H&M - Lady Luck

 I painted my friends nails some weeks ago with this beautiful teal/green duo chrome nail polish from H&M with the name Lady Luck. 

Watermarble in black and blue

yet again I did a watermarble but this time with a blue color instead of the white that I did last time.

I know this picture isn't the best but it captures H&M - Nail Him the best of all the pics I took. So this time just as last time, I also used this black from Bissu that doesn't have any name. I started with painting all my nails with Nail Him.

Which will leave your nails looking like this, maybe, then you add tape around your nails so that you don't have to clean so much when your done with the water marbling. Add water to a glass and open up all the bottles of polish that you are going to use and start dripping down in the water, don't drip to far away from the glass because that can make that the drip goes all the way to the bottom of the glass. It's better if you drip closely to the water. Then when you think you have the amount of rings of color in the glass take a toothpick and drag it the way you want the rings to go. And gently dip your nail(s) in the water. 

This is how my nails looked like afterwards, it can be all kinds of motives since it's all about how you place your nails in and how you have done the rings with the toothpick.

Cat and paws nails inspired by Cutepolish

So last night I took away the other nailpolish I had on my nails and painted this... Today we are going to Stockholm to see Ed Sheeran and I thought this design would fit quite well for the occasion ( Ed has a cat paw tattooed on his arm, the previous CD, +,  was orange and he likes cats...). Yeah I know, it's not like he ever gonna see my nails but I like the design and every time I get the chance to do something I have seen and liked then I take the chance to do it :) 

I started off by painting my nails with a Base coat and then I did french manicure with the black and orange polishes. I did 2 layers so that it was opac. I then took the dotting tool and made the paws on the orange tips. On the black tips, as you can see, I added more black to do the cat face, ears and tail.

This is all the polishes I uses: Ridge Filling Base Coat from Seche, Manhunter from H&M, 02 hello summer! from Essence, 944 Innocent from Sinful Colors, SPA12 Black and SPA02 White from Kiss Nail Art Paint and Dry Fast Top Coat from Seche Vite. And my dotting tool..

A lil pic with the bottles. Manhunter is my favorite black, which I notice yesterday when I painted...it's almost empty :-(

Here is Cutepolish video on how to do this, just follow Sandi's directions and you will be all fine :)

Swirl

Yesterday after the nailwarps came off my nails I did something I had seen a while ago. The swirl using  3 different polishes and a toothpick. I used Taupe from H&M, Germani-Cure By Opi from OPI and a black nail art pen from Kiss Nail Art Paint.

I started off by painting my nails with Taupe and then making crosses with Germani-Cure By OPI and the black nail art pen and with a toothpick doing swirls from the center off the nail to the edges so that the different nail polishes mixed. I think I turned out really nice, on my thumb but not on the other nails. I think you can only do this on short or middle length nails coz when they are the length I have now, on almost all my nails, then it's to long and the polish starts to dry and then the design won't be nice.

New polishes

The latest nailpolishes (bought from the 13th of September till last weekend) to my stash. . . 

From the top left to bottom right is: IsaDora Polar Nights, Depend 426, OPI In True Stefani Fashion and then H&M Khaki Madness, Lollipop Lullaby, Moonlight, Car Paint Purple, Midnight Mystery, Fluid Metal and Midnight Blue. 

All was on sale:

 H&M was 5 and 10kr, 

 Depend 15kr,

 IsaDora 29kr

 and OPI 83kr (instead of 155kr). . . 

when I see it like this, then I see that's a lot of blue this time... 

H&M - Moonlight + Nailwrap from Jamberry

Today I painted my nail with one of the nail polishes that I bought in Stockholm this weekend. I found a small (!?! haha it was a lot) sale at H&M and they sold out polishes for 5 and 10 Swedish crowns. So I started off with this: Moonlight. A sheer black with blue/green flakes that after 2-4 layers looks like this. I added a nail wrap on my pinkie from the brand Jamberry, it's called Skyline. For 10 Swedish crowns I think that it's a very good nail polish and I'm sad I didn't bought more!!

UPDATE!!! (10th of October)

So I took the nailwrap away and painted also my pinkie with Moonlight . I hope you can see the color a bit better on this picture but it's kinda hard to get the color shifting from the green and blue.

Galaxy Nails

Made some galaxy nails using Manhunter and Mon Amie from H&M, Sweet As Sugar from Rimmel and Chaotic from Sephora Formula X collection. . .

I started off by painting 2 layers of Manhunter (a beautiful black) and then sponged Mon Amie over the black polish in like a galaxy line over the nail. Mon Amie looks like it's a white/pearl polish but it's more white with gold. Which just as it is, looks like galaxies but I wasn't done with only 2 polishes. I then sponged Sweet As Sugar, a soft blue polish from Rimmel just like I did with Mon Amie. Over the whole thing I painted Chaotic from Sephora, a clear nailpolish with matte white and black hexagon and roads of glitter.  

Sheer tints. How to and manicure.

 Some days ago I did my own Sheer Tints ( I can't pay $25 for each Sheer Tint from OPI) after I saw a video that Nails By Joha did on Instagram. I know I did something similar at the age of 14 so it's not something new but I have never thought of having a white base and then do nail art with it... 

This is how I did: I used China Glaze Purple Panic, Sinful Colors Innocent (which I call "the Shrek green") and a blue from Primark (that turned purple after some days of mixing the polishes). I used clear polishes from Bissu (for the pink), FOF (for the green) and H&M (for the blue/purple) and I then added about 20 drops of the polishes I had decided for. Give it a good stir and then you have Sheer Tints in the colors of your choice :) 

 So today I painted my nails (on top of the Pink Mist from H&M) with China Glaze White on White and the sheer tints.

H&M - Pink Mist

This is Pink Mist from H&M one of the nailpolish I bought in UK. I painted my nails with it. Can you see that my nails are painted in this soft pink shade?!? Nope me either, but I think it's a very good polish to have when doing french manicure or when you want to have polished nails without showing. . .

Macro picture of my nail

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while... I was in Oxford from the 28th of June to the 18th of July and this Monday the 21st I started working again home here in Sweden.. I have had some different manicures during this time but I haven't had time to take pictures of it. This is actually my thumb nail that, in the last minute, I remembered to take a picture of today when I was almost finished removing this to do another mani. 

It's Shanghai Nights from H&M that I bought in Oxford for only £1 and  Chaotic from the Formula X series from Sephora. I painted Shanghai Nights already when I was in Oxford and then i added the Chaotic when I got home . I used my Iphone 4s and a olloclip to take this picture with the macro lens.

Gold nails

Today I went to Stockholm with my mother and my godmother.

and after all the colorful nails I have had I decided to do a more "simple" color on my nails. So I used H&M - Antique Gold and Sephora's Formula X - Light My Fire (that I painted on my ring finger).

OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark + Essence - Waking Up In Vegas

I made a quick nailart using Lincoln Park After Dark from OPI and to make it a bit more extra i used Waking Up In Vegas from Essence and a Matte Top Coat from H&M. Waking Up In Vegas is a flakie polish that shifts in all the colors of the rainbow. 

China Glaze and Seche at H&M

Hello,

some days ago I saw on Instagram that H&M had started to sell China Glaze (!!!!) in their stores. So on Monday after work I went downtown and to H&M.... I didn't only buy nailpolish but also shampoo, conditioner and deodorant that they had on sale.

 So I bought Seche's Base coat, manly coz it's a ridge filling base coat and I been planing on buying one for my nails a long time since my thumb sometimes makes me go bonkers... 

 And I bought this China Glaze 1008 Purple Panic a neon, well I would call it PINK and not PURPLE... and it dries matte. And it's really really neon!

ps. the pictures does not capture the real color very well but trust me on that it's neon and pink!

Oh My...

The 11th of February  

 I have previously done water marbling but this time I wanted to try out the spotted effect so I did just like when water marbling but with one small change... I had a spray bottle with vodka in it and I sprayed on the black polish before I stuck my finger in the water and yeap there where a spotted effect :) I used H&M "Manhunter" and "Lucky Lady"

The same day my friend came and I bought some polishes from her :) (she is moving to L.A and is selling of her things that she can't bring with her)

I bought "My Private Jet", "The It Color", "Japanese Rose Garden", "Ate Berries In The Canaries", "Shorts Story" and "Koala Bear-y"

The 19th of February 

My friend came over so I could re-make her nails.

 This first picture is of her nails that I hade done like 10 days earlier. I used two shades of blue from the brand Bissu and then I added some glitter from H&M on her ringfinger.

I did the Caviar Nail Art with the polishes from Primark that I wrote about here

The 20th of February

On the 22nd of February I went to Stockholm to see 30 Seconds To Mars and therefore I made a 30STM inspired nailart on my nails... I did the triad, the symbols and the white with colorful dots from the latest cd cover *LoveLustFaithDreams*

The 24th of February

I had hard to decide which PINK OPI polish I was going to have..... SO I tried out all the shades that I have... 

The 27th of February

I then decided for "Japanese Rose Garden". 

Unfortunately just 2 days after this happened... :

My nail broke right down and actually continued to do so even today ...same nail was cracked in two halves when I took away my last nail art today :( 

The 3rd of March

I painted my nails with 2 different grey holo polishes . Nails inc - "Royal Mews" and Kiko - 400 

A bit of macro of the holos ... so nice :)

The 6th of March

I then went over to China Glazes "White on White " and used a sponge to add H&M's "Miss Stone Heart" and "Manhunter"

The 12th of March

I saw a post on Pinterest, when I was browsing for ideas, on this owl painted on grey holo polish so I did my own but whit OPI's "My private Jet" as a base  and the I used white and black from Kiss Nail Art Polishes and OPI's "Barefoot in Barcelona" for the eyes.

I then also painted the same owl on my dads cousins nail, she wanted to show it to her kids at work,

but instead of OPI I used H&M "Nice N'Naughty" as a base. I had also, the day before, painted my mums nails with IsaDora "31 Burgundy Rose"
