A few weeks ago it was very hot in the country. As much as I hate hot weather, I do like that I can wear my bright polishes. I first wanted to make rainbow nails, but I didn't have the right color green, so I went for this tropical gradient.
I started with 2 coats of a white polish to make the neons pop even more. With a make-up sponge I made the gradient. For the pink I either used Color Club Warhol OR China Glaze Pool Party, for the orange Color Club Wham! Pow! and for the yellow Color Club Almost Famous.
Sadly, this blurry picture was the best my camera could get. If you have these polishes yourself you should definitely try this one out to see how awesome it looks in real life :)
Today I'm showing you an old manicure again. I keep finding stuff on my laptop that I haven't posted. I don't know if it's just laziness or because it shouldn't be here... This manicure was just to see if I could use Essence Yellow Mellow for stamping, because I found it a bit thick.
The result; Yes and no. Yes, if you want a subtle look and no if you want it to be more obvious ;p I believe I tried this manicure before I got N.Y.C. Lexington Yellow, which seems more suitable for stamping.
I'm sorry for the short post, but I believe I should keep it short :P
Hello! Today I have a swatch of a very lovely yellow polish for you. N.Y.C. Lexington Yellow. I've been looking for a nice yellow for a while now and I love Essence Yellow Mellow, but it's small, old and thick and just not IT.
You can see that the color on my nails look way different than in the bottle. The color in the bottle is the actual color. It's a soft yellow with a hint of orange. I hope I'm gonna wear it a lot in summer :D
Happy Easter everyone! I don't celebrate Easter, I'm just here for the chocolate eggs. But I did want to do something "Eastery" for today. Pastel colors remind me of Easter somehow, so that's why I did this simple skittle mani.
The pictures turned out a bit too bright, but you can still kinda see. I really liked the skittles, but wanted to try to add some dots, but they didn't turn out so good. They look like candy we used to get when we were little.
From pinky to thumb; Color Club Blushing Rose, Catrice Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy!, Essence Mellow Yellow, Catrice Apropos Apricot and ELF Mint Cream. I definitely refound my love for ELF's Mint Cream. What a gorgeous color!
Hello! I hope you all have a great day! Today I'm showing you another swatch from the polishes Jenn got me. This is China Glaze's Sun Worshiper. This one was on my wishlist too, because I thought I might need it someday for something :P On the pictures I'm also wearing a coat of Finger Paints Flashy.
Sun Worshiper, from the Poolside collection, is a bright neon orange/yellow polish. It dries matte and pretty streaky, but with a topcoat you don't see that. I used 3 coats for opacity and I tell you; this was so hard to capture with my camera! But the picture above is almost color accurate.
I think Sun Worshiper is a pretty unique polish and when you have it on your nails it's really out there! It almost looks like it's giving light or something. I think that looks really cool!
Do you have Sun Worshiper or would you ever wear a color like it? Let me know :)
Hello! Today is again, really simple. I choose to do Mondrian nails, because it's simple (and I went to a college named like that). I actually wanted to do all my nails, but I didn't feel so well, so ended up with this.
I actually painted all my nails black, except for my thumb. With striping tape I made the lines and filled the blocks in with a dotting tool. Then I took the striping tape off.
My thumb has 2 coats of Catrice Blues Brother Vol. II. My index finger is just Black by Color Club. My middle finger is 1 coat of Black and 2 coats of Ruby Slippers from Color Club and my pinky is a coat of Black and 2 coats of Almost Famous, also from Color Club.
I've been thinking so much of what song I should be inspired by. I listen to so much music, but I couldn't pick anything where I though I could make something with. I decided to watch video clips instead and I got inspired!
I doubt you can tell what video I choose, but I picked Jessie J's Domino. The video is really nice and I saw some things that I wanted to do something with.
This picture is inspired from the part where Jessie sits on this zebra print chair and she wears this gorgeous butterfly mask!
My index finger is inspired by a jacket she wears in the video. It's a blue and green gradient with leopard print and something printed in yellow. I decided to just put the yellow with the gradient as well.
My middle finger is from where she wears this pink suit kind of thing full with with things. I don't know what they were, so I just stamped clouds on my nail :P
My ring finger is inspired by the wall where she dances in a white 'I-don't-know-what-to-call-it'. The wall is actually greenish, but I already had a green nail.
My pink is inspired by the very beginning. Also the wall, with these circles in circles going in circles ;p
Overall I'm kind of proud of my little creation. Especially because I'm not that creative :P I hope you like it too! :)
I'm really, really, really disappointed in the way this manicure turned out. In real it actually looked a bit better than this, because the orange looks a lot less red in real life. It's super messy and I blame all of that on the striping tape... When I later added it between the colors it just didn't stick on my nail at all!
Ever since I was little I've been loving bright colors and whenever I was drawing rainbows (did that a lot when I was little) I always did pink, orange, yellow, green and blue. Sometimes purple and red as well :)
From pink to blue I used;
Color Club - Warhol
Color Club - Wham! Pow!
Color Club - Almost Famous
Catrice - Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy
Sinful Colors - Why Not?
I have never worn yellow polish. While I had this on my nails I didn't really know what to think about it. The color looks nice, but not on me. My fingers looked even more fat and yellow! :P This is Almost Famous from Color Club added with a matte topcoat from Miss Sporty.
For summer I think I might wear this one. I find this color kinda funny today, since it started snowing here today. And of course today I forgot my gloves. When I went home from work I almost felt with my scooter a few times, my hands almost froze off and when I came home and they started warming up they were hurting like hell! I almost cry and I hardly cry xD
So this is it for today :) I hope to see you back tomorrow!
I didn't really know what to do for today's post. When going through my image plates I thought I wanted to try the stars. Cause I never did before :P For my base color I used my Franken Underground Candyshop and for the yellow stars I used Almost Famous from Color Club.
I'm still proud of this Franken... :) Almost Famous stamped better over a dark color than expected. Some stars have some gaps, because they some pieces just wouldn't get on the stamper.
While I was doing my nails I kept singing; Catch a falling star and put it in my pocket xD I heard that song for the first time in The Princess Diaries :P
