I was asked by someone if the nail polishes would stain the nails. I decided to wear the Blue and Ocean ones  with three other blue polishes of similar finish (jelly/see-through) to compare.
**  Me preguntó alguien si el esmalte Mia Secret Tint se mancha las uñas. Decidí usar los azules y el océano azul con tres otros esmaltes de acabado similar (gelatina / transparente) para comparar.

Stamped with gold and silver chrome nail polishes.
Much to my surprise (and dislike), even though I put a layer of topcoat between the polish and the stamping, when I put a final layer of topcoat on the manicure, the Mia Secret colors went through and stained the stamped patterns. This means they will not work well as bases for stamping.
**  Estampado en esmaltes oro y plata cromado. Para mi sorpresa (y no les gusta), aunque puso una capa de acabado entre las uñas y el estampado, cuando pongo una capa final de acabado en la manicura, los colores Mia Secret pasó y manchadas los patrones estampados. Esto significa que no van a funcionar bien como bases para la estampación.






After removal - Nyx Girls stained the worst:
** Después de la retirada - Nyx Girls manchado peor:


 After brushing with whitening toothpaste, still some staining from the Mia Secrets:
**  Después del cepillado con pasta de dientes blanqueadora, todavía algunas manchas de Mia Secrets:



I had a base coat on, but as you can see, it didn't prevent staining. The Mia Secret stains remained on the parts of my nails that were peeling. Make sure to use a thick coat of base coat if you use them directly on your nails!
**  Había una capa de base, pero como se puede ver, no evitar que se manchen. Las manchas de Mia Secret permaneció en las partes de las uñas que estaban pelando. Asegúrese de usar una capa gruesa de la capa de base si se utilizan directamente en sus uñas!


If you'd like to try the Mia Secret Tints, I still have them available - check out my blog sale

This is one beautiful color! I love purple with gold shimmer. It reminded me of two Zoyas I have, and I've included comparison photos below.

I don't have much to say about this one - I think it would look best layered over something else.

 Oh my goodness, I didn't realize how many bottles of orange nail polish I have until now! And this is just this particular shade of the color, I still have many more! I have to move at least half of these out of my collection...  The stamped design is from Magnonails XL plate D.

I'm trying to make my collection smaller and one good way to do that is by wearing similar colors together in a manicure. Here are five similar yellows.

I just received a few new plates from Magnonails, and was itching to try the leaf pattern on plate A20 - I've ALWAYS wanted this pattern! There are two on the same plate, one is the reverse of the other, and they are larger than the full nail patterns on the XL plates.
** Acabo de recibir algunas nuevas placas de Magnonails, y estaba ansioso por probar el patrón de la hoja de placa A20 - Siempre he querido este patrón! Hay dos en la misma placa, una es el reverso de la otra, y son más grandes que los patrones de uñas completo en las placas XL.

Nyx Girls - Alaskan Wild

APPLICATION: Smooth
COATS: 2, although 3 would have been better
TOPCOAT?: Only in sunlight photo.
SOURCE: Nail supply store in downtown Los Angeles
COMMENTS: I purchased a number of green, blue, and blue-green Nyx Girls polish the last time I was at the store downtown as I had never seen them before. This is a gorgeous green that was hard to capture on camera in the artificial light (my camera kept making it look like it had more yellow in it). I created an accent nail with Nyx Girls - Emerald Forest, which is absolutely stunning. I'll have to wear that one in a full manicure sometime.


Two coats, no topcoat:



Sunlight the next day - with topcoat and most color accurate:

Unfortunately this green stained my nails (especially my middle finger), so double up on topcoat if you have this one.

Nyx Girls - Woman

APPLICATION: Smooth
COATS: 2
TOPCOAT?: Only after adding Nyx Girls - Fame
SOURCE: Nail supply in downtown Los Angeles
COMMENTS: This is one gorgeous glass fleck/glitter/shimmer red - so gorgeous it glows! I topped the tips with Fame - a glitter that turned out to be disappointingly sparse. Woman is definitely a winner though!
