31 Day NA Challenge - Day 21: Inspired by a color

Last post for today! :)

The challenge for today is a mani inspired by a color. A few days back I got Catrice - (S)wimbledon as a gift from my sister-in-law (thanks again Roxi!) and I decided to use it for this nail art:

I used Flormar 436 as a base and painted over with Catrice (S)wimbledon. 

I absolutely adore ruffian manicures - and there are sooo many combinations you can do! 

Do you like this style as much as I do? 

Tell me your favorite color combination! 

Thanks for reading and see ya tomorrow my lovelies <3 

31 Day NA Challenge - Day 17: Glitter

Hello my lovelies!

I didn't post yesterday because I still have such a bad headache and it won't go away :(

I will post both challenges today though, so don't worry ;)
First one is glitter, which was yesterday's challenge:

I used Flormar 436 on all fingers except the ring finger and topped it off with Sally Hansen Twinkle, Twinkle. On the ring finger I used Essence Ultimate Pink and added Essence Twins Topper 04 Carrie. 

I had something else in mind, but it didn't work out so I did this instead :) 

Hope you like it! Thanks for reading and see you in a bit with the second post!

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! :)

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
