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.

Painting kids nails

Today we had people over and with that some kids... My goddaughter, her brother and their 2 cousins.. And of course they all wanted me to paint their nails. My goddaughter is 10 years and her brother 3 years, their cousins are 6 and 4 years. I let them go thru all my swatches and after a very long time they had all decided.

 Here they are all the 4 hands of the kids :)

 

My goddaughter wanted a blue polish so she decided for Rimmel - 130 Apple Berry Smoothie from the Cocktail Colour collection from last year. 

 

 The brother had a nailpolish with him from home, a blue polish from Depend. 

 

 The cousin 1, wanted gold, so he decided on OPI - Goldeneye

 The cousin 2, wanted the same color as his pike so OPI- Lucky Lucky Lavender was the perfect match to it.

Yellow/orange water marble

One of the polishes I got from my friend Rica was a yellow polish from Wet n wild - The Wonder Yellows, I used it as a base for a yellow and orange water marbling. 

It's a shear yellow and this is after 2 layers. When it was dry enough I took out all the yellow and orange that I have in my Helmers and looked which ones that would fit for a water marbling.

Essence - 02 hello summer! 

BarryM - Tangerine

H&M - Lemon Tree

OPI - it's a bird, it's a plane, it's OPI !

Rimmel - 280 Sunshine 

I did a swirl on my ringfinger and water marble on my middle and index finger. 

New polishes

Hello all,

Like I wrote in Saturdays post I was on my way to Stockholm to meet some friends. One of the was Rica (which I have talked about before). She had done some cleaning at home and therefore she gave me 5 polishes she was going to throw away 😱. 

It's Wet n' wild - The Wonder Yellows, Rimmel - 430 Coralicious, Mavala - 183 Pistachio, nails inc. - Notting Hill Gate and Lanesborough Place. 

World Diabetes Day

Hello,

right now I'm on my way to the capital of Sweden, Stockholm, to meet some friends that I don't see that often. So today I'm blogging from a moving buss 😁 

This past Thursday it was World Diabetes Day, even if I wrote International Diabetes Day on Instagram (oh well well). My dad was diagnosed with Diabetes this January and since then we have changed our food habits and both dad and me have lost weight. Since it was World Diabetes Day you should paint your nails in blue. Well I did that and also tried water marbling for the first time and to be honest I'm impressed on how good it turned out for being my first time 😊

I really like painting my nails 💅 and I don't feel complete with bare nails. 

This is the finished result of my nails on Thursday :-) 

I'm kinda back :)

I have been absent longer then I expected from the start.... I was only gonna be gone for 3 weeks (due to working in Spain) but I arrived 2 ½ weeks ago and still I haven't written here... it's a lot going on, with my future travel plans, Uni, friends and family and that's why I haven't been able to take pictures of my nails/nail polishes and write here. But today I took time and photographed my newbies:)


So here goes!

The polishes I bought in Spain

Rimmel Cocktail Colour - 130 Apple Berry Smoothie, Yes Love - 609, Yes Love - D6, Catrice - 450 Sand-Francisco, essence - 131 Ballerina's charm, essence - 01 Gold old Buffy and essence - 04 The Dawn is broken

 ..and this with flash

and then some of my kidz in Spain where going to throw this away.... 2 French Manicure Pens, from KIKO and Artdeco.... So I took them

H&M - Nice N' Naughty & Rimmel - 500 Disco Ball

Yesterday I painted my nails with H&M's Nice N' Naughty and Rimmel's Disco Ball.

Disco Ball is a glitter polish with very small silver glitter and bigger pink and blue glitters. And Nice N' Naughty is a metallic grey polish .

I think the grey polish has a blue undertone

Here you can see my very short nails :(

Disco Ball do glitters in all colors not only the silver, pink and blue that the glitter is in

New additions

So there has been some new additions to all my polishes... Mostly cos of sales


ASOS:

OPI - Moonraker from the James Bond Collection, Models Own - Cooper Pot and Golden Green from the Beetlejuice Collection and Rimmel - 239 Your Majesty and 500 Disco Ball.

And YES they where cheaper ... :)

OPI is normally 150 kr and now I got it for 64kr 

Models Own is normally 58 kr (or something around that) but now I got them for 34 and 40 kr

and Rimmel to the normal cheap price 29 kr. 

SALE in Stores:

 Past a store that is closing and it was 30% off everything

So I bought OPI - Casino Royale from the James Bond Collection, DS Luxurious and DS Mystery and Mavala - Mexico

 OPI was 139 kr each before and Mavala was 45 kr before  MINUS the 30 % :)

Then at H&M I got this to for 10kr each... Oh la la and Wanna pepperoni

Then also my friend Anna gave me this 2 polishes from Korea... nr 49 and 74 from the brand innisfree

Rearranging my Helmer

In September my friend Sara and I went to a big shopping center, in one of the corners they have IKEA...so I bought a Helmer (read about it here). I then ordered my polishes after colour, I thought that was a smart idea... well not long after I changed it again (!). Now I have them in brands instead... much easier.

So here comes my pics of my new arrangement

From left to right: H&M and OPI

I think H&M was the first place where I bought my own polishes, the roundish ones (and not using my mums). And I really like O.P.I, but as I have written earlier here in the blog is that a bottle costs 150 kr (about $ 23 !!!!!)

From left to right: Models Own, BarryM and IsaDora

IsaDora got me hooked on nail polish and that with the help of my godmother, that bought me 2 bottles just like that...

From left to right: Yves Rocher, nails. inc , L.A Color and Rimmel

Some of the Yves Rocher I have had since I was 15-16 years old.. but still working perfectly :)

From the back to front and left to right: Essence, Kiss Nail Art Paint, Pixi, Viva La Diva, Depend and 17

From the back to front and left to right: Collection, Essie, Maybelline, Pieces, bissu, Lacura, Jore, Primark, Fantasia, missguided, Manhattan and Amour. 

And this is my Mix drawer...

I got the Blues

for you :)
Well I dug up all my Blue nail polishes from my Helmer and here they are. 

Amour , Rimmel - 704 Sweet as Sugar, IsaDora - 738 Blue Lagoon, H&M - Nail Him and L.A. Colors - NP467 Pacific Blue

BarryM - 291 Cobalt Blue, IsaDora - 739 Surfers Paradise, BarryM - 292 Navy, IsaDora - 732 Papagayo Blue and Depend - 041.

I took the pictures with the only sun I have seen in a long time... just a half hour later it was gone and the sky was grey and it started to be a very thick white fog amongst the houses. That's autumn in Sweden.

AND APPARENTLY IT'S WORLD DIABETES DAY TODAY AND YOU SHOULD WEAR BLUE 

Helmer and new polish

I went with my friend S. to a big shopping centre...I came home with 7 polishes and Helmer....yes we did go to IKEA.

And here are the polishes: Lady Luck, Nerd, Manhunter, Nail Him, Antique Gold, Matte Top Coat and 859 Iron Lady with magnet.
