31 Day NA Challenge - Day 26: Inspired by a Pattern

Hello my dear readers!

Today I have a beautiful mani for you! I am simply in love with everything - the design, how the colors look together and how eye-catching it is!

I wanted to try out a chevron pattern for so long now and I felt like this would be the perfect opportunity for it :) And here it is:


I used Barry M - Peach Melba, let it dry and added some tape to create the chevron pattern. Then I applied Catrice - Goldfinger on top of it and that's it!

Chevron pattern is such a beautiful nail art design and you can do so many different color combinations with it! It is definitely one of my favorite mani's ever! 

Thanks for reading and see you soon! <3

31 Day NA Challenge - Day 20: Water Marble

Hello again!

Here is yesterday's challenge...which I absolutely HATE! I hate water marbling... it's just so much work, such a nail polish waste (because you use a lot) and it never works for me! (and of course the clean-up is a pain in the a**)

But here it is (only as an accent nail):


I used Milani 3D Holographic - 510 3D as a base and for the marbling itself, plus S-he 303. 


I did my ring finger 4 times (!!) until it looked like that. The thumb was ok after the first time :P


In my eyes the result is not worth all the effort you put in, but I have to say that I really admire those girls who pull off such gorgeous water marbling nail art! 
You are really talented - and patient xD 

That's it, thanks for reading!
See ya later with today's challenge (finally :D)

31 Day NA Challenge - Day 8: Metallic Nails

Hello my lovelies!

I have to do 3 posts today, so this one will be a short one :D

Today's challenge is metallic nails and don't worry, I will post yesterday's challenge later ;) I didn't forget about it! :D


I started with Avon Gunmetal as a base (perfect for the metallic challenge don't you think?) and with a thin and long nail art brush I added Essence BBC Golden Sands in a triangular shape. 


Doesn't it look like some molten gold is running down the nails? This polish is amazing!  

I will really miss this polish when the bottle will be empty :(
Do you know any other golden polishes that look similar? Please tell me :D

Thanks for reading and see ya later! :)

Make-Up of the Day: Green and Gold Eyes

Hello my lovelies :) 

I wanna show you the make-up I wore today, since it turned out better than expected :) 


I did a gold and green kinda smokey eye and paired it with some neutral soft pink lips with golden shimmer as well. 
To get some gold color on the lips I just took the same eye shadow I used on my eyes, applied it on my lips as well and put the lip gloss right over it :) 



All the products I used:

Face

Kiko Mat Base Corrector Primer 
L'Oreal Perfect Match Foundation W3 Golden Beige

L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Powder Light Skin
Sleek Contouring and Blush Palette Fair 372 (only Bronzer)

Manhattan X-treme Last Eyeliner in Black
Maybelline Gel Eyeliner 01 Black
Maxfactor Eye Brightening Mascara for Hazel Eyes
Astor Seduction Codes Mascara


Hope you like it!

I'm trying to use more of my palettes and create colorful make-ups because I just have so much stuff and I really should use it:P 
The reason I said it turned out better than expected is that usually gold eye shadow isn't as opaque as I would like - but I just put P2's golden eye liner under it as a base and it turned out how I wanted!
Also the eye shadows are just amazing, but that's why I love to use Sleek palettes ;) 

Thanks for reading! 

See ya soon <3
