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..

Nailmail from Born Pretty Store

Look look what came in the mail today, only after 7 workdays of shipping from Singapore to Sweden :) 

(as you can see I'm still sporting the manicure from last week, I will take it away today)

And it contained all thisssss !!! Nail stickers, 5 stamping plates, cable to my iPhone and also a opening stick, 2 iPhone covers ( 1 Hello Kitty and 1 The Fault In Our Stars), 1 crown ring and 1 bracelet inspired by Harry Potter (owls, the snitch and the deathly hallows)

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.

Jamberry nail wraps

Today when I went out to the mail box there was a long envelope that have made it's journey  all the way from South Carolina, Charleston to be precis. 

My friends friend, Kate, invited me to her first launch party on FB as a Jamberry Nail Wrap consultant and well I couldn't say no and I need to try out what nail wraps are, cuz frankly I have only used my nail polishes and from now and then used stamping plates and stones. ( I have to broaden my horizon in the nail art area)...

OPI all my purple polishes

Today I participated in a competition on Instagram with OPI Sverige and the #opilila. The competition was to create a nail art with their purple polishes

I used all my purple colors of nailpolish that I have from OPI. The base is Lucky Lucky Lavender and then I did dots with the colors Do You Lilac It?, Suzi And The 7 Düsseldorfs, Casino Royal, Significant Other Color, Dutch'ya Just Love Opi?, Diva Of Geneva, Seriously Purple and accent color using the lovely Push And Shove.

OPI - Diva of Geneva & Essie - As gold as it gets (MATTE)

Well hello lovelies, 

since I bought Diva of Geneva from OPI now when I finally found it (I have searched but with no luck until now). I thought I was going to do something that I saw on Pinterest looooooong time ago. And that was Diva of Geneva with a flakie polish and matte top coat. And of course now when I finally have it I had to re-create the style.

I started of with 2 layers of Diva of Geneva from OPI and then a layer of As Gold As It Gets from essie and then top of with a matte top coat from H&M.

OPI Haul from Rusta in Karlstad

This is what happens when you go to Karlstad and enter the Rusta store and find out the they sell OPI for 35kr/each (instead of 150kr)!!! . . . 

Pedal Faster Suzi!, Thanks A Windmillion, I Don't Give A Rotterdam!,  Dutch'ya Just Love Opi? and Diva Of Geneva. 

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.

OPI - Alcatraz...Rocks

I think I have already posted a blogpost about Alcatraz...Rocks from OPI, like last year... well well, here is a new one. I bought A.R when I was traveling the US west coast last year and very convenient since we where almost a week in San Francisco and visited Alcatraz. 

Alcatraz...Rocks is a blue/gold/purple liquid sand from the San Francisco collection that came out last year. 

It's very hard for both my iPhone and camera to cover the awesomeness that this polish is..

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.  

Sheer tints. How to and manicure.

 Some days ago I did my own Sheer Tints ( I can't pay $25 for each Sheer Tint from OPI) after I saw a video that Nails By Joha did on Instagram. I know I did something similar at the age of 14 so it's not something new but I have never thought of having a white base and then do nail art with it... 

This is how I did: I used China Glaze Purple Panic, Sinful Colors Innocent (which I call "the Shrek green") and a blue from Primark (that turned purple after some days of mixing the polishes). I used clear polishes from Bissu (for the pink), FOF (for the green) and H&M (for the blue/purple) and I then added about 20 drops of the polishes I had decided for. Give it a good stir and then you have Sheer Tints in the colors of your choice :) 

 So today I painted my nails (on top of the Pink Mist from H&M) with China Glaze White on White and the sheer tints.

H&M - Pink Mist

This is Pink Mist from H&M one of the nailpolish I bought in UK. I painted my nails with it. Can you see that my nails are painted in this soft pink shade?!? Nope me either, but I think it's a very good polish to have when doing french manicure or when you want to have polished nails without showing. . .

Depend

On Friday I had my German translation exam, I hate that exam cuz I have done it soooo many times.. so after the exam one of my classmates and I went down to the city center to just walk, well we ended up at Harmoniq here in Västerås and they had a sale on a lot of stuff... 

So yeah I bought some Depend nailpolishes since they had lower the price from 25kr to 17 kr... only 8 kr but ok, I needed something to cheer me up.

The polishes from Depend don't have any names but numbers, so the numbers I got this time was : 202, 369, 392 and 405

Nails Inc - Lanesborough Place and stamping with Bissu & OPI - Push & Shove

Today I painted my nails with Nails Inc - Lanesborough Place, that I got from my friend Rica (check her blog, she makes jewellery), a golden nailpolish and over it a made some stamping with anchors and swallows (with a plate from essence, that I bought in Bremen or Hamburg) with a black Bissu and the silver Push And Shove from OPI. 

The Lansborough Place was a bit hard to apply even on my nails, I don't know if it's starting to be "old" or cuz it's in a small bottle ( I seam to always have problem with small bottle polishes...)
