Inspired by..


Hello there lovelies!

Todays post features a look that was inspired by very talented Nicole that is behind the amazing blog Kiss on the Chic. If you dont already follow her, you totally should! Here is also her Instagram if you want to drool over her skills some more :)

Anyways.. This technique was the one I wanted to try since I first saw a picture of it on the internet. I thought Id not do any good when I actually sat and got to it but I was so wrong. This is really easy and you cant do anything wrong! Lovely!


My mani is nothing compared to Nicoles (which you can see here) but I still like it. Its beautiful in its simplicity.


On my index and pinky finger I used 2 coats of Wet n Wild I Need a Refresh-Mint. Base on my ring finger is Greta by Make Up Store and on my middle finger is Essie Blanc. Flowers are made by all of the polishes I named + Orly Liquid Vinyl.

I really enjoyed this manicure :) And thank you Nicole for being the non-stop inspiration for me! 

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Galaxy.. Again?!

Hey there!

Wow, it feels like its been a while. My cats has been to the vet and since then they havent been themselves so now I have to take care of them extra much. It means I basically have no time to do anything by myself anymore but who cares, the babies needs their mommy.

Yes, its another galaxy manicure, Ill not stop until I master this art. Every single time I do galaxy nails I think I could have done a better job. The perfectionist in me doesnt allow any randomness and I struggle with the nebula every time. They should be more random but its too hard! Anyways, no more rambling! Here it is:


I think the color combo is amazing, its not your regular galaxy but I love it nonetheless :) 
My base is Marina by Gina Tricot. The nebula is done with Essie Wheres My Chauffeur and Shimmer Mint by Gina Tricot followed by a thin coat of OPI Servin' Up Sparkle.


I definitely must work on my randomness but I still like the mani. How about you?

Splattery gradient.

Hey there!

Yes! I finally found some time to blog a little bit! Today I have to show you a mani that I adored - and got many compliments on :)


I started off with a gradient done with 3 OPI shades: My Vampire Is Buff, My Very First Knockwurst and A Butterfly Moment. When this was done I added a little bit of splatter onto my nails with Orly Liquid Vinyl.


What do you think about this one? You think this mani would pass as a "work-friendly?"

H&M Did I Tell You? - Swatches and review.

Hey there!

Today I have for you a little gem that made its way into my stash a while ago. Its exactly what I was looking for :) Recently H&M came up with a gorgeous idea of changing brushes in their line of nail polishes into much wider ones. Score! Their brushes were terrible! Onto the swatch then:


As you can see Did I Tell You? is a glitter topper. Clear base packed with small and medium sized hexes in rather dark blue shade (the swatches show the glitter a bit too bright) but believe me, its absolutely stunning!


I was afraid that the glitters wont come out of the bottle easily but I was wrong. Application is amazing! This is rather thicker coat of Did I Tell You? over a simple white to light blue gradient.

I also couldnt help myself and added a coat of a matte top coat.. Yummy!



I can really recommend this shade to anybody, its stunning and rather inexpensive.

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Rose fail.. Or is it?

Hey!

Todays quick post is all about a nail art that was inspired by a ton of beautiful, similar designs. Too bad that I failed when I tried to recreate it. Oh well..


For this design I used Scuba Blue by IsaDora as my base and bunch of acrylic paints for the art. 


I dont know how to feel about these... they should definitely come out better. What do you think?

Holo ombre once again!

Hey lovelies!

How are all of you today? I have for you something special. I loved the holo mani I did for Breast Cancer Awareness week which you can see here, so I recreated it with a few different colors.


As before, I used shades from 2012 Depend Holographic Collection. From left to right, the polishes are: #2030 Plum, #2031 Lavender, #2032 Denim Blue and #2033 Ocean Blue.


What do you think of this mani? I think Depends Holographic Collection is very nice consider their holo is visible enough + they stay pretty in shade!

Black Diamond by KICKS Make Up - swatches and review.

Hello there!

Its been a while since I showed you any swatches and a good shade to come back to it is one of my top 10 favorite nail polishes ever. You may wonder why is this particular shade so special? Let me show you:


This beauty is a texture shade and its called Black Diamond, how fitting :) Its a dark plum purple base with golden and pink particulates. Absolutely stunning! When left to dry to its texture finish its looks like there is even dark purple or maybe even black particulates in there as well. 


The formula is amazing, not too thin so it doesnt ruin your cuticles. This is 2 coats + one very thin coat for give the depth I like. Drying time is rather fast for a texture polish.


I couldnt help myself and I put top coat on it and OH MY this is gorgeous! Look at that:


I had to alter with the pictures a bit to show you the true shade this polish has with top coat (every time I tried to take a picture, the polish came off way too dark). If you dont think its a stunner I dont know what is.


Now you see why Black Diamond by KICKS is one of my top 10 polishes ever. But what about you? Do you like it?

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

A little bit of black.

Hey lovelies!

Todays post was suppose to be a post about my Halloween mani but an accident happened. I broke my nail. I had to cut my nails into ultra nubbins and now I have to recreate my mani cause I didnt take any pictures. So instead of make you wait even longer Im gonna show you something else I had on my nails a while back.


Ive done a gradient using Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau, IsaDora Lilac Bikini and Orly Liquid Vinyl, followed by a thin coat of Black Polka Dots by Nubar.


What do you think ladies? I really enjoyed this mani :)

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx
