Heya babes!

What have you all been up to this weekend? ♥

I have been hanging out with boys, not using the laptop or cell phone nearly at all, and just chilling out having fun with sports and video games. And okay, yes, we did go to a bar too - which was quite fun as well.

Anyway, today I was supposed to post more about our trip to north, but as I'm literally too tired to go through hundreds of pics again, I decided to publish these nail photos instead. (I'll get back to the travel posts tomorrow, when I have the whole morning to edit to pics.)



So, today, nail art stuff. This first manicure is something simple I did a while back when I had this nail art/tea and sympathy evening with two of my friends from school. I wasn't really sure what to do, and didn't really plan these out, but they came out pretty nice after all.



I wanted to do a Autumn themed manicure colorwise, and I decided I should this time try out some other pattern than leopard print - as I can only imagine how bored you all must be with my endless leopard print manis, hehe!



I only used two polishes here, Essie Thigh High and China Glaze I Herd That. I painted the tiger stripes with free hand (and clearly I need more practice) and painted the tips of pinkies with the help of tape. The crosses on thumbs are just two pieces of striping tape, and the studs on index fingers are from a Kiss package of nail art studs.



I personally liked this mani kinda lot after all - even if I was pretty skeptic about it at first. Also, it kinda set off my love for burgundy even though I haven't been too comfy with it ever before.



After this mani, I wanted to do something quite different and more simple.



So I went for holographic silver manicure with very little detail.



With using striping tape as my only tool besides, of course, the nail polishes, I created this very, very simple manicure. I painted the nails with the desired colors, added black to the tips of the silver nails, created cross on one nail with two pieces of black striping tape and added two silver stripes to each black nail. It's pretty much as easy as nail art gets, really.



Polishes I used here were Essie Licorice and Make Up Store Greta. Both of them are trusted favorites of mine, and I feel they're perfect for Autumn nails.



As much as I love holographic polishes, they're almost as painful to photograph as glitter polishes and neons, but I hope these sunlight shots give you some idea how lovely polish Greta really is. It shines in the colors of the rainbow, like you're having a gazillion little diamonds on your nails. But really, these photos don't really do justice to it. (also, sorry for the messy cleanup, I don't know why I've been so sloppy with it)



So, here are the manis this time - metallic being the theme, I guess... :D

What do you guys think about these? What kind of colors are you wearing on your nails on Autumn?

Now, I'm going to help myself to a cup of decaf tea and a good book so that I'll get myself up early in the morning for a morning jog ♥

Have a lovely day!

Blog ya later,

xoxo
