Nail Art || Stripes

Hello! Another manicure from days ago and I believe I have a few more coming that are from days before :P But the other week I decided I had to do more than just slap on a coat of polish and go to work. I decided it was time to get out my striping tape and get taping!

I don't know how I came up with this color combination, but I liked it. The blue looks less dark than it actually was. You could actually barely tell the difference between the black and blue. Over the black I just had to put on Fairy Dust, since it makes every manicure better. Over the pink/purple I put on Kleancolor Chunky Holo Fuchsia.

As you can see I do not really master the tape as you can see on my pinky finger. Of course I applied a layer of topcoat after the tape, but sadly the next day the tape came off :( But I had fun for as long as it lasted :P

The blue polish is a blue polish from Hema, the black is just Black from Color Club, topped with China Glaze Fairy Dust. The pink/purple is Purple Crush from Orly.

I hope you're having a great weekend and I'll see you next time! :)


Thank you for reading!

Blue Ombre Nails

Today I have another blue manicure for you. I did a blue ombre today, because I had to go somewhere quickly today, so went for this simple thing. I've done blue ombre nails once before, I've done a pink ombre once before and I've done ombre paint drips.

From pinky to thumb I used Color Club Chelsea Girl, Sinful Colors Why Not?, Orly Blue Collar, China Glaze Bahamian Escape and Essie Borrowed & Blue.

Chelsea Girl is pretty much the same as China Glaze Ride The Waves. It felt like 3/4 jelly and 1/4 creme :P If you had to pick between these two colors go for Ride The Waves. Here I used 3 coats of Chelsea Girl and it's still not opaque.

Day 20: Water Marbled

Check out my 150 follower giveaway!

Hello! Today I kinda cheated. Like the title says, I was supposed to water marble. I do not have filtered room temperature water and I'm not gonna buy a bottle of water just for today. So after a few tries I decided to just do a drag marble. I believe that's what this is called.

I used the following polishes;
Essie - Tart Deco, Color Club - Wham! Pow!, China Glaze - Sugar High, Color Club - Warhol, Catrice - Lucky In Lilac!, Color Club - Pucci-Licious, Essence - Got A Secret, Orly - Blue Collar and China Glaze - Snow.

In case you didn't know; I have a super small room. I don't even have a closet and until not so long ago I didn't even have a bed. When I do my nails I have this plate thing for your lap (it's supposed to be for breakfast in bed) It's not really stable, but comes in quite handy for doing my nails. Today, I have no idea what happened, but since the plate is so unstable I dropped 7 open bottles on my carpet and bed... So yeah, I can't remove it, but it's not so bad. I hate this carpet and the sheets... Who cares? ;p

I water marbled once before. Check it here!

Day 19: Galaxies

Check out my 150 follower giveaway!

I was kinda nervous to do the galaxy nails, because I only have to pick 1 wrong color and I can start all over again! But today that wasn't the case. I think I picked the right colors and I'm pretty satisfied with the end result :)

The picture above is from the nail I liked best; my middle finger. You can see most of the base color I used and to me that's more galaxy-like ;p

This last picture is a one from all the polishes I used. From left to right;
Sinful Colors - Frenzy
Essence Multi Dimension - Midnight Rocker (base color)
Catrice - Blues Brother Vol. II
Miss Sporty Clubbing Colors - 330
Orly - Blue Collar
China Glaze - Ahoy!
ELF - Glitter Purple
ELF - Lilac
Essie - East Hampton Cottage

The bottle that's not on the picture is China Glaze's Fairy Dust. I just forgot about it ;p

Thanks for reading!

Day 5: Blue Nails

Check out my 150 follower giveaway!

Doing this challenge makes me realize that it's easier to remember the date. But that's just a side note. For day 5 we have blue nails on the planning. At first I stamped something, but it kinda failed big time. I had some blue polishes in my hands to do some new stamping, but I decided to go for ombre instead.

The colors are far from accurate and even photoshop couldn't help me. In real life I really like the way it looks. Just like the orange and yellow nails it makes me feel like summer is coming soon!

Thumb: Sinful Colors - Why Not?

Index: Orly - Blue Collar

Middle: Julep - Amy

Ring: China Glaze - For Audrey

Pinky - Essence - You Belong To Me

Orly - Fowl Play

Happy New Year! I hope everybody is going to have a great new year and be happy and healthy :)

Maybe you're noticing my new layout. I just had to change it, because I like my pictures to be big! I'm always to lazy to click to enlarge on people's blogs, so yeah... xD

A few days ago I ordered my first Orly nail polish. I was surprised that the bottle was pretty big. It has 18ml in it, while I'm used to like 14 or 15ml.

This is Fowl Play. A sheer purple jelly base with yellow, orange and green flakies and some blue glitters here and there. When wearing Fowl Play, you mostly just see an orange yellow flakie. I found that a little bit disappointing, because in the bottle it looks like a rainbow in a bottle.

I managed to capture the other colors of the flakies too. While writing this I'm trying to find out how to see the green flakies by holding my lamp in different angles, but it's not working. I guess you just have to do your thing to maybe see it time to time.

And here you have my uninterested cat. I was trying to capture the flakies while I found myself in the weirdest positions, but as soon as I lied down on my back, my cat was on my belly again :P

Do you have Fowl Play? If so, what do you think of it? All I can say is that I'm happy that it's my first Orly polish and I hope I can get my hands on some more this year :P

Thanks for reading!
