Summer Challenge day 14 - Gardening

Yes, I skipped day 13 cause I felt very uncreative. Im still feeling this way even though I came up with a pretty nice nail art for today. (read yesterday cause Im late with it) No more babbling, here is my design:


My boyfriend said that those remind him of passion fruit but I dont know, I kind of went for flowers but either way it suits the theme :) I tried one stroke technique and I like it. Simple and the effect is gorgeous!


Its my first ever attempt at one stroke nail art so its not prefect! Im just going to keep on practicing and it will be ok :)

Polishes I used were:
Nordic Cap NP07
Nordic Cap NP11
(both yet to swatch)
Mavala 49 White
Broadway NailArt Paint black
+ top coat

Did you like the design I came up with?

Summer Challenge day 12 - HOT HOT HOT combo

Im so angry right now.. I was writing a post and then my internet connection just went to hell. Lost my WHOLE post and I wrote so nicely! :( Now I gave up and Im only gonna put up my manis! Here it is, day 12 of the summer challenge. HOT HOT HOT!


Well.. This isnt that hot but well :) I recently purchased 5 nail polishes of a Swedish company called "NORDIC CAP of Sweden" and among them was this gorgeous nude color with a bit of shimmer in it. I knew that this polish was going to be the first one to swatch and I promise Ill swatch it in near future but now I used it as a base for this mani.


As I was doing my mani I thought to myself "What havent I done in a while?" and the answer to it was french tips! I didnt want my mani to be boring so I made my french tips with gradient. I quite like how it turned out to be, do you?

Polishes I used were:
Nordic Cap NP06 (those has no names, just numbers)
Nordic Cap NP07
China Glaze Hey Sailor
Jessica Pure Platinum
Broadway Nailart Paint black
+ top coat

I also added a simple slower to my thumbs and ring fingers.

Summer Challenge day 11 - Pink + Blue day

Pink and blue - this combo is just awesome.
So many ideas, so little finger nails! So I decided that for todays mani Ill do a water marble. I love it. Colors got mixed up somehow and I got a hint of purple in there :) I added some dots to make the mani even more fun, heres the result:


On my middle finger my top coat smeared the biggest dot so I just painted it over and added more top coat he he, yes I got lazy!



Polishes I used were:
Depend Pink Neon (the polish is very old and the number on it is no longer there)

Jessica King Tut's Gem
+ top coat

So, how did you like my water marbling?

Summer Challenge day 10 - Queens Diamond Jubilee

This is my day 10 of the Summer Challenge:


I didnt plan this but the picture shows a foil effect and I have no idea why. I used a silver metallic and silver glitter over it so I guess my camera just freaked out from all of the glitter. This doesnt look like foil in real life at all, its just metallic with lots of glitter on it!


You can see the real effect a bit on my index finger. This picture shows it all better than the first one but I dont own a pro camera so my pictures are what they are :) Anyways it does remind me of Queens jewels. Looks like lots of really tiny diamonds all over my nails. How can I not love it?

Polishes I used:
Depend 223 (thats the silver metallic I talked about here and here, I finally found it!)
Depend 047

Depend 313

Today I have a really pretty polish to show you! Its Depend 313 - a deep "blurple" with green/turquoise shimmer. Just look at it:


I made the pic this way to show you this awesome shimmer. The combination is just so pretty, Im not sure if I want to take it off for tomorrows summer challenge! :)
Formula of this polish was perfect to work with. Full opacity with 2 coats (second coat I made a bit thick to get that deep shade).


I just love this color combo :)
And how about you guys? Tried it yet? Did you like it?

Summer Challenge day 9 - Jubilee Street Party

My day 9 of the summer challenge is very simple but I really like how it turned out :) I decided to go for balloons and conffetti - its so festive! Blah, blah, here is the mani:


My nails are nowhere near the balloon shape but shhh :D Otherwise my mani is very festive and I just love the effect. I couldnt really capture how much the glitter polish shines in the sunlight  cause my camera would just freak out and be very stubborn not to show the gorgeous colors underneath the glitter.



This awesome polish from Jessica that Im holding is Krystal Pink. As you can see its little pink glitter and silver erm block glitter? (how do u guys call this kind of blocky glitter?) in a clear base. I have to say that my Jessica polishes are VERY old.. like at least 3 years old but they are still like new ones! I swear! They didnt get even little more thick, they arent runny or anything. Like I said, good as new! I couldnt believe when I opened bottle but like I suspected - still perfect :)

Polishes I used:
Viva la Diva 26
H&M Coral
IsaDora Surfers Paradise (which Im yet to swatch cause its so so soooo pretty!)
Viva la Diva 126
(on my thumb I have H&M Purple)
Jessica Krystal Pink over all
+ top coat

I have no idea if my nails are appropriate for todays theme but I really do hope so :D

I didnt focus the camera here so I could show you one of my jewels - Jessica Pure Platinum.

Polishes I used:
Jessica King Tut's Gem
Jessica Pure Platinum

The effect with silver glitter reminds me of water a lot! :)
