Tutorial: Cloud Nails
I did some cloud nails for a nail challenge I was doing last year and someone asked for a tutorial. Cloud nails are very simple to do, and look more complicated than they are.
What did I need?
Two or three polishes (I used Yes Love - K033, Color Club - Pucci-licious)
Top Coat
2) Using a different polish, paint three 'clouds'
3) Using your base polish (or third polish) paint three 'clouds' leaving a small amount of second polish showing.
4) Top coat the nail art
I did originally try and do a tutorial on my nails but the colours I chose maybe weren't the best for showing the technique;
1) Base polish [A England - Crown of Thistles]
2) Using a different polish, paint three 'clouds' [A England - Lady of the Lake]
Here are a couple of other colour ways I have used using the cloud nail technique;

I think the cloud nails idea came originally from NailSide, if you know different do let me know.

Swatch: Nails Inc - Optic Wave (2015)
Nails Inc and Colgate recently got together again, when you bought the toothpaste you got a free nail polish. The deal was going on in the UK in Boots. This time around there are three polish choices, this one - a vivid blue cream, a baby pink cream and a orange based red cream.
While this years polishes have the same names as last year the colours (red and blue) are different. I don't know about the pink one. You can see 2014's Optic Wave here.
Stamping Plate: MoYou London - Sailor Collection 01
The plate itself comes in a cardboard slip, and as with other MoYou London plates it comes backed with thick plastic which stops the sharp edges.
The plate itself is 12.5cm by 6.5cm and comes with a blue plastic protective covering which you remove before using.
This is the images stamped on to paper, I used Barry M's Blue Chameleon for stamping. All of the images stamped crisp and cleanly first time.
