BOW Thermo Top Coat Black

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of BOW Thermo Top Coat Black to share with you!
Thermo Top Coat Black is a thermal polish that ranges from a sheer light grey to black with tiny holographic flakes.

The formula is good. I applied it over the nude polish Cirque Colors Dakota stamped with the black polish Essie Licorice and the MoYou London Holy Shapes 03 stamping plate on my middle and ring finger. It applied beautifully with one easy coat, but unfortunately it did make streaks in my stamping nail art.
The thermal shift is stunning and it shifts quickly in different temperatures.

Above the polish is in its hot state and below it is in its cold state.

It really is a shame that it smeared my nail art, because I think the disappearing nail art effect is awesome!

Fall

Today I have some fall stamping nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with an off-white base of Barry M Coconut on all my nails. Afterwards I used the Born Pretty BPL-024 stamping plate and a lot of different polishes (the mustard yellow Barry M Mustard, the burnt orange OPI It's a Piazza Cake, the green Essie Going Incognito, and the red Essie Dress to Kilt).

Stamping Gradient

Hey guys!

Today I tried a new nail art technique - a stamped gradient!

For the manicure I started off with a blue base of Essence Itsy Bitsy Blue Bikini on all my nails. Afterwards I created the stamped gradient with the MoYou London Fashionista 05 stamping plate by filling half the stamping design with Essence Itsy Bitsy Blue Bikini and the other half with the cobalt blue shade Essie Butler Please. When scraping the polishes off the stamping plate they blend together and create the gradient design.

Close up!

This nail art technique is awesome - I am definitely trying it again!

Christmas Ornaments

Hey guys!

Today I have a DIY project to share with you - christmas ornaments made with nail polish!
I also made some last year. You can check them out here.

To get started, you need some plain glass ornaments and a lot of nail polish.
I found my glass ornaments at the Danish hobby store Panduro.

When making these nail polish christmas ornaments, I always start off my pouring some nail polish inside the ornament and turning it around until the entire inside of the ornament is covered with nail polish.

First up is this bird house ornament inspired by MaineWeddingArtist on Etsy.
I used Appeal4 Frosty Dawn as the base (on the inside of the ornament). Afterwards I freehanded the branches, birds, bird house, and snowflakes with different colored nail polishes and a small nail art brush on the outside of the ornament.

Next up I have this snowflake ornament.
I used Essie Leading Lady on the inside of the ornament. Afterwards I stamped the snowflakes with MoYou London Festive 02 stamping plate and Essie As Good As Gold.

Next I have my favorite ornament this year - this cute Santa Claus in a chimney ornament.
I started off with a base of the white glitter polish Appeal4 Coconut Pine on the inside of the ornament. Afterwards I freehanded the chimneys and the two halves of the Santa with different colored nail polishes and a small nail art brush.

And here it is from behind!

Lastly I have this beautiful glitter ornament.
I started off with a white polish on the inside of the ornament. Then I made the glitter gradient using F.U.N Lacquer 24 Karat Diamond and afterwards I added the stones and adhered them onto the ornament with top coat.

And that's it! What do you guys think about these nail polish christmas ornaments?
