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

*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.

Neon yellow lace.

Hello lovelies!

I hope you are having a good beginning of the week! Today I have another neon manicure for you -  its already third one!

I started off with a white base for this mani (as I usually do when Im about to use neon colors on my nails) then added 2 coats of Python Green by Gina Tricot. Python Green is very unique, it has a pearly finish to it. That was the main reason why I bought it in the first place, Im not into pearly finishes so much but this one is very unusual. When this was dry I stamped a image from Bundle Monster plate MB314. Here is the result:

I really enjoyed this mani! I didnt think I would but the combination of neon and lace is amazing. Im sure thats not end of it.

Did you like this manicure? Would you wear something similar to this? Let me know!

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

How do I spice up a soft shade?

Hello ladies!

Todays post features a question I had in mind for a while. How do I spice up a soft shade but kind of office-friendly?

Well, of course theres a jelly sandwich, a bit of glitter on the tips or good old accent nail. Ive been there before and I dont want my nails to be boring so I came up with this:

I picked a soft shade as my base, which is H&M Mon Amie. I wanted my mani to be as little boring as possible so I added colorful stamping. For the stamping I picked this cute image from Bundle Monster plate BM-309. Colors of the stamps are, from lightest to darkest: Accessorize Jewel (golden metallic), Maybelline NY 465 (copper metallic) and H&M Fabulous Nails Honey (burgundy red metallic).

Im not entirely sure of this mani is so office-friendly but I know I would wear it anyways :) Would you?

French tip desing.. Not so french-y!

Hey ladies!

I kind of feel bad for posting really bad swatches of the H&M 5-pack so I want to make up for it!

Today I have a delicate (is it?) mani featuring OPI Tickets To Paradise and some really, really old nail polish that I had in my stash like forever. All I know, is that the shade is red based purple with purple shimmer and that its by Golden Rose but thats all. 

As you can see I did not photograph it when my mani was "fresh", this is after at least 24h and of course Seche Vite had to put its claw into the polish and shrink it like hell! Thank you nail polish God that I used it all up and now gonna buy another top coat that will be just as awesome - without the shrinking part of course.

I started by painting 2 coats of Tickets To Paradise and stamped over with Golden Rose and konad image from plate m57, on my ring finger I taped off my nail the way so that I will get a tape-free triangle then stamped animal print there. The french tip.. I dont even know if it is a french tip. Its lacy but it does look to me like a french tip. Feel free to correct me cause I have no clue >.<

Anyways, this mani is delicate for me and for first time since long it matched my clothes! :D

Thanks for stopping by! :) xx

ABC for Llama Nails :)

Hello sweeties,

I recently joined a new facebook group called "Llama Nails" and we are going to be doing a one mani per week challenge in order of the letters of the alphabet! 

The rules are simple:

1. The Challenge will begin on September 12 and runs through March 6 (26 weeks for 26 letters)

2. You only need to do one manicure a week (and it's ok if you don't do every week) we know how life gets in the way.

3. Each week something in your manicure must begin with the letter for the week. It can be the name of the polish brand, the name of the polish, the technique, the stamp, the color, the item depicted on your nails. The sky's the limit!

4. There is a document that lists some ideas for each letter. Please feel free to add ideas and take ideas from that list.

5. We will begin posting on Wednesday's of each week. But if you are unable to post on Wednesday you may post for that letter any time up until the next Wednesday when the new letter begins.

6. I will create an album for each letter (unless someone else wants to do this) that we can post our pictures in.

7. Please feel free to post your blog link to each post. But if you do not have a blog, that is fine too!

8. Have fun, be creative, and as always....save the drama for the llama. Be kind to each other and lets make sure to support one another. We are all trying our best!

Pretty amazing huh? :)

Well here is my A:

A - simply abstract animal print! I know it probably isnt so unique but it is to me! I also loved how my IsaDora Ocean Dive shows perfectly over a black base :) I went for normal gradient + stamping on my index and ring finger (Ocean Dive and Surfers Paradise -both by IsaDora) but wanted to kind of reverse it on my middle finger and pinky. On those two I painted 2 thin coats of Orly Liquid Vinyl and stamped over with Ocean Dive and Surfers Paradise. I did try to get a bit of gradient looking stamp but I didnt mix the colors well and the results are what they are :)

I loved Ocean Dive for stamping and Im sure you are going to see more of it coming soon :)
