United In Pink - part 3.

Hello my lovely readers!

Today I have for you yet another manicure that is all about pink. Im not sure if you have noticed but I dont own so many pinks but Ive found some holographic pinks & pink-ish shades in my stash. Let me show you:

All the shades are from 2012 Depend Holographic Collection. I used (left to right): #2027 Raspberry, #2029 Charm Pink, #2030 Plum and #2031 Lavender. This is so beautiful, I wish it was sunny so that I could flash my nails into peoples faces and go "YOU SEE? YOU SEE HOW PRETTY THEY ARE?!"

 Here is a bonus out-of-focus picture for your pleasure:

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

United In Pink - my first try.

Hey pretties!

As many of you know October is a month that people are trying to raise awareness about breast cancer. Not only is it all about breast cancer but also about pregnancy and infant loss.

This week me and some other truly lovely ladies are going to do pink manicures, that will symbolize the cause.

So for my first of the "pink manicures" I did a pink leopard print.

Base for the print is a simple gradient using LM polish that has no name and Safari #18. The reverse dots were done with the same polishes. I outlined the print with a black striper.

What do you think about this mani? Is it too much for your taste? Let me know!

Here is a bonus picture that I took and posted on Instagram when I was in the middle of doing the mani:

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
