31 Day NA Challenge - Day 23: Inspired by a Movie

Hello beauties!

Since 50 Shades of Grey will be released in a few days, I thought I'd do some nail art inspired by this movie :P I read the book as well and I'll go and see the movie with a friend once it comes out ..Yes, I admit it! :D

Here it is:

I used Essence Got a secret and Essence You're a Heartbraker (50's Girls Reloaded LE) for the gradient (plus a little bit of Technic - Silver holo). On the ring finger I painted on a tie with Essence Moonless Night (Dark Romance LE) and did the accents with the same silver holo polish that I used before. (This polish doesn't have a name!)

I incorporated some grey's, but I'm far from 50 shades! :D And of course a tie, because he almost always wears one! (And it's on the book cover as well)

Hope you like it!

And tell me, will you go see the movie? ;) 

See ya soon and thanks for reading!

Black Widow Tutorial

I went with Black Widow, because it just sounds cool :D Thank you my dear followers on facebook for this suggestion! ;)

Let's start directly with the tutorial, shall we? 

Step 1: 
Apply a base color of your choice.
Step 2: 
With another color, paint a vertical line on the middle of your nail. It doesn't have to be perfectly straight, because we will even it out in the next step! :)
Step 3:
Take a third color and a thin nail art brush and paint 2 lines along the middle stripe. Now these 2 have to be as straight as possible. Maybe you can use some tape if you don't think you can do it freehand.
Step 4:

With the same color as before, paint 3 or 4 stripes on each side at any angle you like. Finish it up with a coat of TC and you are done! Easy peasy, right? ;) 

You can do this as an accent nail or as a whole manicure like I did yesterday. 

Here is the end result again: 

The cool thing is that you can do this in any color combination you like! :) 

Seeing the close up pics for the tutorial I just had an idea: Should I include such a big close up pic for swatches? It's easier to see all the details, right? :) Let me know what you think!

Thanks for reading and I hope it was helpful! :)   

Inspired by Bargain Princess

Hello my dear followers!

I can't believe I have 400 followers, omg! Thank you to each and everyone :) 

Today I have some more Nail Art for you! I got inspired by a nail design Bargain Princess did a long time ago! Click on her name to go directly to the post! She called them feather nails, cause she was inspired by feathers when she did the design. So here is my recreation: 

I used: Technic, which has no name, so I just call it "Silver Holo", N.Y.C. Black Lace Creme and P2 Fever.

I hadn't done the ring finger yet in this pic because I had to photograph the tutorial first :D Yes, another tutorial is coming! ;) But I liked this photo so much, that's why I included it here. And you can see the silver holo!

I was so happy that the sun was shining today! Yay for sunlight pictures! :D Right after I took this photo it started raining though :P Crazy weather here ...

EDIT:
Some of my readers suggested on facebook I should call this design "Black Widow" - that sounds so cool :D Thanks guys! 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! See ya :-*
