Sat-ART-Day: Vampires!

Hey ladies, it's been a while!

I hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend :) Todays post features Sat-ART-Day challenge, you can check it out here: Sat-ART-Day on facebook.

10th November is for Vampires! Ah, which one of us doesnt like them? Or is it just me? *blushes*

Here is my interpretation of the theme:


So originally I was going for the blood that vampires feed on but Ive been wearing warm colors so I made a teal colored blood with golden flecks, isnt that pretty?


For the base I used H&M Mon Amie then painted the dripping blood with Essence Choose Me. I apologize for the lighting of my pictures, I really need a lightbox now that winter is almost here and theres almost no light for me to photograph my manis for you guys, any help how can I make one myself?


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.

Splatter! With Depend 313 and Choose me by Essence

Hello ladies!

Today I have for you a spatter mani! I liked the last one I made so I did it again! :)


For this mani I used my own franken Bowl of Cereal which you can see here and 2 other polishes: nr 313 by Depend ( which you can see here ) and Choose Me by Essence. I think white polish with purple glitter was a good base for this color combo. And those shimmers mmm.. Im in love with this mani!

I did clean up a bit badly as you can see on my index finger but shhh! :)

Thanks for stopping by! :) xx

Purple Glitter by H&M! - Swatches and nail art!

Hey ladies, I hope you all are having a great day!

Today I have to show you a very, very pretty polish: Purple Glitter by H&M. It is my new favorite purple of all times! Only recently I found out that this one is very similar to some of the other beauties out there.
OPI It's MY Year, Zoya Faye and Zoya Daul are all similar but not dupes.. or Purple Glitter isnt a dupe of any of them! haha Im confused now >.<


So sorry for the tip wear! I just learned that you actually have to "wrap" your nails in Seche Vite in order to not get "tip wear" after a hour of having your new mani.. Yes, Im a newbie.


Besides the small bottle and very small brush I love this polish. All of it. Formula was amazing to work with, no problems with drying either :) One thing I regret I didnt buy more bottles of this little beauty, oh well..

But here is some nail art with it:


Basically I went for polishes with gold flakes in them I just didnt figure out that this choice would make it hard for me to photograph the mani and to show it to you :( I used Purple Glitter by H&M, Number One Nemesis from OPI and Choose Me by Essence.


If you are sitting there, squinting your eyes to see what I wanted to accomplish, you can see it here. At least it did shine in the sun like crazy so I guess Im forgiven ^^

Hope you guys liked it, thanks for stopping by! :) xx

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!
