Valentine's Day Challenge - Love & Kisses

Hello my lovelies!

This one comes a bit late, but I just didn't had the time to do my nails and post them. I am still at my boyfriend's place and I have no space for myself to do nails and pictures and I don't have the usual lightning that I have at home :P And to top it all, I had to file down my nails because I broke 2 of them .. aargh how I hate that! ^^

So, I hope I'll be able to do the rest of the 31 Day Challenge nails ^^

But for today, here is the love and kisses mani:



I used Catrice - I'm so aNude, P2 - Fever for the stamping and topped it off with Essence - Matt about you!


I really need to practice stamping a little bit more - the placement etc. 

I still hope you like it! Thanks for reading and see ya soon! :)

Valentine's Day Challenge - Romantic Lace

Hello my lovelies!

Today starts the Valentine's Day Challenge that Kaki and me created! I'm so excited to see what all the girls come up with :D


My plan was to create both make-up and nail art for every challenge, but I realized today this will be pretty hard! I sometimes don't have that many ideas :D

So here is my romantic lace inspired mani:


I used Catrice Must Have STEELetto, a gorgeous light purple metallic, as a base, a lace-like image from an Essence Stamping plate and Konad Black Nail Polish.
I didn't stamp the image on the nail, but instead I created nail decals and just put them on the nail where I wanted them. It's much more easier that way! If you wanna see a tutorial on this technique just let me know ;) 


To make the line more smooth I added some dots with the same Konad polish and finished it with a layer of TC.

I wanted to do some lace pattern around the eyes as well, but I didn't manage to do it... I don't have such a thin brush to create such a look. So instead I used the same metallic purple eye shadow to match it with the nails: 


Products I used: 
- P2 Perfect Eyes Base
- P2 Intensive Kohl Eyeliner 020 Cool Alaska 
- BH Galaxy Chic (Color: Cosmic)
- Sleek Ultra Mattes V2 (Colors: Villan + Pillow Talk)
- Catrice Absolute Matt Palette
- P2 Glow Up Highlighter - High Beam
- Maybelline Gel Eyeliner 01 Black
- Astor Seduction Codes Mascara
- Catrice Single Lashes (on outer corner)


The eye shadow is much more similar to the nail polish in real life and much more shimmery too. 
I hope you like it and don't forget to check out the other ladies as well! 


Thanks for reading! <3
