Peace

Hello ladies,

If I were to envision a peaceful and beatific world, white doves would traverse a glittering sky. There would be diaphanous flowers with jewels in the center. What perhaps cannot yet exist in the everyday, can be expressed on my nails.

Color Club Untamed Luxury formed the base for this look. I used white Konad special polish to stamp the dove from fauxnad plate H34. Near my tips, I positioned rainbow white flowers from the Art Club Boudoir Collection. To the center of each flower, I added a blue pearl.











After viewing other on-line swatches with three coats, I decided to paint four coats of Untamed Luxury. The jelly formula maintained its high gloss and there was no visible nail line. The color dried relatively quickly with a fast dry topcoat. I will caution to be certain to apply this shade evenly. Though it's lovely with three coats, I feel it's worth the effort to go to four, especially given the quick dry time.

Untamed Luxury is both the namesake and the jewel of the collection.

This polish was sent to me for review. The Untamed Luxury Collection is available for purchase at victoriasnailsupply.com. The Boudoir Collection was provided for my consideration. This kit can be purchased from enailsupply.com. For a chance to win the Boudoir Collection and Technicolor Doll nail art kit, stop by the Art Club: Black, White and Bold Giveaway.

Happy painting, ladies!

  5. I have placed my order for the new, fall Color Clubs. I just couldn't wait for them to get into the retail store.

    Not only is the blue polish simply tranquil, but adding the peace doves gives it a nirvana feel. Yes, Peace!

  7. What a beautiful polish! I wish I included it in my last order. The doves look so pretty too. Really envious of your stamping ability. I don't use konad as often as I should since I'm such a perfectionist and my stamping doesn't look as neat as yours.
