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. 

Kiss Nail Art Paint

A girl can never have to many nail art bottles so therefore I bought some more colors and I have used them quite often since I did.. 

also a nail art correcter pen is very useful to have (one or two or more....). Here are the colors Soft Purple, Beach Pink and Soft Blue from Kiss and you also get nail tips guides so you can do french manicure :)

OPI - You Only Live Twice and some Christmasy nails

So for this nail day I used the above polishes: 

OPI - Goldeneye 

OPI - I Snow You Love Me

OPI  - You Only Live Twice 

L.A Colors Art Deco - Bright Green

and some nails stones and glitters

I started off by painting my nails with You Only Live Twice, except that I didn't do that on my left hand ringfinger cuz that one I painted with Goldeneye. I did 2 layers to get it proper opac and then a layer of Seche Vite.

I added glitter to You Only Live Twice with the glitter from I Snow You Love Me, the round ones, and stars from a nail art pack from I think Stradivarius that I got from my friends. On Goldeneye I added 3 red stones and I tried (!) to do the leaves for the holly with a toothpick and some green nail art paint. Not completely satisfied with them but ok... 

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.

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.

OPI - Pedal Faster Suzi! + Cheetah nail art..

Today I painted my nails with one of the polishes I bought at Rusta in Karlstad. OPI's Pedal Faster Suzi! from the Holland Collection. This is a bright soft pink with shimmer in it (which you sadly can't see on the pics). If you like pink, just like I do, then this is a very nice pink to have in your stash!

UPDATE

I did some cheetah prints on my nails with the colors Intense Pink from L.A Colors and Black from Kiss Nail Art Paint.

I'm not very good at cheetah prints since it's my first time I'm doing it..

The Great Gatsby inspired nails

Actually I started with this post before the last one but I was eager to show you the wraps, BUT here is my nails for this week ( let's see how long time I'm keeping this). 

I think they are very much inspired by The Great Gatsby movie, it must be the gold that makes me think of Leonardo DiCaprio, swinging dresses, ladies with necklaces and endless drinking.

For this mani I used OPI 4 in the morning from the Gwen Stefani collection and My favorite ornament from the Mariah Carey collection. I started off by painting the black polish on 4 of my nails and the gold on my ringfinger. The lines on my pinkie and index finger I painted on without any help, but to the chevrons on my middle finger I did use a Nail Tip Guide (that my mum bought from Oriflame like ages ago). On my thumb I did dots with a doting tool that I bought in Mexico last time I was home.

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.

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.

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.

Aztec / Tribal inspired nail art...

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)

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..

Dice nail art....

well since I did a Piet Mondrian inspired nail art on my left hand (I'm right handed and can only get a nice nail art design on my left hand.....) I had to do something with my right hand. I did a little digging thru my pinterest pics and found a pic of  dices... goddie I thought

So this was the (not) so nice result of my dices ... I already had Maybelline - 130 Winter Baby on my nails and then I just added the black dots whit my Models Own nail art pen.

nails inc. - Royal Mews & Paris inspired nail art

Yesterday when I was sitting and waiting for the family to come I did a french manicure on my nails with some Paris inspired nail art (cos my cousin and his girlfriend did a stop there on there Europe trip)

But please ignore my failed mustache :/ 

 Models Own - Black nail art pen that I got for free last year when you bought 2 nail polishes from Models Own and nails inc. - Royal Mews that I bought at a blog sale last year. Royal Mews is a silver holographic that is really nice and not screaming holographic.

OPI - DS Mystery & Nail Art - Rock Chic

Hello people :)

so last week I told you about the nail art kit that Kimmie bought me in UK (read about it here), well and that I was going to do something with it on my nails for the weekend. Well I went "out" Friday, only to a pre-party and then I came with unpolished nails (arrrgh so ugly) but Sunday night I decided to do my nails. Anya and me had been down town earlier in the week and we stumbled across a sale (30% on everything in the store, since they are closing down). The normal price for OPI in this store was 139 kr and the Mavala 45kr.... So I bought:

OPI - DS Mystery
OPI - DS Luxurious
OPI - Casino Royale
Mavala - Mexico (that was one of my first polishes when I was little)

The DS Collection from OPI is very rare here in Sweden and to be honest I haven't seen one single bottle of it before in my hometown...

Well what can I say about DS Mystery..it's a dark purple shade with goldie shimmer and with 2 layers on the nails it's almost black

I used some of the things in the nail art kit Kim bought me at River Island in UK.

I used 1 pearl and 4 metal square studs to make like a cross, but I promise it will come more things with the Rock Chic nail art, specially before the Hurts concert I'm going to in March :)

Here you can see the goldie shimmer in the polish

For you in Sweden

Tuesday when I went to the store, Netto, I found this amongst there things:

Nail Art Kit with 8 colours; black, white, pink, red, purple, green, yellow and blue for only 80 krs.. It may not be the best of quality but I'm willing to take a chance.
