Feather nail art


Some days ago I made this nail art design on my nails. I started of wit h China Glaze's "White on White" and then I used my nail art polishes in black, purple, blue, pink, green and yellow to do this feather nail art design on my nails...

Fishtail or braided nails



In the beginning of last week I did this nail art that I have never done before.... the fishtail or braided nails. (This is also one of those I haven seen browsing thru nail art pictures on Pinterest and/or Internet). 

I started of by painting all my nails with OPI's "Koala Bear-y", then om my ring finger I did the fishtail or braided part of the nail art by also using OPI's "Shorts Story" and Manhattan 's Lotus Effect in number 1.

Owl nailart

So some weeks ago I was browsing thru Pinterest and I found a owl nail art design so I made it :-)



I started of by painting all my nails with OPI "My private Jet". I painted like 2 or 3 layers so that it was opac. I then used my Kiss Nail Art polishes in white and black together with OPI's "Barefoot in Barcelona" to do the owls face using the nail art polishes thin brushes but also a dotting tool. 

Unfortunately I think "My private jet" is very colorful and the white polish got pink-ish cos of all the pigment in "My private jet". I did the owl on my dads cousins nail and then I used another base polish and the white did not change color.

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. 


ALL PICS ARE FROM INSTAGRAM, SO SORRY FOR THE BAD QUALITY. I WILL SOON POST BETTER...JUST HAVE TO GET THEM FROM THE CARD TO MY COMPUTER :)

Essie - "Stylenomics" and "As gold as it gets"

Hello all, 

I know that I have already written about Essie's - Stylenomics before, but I decided to paint my nails again in this dark dark green color. It looks black on the nails but to make it more festive, since it's December and all, I also painted  Essie's - As gold as it gets, that I bought in Seattle (the last bottle at that Target!!). It's a clear polish with gold flakes that don't take over on your nails just makes them sparkle a tad more :-) 


I hope you can see the sparkle but it was really dark outside and my lamp didn't help out that much.

Models Own - Juicy Jules and Peach Sherbet

Some days ago I painted my nails with models owns polishes Juicy Jules and Peach Sherbet in what can be a very nice manicure for a wedding

I didn't take the swirl away on my ringfinger cos I really liked it and therefore it will stay. Juicy Jules is a silver glitter with holographic. 

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.

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 :-)

OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark

This weekend I painted my nails in one of the colors that I bought when I was in USA. It's OPI's "Lincoln Park After Dark" a very dark purple that almost look like a black polish. I only painted my nails with 2 coats. Not even a top coat but I think it looks so great just like it is!
