31 Days NA Challenge - Day 6: Violet Nails

Hello!

Sorry for posting this one day later, but I didn't feel well yesterday. The nails were done, the pictures were taken and then I just didn't had the patience to edit the pics and blog about it.

Nevermind, here it is - yesterday's challenge: violet nails!

I used Catrice Forget-Me-Not, my all time favorite purple polish! I added some random dots & stripes with Essence Black is Back and Essence Icy Princess. 

Old readers now that I used to do this nail art every time I didn't know what to do :D It's just because it is so easy to do and still looks interesting! 

(I did a tutorial on this before -here-)

That's it! Thanks for reading :) 

P.S.: I don't know if I can post today's challenge later, because I have to go to a birthday party - but I'll try! :)

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! 

31 Days NA Challenge - Day 4: Green Nails

Hey guys!

It's so strange to post every single day, after I didn't post for so long :D But it's fun! And today I have the fourth challenge for you, which is green nails :)

I applied 3 thin coats of Flormar Neon N007 as a base and used a small nail art brush to draw that wavy pattern with P2 Green Palm Tree (from the Summer Attack LE). 

Hope you like it!

Thanks for reading <3 

31 Day NA Challenge - Day 2: Orange Nails

Hello again! :D

For the second day in this challenge I had to do orange nails! I did that, but I made it a little bit more interesting than just plain orange nails :P

After 3 thin coats of China Glaze Riveting, I applied 1 coat of HAPM Limit Orange Crackle and achieved this look:

I really like how the orange shimmer peaks through the matte crackle :) 

That's it for today! 

Thanks for reading and see ya tomorrow <3 

Nail Art of the Day: Stripy Gradient

Hello my lovelies!

Finally I am home :) I met with a dear friend of mine and after talking a lot and eating sushi and stuff we just decided to wash our cars at 9 pm - we are crazy like that :D

The following nail art (if you are following me on Facebook you already saw a pic of it) is what I wanted to post yesterday, but I was too tired to do my nails so here it is one day later ;) 

The polishes I used from right to left: 

China Glaze - Ruby Pumps, Essence - Black is Back, Catrice - On Top of the Alps, Essence TC Better Than Gel Nails

First I started with a simple black to white gradient and let it dry.

If you are not familiar with this technique yet, just check out the tutorial from Sammy @The Nailasaurus - it is still the best one out there! :)

After it was dry enough to tape it, I just did exactly that. I used those tiny nail art tapes to tape off 3-4 stripes and applied a coat of Ruby Pumps all over the nail. 

I don't like to let it sit too much, so I immediately removed the tape and moved on to the next nail. 

After all nails were done I just finished it off with the Essence TC and voilà!

If you ever saw China Glaze's Ruby Pumps in real life you know what a beautiful sparkly red it is, too bad it doesn't show all its beauty on camera ;) 

I hope you like it! 

Thanks for reading and see ya soon! <3 

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 :) 

Nail Art Monday - Big Red Glitter

Hello my lovelies! :) 

Short post today, because it's kinda of a sad day for me and I don't feel like talking too much right now ^^

Today's nail art looks kinda simple but let me tell you it took forever! :)) 

After applying 2 coats of Essence - Fabuless, a simple black with light shimmer, I added this big red glitter from kkcenterhk ... one by one... 

Although it was a lot of work, the glitter looked so gorgeous in the end it was really worth it :) 

I just placed them with a dotting tool onto the wet nail polish. If I thought the polish is not sticky enough anymore I added a dot of clear polish and placed the glitter on top of it.

After I finished all my nails I applied 2 thick layers of top coat to really smooth it out, although I have to admit that 1 or 2 glitter edges where still kinda sticking out. 

I did wear it only for a day, because it felt really thick on my nails with all those layers :D

If you like it or have questions, just leave me a comment ;) 

Have a nice evening (or day, depending where you're from :P)

See ya <3
