Continuing the challenge I started here, in today's post I'll share another set of mythical nails. I must admit, I haven't used most techniques enough to really make things as pretty as I want to, but I take this challenge as a good excuse to practise more. Creating phoenix nails sounded like fun, because I could use colors of the fire and I also had some foils to add into them.

It's been a while since the last nail post, so I thought it was finally time for one. I'm trying out some things seen in my Born Pretty Store Haul, and I really liked playing with the bling although really could've done even better job with them. I hope they are inspiring nevertheless.

2018. New year, new goals, fresh start. Personally I'm so excited to start a fresh new year because 2017 was no doubt the hardest I've faced so far with difficult breakup and other life changes. But as I swore yesterday with my boyfriend, this year will be better. It'll be our year. And if you read the last post of 2017, I made a bucket list for this year (see it here) to puch myself to live more, do more and feel better. Hopefully along the bucket list also comes nice blog posts.

Today, I'm sharing with you something I bought last year, which also will be helping out to create content. Some nail art stuff from Born Pretty Store.

On Holiday time, I often get super inspired to do many themed nail art designs. This year doesn't seem any different as I already started my third mani of the month yesterday. Here on the blog, I will today share my second Christmas mani of the year, which is maybe more a winter design. But I wanted to play with techniques as well as new stuff I got from Born Pretty Store. I'll talk more about them below along with the pictures.

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ I had awesome weekend with boys, and we made quite a bit of good memories while playing games and watching hockey. I never get quite as relaxed anywhere as I do when I spend time with the guys. So, in case any of you are reading this, hello, I love you all so much. Thanks for the weekend, and I can't wait for the next adventure after few weeks!

Today, I really wanted to share these two nail designs with you, so that we could maybe one day catch up on the designs - at least a bit. These are both designs I was pretty proud of, so I'm really hoping you like them too!

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ Who else loves all the pink things everywhere now that Valentine's Day is approaching? I know do. That's why today, I'm partnering up with Born Pretty Store to bring you some nail art inspiration for the holiday around the corner.

Hello lovelies!

How are you all today? ♥

Hello my lovelies!

How was your weekend? ♥

I just finished a mountain of school work - or at least that's how it felt! And now, I feel I can actually get going with a new week, and probably a ton of new work as well. But the best part is, I have a bit shorter days and even if they aren't, I get to spend them with my darling girls. I have seriously missed them, no matter how nice the girls in my this week's group were.

But anyways, as I'm trying to backup my phone so that I can then start making it faster, I figured I should probably write up a little something for you guys. So, here you can see something inspired by our relatively new curtains:



A set of nails with candy print. If you don't recognize these, not to worry, as they are such a Finnish things. The interior decor print that inspired these, is Karkkipäivä (Candy Day) by Vallila Interior. Again, if you don't know, Vallila is a brand pretty well known here in Finland, and they make amazing prints for curtains and other textiles. If you are into interior stuff, you can check Vallila out here: http://www.vallilainterior.fi/en



I'm personally pretty crazy about the Karkkipäivä prints, as they remind me of my childhood. Why? Because the prints are clearly representing certain classic candies everyone in Finland has had as a child. For example, the fox print here is like the one in candies named Pihlaja (rowan), which is a candy that originally reminded the taste of the berries of that tree. Nowadays, it's much sweeter (to my taste, anyway) but still darn good.

...And my fox kinda looks like a badger but let's not bother too much about that, okay?



The colors used for this design were Essie Licorice, China Glaze White On White, China Glaze Seas The Day and a random yellow polish from H&M (that isn't sold there anymore). The rhinestones are again from Born Pretty Store, and the designs have been painted with thin nail art brushes and dotting tools. No stamping included.



These nails had so much to them that I really just wanted to show them on their own, without a comparison, but later on we will be back doing these in pairs so that I don't fill anyone's feed with just nail stuff. ;)

What do you think about these nails? Let me know in the comments below!

Now, I'm gonna try and get my phone backup done (it's taking ages), and in the meanwhile, I will do a new manicure. More on that hopefully tomorrow on Instagram and such, so stay tuned there. But as always, I will talk to you as soon as possible!

Have a great start for the new week ♥

Hello you guys!

How are you all today? ♥

I'm happy to tell that my project week is over, we didn't win anything except ourselves maybe, but it was pretty fun and all. Though I'm also relieved to get back to the normal school stuff and everything. Also, because it's snowy outside today, I'm hoping to get an outfit shoot done before we go grocery shopping today, because I think snow pictures tend to look so cute.

But today, I wanted to share this haul from few weeks back. I ordered these back in September, I think, but because of delivery time, Halloween madness and school, I only get to show these for you now. Hope it's any nice though - and I think at least most of these, if not all, are still available on Born Pretty Store.

Let's see what I got then, shall we?



So this is the whole pile of things. Not whole lot of stuff, and they are very affordable as well, so I didn't feel too bad buying them. As you can see, it's mostly nail art stuff, so if you don't care about that, you better wait for the next post. ;)



Firstly, I bought some rings and couple of cell phone accessories. With the cell phone stuff, my headphones will stay untangled and the bow is a dust plug. I think the bow is so cute with my penguin case, and I need to get a photo of that for you later on.



I've never been that much into wearing watches, until lately in life, so I got these ones to sort of practice with. Though, like any fashion forward girl in the world, I do kind of dream of those designer watches, and will get one at least when I get a proper job.



Some nail wraps for busy times (though when do I ever get so busy I can manage painting my nails? Never..



And stickers and decals for easy decorating. If you dream about making different nails, but painting ain't your thing, I strongly recommend trying out water decals. They are easy to use and they last a long time when you just add a top coat. I can try to make a tutorial for that when I manage to make a proper set up. I would love to film some nail tutorials for you, if you guys are up for that!



Hair chalk. As you may have seen on my Instagram, I have been loving these lately for more or less special occasions. I would kind of love to dye my hair, or at least the tips cotton candy pink, but so far I haven't dared to try that out. Should I go for it though?



Then to the nail stuff. These diamond shape sequins looked so fabulous I couldn't pass them up. And I have seen amazing placement manis with them, so maybe when I have time, I might try something like that myself.



"Animal print" studs, because you can't have too much animal print. Or studs, for that matter.



Brightly colored jelly studs, as I'm a sucker for the bright colors on nails. I have never tried out this kind of studs before so I'm curious to see how they work.



More studs, because I just need them so much. Or something.



Black rhinestones in different sizes.



Clear rhinestones, with normal finish and with a bit of a rainbow finish. Don't look too different to some, but I can personally see the difference clearly and that's enough for me. And you know, a girl needs diamonds. ;)



Black rhinestones with colorful glaze on top. I love these and can't wait to try them!



Huge wheel full of triangle studs ♥ You know why I love these, right?



And last but not least, gold and silver foils. I've been dying to try these out for a while, and finally decided to by them. As you may have seen on Instagram, I have tried the gold one already and I loved it. More on that once I get the photos up on the blog! ♥

What do you think about my haul, and what would you think about nail art videos? Let me know in the comments below!

Now, I need to get ready for the outfit pics and check out some F1 practice while I do so, but I'll talk to you as soon as possible. Love you all!

Have a fun weekend, dolls ♥

Hello everyone!

How are you all? ♥

Once again the week has gone by incredibly fast, and I can't believe I haven't blogged after Monday. Well, technically, after Thursday, as I wrote the posts for the weekend beforehand. Anyway, I'm back now, and today I really just wanted to share some goodies I got this week from Born Pretty Store. There's more than just nail things, so don't worry, you can keep reading, haha.



So this is the pile of stuff I got, I decided to try out the surprise bags once again so there's some items I couldn't predict at all. Also, I had some things for the giveaway I'll be hosting after we hit the 300 GFC readers - which I will only show once the giveaway is up. I've got many nice things for it, so definitely stay tuned for that. Hopefully we'll hit the number soon.

Okay, you probably want to see the items now, right? Let's do that.



So first up, we have these temporary tattoos with cute bird design. I'm so indecisive I really can't pick a real tattoo and be sure I'm happy with it forever, and therefore it's better for me to stick with these ones for now. But aren't they cute?



A hairband, the telephone wire type I've been dying to try out. I wish it was pink, though.



Random jewelry from a surprise bag, I love them!



Neon stickers for nails - perfection for summer manicures!



Fiercely long nail tips, which I might try out for a photo shoot or such, but don't know yet. Also from a surprise box as I don't buy these on my own.



Cute baby pink press-on nails. Another thing I didn't know I was getting, but I would definitely use these for a week when my nails need to be without nail polish.



Random nail charms, all of them are pretty adorable.



Black bows for nails - I have these on white as well, and I figured the black ones would be a great addition.



A striping tape. Because there's never too many. Except when there is.



And last, but definitely not least, pastel studs! You all know how much I love studs on anything, so these were the perfect thing to go with my new pastel nail polishes.

So, what do you think about my little haul? ♥

Remember, if you wanna go and get any of these items - or something else - from the Born Pretty store, grab the discount code JVNT10 and use it at the checkout to get 10% off of your purchase.

Now, I gotta get going with the evening snack, but I'll be back soon, hopefully with the Easter pictures!

Have a lovely day ♥
