Nails inc. - Royal Mews and stamping with BPS plate QA88


 So I will start of this post with this macro shot of my nails wearing Royal Mews from nails inc. It's a silver holographic nail polish. I painted black under as a base coat so that the holo would pop better.


I used this plate, QA 88, from Born Pretty Store.


And this is my final result, a bit dry around the nails since it was so cold here.

OPI - 4 in the morning and China Glaze - Electrify

I did yet another combo with glitters... I liked the last one so much that I needed to do yet another. But this time it's a more autumny look to it and it kinda reminds me of Thanksgiving and Halloween, I know many months left but yeah...

For this darker combo I used OPI's 4 in the morning from the Gwen Stefani collection and Electrify from China Glaze and the Hunger Games collection ( I think...)

I started off with 2 layers of 4 in the morning a dark grey, cuz it's not black, and then I added some layers of Electrify.

Pieces from Vero Moda stores


I went to Vero Moda in my city to see if I could find a pair of black skinny jeans.. mine are more then 10 years old and are starting to, well break is the only word to use... 

But I couldn't find any jeans that I liked...I did however stumbled across some nailpolishes since they had mid-season sale... (a lot of clothes where on sale, some accessories and then nailpolish).
I bought one of each color that was on sale, they only cost 10 kr (Swedish Crowns) each.. Which in Sweden is a damn fine bargain!!!



From left to right: Dusty Green, Light Sand, Khaki Green, Wine Red, Mocca, Nature Brown, Lime, Sailor Blue and Midnight Blue

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

Hurts

Ohhhhh me so happy :)

 Tomorrow, Monday, I'm going to Stockholm to see Hurts

and of course I wanted some matching design on my nails for the concert... The things is that almost 100% of all the pictures that exists on Adam and Theo are in black and white (or should I say grey). So I decided to paint my nails with H&M's "Miss Stone Heart", which I got for 5kr (£0.50 , $0.78,  €0.60).

After that I painted with  Matte Top Coat also from H&M and then it was time for some nail art... I ended up doing branches on 4 nails and also a Blackbird in my ring finger nail.... On my thumb I did a black tree (really ugly) with silver lining, which is the name of one of the songs from Hurts.
This is my left hand
Since I'm a right handed person my nails on the left hand always look sooooooo much better and the right hand is always a little bit neglected, but I did paint them this time, some times they will only get base coat, but today I pulled thru :)

 Some time ago I saw on Adams or Theos Instagram a picture with 2 crocked crosses ( I can't find them anymore, perhaps someone got upset about them and they had to take them away), so I painted that on my ring finger on my right hand.

OPI - Moonraker & You glitter be good to me

After the colorful polishes that I had on my nails during the weekend I wanted to go back to a more softer shade, that didn't scream out...

so I took Moonraker from the James Bond Collection and added some glitter on my ring finger nail.
To be honest Moonraker is the WORST polish I have had on my nails!!!!!! EVER

Just look at this pic of my nails....is the day after I applied 2 layers of polish and it has already peeled of so much that you can almost completely see my nail AND the formula was sooooooo watery which made it hard to apply :(

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
