NAIL ART | SPIDER WEB AND ORANGE GLITTER

Hello everyone how are you doing. Hope you're having an awesome Halloween party night even though it's Thursday. I've been dying to upload this nail art as soon as I saw it at Robin Moses' YouTube channel this week (you should really watch her beautiful nail designs). I basically removed my previous design immediately, but just couldn't take pictures as I came home after sunset. Today was the same problem again, but I just had to upload it anyhow. I tried to lighten them a bit so they became as realistic as possible. I also totally forgot to use some moisturizer before taking these, so please excuse the dry hands.

Manicure Details*

Index finger, middle finger and pinkie: 

• 1 coat of China Glaze - Sun Worshiper (too neon for this look)
• 1 coat of China Glaze -  Papaya Punch
• 1 coat of Hema - Clear polish mixed with Inaz - Pennywise Glam
• Gradient with Herome - St. Moritz
• Black acrylic 

Thumb and ring finger:

• 1 coat of Hema - Black 
• 1 coat of Herome - St. Moritz
• Acrylic paints - Silver and white

*Seche Vite topcoat was used on all nails

One of the worst scenarios when working with glitters is of course when the container drops out of your hand and sadly I experienced this. I should be thankful though that in fell onto the plate I was working with, so I was at least able to scoop more than half of it back into the container. Because of this drama the black nails needed another coat as the orange glitter couldn't wait to stick to those nails. I felt like Sun Worshiper was way too bright for this look (duhh it's a neon), so that's basically why I used a more regular orange on top.

I really love this look as it’s quite simple to do. The orange glitter on top of a basic orange polish really makes it sparkle even more. I never knew I could paint a spider, but I think mine came out pretty good. I do have to practice with making my spider web way thinner to be more realistic, but I don’t have a  striping brush yet so my regular paint brush will do for now.

What do you guys think of this design? Have you celebrated Halloween?

Make Up For Ever (Black Tango) - Blue Black

Hello everyone I was a bit upset when my last nailart didn’t really worked out. I was already tired from my early shift that day and being sick, but I still wanted beautiful nails for my aunt’s party. Normally I try to swatch my regular nail polish colors back to back when the weather is nice and then just wear a nailart design for the rest of the week. Unfortunately that wasn’t an option this time.

Since I already have to take my polish off before Sunday, I decided to just do a regular mani for the rest of the week. I chose one of my loves from the brand Make Up For Ever (MUFE) from their Black Tango collection, named Blue Black. Right before our Sephora’s closed I found this gem on sale next to the Green Black which I’ll swatch another time.

MUFE’s Black Tango Blue Black is a beautiful black based nail polish that reflects dark blue shimmer. It truly appears black until you look closely in lighting, it’s basically a kinda off-black color. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I no longer like true black nails, I really prefer this look. See for yourself…

Isn't it gorgeous? I just love these intense nearly black colors. Just can't have enough of them really. I mean look how beautiful the blue shimmer is with the flash, but appears so neutral in the shade. 

Manicure details:

• 2 coats of Make Up For Ever - Black Tango collection - Blue Black
• Essence Better than Gel Nails Topcoat

Do you prefer darker nails for fall?

WHEN NAILART GOES WRONG #1

Hello everyone I almost didn´t post this as I hate how my nails look at this moment, but decided to upload it anyway. So I tried foiling for the first time yesterday and it turned out great (at first though). Had some tiny mistakes here and there (which I fixed btw) and went to my aunt's party even though I'm still sick. Didn't take pictures immediately when I was done, because it was quite late and I didn't have enough lighting. The party was fun and my nails were stunning with the foil effect. 

But when I woke up this morning.....Yuck and ....yuck again. I mean just look at the pictures and you'll know what I mean.

                                 

You see what I mean now, it"s so ugly. For some reason my black zebra stripes on my ring finger and thumb turned this dark olive army green (this was done with a true black acrylic paint O_o" ). Thought I'd used enough glue to adhere my foil on the other nails. The fixed mistakes on those nails also turned into the dark olive army green, so now you see those patches as well. 

Note to self for next time:

• Topcoat the foil before using acrylic paint
• Topcoat the finished design again
• Do not rush through nailart

FYI I've used this beautiful foil named Fuchsia Fantasy for this design. Look at how gorgeous it looks in the bottle.

Too bad though, because the effect was very pretty and I will definitely redo this design one day. Just wanted to show you guys that not everything I try turns out great.

Have you ever messed up your nailart?

China Glaze Wagon Trail

I totally forgot to upload this post as I didn't  didn't feel like blogging at all due to school, work and some personal matters. But I decided that this blog is my way of expressing my thoughts, feelings and most of all my love for nail polish. 

Therefore I present you one my new loves...

China Glaze's Wagon Trail from their fall 2008 Rodeo Diva collection. I saw this colour years ago, but always forgot to order it. So when I was browsing on eBay again a while ago I decided to finally also order it and I've been in love since. It's absolutely beautiful, a must have and worth searching for. See for yourself..

Wagon Trail has this black base, but on the nails you can clearly see the gold and dark olive through it. I've used two coats and a topcoat to bring out this beautiful colour. 

I just can't stop loving these blackened nail polishes...I absolutely adore them, want and need them all in my collection. They're just that gorgeous and so much better than just a basic black colour. These kind are special, they add this vampy look compared to plain black. Better yet I might just throw away my normal black polish haha.

Do you love these kind of black colours? Do you have some of them in your collection?

My Birthday Nails

So today is my birthday, couldn’t upload this post earlier as I besides the nail art also had to refill my acrylics. Anyway didn’t really do much today besides that as I got a bad flu and just don’t have the energy for other stuff. Don’t ask me how I will survive this week’s school lessons. Anyway let’s talk nail art.

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts I absolutely love Robin Moses’ nail art designs and I will try to recreate practically all of them. The following is another inspired remake of one of her beautiful designs. Sadly when I finally finished my nails I didn’t have any natural lighting anymore so these pics are not doing this design justice. I’ll try to photograph some new ones tomorrow.

Products used:

• Hema- Clear polish
• China Glaze- Sunset Sail
• Catrice- Miss Piggy Reloaded
• Inaz- Glam Rock
• Inaz- Rose Glam
• MAC- Reflects Gold pigment
• Essence- Better than Gel nails topcoat
• Rhinestones

And of course a picture of my Bday outfit. Wasn't in the mood for special wear, so just a LBD and of course hot heels. 

Do you like this design?

Pink, Black & Silver Color Block

Hello everyone,

How was your weekend? Mine was quite boring unfortunately, just had to work and had no further plans really.

Anyway… Last week I was in the mood for some nail art as I bought this new nail art striper from Kiss and couldn't wait to use it. So even though this design was from last week, I still decided to post it.

I really loved this design and it was very easy to create. The look is quite bright and really stands out due to the combination of colors.

What do you guys think of this look?
