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!

Summer Challenge - Summer splatter!

Ow, how much I waited for this day! I havent try this mani yet so I was very excited to do it :)

This was my first time doing splatter but I must say its so easy and I love the effect!

It was late into the evening when I took those pictures so they are what they are xP

Polishes I used were:

Mavala 49 White

VOLLAGE CITY nr 321 (can be seen here)

Jessica Pure Platinum

Jessica King Tut's Gem

H&M Berry 

+ top coat

Here is a bonus picture under artificial light:

Summer Challenge day 25 - Summer water marble.

Water marble - I love water marbling! This time I got some bubbles but I still like the mani :) See for yourselves:

Colors are summery for me, I dont think that summer only includes pinks, reds and yellows. This mani reminds me of water a bit so lets go with that, shall we? :D

This time I wasnt lucky while doing it. On my middle finger theres an air bubble, top coat smeared the nail polish on my ring finger and I had an accident with my pinky! And yes, my skin is still in huge need of moisturizing but Im working on it!

Polishes I used were: 

Mavala 49 White

China Glaze Grape Pop

IsaDora Ocean Drive and Surfers Paradise

+ top coat

What do you think, is it enough summery for you? :)

Black over black!

Yes, you read it right :) I thought a bit about idea of different texture mani and came up with that:

I liked the idea of using matte top coat to create something different, yes I know, Im not the first one to try :)

Nonetheless this is my mani and Im really happy with it! You can clearly see that this is just all black nails - except ring finger - but when you get closer you see more than just black polish!

I was thinking what to do with my ring finger cause I wanted to make an accent nail and I did dots (Aw, those simple dots..) but I put them there on the matte top coat! I could actually do whole mani like this: matte base and stripes/dots glittering in the sun :) So fancy!

Polishes I used were:

Nordic Cap NP12

Nordic Cap NP07

IsaDora Black Galaxy 

Essie Matte About You

Mavala Minute Quick-Finish top coat

Today is monday and I really like that this special mani is with me when this week starts! :)

Did you guys like it? Would you consider trying to play around a little bit with your matte top coat?

Aw and would you like me to do a tutorial on it?

Summer Challenge day 14 - Gardening

Yes, I skipped day 13 cause I felt very uncreative. Im still feeling this way even though I came up with a pretty nice nail art for today. (read yesterday cause Im late with it) No more babbling, here is my design:

My boyfriend said that those remind him of passion fruit but I dont know, I kind of went for flowers but either way it suits the theme :) I tried one stroke technique and I like it. Simple and the effect is gorgeous!

Its my first ever attempt at one stroke nail art so its not prefect! Im just going to keep on practicing and it will be ok :)

Polishes I used were:

Nordic Cap NP07

Nordic Cap NP11

(both yet to swatch)

Mavala 49 White

Broadway NailArt Paint black

+ top coat

Did you like the design I came up with?
