles qui auraient loupé le billet précédent.
Le dégradé a été réalisé avec China Glaze Recycle, Models Own Grey Day et China Glaze Snow.

Ensuite j'ai ajouté un peu de paillettes avec  China Glaze Wireless, puis j'ai stampé un motif de la plaque Konad M83 en noir avec de vernis spécial.

J'aime beaucoup ce motif, il s'accorde avec tout.

J'espère que vous aimez :)

Bonne journée !

Grey Gradient

Hi dear readers !

Last week, I wanted to make some gradient nails with a stamping, but I didn't know which color to work with. I did so many purple, pink and blue manicures lately, I didn't know what to chose ... Then I though "hey, you never work with grey. Why not give it a try ?"
And so came this manicure ...

I stamped it later, but I love the gradient on it's own, so I'll show you the stamping later this week :)

I started by painting my nails with China Glaze Recycle, then I applied three polishes on a make up sponge and created the gradient.
The polishes I used, from darker to lighter: China Glaze Recycle, Models Own Grey Day, China Glaze Snow.

I loved the result, grey isn't such a sad color :)
I also admit that I really love a lot the gradients with the lightest color on the tips ! I already used this method with other colors and always liked the result.

What do you think ? Do you like this one ? :)

Have a nice day :)

Hello !


La semaine passée, j'ai eu une grosse envie de gradient nails avec un stamping par dessus, mais je ne savais pas avec quelle couleur travailler. J'ai déjà fait beaucoup de gradient en bleu, rose, mauve dernièrement, je ne savais pas quoi choisir ... Et là je me suis dit: "tu ne travailles jamais avec du gris. Pourquoi ne pas essayer ?"
Et voilà comment est née cette manucure ...

Plus tard j'ai aouté le stamping, mais j'aimais déjà le résultat du gradient tout seul, donc je vous montrerai le reste plus tard cette semaine :)

J'ai commencé par poser deux couches de China Glaze Recycle, puis j'ai mis 3 vernis sur une éponge à maquillage et j'ai créé le dégradé.
Les vernis utilisés, du plus foncé au plus clair, sont China Glaze Recycle, Models Own Grey Day et China Glaze Snow.

J'ai adoré le résultat, le gris n'est pas si triste comme couleur au final :)
Je dois dire aussi que j'aime beaucoup les dégradés où la couleur la plus claire est sur les bords libres ! J'ai déjà utilisé cette méthode dans d'autre dégradés et j'aime le résultat.

Qu'en pensez-vous ? Vous aimez ?

Bonne journée :)

Models Own Grey Day & CND Sapphire Sparkle

Hi sweeties !

Did you have a nice weekend ? Mine was good, I worked a lot for the wedding table decorations, there are only two weeks left now ... Time runs sooo fast !
At the end of this month I'll take hollidays to Spain but i'll try to plan some posts before I go :) 

Today's polish is my first and only Models Own. A good friend of mine gave me it a while ago (the same friend who offered me Lippman's polish ^^) and I was so glad to discover it !

As the name tells it, it's a medium shade of grey, very easy to wear and casual. It has a thick texture but is easy to apply. I used two coats but with a good application it would only need one. The only bad point is the smell, as it's not a big-3-free. I don't really care about that for myself but the ingredients are not indicated on their website.

My pics were taken inside because of the lack of sun, my apologies for this :(

The next day, I wanted to try my brand new CND Effects, Sapphire Sparkle, which is made of thin blue glitters suspended in a clear base.

It turned totally gorgeous ! The grey base wasn't modified but it added a sparkle of color changing glitters, from pink/purple to blue, depending on the light. Isn't it absolutely lovely ?

I can't wait for the sun to come back, I'd like to get better pics for Sapphire Sparkle and Crimson Sparkle which I also own.

Do you like those CND Effects top coats ?

Models Own polish can be found on Asos for about 8$

CND Colours and Effects are available on Nailetc for 5.89$

Have a nice day :)
