Vintage roses, I think.

Hello there!

Todays post is all about vintage roses and yeah Im not sure if my mani is "vintage" enough but well.

Here it is: 

On my index and pinky finger I have a franken polish of my own creation. I mixed some of Casino Royale by OPI and a gold flaked polish together. I couldnt capture the gold sparkle in those photos for life but its pretty nonetheless. On my middle and ring finger I started off with a thick coat of Essie Blanc (that reminds me I have to buy a refill), then placed striping tape to get the look followed by one thick coat of my black unnamed polish. I did the roses with IsaDora Power Pink, OPI Casino Royale and the gold flaked polish. leaves are done with some acrylic paints.

How do you like this mani? 

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

*All of the nail polish I own I bought with my own money or received as a gift from friends, I don't get paid for any reviews, it's just my own thoughts.

Abstract nail art.

Hello there lovelies!

How is your weekend going? Mine if fiiiiiiiine, loving a free day to do what I want :) For todays post I have for you a treat - me doing some free hand nail art. I said "threat" cause I dont usually go for free hand when it comes to nail art (besides maybe a gradient cause Im comfortable with it) and rather stamp something instead.

Well today is not the case, I decided to play around with my acrylic paints and do something funny :)

Now, the whole manicure is done with acrylic paints, besides the base which is Essie Blanc. I wasnt exactly going for a special pattern, I just got some paint on my brush and started to paint without even thinking much about it. The only thing I wanted was that it looks like an abstract print - if that makes any sense.

(sorries about the blurry picture too)

I loved the look to be honest, it may not be much but I liked how bold the colors are and will definitely do something similar with the same palette - maybe will even find similar polishes to those and think about something then? Tell me what do you think about this manicure!

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

A bit of acrylic paint?

So, acrylic paint for nails - yes or no? I bought a set yesterday Traditional Craft Paint "Forest Life":

From left to right: Provence Yellow, Bamboo, Java, Sauge (says "Sage" on the bottle), Forest and Walnut.


When I was finished with the nails it was too late to make any decend pictures so I had to wait until today. Well here they come :) I made a little green "ombre" on my thombs and ring fingers, came out like this:

I did put some tape stripes over and painted all of my finger nails with IsaDora "Cool Camel".

On the first picture something happened with the light (it was cloudy that time) and the second one was made when it was sunny. Second picture is more accurate to real life effect. 

So, what do you guys think? Would you use acrylic paint to decorate your nails?
