Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I seem to have a bit of an obsession with IBD gel polishes at the moment but truth be told, it is one of my all time favorite brands. The soak off and wearability are excellent and the colour range means there is something for everyone and since the launch of the Nude Collection, there are now 8 gorgeous nude shades to choose from.<br />
<br />

I don't have the full nude collection yet but I do have three of them and my favourite is currently But First... which is a beautiful cream toned nude which I absolutely love against my skintone. I completed the other nails using my favorite IBD Siberian Minx which I covered with the gorgeous Anastasia from Magpie Beauty. This champangne nude is fast becoming a go to for me along with Wendy and Lily.</div>

This manicure was totally inspired by a fellow nail tech Helena from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_beautyhut_bournemouth/" target="_blank">The Beauty Hut</a>. I instantly <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BTeoOTqjMQ1/?taken-by=the_beautyhut_bournemouth" target="_blank">fell in love with her original of this manicure</a> and from that point I was counting down the days until I could file down my nails so this Uber Chic image would fit. Yes, a tad drastic I know but I love my nails being shorter as it opens up 90% of my stamping plates which I can't usually use on my own nails.</div>

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Bright colours always make me smile and none moreso than this stunning neon orange from IBD called Infinitely Curious.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create this super quick mani I applied three easy coats of Infinitely Curious and covered with one thin coat of IBD Celfie in Amalfi which is a really lovely gold shard glitter in a clear base so it works as a fantastic topper for all other colours in the IBD range.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Orange isn't a colour that I wear often but I love it everytime I do! Infinitely Curious works perfectly with my new shorter round nails and my infinitely black wardrobe as it adds a no nonsense zing to my outfits.</div>

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Summer has been busy in the Simply Into My Nails Studio and the beautiful Summer Collection from Magpie Beauty have been very popular.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Obviously I couldn't get away with wearing just one of these beauties so I applied all six shades in this gorgeous rainbow gradient over IBD Carte Blanche, a gorgeous creamy stark white gel polish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was the perfect way to show the amazing shimmer and shine of each of these phenomenal glitters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pf5FiivwzYY/WY2TWxL6qOI/AAAAAAABCEU/osyhYr78C8AyyJhx9EZ4MkobYuqd16LQACLcBGAs/s1600/Simply%2BInto%2BMy%2BNails_Magpie%2BBeauty%2BSummer%2BCollection%2B2017_04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1171" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pf5FiivwzYY/WY2TWxL6qOI/AAAAAAABCEU/osyhYr78C8AyyJhx9EZ4MkobYuqd16LQACLcBGAs/s1600/Simply%2BInto%2BMy%2BNails_Magpie%2BBeauty%2BSummer%2BCollection%2B2017_04.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I applied two coats of IBD Carte Blanche and then dabbed on these diamond glitters in the following order:<br />
<br />
<b>EMMA </b>- Pastel Pink<br />
<b>BECKY</b> - Pastel Orange<br />
<b>HANNAH </b>- Pastel Yellow<br />
<b>CLAIRE </b>- Pastel Green<br />
<b>SAM</b> - Pastel Blue<br />
<b>LISA </b>- Pastel Purple<br />
<br />
I then applied a coat of topcoat and then applied a second coat of the glitters so they would pop more against my skintone.<br />
<br />
<br />

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a gorgeous collection of fantastic summer shades to show you from IBD. This is the new Destination Colour Collection which were kindly sent to me.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to show you my swatches of the 8 shades which form this years summer collection.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Singapore Your Heart Out is one of my favorites from the collection. It is an orange toned yellow which a fantastic creamy formula, something notoriously hard to find - an easy to apply non patchy yellow. <br />
<br />
Singapore Your Heart Out is a tad more orange than my picture shows. It is very similar to the yellow in the well known Mastercard logo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My swatch shows 3 coats which covered perfectly. None of my clients have been brave enough to try Singapore Your Heart Out yet but it is firmly on my radar for an upcoming mani for myself. It is gorgeous.<br />
<br />
EDITED: A week after posting my client selected Singapore Your Heart Out. Such a fabulous colour<br />

Melbourne To Travel is a gorgeous neon peach shade. It really is beautiful and has been popular with clients who have either chosen it immediately or have bagsied it for their upcoming summer holidays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My swatch shows 4 coats. I find the formula quite tricky and it does take some work to get it opaque (my swatch could have done with at least another coat) but once you get there it is totally worth it. I ended up wearing this swatch for almost two weeks I loved it that much!</div>

What an absolute STUNNER of a polish. Berlin & Out is a gorgeously bright neon red which leans slightly on the coral side of red. It is b-r-i-g-h-t and has been so popular with my ladies!!!! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hong Kong Highlife is another stand out polish from this collection. It such a beautiful shade of neon purple which really stands out from the crowd and is perfect if you want to make a statement with your manicure but still want to keep the colour within the more traditional shades.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My swatch shows 4 coats. Hong Kong Highlife has an easy to control formula but does take quite a few coats to reach opacity especially if you have a very visible nail line. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The crelly (cream and jelly) formula makes Hong Kong Highlife incredibly shiny and I found myself staring at this polish constantly when I wore my swatch for a week.... I couldn't bring myself to take this beauty off.</div>

London Layover is a pretty lilac which is way more pigmented than the other lilac toned gel polishes in my collection which makes it very unique. The subtle blue shimmer running through it adds a bit of depth to London Layover and I also think it helps with making the formula easy to apply.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Dublin or Nothing is a really fresh minty blue green with a super shiny crelly finish.<br />
<br />
My swatch shows 4 coats. I found this crelly formula a little patchy on my nails but it is very easy to apply. I found an opaque finish was easier to achieve on my clients who have brighter nail beds and shorter nails.<br />

<br />
Last but not least we have Buenos Dias Barcelona, a sheer off white crelly. Buenos Dias Barcelona is the sheerest polish in the collection and I struggled to cover my nail line so I stopped at 4 coats.<br />
<br />
I think this polish would be perfect as a base underneath Ivory Tower or underneath nail art such as stamping or glitter. It would make a fantastic canvass for a Christmas themed pond manicure.<br />
<br />
My swatch shows 4 coats.<br />
<br />
EDITED: I can confirm that Ivory Tower works perfectly over Buenos Dias Barcelona!<br />

I am very happy with the Destination Collection and I am so pleased that <a href="https://www.graftons.co.uk/shop-brands/professional/ibd/seasonal-collections/ibd-destination-colour" target="_blank">Graftons sent me this collection to try</a>.<br />
<br />
All of the colours are unique within my collection of IBD gel polishes and the fact that they also come in Advanced Wear lacquer makes them perfect for those who prefer not to wear gel polish on their toes or if clients wish to wear a regular polish manicure but not miss out on these fantastic colours.<br />

Oh my goodness - it is sweltering here in the UK. I'm not going to complain because I am a true sun-worshiper. Long may it continue I say, and what better way to celebrate the sunshine than with another summery manicure.<br />

This hot weather has perfectly coincided with the release of the new Dixie Summer plate which obviously I had to grab as soon as it was released. I chose these gorgeous tropical flowers to create a simple blue and white manicure which has been a joy to wear.</div>

After reshaping my nails (the tapered square was short-lived) - I applied three coats of IBD Riviera Rendezvous a pigmented almost royal blue with purple undertones. I also applied three coats of IBD Carte Blanche which I stamped with <a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/a2z-series-v-is-for-valuable.html" target="_blank">AEngland Mary Queen of Scots - a beautifully pigmented navy shimmer</a>.</div>

I then dabbed Magpie Angelina glitter into the tacky layer of IBD Siberian Minx which worked perfectly as a base for the glitter.</div>

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would try something different today and mix matte gel polish with ultra shiny holographic nail foils for this ultra bright manicure which certainly grabs attention in the sunshine and on a cloudy day - it almost burns my eyes it's so <i>b-r-i-g-h-t</i>!!!!<br />
<br /></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create this manicure, I applied three coats of GelBottle 111 a searing pinky coral which looks so juicy and beautiful on the nails. I think this colour would create the perfect beach holiday nails and it looks just as gorgeous with shiny topcoat as it does matte, which is what I decided to have today for a change.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the accent nail, I applied two coats of GelBottle 001 which is a stark white polish. I then dabbed the beautiful pink holographic foil into the tacky inhibition layer of the polish before applying a nice floaty coat of shiny topcoat.</div>
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really pleased with the end result of this manicure. It was incredibly quick and easy to do but is far more interesting than just a plain one colour manicure.<br />
<br />
I wasn't the only one bowled over by this fabulous neon and foil combination as one of my lovely clients quickly earmarked this design for her current manicure.<br />

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back again to show you another recent manicure. It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago so I fancied something feminine to wear to see me ring in another year. <br />
<br />
I am a lover of pink and a huge lover of skittlette manicures so I figured I would combine the two as I knew this mani was going to be on my nails for a while I figured it should be something I wouldn't grow tired of after ermmm a mere 30 minutes!</div>

<br />
<br />
I created this manicure by applying three coats of <a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/sparkling-holographic-valentines-day.html" target="_blank">IBD Ooh La Lace</a> and two coats of <a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=ivory+tower" target="_blank">Ivory Tower</a> which I applied over a single coat of IBD Carte Blanche to make Ivory Tower more opaque, I also applied <a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/ibd-hideaway-haven-collecion-swatches.html" target="_blank">IBD Calm Oasis</a> using four thin coats, I can't remember it taking four coats when I swatched it but this time around it took that number of coats in order to get the finish I wanted.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
To tie the manicure together I stamped all of the nails apart from the ring fingers using <a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=florality" target="_blank">Moyra Florality </a>1 which is a gorgeous plate containing lots of pretty and delicate floral images which are perfect for this type of subtle and delicate manicure.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some bling to bring this manicure to life with the help of <a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=magpie" target="_blank">Magpie </a>Millie which I dabbed over a couple of coats of IBD Ivory Tower.</div>

I am really happy with how this manicure turned out! It so happens it was also rather a big hit with <b><a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/p/my-clients.html" target="_blank">my clients</a></b> who all commented on how much they liked it and wanted it on their nails.<br />

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been super busy again but luckily I have still found time to make sure I do my own nails, even if I am about two or three manicures behind now on my blog! <br />
<br />
This gorgeous chrome creation was a little something I threw together about a month ago and looking at it again now makes me want to have it right back on my nails....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I created this manicure by applying two coats of IBD Catwalk Alley, I would have used black but I don't own IBD Black Lava so I used Catwalk Alley instead as it is super pigmented, dark and a little warmer than a straight black.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--vY44UxI2xM/WSyZV8O7BtI/AAAAAAAA8vQ/chNR_6qBNnISuzrkcGbpXthP-jrQKHb4ACLcB/s1600/Simply%2BInto%2BMy%2BNails_Chameleon%2BChrome_DP10%2B11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1575" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--vY44UxI2xM/WSyZV8O7BtI/AAAAAAAA8vQ/chNR_6qBNnISuzrkcGbpXthP-jrQKHb4ACLcB/s1600/Simply%2BInto%2BMy%2BNails_Chameleon%2BChrome_DP10%2B11.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
After applying topcoat I removed the tacky layer by dry wiping with a lint free pad. Next, I rubbed in Born Pretty Chameleon Chrome pigment to the top half of the nail (red to gold multi-chrome shift) and then applied a different coloured pigment (blue to purple multi-chrome shift) to the second half (mid to lower section) and blended the two pigments together along the line of demarcation.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
After applying the pigment I reached for my trusty DP10 Dixie Plate which has been like my best friend for the past few months. I use it so much for my clients manicures. I can't wait for my DP11 and Summer Plates to arrive next week. Whoop whoop!!!<br />

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a real soft spot for blue polish, the brighter the better. I have <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BJpRrDOhVz3/?taken-by=simplyintomynails" target="_blank">previously worn OPI Fearlessly Alice</a> in regular polish but this zingy electric blue was calling my name - LOUDLY!! <br />
<br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out this little stunner! <br />
<br />
For this manicure I used two deliciously creamy coats of OPI GelColor Fearlessly Alice. Fearlessly Alice is a beautiful vibrant cerulean blue and I absolutely love the colour.....but I wanted a little something extra! I needed some chrome in my nail-life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a fair few trials the decision was finally made - this mani called for the gorgeous Magpie Vera Dust which I chromed into the dry wiped colour coats. I didn't fancy soaking off three coats of topcoat. I am really pleased with the way it turned out, the pink iridescent sheen is super pretty.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To finish the mani I created the flower feature nail using UberChic 4-01 plate. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped in white over OPI GelColor Oh My Majesty! which like the other nails, was also chromed with Magpie Vera. I then used yellow, orange, pink and purple sharpie pens to fill in the flower. I then diluted the sharpies with IPA to soften the colours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally, I stamped over the previously stamped image but this time I used black to create a bold outline over the sharpie colours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">I love the end result, the addition of Magpie Vera really adds something special to this manicure, especially in the sunlight!! </span></div>

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
After the past few weeks of pastels and nail art I felt the urge to wear something plain and simple.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-udXtSFOpdFw/WQdw-lt41DI/AAAAAAAA7vg/mPlC0mAIzxgRmP9fSeRxxFvMFjXwxQmWgCLcB/s1600/Simply%2BInto%2BMy%2BNails_Glam%2B%2526%2BGlits%2BInk_Juicy%2BMelons%2B148_02a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-udXtSFOpdFw/WQdw-lt41DI/AAAAAAAA7vg/mPlC0mAIzxgRmP9fSeRxxFvMFjXwxQmWgCLcB/s1600/Simply%2BInto%2BMy%2BNails_Glam%2B%2526%2BGlits%2BInk_Juicy%2BMelons%2B148_02a.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my current reliance on easy to remove brands I picked out one of favorite brands, Ink by Glam & Glits. This is not a brand that I wear often because I only have about 20 polishes but it is one of my big loves in gel polish. The colours are so vibrant and soak off super easily just like IBD and they wear very well which is a major plus point even though I only plan to wear this this mani for a few days over the bank holiday weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-87Ozhhu6mx8/WQdwpu9eC3I/AAAAAAAA7vc/yqJqYNtfhmAjd0iHs79sIuwJdLKdCdZ_ACLcB/s1600/Simply%2BInto%2BMy%2BNails_Glam%2B%2526%2BGlits%2BInk_Juicy%2BMelons%2B148_03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-87Ozhhu6mx8/WQdwpu9eC3I/AAAAAAAA7vc/yqJqYNtfhmAjd0iHs79sIuwJdLKdCdZ_ACLcB/s1600/Simply%2BInto%2BMy%2BNails_Glam%2B%2526%2BGlits%2BInk_Juicy%2BMelons%2B148_03.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I applied two coats of Juicy Melons over my recently shortened nails. I could have done with applying a third coat but to be fair it doesn't look too bad with just the two and less coats mean an even faster soak off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend I have been bleating on about the importance of following a sound aftercare regimen. I am often receiving comments about the good condition and length of my nails. I believe that wearing back to back gel manicures for over 4 years have done my nails a lot of good in terms of achieving growth and I am able to maintain the length by using a good quality cuticle/nail oil several times a day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In addition to this, I do not use my nails as tools. Also, I have never been one to peel off my gel polish manicures. Peeling off gel is proven to wreak havoc on natural nails, removing layers of the nail plate along with the gel polish that is peeled off. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The result for me is strong and healthy nails. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't stress enough the importance of using a good nail oil underneath gel polish or on bare nails. My favorite nail oils are Dadi Oil, OPI Avoplex, CND Rescue RXX and Lush Lemony Flutter.</div>

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I'm back again to share with you this beautiful minty green polish from OPI - That's Hula-rious.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a real thing for green polish and OPI That's Hula-rious ticks all the right boxes for me.<br />
<br />
To create this manicure I applied three coats of OPI GelColor That's Hularious before stamping the ring fingers and thumbs of both hands using Dixie Plate DP10 (<i>again!</i>). <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
What can I say, I am in deep love this the blossom image on this plate, it is incredibly versatile. In fact, I have used it more than once on clients recently, an example of which is below and is the manicure of mine that I copied for my current mani.<br />
<br />

It took a few days because I absolutely loved wearing my pale yellow gel polish manicure but I couldn't help myself because this blossom design from Dixie Plate DP10 is just stunning and versatile.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I stamped using Esmaltes da Kelly Faisca Light Brown Stamping Polish which is more olive toned than brown so not too harsh against the pastel yellow background. <br />
<br />
I then used Nail Stamping Queen White for the blossom and for the dotting detail in the flowers I used OPI Sorry I'm Fizzy Today and <a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/review-morgan-taylor-neon-lights.html" target="_blank">Morgan Taylor Don't Worry Be Brilliant from the Neon Lights Collection</a>.<br />

I have another fabulous spring/summer shade to share with you today. This time it's yellow! Not a colour I often wear but one I absolutely love when I do have it on my nails.<br />

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Wow, what an absolutely fabulous feeling it is to be writing this blog post in the UK sunshine. It seems summer has come early (for a few days) and I for one am lapping up this surprise sunshine and what better opportunity to try out another LeChat Mood polish. This time I chose one from the new collection a beautiful blush (<i>warm</i>) to periwinkle (<i>cold</i>) combination.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create this manicure, I applied two easy coats of LeChat Breathtaking. It still always freaks me out when I'm applying thermal polishes with a nude warm transition colour because the coverage always looks weird at first and when applying the second coat it goes on a lighter shade even though the colour on the brush is dark because the polish is cold inside the bottle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to see how Breathtaking looked when teamed with glitter and stamping so I applied a sparkly transulcent coat of Magpie Glitter Lilly which is a much loved glitter that works with pretty much every colour. With a colour transition combo such as this one of Breathtaking Lilly worked perfectly with both the blush tone and periwinkle shade but also worked with the in between transition shade so it was the perfect choice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uMj1XQe-abM/WOkQASvDIlI/AAAAAAAA6uY/bihI2o5y5fAFGidJnbfivvgS0dWIHnCIQCLcB/s1600/moyra_stamping_plate_10%2Ba.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uMj1XQe-abM/WOkQASvDIlI/AAAAAAAA6uY/bihI2o5y5fAFGidJnbfivvgS0dWIHnCIQCLcB/s640/moyra_stamping_plate_10%2Ba.jpg" width="414" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also wanted to stamp over this polish with an image that works with both colours and using a polish which complimented and contrasted in equal measure. I used <a href="http://www.2truecosmetics.com/pro-metallica-nail-polish-athena-3/" target="_blank">2True Metalica Athena</a> which is a beautiful steely blue and I picked one of my favorite images from the Moyra Florality 2 plate, a stunning but delicate orchid design.</div>

LeChat Breathtaking is like all of <a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=lechat+mood" target="_blank">the other LeChat Mood Polishes I have tried</a> is extremely sensitive to both warm and cold temperatures which is great for me as I am generally always cold but still I am often treated to the vivid transition between both colours of this unique mood polish.</div>

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Finally <i>(I think),</i> I am back to share with you Look 3 of this mini series of manicures created working with the same Siberian Minx based accent nails.</div>

<br />
After removing <a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/ibd-sundance_28.html" target="_blank">Look 2</a> I applied two delicious coats of LeChat Mood polish in the shade Wicked Love. <br />
<br />
Wicked Love is a thermal polish which changes from a coral toned pink when warm to a deep purple when cold. Suspended in the polish are pretty little gold flecks which work perfectly with both colours and during its transition between the two shades.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I took the opportunity to use the newest stamping plate in my collection, the absolutely beautiful <a href="http://www.nailstampingqueenuk.co.uk/PRE-ORDER_Dixie_Plate_DP-10_Spring/p3767074_17181962.aspx" target="_blank">DP10 from Dixie Plates</a>. <br />
<br />
There are so many stunning feminine images to choose from and I felt that the slightly retro looking third image worked best with both shades of the thermal polish and almost covered the accent nails to give Siberian Minx a completely different look to <b><a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/ibd-chic-to-chic-petla-toro.html" target="_blank">Look 1</a></b> and <b><a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/ibd-sundance_28.html" target="_blank">Look 2 </a></b>of this base manicure.<br />

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back with '<a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/ibd-sundance_28.html" target="_blank">Look 2</a>' of my previous manicure and this time I went for an ice-cream/sorbet shade called Sundance from one of my favourite brands, IBD Just Gel Polish.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create this manicure (after soaking off <a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/ibd-chic-to-chic-petla-toro.html" target="_blank">Look 1 - IBD Chic To Chic</a>) I applied Sundance to five fingernails and kept Siberian Minx on my other five nails. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It took 4 coats to get a nice opaque finish without any visible streaks. Alas, this is one of the pitfalls of alot of pastel shades, but for this shade the extra coats were worth it. That said, I don't think I would envisage ever using this shade for a full manicure as three coats is generally my limit as extra coats increase the initial service time and the subseqent soak off time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xQ4z75Pv6xo/WNgwxIXKdPI/AAAAAAAA6Bc/YIy_uX2D2tkE93Vvk3Dr8sdgKIPKEHCpgCLcB/s1600/Simply%2BInto%2BMy%2BNails_IBD%2BSundance_Apipila%2BSuper%2BPlate%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xQ4z75Pv6xo/WNgwxIXKdPI/AAAAAAAA6Bc/YIy_uX2D2tkE93Vvk3Dr8sdgKIPKEHCpgCLcB/s1600/Simply%2BInto%2BMy%2BNails_IBD%2BSundance_Apipila%2BSuper%2BPlate%2B3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To tie in the existing accent nails, I removed the temporary stamping and re-stamped the Siberian Minx nails with Kaleidoscope by El Corazon Stamping Polish in the shade Apple Flower. Apple Flower is a delicious pale peach which matches IBD Sundance perfectly! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used one of my many overlooked but much loved stamping plates Apipila Super Plate B to finish the look. I opted for a tile'esque flower image and covered with <a href="https://www.nail-artisan.co.uk/shop/nail-polish/love-angeline-topped-with-love-top-coat" target="_blank">Love Angeline Topped With Love</a> a super glossy fast drying regular polish topcoat so I could change the stamping again for Look 3.</div>

I love how this manicure turned out and really enjoyed wearing it! It was very easy to wear but eye-catching enough to get a fair few admiring comments. In fact, a dear <a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/p/my-clients.html" target="_blank">client</a> of mine has asked for this to be her next gel polish manicure!<br />

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
This manicure almost brings me up to date as this is what I was wearing at the beginning of this week. I have enlisted one of my all time favourite brands IBD Just Gel Polish <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7ucgyUVGxk&t=1181s">as the removal time is truly remarkable</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
To create this manicure I used IBD Chic to Chic a gorgeous bright pink with purple undertones. I wanted to also wear another polish which would go with other colours and after a rummage through my IBD drawers I quickly decided on Siberian Minx, a beautiful fine champagne glitter polish which goes with everything.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I opted for a striking design for the stamping and the Toro plate from Petla was perfect for this manicure.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
My plan for the next week or so is to wear a colour for a few days and remove it and apply another spring/summer inspired colour. To do this easily I am wearing regular polish basecoat (All That Jazz or OPI Nail Evny) underneath my gel polish colour. I have not found a peel off basecoat which does not cause damage to my nails so at the moment this is the least damaging option for me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am currently nursing a broken pinky nail on my swatching (left) hand which completely ripped off right down to the quick. I repaired the nail using Gel II Foundation and Gel II Glass and you can't tell the difference between that nail and my others. I want to keep the repair on as long as possible so I will file it down every two weeks and infill. </div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
To see me through the next week I will be keeping the Siberian Minx nails (x 5) as is and using a series of temporary stamping to tie in each manicure.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>

<br />
<br />
One of my favorite things to do is to not be completely matchy matchy with my nails, it must be the rule breaker in me....so for this set of nails I have the opposites on each hand and I must say I am totally loving it!<br />
<br />
Now.....what colour to wear next.<br />

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
This is the manicure I created to wear last week. I was undecided on green or blue so reached for Gel II Reaction thermal polish despite this range being a complete nightmare to remove.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I applied three coats of gel polish but I applied two coats of regular polish basecoat first so as to act as a barrier between the gel polish and my natural nails. I only intended to keep this manicure on for a week so this was the perfect solution to the tedious removal process.<br />
<br />
I finished the manicure with a coat of Magpie Bluebell and a stamped feature nail using an image from Dixie Plates.</div>

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Lava nails is a manicure I have wanted to revisit ever since I created <a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/lava-nail-gel-polish-manicure-featuring.html">this bright version using IBD gel polishes</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this manicure I used a gorgeous neutral grey gel polish by Gel Bottle #V88 which has been very popular with my clients. I like to call this colour 'putty' because I can't stand that the GelBottle colours do not have names.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create the lava nail I started with a pale pink and covered with several alternate layers of pastels in the colours of my choice - pink, lilac, blue and the putty shade which is on my other nails. I then removed the final inhibition layer and filed through the layers to reveal an abstract pattern. I then shaped the nail and topcoated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The method I used can be found by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6z_9YJc7wo">clicking this link</a>.</div>

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm sharing this delicious pink manicure which I teamed with a chameleon flakie feature nail.<br />

I created this manicure using OPI GelColor Mad For Madness Sake which is a lovely blue toned fuchsia pink. For the feature nail I dabbed Brillbird Russian Gold Chrome Flakie into the cured gel polish before topcoating twice for an extra smooth end result.</div>

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So first up in my recap of recent manicures and this time I chose this medley of brown gel polishes.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I created this manicure using OPI GelColor Shh..It's Top Secret, a wonderfully opaque deep rich brown which reminds me of plain chocolate. I then applied OPI GelColor Going My Way Or Norway? which is a fabulous toffee brown shade which is almost the same colour as my skin and creates the perfect mannequin hands look against my skintone. I then created a marble effect over Going My Way Or Norway using Sharpie pens and topcoated with OPI GelColor Matte Topcoat.<br />
<br />
I finished the manicure with GelBottle #214.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I loved wearing this manicure. Not very many of my clients ever pick brown but I think this manicure certainly made a few of them more open to the idea of trying it sometime.<br />

Hi NaiLovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I have not posted any of my manicures on my blog since way back in December, I have actually been doing my nails fairly regularly despite going through a three week '<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BPLeduwAxaJ/?taken-by=simplyintomynails">nail funk</a>' where I didn't want to do my nails and wore a plain builder gel overlay for 3 whole weeks straight! <br />
<br />
Luckily, I took pictures of all of my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/simplyintomynails/">manicures</a> so I've decided to pop a few pictures on my blog so I can always find a picture of these colours if I need it for future reference... <br />

The manicure above was created directly after coming out of my nail funk at the end of January. I loved creating this manicure and tried something which I wasn't sure would work. I wanted a darker berry toned glitter to tie in with the other pink tones used in my manicure so I created the bespoke colour on my index finger by using Magpie Ella and covering her with a light coat of a dark burgundy shade with a jelly formula. I finished the manicure with a beautiful image from Dixie Plates.<br />

<br />
This blue chrome and embossed snowflake manicure was a pre-Christmas creation using GelBottle black and Magpie Two Faced Dust which I chromed over no wipe topcoat. I then stamped snowflakes using Dixie Plate and MoYou snowflake images and sugared Magpie Blossom over the snowflake which I first outlined using OPI gel paints.<br />

<br />
I absolutely loved wearing this manicure in the lead up to Christmas. It was a simple design with stamped middle finger, glitter polish on the pinky nail and a hand drawn christmas tree on my ring finger. The addition of a matte index nail tied this manicure together perfectly.<br />

One of my favourite colours is pink so what better colour to choose to see me through the Christmas period. This manicure went with absolutely everything I wore and looked simply fabulous at the same time. <br />

<br />
And to end my little recap, this right here is hands down one of my Top 3 manicures I have ever posted on my blog! My little nephew came over to visit shortly after I had escaped my 'nail funk' and wanted to paint 'Auntie Tracey's nails' so I gave him one of my most pigmented OPI polishes and let him get to work. He renamed my studio '<b><i>Fancy Nails</i></b>' (great name by the way!) and renamed himself 'Mr Fancy'. I think he did a great job and with a little clean up I was actually happy wearing this for the rest of the day - and that included going out in public!<br />
<br />
<br />
I will be back soon to recap my past few manicures and get this blog up to date with my current manicure.<br />

Hi NaiLovelies!<br />
<br />
I've been gone a while and been super busy so my nails have taken a bit of a back seat since Halloween. They have however been treated to some lovely wear testing of the new brand in my studio Gel Bottle inc.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1s0zX6FYQBA/WCIb3fPF4mI/AAAAAAAAzPc/R8iuq_M6oEwUBVjONwxl2CGvZIZ-EhxaQCLcB/s1600/IMG_4046a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1s0zX6FYQBA/WCIb3fPF4mI/AAAAAAAAzPc/R8iuq_M6oEwUBVjONwxl2CGvZIZ-EhxaQCLcB/s1600/IMG_4046a.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The nude/pastel shades from Gel Bottle Inc. are what initially drew me in and then I quickly reaslied that these polishes apply like buttah and remove so nicely it was a no brainer to make way in my studio to introduce the brand for my clients to also enjoy.</div>

For this mainicure I am decided to use V102 'Pistachio', 019 'Vanilla' and D13 'Prosecco' which I have renamed because I can't stand the fact that these polishes have numbers and not names. I teamed these colours with this fab image from the Dixie Plate DP07 Love Plate which I recently won in a competition.<br />

I can't believe I created a halloween manicure, not usually my thing but this gorgeous Limited Edition DP05 plate was calling my name so I couldn't resist....</div>

I created this mani as an entry for a competition on the Dixie Plates Facebook Group. The remit was to double stamp a full manicure and show all 5 nails. As soon as I checked the rules I knew that whatever I created it would include the awesome friendly looking skulls on DP05 which is one of the images which initially drew me to the plate.<br />
<br />
I used the deliciously pigmented Nail Stamping Queen White polish to stamp the skulls. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
The next part was figuring out the best way to double stamp the skulls without making it look a complete mess as I knew the red stamping polish (EDK Joana) is very pigmented and shows up well over black, this manicure was created over an existing manicure of <a href="http://simplyintomynails.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/gel-bottle-inc-stars-only-shine-at-night.html" target="_blank">The GelBottle Inc. 084 Stars Only Shine At Night</a>, a delicious black cat eye effect polish.<br />
<br />
To make the design as neat as possible I decided to use the double stamping effect created by my pal Joey, where you work quickly to double stamp the images onto one stamper and then transfer the combined wet images directly onto your nails.<br />
<br />
When I finished the mani I couldn't decide on whether the effect was a mess or a success but I quickly fell in love with it and wore it over the whole weekend. It looks rather in your face but in fact it looked quite subtle in real life and appeared to be like a marbled black, red and white mani which went very well with my Autumn wardrobe.<br />

It seems this was a success as I actually went and won the competition! I am super chuffed that others liked this experimental manicure as much as I do, I'm now wishing I had been a little more thorough with the clean up.<br />
