Gold nude.

Hello there!

So, this post was suppose to come up yesterday but it was my Birthday so I didnt really have the time :)

Anyways, lately Ive been feeling a bit uninspired and that I had all the colors on my nails. I didnt want to repeat the color theme of my posts so I went for some nude - I also didnt want to have just "boring nude" on my nails so I added a bit of sparkle :)

Let me tell you, the photos doesnt do the mani its justice at all. My base color is Nude Skin by IsaDora and for the sparkle I added 2 thin coats of Essie As Gold As It Gets. LOVELY combination. Looked so much better in real life!

What do you think about this one?

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Pastel-ish skittlette.

Hello there lovelies!

Today I have from you a mani that was sitting in my head for quite a while but I couldnt find the right colors for this. I finally found them while reorganizing my Helmer :) So my skittlette - I borrowed the name from lovely Marta from ChitChatNails that also showed us how to do those but I did my own version of this technique/design. And yes I went for some pastels cause I want the bad and cold winter to go away!

Dont mind the fact that my camera freaked out when I was taking pictures of this mani, there was so much shine and sparkle that it scared the life out of my poor iPhone.

On my index and middle finger I did a simple gradient with Gina Tricot Shimmer Mint, OPI Gargantuan Green Grape and China Glaze Tart-y for the Party, followed by a coat of L'oreal Platinum Chic. I needed something even more shiny so I painted 2 easy coats of OPI Your Royal Shine-Ness on my ring finger and a texture polish, cause I love me some textures, on my pinky in IsaDora Purple Crush.

This one came out even more blurry and out of focus, sorries!

I managed to get ONE decent picture, yay me :( 

Anyways, what do you think about this one? Is it too much? Let me know!

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

First of the year!

Hello there!

Wowza! 2014 huh? Ive been such a bad blogger those last few weeks, every single time I sat down to write a post I felt so uninspired and tired and who knows what else. Everything I wrote felt like a such a failure I dont know why though. Even this post, besides long overdue, wasnt even suppose to be the first of the year.

The real 1st of the new year was suppose to be a post about my top 10 polishes of 2013 but I also got stuck on it and couldnt get on with it. I promise the post is coming!

Anyways this one ended up going to the blog as first cause I did the mani (I keep my nails painted almost always, I just cant get myself to write about it) and posted a pic of it on Instagram. I did kind of promise to put it up on the blog but no, I never got around of doing it. Tonight though, here it comes :)

This mani was inspired by very talented Maggie from Maggies_Manicures, she did an incredible job with this mani and when I saw it I immediately knew I had to try to recreate it. Gradient on my index and middle finger is done with OPI I saw... U saw... We saw... Warsaw (by the way, this shade is very close to my heart cause I was born and raised near Warsaw in Poland and Im a little bit home sick + the shade is amazing so), IsaDora Surfers Paradise and Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau. The black and white glitter topper is Gina Tricot Salt & Pepper. Ring finger and pinky is coated with a thick coat of ORLY Liquid Vinyl (surprise there huh) and Kleancolor Blue Eyed Girl.

It was a fun mani to wear but I had trouble with Seche, its giving me hell lately and I hate it. Here is the picture that I took and posted on Instagram, with a new hand pose Im thinking to keep for longer:

I think the hand pose in the last picture is very nice and I like it more than the normal ones I take but I find it hard to keep it this way and dunno. Im weird.

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?

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

United In Pink - take two.

Hey ladies!

How are you doing today? Im enjoying a bit of free time and of course doing my nails ^^

Today I have for you mani nr 2 in the United In Pink series. I decided to go for a splatter, its been a while since I did that and it never seem to go wrong. I must say that the mani came out way better than I thought it would consider I did splatter on a black base. Wanna see?

Now let me explain the out-of-order finger pose (hence my index finger). I couldnt get the nails lined up in the same position to get the pictures I wanted. I hate those big, square, chunky H&M bottles. I cant pose with them. The size of my hand isnt really helping. Well at least the new shades have a new bottle which is much easier to pose with.  For me at least. Talk about a big problem for a nail blogger ;)

My base is Orly Liquid Vinyl. I stamped my ring finger with a design from Bundle Monster BM-321 with my LM nail polish that has no name, for the sake of my sanity lets call this one "lavender pink". The rest of the fingers are covered with splat done with LM "lavender pink", IsaDora Power Pink and H&M Dance With Me. What do you think?

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

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?

Gradient, tape & texture.

Hello there lovelies!

WOW, its been a while. Life got in the blogs way and well a pause happened. 

Today I have to show you a mani that I wore to my best friends wedding. I didnt do anything delicate cause, come on, Im not so delicate myself :)

Let me tell you, this was TIME CONSUMING. It was worth it but boy, so long time it all took. My inspiration for the nails was my dress and my earrings. Here they are:

Here is what happened when I tried to take that shot:

This is one of my kitties, his name is Zigge. He loves when I put something on the couch, he always thinks its for him to lie down on :)

Anyways, I started off with a gradient with Nordic Cap NP06 and IsaDora Macchiato to match the earrings color, then taped off the "diamond shape" followed by 2 coats of OPI's Get your Number. 

How do you like this manicure?

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

A little bit of tribal print on my nails.

Hello there lovelies!

Wow, this week has been crazy for me, I just started a new job and I couldnt get used to it. Had absolutely no power when I got home so I didnt even check my blog. Not even my mail, nothing. Im sorry for my absence, its going to be all better now :)

Im very excited to show you todays mani. Its my first take at tribal-ish nail art. I always thought its very difficult to achieve a nice look and let me tell you, it is! For you whose hands are a bit shaky its hard to get the lines straight but I made it! Let me show you:

Like I said, its kind of tribal, I like it nonetheless :) Base for my tribal print is a simple gradient using Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau, IsaDora Scuba Blue and China Glaze Tart-y For The Party. If you havent noticed those are my to-go summer colors! Then added different shapes using acrylic paint. I know how many "bald sports" I have but believe it or not my acrylic paint is freaking out and just doesnt wanna cooperate. Its one of those very cheap ones so that may be the problem (read bad quality paint).

Overall I love the look, I definitely have to get a good quality acrylic paint cause this one just doesnt cut it. How do you like this look?

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Pastel galaxy nails.

Hey there!

Im writing this as its kind of late so dont mind if I say something weird. Im exhausted.

Anyways.. Todays nails are pastel galaxy ones. Okay, so I may have gone totally overboard with these. You see, I wanted to make this mani burst with pastel colors and as I finished it, I realized I used only 2 colors for it with a thrird barerly visible. What a bummer :( I went with it cause why not, will definitely add more colors to it next time but for now... well. Here they are:

I started off with a white base, Essie Blanc, then sponged on Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau, IsaDora Lilac Bikini and a hint of IsaDora Power Pink. I wanted to add more but I just forgot I suppose. Must concentrate on actually doing my nails and not think about everything else while I do my nails. I topped it all off with a coat of Wet n Wild Halucinate.

The pictures dont do justice to the glitter, I really like this one, it sparkles a lot in the sun :) So what do you think about my pastel galaxy nails?

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Manicure inspired by a pattern on a duvet cover.

Hey there!

Yeah, you read right. Todays post features a bit of nail art that was inspired by a duvet cover from Ikea. I dont know how I feel about it, I guess its fun to look at :) Here it comes:

My base color is Essie Blanc. The "circles" were done with Essie Where's My Chauffeur, Miss Fancy Pants, IsaDora Power Pink and Vollare City #321.

And here is the picture that I borrowed from Ikea to show you the design:

I did switch up the colors a bit :) What do you think about this one?

Inspired by IG? Hell yeah!

Hello lovelies!

So since there is a literally ton of inspiration on Instagram (<-- here is a link to my IG, I share there all my manis, sneak peaks and lots more!) I decided to once in a while either recreate a mani Ive seen on IG or just simply get some ideas from there. Isnt that fun?! Now, of course Im going to credit all the people and give you links to the specific manis so that nobody is saying Im stealing something from someone.

As my first inspiration I used this mani created by @thenailomon. It took my heart right away, I liked that its not so girly mani (skulls, how cool are those?) yet it is girly at once! Here is my recreation:

I did switch the color palette cause I was in no mood for orange. For the gradient base I started of with a coat of Gina Tricot Shimmer Mint and did, said gradient, with Shimmer Mint and IsaDora Scuba Blue, followed by one coat of Nubar Black Polka Dot on top. For my ring finger I used an opaque black polish and did some dots with Essie Blanc.

I loved this mani, I really did. Ive had it on for like 4 days and there was no way I would take it off. of course it started to chip and all that so I had to but I really enjoyed the mani. What do you think? Would you like to see more of this kind of posts? Let me know!

Here is a link to my own Instagram if you missed it before :)

Blue madness.

Hey!

Today I have for you a quick post featuring a mani that Ive worn a while ago but never got around to posting it. I really enjoyed the mani, it was simple yet pretty - the way I like it :)

I had 2 easy coats of Take Me To Your Chateau by Color Club on my index and pinky finger, on my middle finger Ive done a simple gradient with Take Me To Your Chateau and Scuba Blue by IsaDora, followed by one coat of Wet n Wild Halucinate. A dotticure on my ring finger featuring all the blues from the mani and a Shimmer Mint by Gina Tricot.

What do you guys think about this one?

My very first attempt at galaxy nails.

Hey ladies!

How are all of you today? Im very excited to show you my very first galaxy mani that I made a while back. Im very proud of myself that it actually looks nice but the thing with galaxy manis is that you cant really do wrong :) Wanna see how it went? Here:

I started off with a simple black base then started sponging: first Essie Blanc (white, to get the colors to pop out on the back), Blue Jeans by IsaDora, Gina Tricot Marina, China Glaze Grape Pop, IsaDora Lilac Bikini and at the end I added one coat of OPI Servin' Up Sparkle.

I thought it was a bit too dark but Im not sure, I kind of like it that way. Maybe next time I will do something more bright :)

So what do you think, how does it look like? Im definitely going to try this nail art in the future again, as I said the mani itself is like a childs play + the color combos are endless :)

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Last of my neon manis - splatter!

Hello there!

I hope you are having a great day! Today I have for you my last neon mani which, as said above, is a splatter. Here it goes:

On a white base I started off with the brightest of the bunch Python Green by Gina Tricot, next in the lane was Shiney Coral by HOTmakeup and last but not least was Power Pink by IsaDora. I love splatters, they are so funky yet really pretty!

Did you like the color combo of this mani? :)

I enjoyed the neon week a lot, the weather is nice so the nails are super bright in the sun, lovely! I also got many compliments from guys I know even though they are not into nails at all :) 

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Neon gradient with a sparkle!

Hello there!

I hope you are having a great Friday! Today I have for you something very bright and shiny, second neon inspired manicure. See for yourselves:

As you can see, my camera went crazy and instead of capturing the brightness of the colors, it hid in the corner and cried, which saddens me lots. I have no clue why the polish on my ring finger came out this way, the polish Im holding is Shiney Coral by HOTmakeup. On the right side of my ring finger nail the color is true. Bottle looks more pink than it really is.

I started off with a white base and mixed my neon-ish colors: (from left to right) Golden Rose Sweet Color 62 (green), Gina Tricot Python Green (yellow),  HOTmakeup Shiney Coral (peach) and IsaDora Power Pink (pink). Since Python Green has a pearly finish I covered the gradient with H&M Jo Is In The House. The holographic particles are kind of big so this picture looks at least weird. Im aware, but boy! So much holo in the sun! The brights looked amazing in the sun.

The picture is taken on purpose, to show you how much it shines in the right lighting. I was photographing the manicure at night so there was no sun to help me get this picture. 

Keep out for the next neon inspired mani :)

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

A bit of neon maybe?

Hello ladies!

Uff this last week was horrible. Lots of studying + even more studying! Now Im done (for now) and Im back to doing my nails :) 

Since the weather has been nice for past few weeks I decided to get some bright neons on my nails. I have a few manis that I would love to collect together and make them into a "Neon Week". Im willing to give it a try but as you know I dont post everyday so it would rather be "Neon manis when-I-actually-post Week". So maybe instead of labeling it I will just go for it and not call it anything? 

Anyways, today is first of my neon manis. It features a neon pink that I recently purchased and didnt realize that its a neon until I actually put it on my nails. Im talking about IsaDora Power Pink.

Power Pink is a jelly like, pink neon. I was surprised when it covered nicely in 2 coats. Formula is amazing and it dries fast. I love it. I really hope that this doesnt stain my nails as now Im rid of my stained nails and Im willing to show them to you (hence my cut-out accent nail). Accent nail was done with some striping tape, Power Pink and Lilac Bikini by IsaDora. Ill swatch Lilac Bikini asap!

So how did you like the cut-out accent nail? Until now Im still not loving it but I did want to try it :) How about you, do you rock any neons yet?

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

IsaDora Hot Hibiscus - Swatches & review!

Hey there!

Today I have for you a swatch of a polish that has been released last year but its re-released this year! Im talking about Hot Hibiscus by IsaDora. Sit back and check out this neon-ish gorgeous polish!

Hot Hibiscus is a red neon with pink undertones. Its absolutely stunning and kind of hard to capture on a picture. The formula is a bit on a thin side but nothing that bad, careful application will prevent from any patches. Two easy coats in the pictures + good drying time.

Now I expected Hot Hibiscus to stain my nails like crazy but nothing like that happened! Just be careful with removing this polish cause it may stain your cuticles (like it happened to me)!

Overall Im pleased with this shade. IsaDora improved on the formulas of their nail polishes (newer shades only) but this one is not that bad considering that this is the older shade :)

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

IsaDora Scuba Blue stamped + 2 announcements!

Hello lovelies!

Before I show you my mani I have an announcement for you. My camera broke! I dont know how long it will take before I get this one fixed or get a new one but it should not be longer than 2 weeks. Besides I borrowed a camera from my boyfriend so everything should be fine here on the blog!

Another news is way better: Polish My Mind just joined facebook! If you wish to, here is a direct link to Polish My Mind's facebook page. 

The last manicure I photographed before my camera broke is this one:

This is IsaDora Scuba Blue. A beautiful, kind-of dusty periwinkle blue. I added a cloud stamp from Bundle Monster - plate BM-312 with Konad Special Polish in white.

I really like how it turned out but I wanted to see how it looks like with a matte top coat. I loved the result, did you? 

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Swatches of Polar Nights by IsaDora

Hey guys!

Todays quick post is about a new shade from Swedish company IsaDora. Polar Nights is a blue jelly base with silver fine glitter and medium silver hexes. Its amazing :) 

For the swatches I used one coat of Polar Nights over one coat of Blue Jeans:

Sorries for the weird lightning, I still havent got around to making a light box, Im pretty caught up in moving.

Formula and drying time was like a dream, gonna definitely get a backup of it :)
