ABC Challenge - H is for Halloween!

Hello ladies!

Im going to show you what I wore for Halloween :)

Im posting for the ABC Challenge today cause I was just too busy yesterday and by the time I was done with my earthly stuff it was around midnight. I couldnt get any good lighting for my pictures so I waited until today morning.

So.. you may say cloud mani for Halloween? Well, think of it as freaky candy! I planned to do something else entirely but I failed. I just wasnt able to paint decent looking pumpkins on my nails! I settled on clouds instead..

As to my ring ringer, this is a jack o' lantern with a kitty curved out :) Kitty didnt come out as evil-ish as I wanted to but this one is cute as well! Ring finger was done with the orange as a base, painted over with Liquid Vinyl (except for the little oval where the lantern was suppose to be), then I mixed bunch of colors to get the "glow of the light" in the lantern. Believe it or not I dont own any yellow polish :( I did mix together Jessica Pure Platinum, some silver glitter striper I found at the bottom of my polish box, a drop of H&M Mustard and a bunch of others I thought would fit into all of this. Then I used a black striper to paint my little cute kitty and top coat! Had to paint about 3 coats to get it evened out, kitty was pretty bumpy!

For the rest of my nails I used: Nordic Cap NP07 as a base color, H&M Je T'Amie (Im obsessed with this polish if you cant tell) and Orly Liquid Vinyl for the clouds. 

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.

Go and check other ladies that are doing amazing manis for the ABC Challenge:

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

Brought some sky down my nails.

My friend asked me to do a mani with sky theme and since I wanted to try it myself since like forever, I did it. Not to bore you with my thoughts, Ill just show you how it ended up:

I had an excuse for using my lovely Jessica King Tut's Gem once again ( I did use it here, here or here). I just love this blue, its very opaque and very well pigmented. I really like the result :)

Polishes I used were:

Jessica King Tut's Gem

Broadway Nails Nail Art Paint White

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 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

Summer Challenge day 8 Swimming Pool

Day 8 of the summer challenge - swimming pool.

Blue, blue, bluuuueeee :) Heres my mani:

That day was raining awfully so I had to take a picture under my white-light lamp but the lamp shows the true colors well :)

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! :)
