Day 22: Inspired By A Song

Check out my 150 follower giveaway!

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! :)

Thanks for reading!

Day 21: Inspired By A Color

Check out my 150 follower giveaway!

Hello! I'm back with the challenge :)

I didn't really know what to do today. How can I be inspired by a color? I don't get creative from a color. Actually, I'm not really creative at all. At first I wanted to go all ombre again, since I had 2 new pink polishes, but 1 of them looks just like some others. The one that I'm wearing is really awesome though!

I'm wearing 2 coats of Catrice's new 2012 polish Aretha's R•E•S•P•I•N•K. It's almost like a hot pink neon, but it's not neon. It dries shiny and looks amazing. It's like a perfect hot pink.

Over this manicure I applied a coat of Golden Rose flakies in number 15. My favorite flakie! It's really rainbowy and I got a lot of compliments on it at work today :) Compliments make me happy :P

For tomorrow's challenge I'm kind of excited. I have an idea in mind and I hope it all works out well :P

Thanks for reading!

Layering: Forget that Brilliant Alias

Check out my 150 follower giveaway!

Hello! I'm sorry for my absence. I hope to continue with the 31 Day Challenge tomorrow :)

Today I have my first layered manicure for you. I tried it a few times before, but it never worked out. This manicure is actually 3 weeks old, but I found these pictures and decided to post them.

I don't remember what base coat I used, but it's either Seche Vite or Trind Nail Repair. Then I applied 1 or 2 coats of Catrice's Forget Me Not followed by a coat of Alias from Color Club. I topped it off with BeYu's Brilliant Shiraz and I was so happy with the way it looked!

My happiness was gone when I was in bed later that night and my polish started peeling off again. I went 'naked' before this manicure for about a week. The week before when my polish peeled off was when I was also wearing Brilliant Shiraz. So it's not the condition of my nails, but it's Brilliant Shiraz that's giving me peeling polish. I tried a few topcoats, but none work. Brilliant Shiraz is not for my nails :(

But anyway, thank you for reading and I hope to see you back soon :)

Catrice Nymphelia LE: Be Pool

Check out my 150 follower giveaway!

In case you didn't know; I'm taking a little break from the 31 day challenge, but I'll continue in a few days :)

Today I have a polish from the new limited edition from Catrice. Be Pool from the Nymphelia collection. When it comes to polishes this is the only polish that isn't in the standard collection. The other four are, which is kind of a disappointment.

This is Be Pool. A sea blue/green polish with a green shimmer. This is the kind of polish that looks so different in some lightnings. These pictures don't really show the true color of this polish, but I'm telling you; it's gorgeous!

I think I want Salmon & Garfunkel as well, but I could buy that one any time this year. I feel like it's a bit too light for my skin tone or at least it will look weird :P

Thanks for reading!

31 Day Challenge To Be Continued

Hello!

I'm just letting you know that I'm taking a few days off from the 31 Day Challenge! I hope to continue in a few days. If not, I promise I will continue soon :)

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!

Thanks for reading!

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 18: Half Moons

Check out my 150 follower giveaway!

Maybe it's better for all of us to just skip this post :P This challenge helped some people to get better with the nail art and all, but I think I'm getting worse by the day!

I've never done half moons before and I used those half moon sticker things, but they didn't do what they were supposed to do. It was more straight then a nice curve, so I had to give it more of a half moon shape with the brush of the polish. That didn't work out too well either, but at least I tried :)

But, in real life this manicure actually looks nicer than the picture I have to say. I really like the combination of pink with glitter and black. And yes, the pink with glitter is from yesterday's manicure :P

That's all for today!

Thanks for reading :)
