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)

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..

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 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:)

H&M - Come Along With Me & Essence Twins Reloaded - 01 Bella

Today the princess Madeleine married her man Chris O'Neill in Stockholm and they had a wonderful weather, I only live 1 hr west from the capital and here it was raining almost the whole day :(

Last time I was in Stockholm I past a H&M store on the way to the trainstation and amongst the SALE things I found this polish whit the name Come Along With Me for only 10 kr.

So today when I sat in front of the tv watching the wedding I decided to use my new blue color and add some glitter just like all the glitter from the tiaras from the wedding.

H&M - Manhunter and Essence - Re-mix your style DANCE (Waking up in Vegas)

Hello everyone,

I was going to show you this already earlier in the week but I have had a lot to do...

I got tired of the golden nails and went back to black with a twist of course. You will have to excuse the pictures cos first of all it's hard to take good picture of this top coat and secondly I took them after some days and the polish had already started to chip after a weekend digging in the garden.


     I used H&M's Manhunter (which I also used in this post) as a base and then I added Essence - Waking up in Vegas. When you see it in the bottle it's not anything extraordinarily
 
 
But on the nails it comes out to it's full potentials ....I'm just said that this polish is no longer in the Essence stock, I bought mine from Dolores in Slovenia,  but it's no longer on the assortment that essence have out in the stores :(
