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 :)

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. 

Essence - 04 Sugar Plum Fairy

This is what I uploaded on my Instagram like a week ago. The Happy Holidays nailpolish from essance in the color 04 Sugar Plum Fairy. My friend Constance bought it to me in Siegen, Germany (where she lived until February) which I wrote about here 

And this I took the same day I was taking it away from my nails.. As you can see I only used one part of the 2 part polish. I didn't want to use glitter this time but only the pure glossy polish.

Oh My...

...how could I haven't written here since end of January!!!!!!! The thing is that I post all my things on Instagram (cos I got lazy and I have to much things to do...) My instagram is here, you can all go and follow :-)

Last time I did a post was of ALL the manis I had had in January (this:)

After that I have added 17(!) pics of my nails, my friends nails and some family members nails that I have done, but not here ONLY on Instagram..... 

The 4th of February 

I did my first plaided nailart :) In pink ! Using IsaDora "115 Water Rose" and Pixi "35 Luminous Lilac"

First picture where like 7 o'clock in the morning with my bed light as a light source and the second picture was when I came home from work and I used the light from outside.. 

The 10th of February

I meet up with my friend that moved back from Germany and she had bought me 2 polishes and brought with her some polishes that I bought from a nail blogger in München :) 

I bought  Essence - "Dreams For Sale" and "Waking Up In Vegas" from the blogsale, my friend bought Essence - "Sugar Plum Fairy" and "As Long As You Love Me". I also got Manhattan - "Lotus Effect" and  eyeliner from Catrice - 140 Chocwave from Daniela who has the blogsale. 

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"

TODAY

 I posted this to Instagram, the first time I did a fishtail och braided nail art. I used OPI "Koala Bear-y" and "Shorts Story" and Manhattan "Lotus Effect" in number 1.

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.

Soon off again

...on Monday I fly over to USA and it's been a lot happening the last couple of weeks.

I have actually only painted my nails 2 times, which is not that much, and I have painted my mums nails with french manicure.

I started with Ciaté - Headline. This is in direct sunlight while sitting in our car. As you can see there are bubbles under the polish, I think it comes from the base coat that I had (since I don't want to have stained nails again, read about it here
and here ). Is that something you have

And this is how it looks in flash, no bubbles but they are there

and again with the bubbles :/

This are my mums hands, where I did some French manicure with the French Manicure Pen that I rescued from the trash that my kids where gonna throw in Spain, only cos they had to much weight in the suitcases...... 

I used first a layer of Anti-breakage from Yves Rocher, then with the French Manicure Pen I drew on the lines on the tips of my mums nails. Had to do it 2 times to get a nice cover.

Right now I have essence - 04 The Dawn is broken. It's a grey nail polish with small black, grey, goldish glitter. But not chunks of glitter is more like sand 

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
