Hello lovelies,

Today is the third day of the Nail Art Fashion Week and we take inspiration from bags, handbags and clutches. There haven't been many bags that caught my eye but I finally found one that inspired me! It is from a London-based designer Orla Kiely and her collection called Orla La which introduced a collection that looked very retro to me. It features patterns and colour combinations that I found very different from what the other designers introduced.

"Kiely was inspired by British Fifties and Sixties kitchen sink drama; The New Wave; and Northern Soul, the early Seventies British dance movement based on American soul. The designer took her initials and fused them into structured, glossy leather handbags and small leather goods. One structured, boxy bag with a gold chain featured different skins, including polished natural leather, shiny leather and crocodile." Read more about this collection and see all the pictures here.

For this nail design I've used OPI Incognito In Sausalito, OPI My Very First Knockwurst, Zoya Daisy, OPI Matte Top Coat, MoYou London PRO collection 03 stamping plate and white stamping polish. And of course I added the gold chain to the remaining nails :)

The process was quite complicated and I had to use a nail vinyl, latex barrier, stamping and painting over it so I'm not doing step by step description. But I like how the nails look with the matte top coat but this time I didn't forget to snap a picture of the glossy version! Let's compare the two:

So which version is your favourite? Matte or glossy?

Hello lovelies,

Today is the second day of the Nail Art Fashion Week and the theme is SHOES! I've chosen to take an inspiration from Derek Lam shoes modelled at this year's New Yor Fashion Week. There weren't that many shoes that caught my attention but these ones are fun!

I chose these shoes because I liked the use of negative space and partially raised surface and the overall filigree look. It was a clear choice for me because it allowed me to do kind of a 3D look using gel.

I started with Unt peel off base coat because I will be using gel that I don't want to wear for long. Then I've painted on all the white filigree with white acrylic paint from Crystal Nails. Once that dried I have used a small nail art brush and Bela Forma Mat White gel paint 23 and painted inside the filigree pattern. I've left a white border around it so it looks like the surface is rising in the middle. Lastly, I've sealed it all with Gelish Top It Off gel polish top coat. For this experiment I've used the new Mylee PRO Elite LED lamp (will be reviewing it) and it seemed to have worked a treat!

So what do you think of my shoes inspired nails?
