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?

NAIL ART | GREEN SCALES

Hello everyone, I hope you’re doing fine. I’ve finally received my email regarding my exchange to Mexico, but am so stressed about finding a residence. Wouldn’t be so stressful if only I didn’t have to arrange this before the end of November (I know this seems far away but it really isn’t if you’re also busy with school).

Anyway for this look I was once more inspired by one of Robin Moses’ designs, one of her collabs with anaarthur81 (I hope I got the number right, if not my apologies). Anywho they came up with this design for the TV-show “V” and I really liked the green scales that Robin did. The plan was to also try to do the face she made on the ring finger, but I didn’t have time or energy to try it so green scales it was.

Products used:

• Black acrylic paint
• Scraperfect - best glue ever
• Mufe - black tango green black
• Essence - crystalliced glitter froster (LE)
• Seche vite topcoat
• Inaz - clover glam
• Green nail art foil

Overall I really like this look on my nails, something black with lots of shimmer and glitter. For next time I’ll try to topcoat the foil before I start using the acrylic paint. I should also try to remember to topcoat every other day to try to keep this looking neat for a few days. I also didn’t think I’ve used enough glitter for the design. Ah well better luck next time right.

What do you think of this look? Have you ever used nail art foil?

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?

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?

Nailart: Blue Shatter Nails

Hello everyone sorry for not posting this past week. Had a lot on my mind; friends from abroad visiting, work, school starting next week and bunch of other stuff. I kinda got bored with my last design and needed something else even though I can only wear it for five days or so. I'm just not able to wear a design for more than a week…I need something else (and I'm also not allowed to wear nail polish at work *insert sad face*).

So while I was browsing online I remembered these gorgeous nail designs from Robin Moses (if you don't know her by now, you need to watch her ASAP). I basically love every design that she does especially the hand painted faces, because it starts out like basically this weird oval shape and then magically turns into this realistic face. They call her the nail art wizard for a reason. 

So this design was inspired by Robin Moses' blue shatter nails, but trust me when I say that I have to try to recreate practically all of them.

Products used:

• HEMA - black nail polish
• Catrice - 060 Mona Lisa is Staring Back
• Black acrylic paint
• Scraperfect - the best glue ever
• Inaz - Perseus glam
• Inaz - Parella glam
• Inaz - Madri glam
• MAC - reflects teal pigment
• Essence - studio nails, better than gel nails topsealer

I absolutely love this design and can’t wait to try it with other colors. The glitter effect is gorgeous and these photos don’t even do it justice, because it’s just mesmerizing to see in person.

PS: please excuse the nasty cuticles as these pictures were taken after wearing this manicure for almost three days.

What do guys think of this design? Have you ever used eyeshadow in your nail designs?

Nailart: Hot pink zebra love

So as mentioned in my previous post today I had some issues with blogger on my computer and couldn’t post anything last the week the way I wanted too. I think I’ve found the solution though….Start using Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer haha LOL.

Products used:

• 1 coat of Essence studio nails step 1
• 1 coat of Essence studio nails xxl nail thickener
• 2 coats China Glaze Snow (too thin polish that isn't easy to apply, streaky)
• 1 coat of China Glaze Pink Voltage
• 1 coat of Essence studio nails better than gel nails topcoat

I really liked this design as it‘s truly bold and there. Can’t wait to try variations of it.

What do you guys think of this design?

Note: some of you have already seen this design on my instagram or on facebook due to the issues with blogger and my determination to still upload the picture somewhere.

Nailart: OPI Lites to Darks

A friend of mine requested me do a certain design for her for a few years now, but for some reason didn't find the time to do it. So when I visited her new house last week I knew I had to bring these polishes with me. After eating some of her delicious  home-made pancakes we started with polishing the nails. And here's the result:

The colors that I'd used were from a mini set from the brand OPI named Lites to Darks and it contained four mini bottles. 

Colors used per nail:

• Thumb: 3 coats of Sweet Heart topped with 1 coat of Princesses Rule!
• Index: 2 coats of Sweet Heart topped with 1 coat of Princesses Rule! sponged with Meet me on the Star Ferry
• Middle: 2 coats of Meet me on the Star Ferry
• Ring: 2 coats of Meet me on the Star Ferry sponged with Lincoln Park After Dark
• Pink: 2 coats of Lincoln Park After Dark

Base and topcoat were used but I can't remember their names though. Will write that down next time.

It's a really simple design as you only need a sponge to create this, but the effect is quite nice. We absolutely loved the effect on the ring finger and I think I might try to wear a full mani with that combo.

What do guys think about this design? Would you try it?

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?
