Striped gradient!

Hey there!

Todays mani is pretty simple yet effective. At least thats what Ive been going for :)

For base I used Nordic Cap NP06 and Miss Selene 202 + Gina Tricot Bright Peach for gradient. Easy!

Do you like striped manis? Let me know!

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

Summer Challenge day 60 - Summer glitter sandwich!

Hey there!

Im posting again haha well I just remembered that I made a glitter sandwich for todays Summer Challenge and forgot to post it! So without unnecessary babbling from me, here it is:

Polishes I used were:

OPI Servin' Up Sparkle

Miss Selene nr 223

This was done some time ago so it isnt so prefect! Also I saw I had a single cat hair on my index finger.. Sorries for that :<

Thanks for stopping by! :) xx

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

You my lovely readers should check out list of girls taking part in Summer Challenge - maybe
not every day, but definitely participating! I made a post with all the links to their blogs,
you can find all of the links in a page "Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge" in the top right corner
of my blog! :) Come on, go head and check them out, they are doing amazing manis as you read this!

Ugly green? Yes, please!

Today I have for ya a bit of an ugly polish to show you. Theres no name of it but a number 321. Its VOLLAGE Cosmetics CITY nr 321. The color is err.. something! I have completely no clue to what does this color resemble!! Anyways here it is:

Pretty cool, huh? Its a jelly so obviously needs at least 2 coats for full coverage but I used 3 coats in all the pictures. Wanted to get the exact color from the bottle :)

I just love it. Its one of those ugly polishes that just makes you drool when you look at them and then you just fall in love with them!

I wouldnt be myself if I didnt try to put something over it so I used one of my new glitters by Miss Selene.

Glitter has no name - OF COURSE - but it has a number: 167. WAIT! There is something stuck to my nail hahaha I just saw it, aw well :) Its golden & green hex glitter in a clear base. Applies gorgeously so easy to build up - if needed.

Too bad there was no sun for me to show you the glitter. My camera would freak out anyways so no point anyways :D

Summer Challenge day 3 - Summer Dots

So another day of Summer Challenge! Summer Dots. My first attempt was ok but I decided it was way to similar to other summery dots I've seen today so I decided this time even though the colors arent really bright, that this is going to be my mani for day 3 of the challenge. I also forgot to add other amazing girls blogs to the post so you can see how great they are doing. Im sorry for it, I wont forget now! :)

My mani "Summer Dots":

Daylight:

And under a light:

Polishes I used:

Miss Selene mini 223

Depend metallic (no idea what number it is cause it got "scraped off")

+ top coat 

About my cuticles and nails.. I had gel nails for about 2 years then I wanted a break and get back to naturals so after I took them off my nails were just.. a catastrophe! :( I use a base coat from Jessica and my nails are getting way stronger and healthier but they are miss shaped right now so I had to cut them down again. I think Ill go back to my gel nails cause my natural nails are like a piece of hm I dont even know what. If I press my nail lightly they will bend and eventually chip off :( So yes my nails are going to be short and my cuticles.. I HAVE TO CONFESS!!!!!!! For years, since I remember, I've been bitting my cuticles when I get nervous. I stopped that although sometimes under a lot of stress I catch myself bitting my cuticles again. This is such a shame cause Im a nail blogger! How can I do it? But I have my baby oil, my hand cremes and all of those fancy other things that are suppose to help moisturize your skin around your nails but look what happened to my skin after one day not taking care of them (not using any hand cream or anything this kind). I have to recover from it and its going to take time but Ill be strong! I hope :D
