31 Day NA Challenge - Day 24: Inspired by a Book

Hello my lovelies!

Today's challenge was difficult only because of one thing - I absolutely love books and didn't knew which one to choose :D
But the first one that came to mind is a book by Frank Schätzing - Der Schwarm (engl. title: The Swarm), which is one of my absolute favorite ones! I can only recommend it, if you like science-fiction and thrillers!

The nail art is inspired by the book cover and here it is:

I used Essence Black is back as a base and painted the blue iris with Essence Just Rock it! and Sensique Lakier Sky Blue (and a few mixtures of those 2 colors!).

The hardest thing was to draw a perfect circle haha :D 

Tell me, what is your favorite book/author or genre? 

Thanks for reading and see ya soon! <3

31 Day NA Challenge - Day 19: Galaxies

Good morning my lovelies!

I finally can post the Galaxy Nails for the challenge and it was fun creating them! I only did this style once before -here-, but I really have to do it more often - it looks so amazing!

For this mani I used only Essence polishes! So, I started off with It's raining men! as a base and sponged with Snow Alert!, Roller Coaster and Oh my Glitter! randomly all over it. 

For the little stars I also used Essence Snow Alert!.

Love how it came out! 

Thanks for reading and see ya later with yesterday's challenge: water marble! ;) 

31 Day NA Challenge - Day 14 (+15?): Flowers

Hello my lovelies!

I knew I would suck at this challenge xD It's hard posting everyday!

Yesterday the challenge was flowers and today it's delicate print. I was sure I had some stamping plates with a nice delicate lace print or something like that, but I was mistaken.. And since I don't have any other delicate stamping images I thought the flower mani would suit both these themes.

Flowers are delicate and beautiful, right? :D So here it is:  

I used Sensique Lakier Sky Blue as a base and painted the flowers on with Essence Snow Alert and Essence Glamorous Life and a wide flat brush. (The same I used for the flowers -here-)

(with flash)

I really like how these came out because of the color combination - but flowers are not something you will see on my nails very often ;)

Thanks for reading and see ya later with my 365 Days Photo Challenge post! 

31 Days NA Challenge - Day 5: Blue Nails

Hello there :)

To be honest I didn't had the motivation to post today since I sometimes think I'm talking to myself here ^^ But I'm doing my thing and I wanna share my stuff and if someone happens to read and like this - awesome! Although I have to say that I really miss talking with my readers through the comments, mails etc.
A few of you still comment, so thank you <3

Let's move on to today's challenge - blue nails!

This is 2 coats of O.P.I - Swimsuit.. Nailed it! and a lot of rhinestones on the accent nail :D

I wanted to do kind of a gradient with the rhinestones, but it was a lot easier in my mind! I still like the outcome though, but I could never do this on all my nails ... or maybe one day, who knows?

I chose this nail polish because it still is my all time favorite blue color and I don't think there ever will be another blue polish I love so much! 

Which is your favorite blue polish? Maybe you prove me wrong :) 

Thanks for reading and see ya tomorrow! 

*Late* Nail Art Monday - Tape accent nail

Hello my dear readers!

*EDIT: I suck as a blogger ... I wrote that post yesterday and forgot to post it ... I'm sorry for the delay, again^^ *

Today I have some simple nail art for you - an accent nail with rhinestones and geometric design, that I achieved by using tape :)

The base for this mani is P2's No Matter from the "Winter ... who cares?!" LE I showed you yesterday!

For the accent nail I used Essence - Snow Alert (from the Mountain Calling LE) and 3 rhinestones. I topped it all off with a thick coat of TC. 

My plan was to do all nails like that, but then I thought It may be a little bit too much and I also didn't wanna cover up that gorgeous blue ;) 

How do you like it? Let me know!

Thanks for reading :*

Today's Swatch: Barry M - Denim + New Poll (Please Vote!)

Hello there!

Hope you are all well today :) Tomorrow I am going back home from my little vacation (I am visiting my boyfriend) and I can't wait to do more nail art and reviews and concentrate even more on my blogging life ;) 

But for now, let's take a look at this swatch I found hidden on my computer ^^  

(Without top coat)

This is 2 coats of Berry M - Denim, and you already can tell that the name is very suiting for this one! The slight silver shimmer and the not so glossy finish really do remind you of denim :) 

 (With top coat)

The application was really easy, because the polish has kind of the perfect consistency. Also one coat is more than enough with this one (its really opaque) but I like to have a perfect result and just did 2 ;) 

What do you think of Barry M polishes? 

I got most of mine as a gift and I'm in love with the colors and application of this brand! 

Are there any must-haves I must know of? ;)

Leave me a comment, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

See ya soon <3 

P.S.: Oh I almost forgot !! I started a new survey on my blog ( left side bar) where you can vote for my new blog name ! I really wanna change it up and I am still open for new suggestions ;) Will talk more about it tomorrow in my post :) 

Finally back for good: Frosty Winter Nail Art + Essence Snow Jam Swatch

Hello my dear followers!

Gosh how much I missed you guys <3 I made so many promises this year to come back to blogging but so many things happened... a big personal loss recently made it even harder for me to concentrate on my hobbies.
I finally feel like I have the motivation to do this and it also will be a wonderful distraction :)

I don't even know where to start :o
I made some little changes to the blog (more will come probably), I extended my Etsy shop and do nail polish jewelry now as well and the biggest change might be my hair color. No more red for me, my hair is now a beautiful black :) I actually thought about renaming the blog, but that would just confuse most of the people so I let it be the way it is! Maybe one day .. :P

Let's start with today's post, shall we? :3 

Now that its getting cold I thought I'd show you a frosty manicure :) I used Essence - Life is a Freeride from the Snow Jam LE (from last year I think) as a base for a pretty simple nail art.

First, here is swatch of this gorgeous blue shimmer polish: 

I used 2 coats, although 1 would have been enough as well. The application was flawless, but that's pretty normal for Essence polishes right? :)

And then I added some random stripes down from the base (with Essence Icy Princess). 

(Please excuse the tip wear, took the photo a few days later)

Like I said, the stripes are random, they don't have to be straight at all but of course you can do them more straight to create the effect of icicles ;) 

At first it looked like fire to me, but with the shimmery blue this mani has a touch of frosty winter to it, don't you think? 

As always I would love to hear your thoughts on this, so leave me a comment! :) 

See you guys soon <3
