Pueen Encore SE01B Collaboration With Lucie Aka Loving Nails

Lucie's nails to the left & mine to the right.

About two months ago I asked Lucie aka Loving Nails if she wanted to do a collaboration video with me for our youtube channels. She said yes, and we have been chatting on FB about what to do and what plates to use. We finally got got down to do the collab after we both ordered and got our Pueen Encore sets.
We agreed to use Pueen SE01B and 3 parts of the plate.

                                   

My youtube video tutorial of each step.

I painted all of my nails white with Orly Pointe Blanche, then I applied 1 thin coat of matte top coat and let it dry before I pulled out my acrylic paints. The acrylic paints I used was FolkArt in Lavender and Parisian Pink. Then I used my fan brush I got in a brush kit from Dashica and loaded the brush half way with each color and painted my nails with a side to side motion to create a gradient. When the acrylic paint had dried I pulled out the Pueen plate, my Dashica stamping polish in Black and my XL stamper with the marshmallow replacement head from Fab Ur Nails (that I ordered from llarowe). 10 minutes later I applied a thin coat of the matte top coat again and added some crystals with my Crystal Katana (by Crystal Ninja) on my ring finger.

My nails 

This was my 2nd collab nails in very short time. But both of them was so fun to do. I hope I get to do some again soon. And all the girls did amazing jobs on their nails too. 

I feel so blessed to have met so many sweet girls from around the world who loves nails just as much as I do. 

Thank you, Lucie for doing this collab with me.

Cloudy Blue Sky Nails

I have been planning this nail art for a while, this is the first part of the look. This is the background for the upcoming nail stamping tutorial, so stay tuned.

For the cloudy blue sky I applied 2 coats of OPI Alpine Snow and let it dry before I started mixing the acrylic paints. I used water based acrylic paint I got from the craft store in white and light blue, so I mixed the two colors until I got a sky blue color. And applied 2 coats on my nails, letting it dry after each application. Then I cut off  a piece of sponge and dotted it on my nails to get the cloud effect. And finished off the look with my Poshe fast drying topcoat. Then I just washed off the acrylic paint that got onto my skin and cuticles, no need for polish remover to remove water based acrylic paints.

                                    

So can you guess what I am working on??? Anyways I hope you liked this. Have a great week.
