Geometrical nail art

Almost a year ago when I was on the plane home from Marrakesh I saw a picture of a manicure that I liked so I screenshot it so that I would be able to re-create it later.

Here is what I did. The white base is "White on White" from China Glaze the rest are nail art nail polishes from Kiss USA "Kiss Nail Art Paint" in Black, Silver Glitter, Soft Blue, Beach Pink and Soft Purple. Also the L.A Colors Art Deco in Bright Green and some miscellaneous from Walmart in Mexico. 

Watermarble in black and white

So two days ago I uploaded this to my Instagram, it was late in the evening and as always I was in front of the computer doing my nails. I have previously done water marbling on my nails but always thought it looked ugly and that I hadn't done it correctly. But two days ago I think I actually made I great job with this black and white watermarble. 

I used this two nail polishes. China Glaze White on White, not only for the marble but also as the base on the nails, and Bissu in black (there is no names on the bottles)...

My left hand 

 

and my right hand

I was not going to...

but I did anyway and did it means bought more polishes...

I had a 20 % coupon so I bought the OPI Breast Cancer Awareness 2014 polishes The Power of Pink and Mod about you with that. Then when I went to H&M, cuz I was buying more nail polish remover, I saw that they had lower the price for China Glaze and that they had my favorite white which is White On White.

Trio with tape

On Sunday I painted my nails with these 3 green/blue/grey-ish polishes over my white nails, I used China Glaze White on White.

To do this design I wanted to use my striping tape that I bought at Born Pretty Store but then I decided to use normal tape and cut it with my scissors instead since I wanted different sizes and I didn't have the patient to add 2-3 striping tape when I wanted a thick line.. so yeah here is the result.

This is my left hand

 and my right hand.

The green polish is Essie Mojito Madness, the grey-ish polish is OPI Thanks a Windmillion and the blue-ish polish is Yesensy and I think the name or number is 049.

The design in my head was much nicer, this is just ok, and to be honest it takes a lot of time to do this with all the tape. You kind of have to be fast doing it cuz the polish starts to dry and then it's a bit hard to take the tape of the nails.

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 :)

New Polishes

oh holly, don't let me come close to a store that sells nailpolishes cuz I always find some new one that I want.

Last weekend I went home to my friend in Stockholm, since she had her birthday on Monday and we then had the party on Saturday and went out in Stockholm. 

But before going home to my friend, I did a small detour to Bromma Blocks since they have Rusta (the place where I found OPI for only 35 kr instead of 155kr for each bottle). But when I got there they only had Thanks a Windmillion from OPI, which I already got last time.... So instead I bought 2 bottles of Sally Hansen, like the only place you can get it. Did I mention I don't like living in Sweden cuz the tax is a joke on make up, hygiene articles and stuff like that, so please don't complain if a polish in UK or USA is "expensive", since the price for ONE OPI is 155 kr = $21, £13 or €17 (more or less). And some brands we don't even have here and therefore never will have the pleasure to try out :( 

Sorry about the rant, but saw someone on Instagram complaining on the price for an OPI being $ 8 for a bottle and I was like "yessez woman, that's nothing". 

 So this is all I got

814 Platinum Star and 816 Malbec - Sally Hansen from Rusta 29kr/each

Toggle to the top and Belugaria - Essie from H&M 50kr/each

128 Ocean Crush and 866 Dragon - IsaDora from H&M 30kr and 10kr 

233 Spontaneous - China Glaze from H&M 30 kr

Ciaté - Strawberry Milkshake 079 and dreamcatchers & feather nailart.

After my doodling post yesterday I took it away and painted my nails with Ciaté Strawberry Milkshake that is from the Caviar Manicure together with Rainbow  (that I got from my co-worker). 

As you can see it really is the color of a Strawberry Milkshake. I had a hard time applying it to my nails, cuz Ciaté dries fast and you need a bit of polish to cover the whole nail before it dries and yeah I had to little and it got messy in the beginning but then I sorted things out. 

In the evening I sat infront of the computer and did this: 

Some dreamcatchers and feathers using nailart pens from Models Own, Amour, Kiss Nail Art Paint and L.A. Colors Art Deco. 

And here are all the polishes I used: Gold Glitter and Intense Pink from L.A. Colors Art Deco, blue from the food store, red from Amour, Strawberry Milkshake from Ciaté, black from Models Own and Silver Glitter, White and Black from Kiss Nail Art Paint.

And a picture without flash.

BarryM - Blue Plum

I continue with yet another blue polish. This time Blue Plum from Barry M's Gelly series. The Gelly series gives a hi-shine and boy I can tell you that just after 2 layers and NOOOO topcoat it leaves your nails looking like this!!

I'm telling you, just look how deep and shinny they are!! I wish we had BarryM in Sweden but oh no, we don't :(

I got a bit inspired by one of my mums t-shirts so I did a nautical nail art on three of my nails. I stamped the stars and the anchor with a white Bissu polish and then with the white Kiss Nail Art Paint I drew the lines and also filled in the starts, since they where a bit pale.

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.  

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.

Water fall nails for Robbie Williams concert

Today my 3 friends , Rica, Ida and Milla , and I are going to Globen in Stockholm to see Robbie Williams.. Last time I saw him was in the summer of 2003..

To do nails that fit for the occasion wasn't hard.. I knew I wanted to do a Union Jack since R.W is from Stoke-On-Trent and since the base for the flag is blue is just continued with the blue colors make my first waterfall nailart.

Last weekend, yes I know it's Thursday today but I haven been ill the last couple of days, I painted my nails orange cos my friend Rica was coming over (she looooooves orange)

My friend from work, Maria, sent me this picture of here friend nails sometime this summer, for me to do, but I didn't have the time but now I did :)

so I decided to do something similar whit my orange nails... 

The only sad thing is that my middle finger nail broke while I was taking out the clothes from the washing mashine and that's why it looks a bit odd.. (you can see the white nail art polish is just cut of in the middle, like I haven't finish the line but that is where the nail broke)

Nailpolishes from Sephora

hello all,

when I was in USA, I was looking for a specific polish at Sephora, the X-Chaotic, I even asked my friend Rica to search for it when she was in NY in the spring... but nope, they where all out. Also now when I was in L.A, they didn't even have the "Try Me" bottle left in the stores... One of the girls at Sephora told me that they where coming out with new bottles soon and yeah now they are out.

So I have ordered some polishes and they have arrived to my friends place in Seattle, now it just have to come all the way to Sweden without breaking..

Turbulent

 Chaotic

Light my fire

What I have been wearing (both hands and feet)

 Hello all,

so new day and a new post :) I have been bad on posting, but this was only due cos I didn't have my computer while I was on the trip, it was enough with cellphone.. 

I started of my trip with a very funny combination, unfortunately the picture is not good since it was already night, I was sitting in a car and the flash didn't wanna work... but yeah

 It's SinfulColors - 944 Innocent and Sally Hansen - 700 Wool Knot

 after that I went liquid sand with OPI's Pussy Galore and Magazine cover mouse

 Before leaving USA I painted my nails with OPI's - Can't find my Czechbook and SinfulColors - 940 Rise and Shine

When I came home I panted my nails with OPI's Hawaiian orchid and made small flowers with the Art Deco - Intense Pink and a yellow nail art pen that I have from before.

 I got my toe nails done in Chinatown, don't ask me the name of the polish I only know that it was Orly, but I don't remember the name :/ which I regret that I didn't write down cos I like the color... Really nice people in the store, went spent almost 2 hrs there if I'm not mistaking, we talked about everything while they where doing my friends nails and then my toe nails. 

(OH btw, if I get negative comments on my feet I will just assume it's cos your so damn jealous of my California tanned cute little feet, I don't think your feet is better looking then mine.....)

 Yesterday I painted my nails with OPI's - Alcatraz.....rocks , one of the liquid sands from the new OPI collection called SAN FRANCISCO (convenient me being there and all this fall). It's a very nice and glittery blue liquid sand which my camera has a slight problem with since it can't focus cos of all the glitter that sparkles.

oh something extra...

Saturday I was in Stockholm for work, we had reunion with all the kids that went abroad this summer and there they where giving out magazines and when we where leaving, there where still a pile and I looked thru them and found one that had nailpolish :) SO this a Raspberry colored polish..
