L'Oreal is one of the worst nail polishes one can select. First you have to apply about thee layers. It stayed just one night and then the edges started to peel off. Sure you can fix it here and there but this is not the whole point of buying nail polish if such brand.

  • Three kitties
  • Base coat
  • Stain blue nail polish

Steps:
  • Apply the base coat
  • Apply a few layers of the nail polish

Peach Marble

What makes it special: The forms you create by mixing the colours.
  
How long it lasts:
This design lasted six days. This is surpring because the nail polish is extremely cheap Turkish brand. I could keep it for a coupe of days more but by that time I needed a change.

To cook this look you need:

  • Three kitties
  • Peach (salmon) nail polish
  • Orange nail polish
  • Purple nail polish (it looks like blue  on the picture below)
  • Cup full with water
  • Toothpick 
  • Cream (and cotton tips - optional)
  • Base coat, the top coat is not necessary 

 Steps:

  1. Apply the base coat
  2. Apply one ot two layera of the salmon nail polish, it is god to have a base coat in case your water coat doesn't work and this base coat to be light, otherwise the marble effect won't be very visible.
  3. Wait to dry
  4. Cover the skin around your nail with greasy hand cream. It will help you to clean the marble nail polish from the skin later.
  5. Get the cup filled with water. Open your nail polishes and add a small drop in the water.
  6. The design depend pretty much on you as well as the colour intencity. Drop more than one drop in the wataer if you want darker and more rich colours. 
  7. In my mix - orange, orange, purple, salmon, purple, orange  
  8. Use the toothpick to miz the colours by creating zig-zag shapes
  9. Dip some of your fingers in the water cup and slowly take them out
  10. Clean the surface ot the water with the toothpic. Try to catch as many pieces of the nail polish drops as possible. 
  11. Repeat steps 6-10 with the rest of the fingers.

How to take off glitter, plush and clean your nails

To took this you need:
  • Three kitties
  • Nail polish remover
  • Cotton into 10 pieces
  • Foil (ideally left after you ate the chocolate) cut into small pieces. The size of the foil pieces depends how long your nails are.
Steps:

Repeat this for each finger
  1. Soak the cotton piece in nail polish remover
  2. Place the cotton on the nail
  3. Immediately cover it with foil folded on it like a cap. The whole point of having the foil is that it keeps the acetone from the nail polish remover. If you don't cover it, the acetone will touch the air and will evaporate quickly without doing much work. 
  4. Stay like this for 5-8 minutes (or even more!) depending on how many layers of nail polish you have. The more you have, the longer you should stay.
  5. With circle movement remove the whole foil along the cotton
  6. Clean the nails with clean cotton and you are done!
 

 

Golden Teal Fluff

What makes it special: The fluffiness as always! Actually the brown golden plush is pretty cool and if you wear it in a sunny day it looks truly golden. If you have it in a gloomy day, the teal will save the day!

How long it lasts: I had it for two days. By the end of the first day the brown/golden was heavily damaged but I decided to keep this design for another day because of the teal. My teal nail polish was identical to the plush

To cook this look you need:
  • Three kitties
  • Base coat
  • Nail plush: teal and brown/golden 
  • Nail polish in the same colour
  • Tweezers (optional)
Note: No top coat!
 
Steps:
  1. Apply the base coat
  2. Apply one layer of nail polish, then repeat for each finger individually:
  3. Apply a second coat
  4. While the nail polish is still wet hurry up and sprinkle it with the plush  
  5. Tap gently to make more of it stay firmly to the nail
  6. You can use the tweezers for that and tap with them (optional)  
  7. Clean the excess

Pink Caviar

What makes it special: The extraterrestrial caviar effect. Yes. It is pink.
 
How long it lasts:
I had for exactly one day. By the evening this design was ruined.

To cook this look you need:
  • Three kitties
  • Base coat
  • Caviar pearls
  • Nail polish in the same colour as the caviar pearls or at least very similar to it
  • Top coat
 
Steps:
  1. Apply the base coat
  2. Apply one coat of the pink nail polish. Then repeat this for each finger:
  3. Apply a second coat of pink nail polish on one finger
  4. While the second coat is still wet, cover it with the pink caviar
  5. To do so you can dip your nail in a small bowl full of pearls or sprinkle it
  6. Gently (gently!) tap the caviar pearls. The point is to press them in the fresh nail polish and this to serve as a glue to keep them tight
  7. Wait to dry
  8. Cover with a layer of top coat.
The last one is optional. You can do fine with the pearls as they are. In addition keep in mind that some pearls slightly change their colour when topped with transparent top coat: half of your nail might look darker than the other.
