No swatches today! It is nail art time again! I as thinking a lot lately about more spring manicures and what shall I do, what polishes to use, what to plates etc... And I got so many ideas, that I had to start right away! I was doing again a combination of leadlight technique and stamping decals, because I wasn't really sure how the entire mani will look in the end. Of course, I used my lovely Dance Legend - Top Aquarelles for the leadlight part, and I am still amazed with the effect! Wanna see and read more about it? Check the post below! :)

I started the manicure with one coat of Catrice - Brightening Base Coat, because I knew I would apply over it a coat of F.U.N Lacquer - Snow White and because I have a mini bottle of it, I just don't want to use it up soon. I applied over it a coat of Poshe and waited for it to dry.
While waiting, I did some quick butterfly stamping on the baking paper to make the decals. I made only two, cuz I needed them for accent nails. The design is from Infinity Nails 106 Plate and is stamped with Mundo de Unas - Dark Gray. Polishes used for filling up the decals are: ILNP - Atomic Sherbet (orange), Doctor Lacquer - Carotene (H) (yellow) and Literary Lacquer - Shift of Fate (green). When the decals were ready, I stamped the roses on the nails using MoYou London Tourist Plate 21 (pinkie and middle) and the same Infinity plate as for the butterfly design (index and thumb). Polish used for stamping is also Mundo de Unas - Dark Gray.
Then I did the leadlighting. I used Dance Legend - Dali, Matisse and Gaugiun. I simply used a make up sponge to paint the roses with the polishes listed. Then I applied the decals on the ring finger nails using Essence - Sealing Top Coat. I highlighted the colours of the butterflies also using Dance Legend - Top Aquarelles. I finished the manicure with one coat of Poshe.
This was quite simple and fast manicure. I really like the way how it turned out. I think that the gray stamping made the manicure look a bit more delicate and it is awesome! :) How do you like it? :)
That's all from me for now! Stay tuned for more nail stuff!
