Gradient - OPI Just Spotted The Lizard + Lady Luck by H&M

Hello ladies, today I have for you a mani that I promised to make when I swatched Lady Luck by H&M which you all can see here (you've gotta scroll down the site a bit).

I was very excited to do this cause those two polishes are so pretty and I thought they would match each other well! By the way, sorry for the tip wear, darn you Seche Vite!

This is how the gradient looks like, I think its really pretty! :) Lady Luck takes out the green shade out of Just Spotted The Lizard. the combo is awesome if you ask me. Some time ago I purchased Choose Me by Essence which is gorgeous blue-ish teal green with golden flecks and I thought it would make awesome animal print! I wasnt wrong:

This is first time I ever tried animal print so be kind! haha Even though it takes a bit of time I think its totally worth it! Im in love with it:

All of those colors are amazing together and Im really glad I did this mani :) 

Do you like animal print? Rather paint it yourself or stamp it? Let me know! :) xx Thanks for stopping by! 

Sunflowers - day 52 of the Summer Challenge!

Wow, Im on time with this one as well! :)

Todays theme is sunflowers and I thought Id go for something a bit funny, considering the challenge is all about summer so why not! 

I had an excuse to use my ugly green polish again, seemed fit for sunflowers - not that sunflowers are ugly! Anyways when I was about 7 or 8 years old I had a sunflower dress that I loved and the sunflowers had eyes and were really funny! I remember the pattern from the fabric until today so I thought why not using it as my inspiration. 

I changed the colors a bit and here it is :)

The polishes I used were:

Vollare City nr 321

Broadway Nails Nail Art Paint black & white (for the eyes)

the rest is acrylic paint

I hope you enjoy the mani as much as I do! :)

My first ever MSMD!!!

Hello ladies, I decided to participate in MSMD! Im a bit short on my free time lately so I cant really keep up with the summer challenge :( But Im eager to at least do my nails properly before every monday!

So this picture is a mystery of mine, I think one of our lovely ladies from Summer Challenge (or not?) posted it as a mani she did on her client in her saloon? Not sure! Please forgive me that I forgot but when I saw this mani I knew Im going to recreate it when I can and I forgot to spare the picture with the name of the lady that posted it!

Picture of the original design

I think she said its all made in gel (not sure though) and I love how the red, white, blue and glitter come together into one beautiful mani :) Here is my not-so-great recreation of this amazing mani:

I actually wanted to recreate it in 100% but too bad I didnt have the glitter she had so I used what I had :) Also pictures taken in 2 different day times cause the glitter I have is a pain in the neck! to photograph. Second picture taken under artificial light:

Polishes I used were:

Index finger & pinky: China Glaze Hey Sailor

Middle finger: Mavala White + Miss Selene 167

Ring finger: Mavala 49 White, Jessica King Tut's Gem 

and for the heart on the ring finger: China Glaze Hey Sailor

I truly hope I didnt offend the girl who did this mani. I hope you do read my blog or at least this post and let me know who you are so that I can credit you for this awesome work!

Turquoise, aqua or jade - summer challenge!

Hello ladies, sorry for my absence but I've been like crazy busy >.< But I missed you so Im back ;D

Im late with this challenge but here it is nonetheless:

Last time when I was using my turquoise polishes I used them with a purple - Grape pop by China Glaze and a blue - Surfers Paradise by IsaDora (in a water marble here). I really liked the combo of the colors so I did use them again but instead of Ocean Dive I used Nordic Cap NP07.

I used one coat of Grape Pop on all of my nails and while it was drying I painted pieces of scotch tape with blue, aqua and turquoise polishes. After everything was dry I just cut the tape into little stripes and stuck them on my nails! This technique I've learned from this awesome girl that has so much fantasy in doing her nails! Here you can check out the post that she used the technique with scotch tape: CLICK.

I wanted to make an accent nail so I went for good old glitter in purple and green :)

I know it all isnt perfect but well :)

Polishes I used were:

China Glaze Gape Pop

Jessica King Tut's Gem

IsaDora Ocean Dive

Nordic Cap NP07

Miss Selene Mini nr 173

+ top coat
