Hey lovelies!

How are you all? ♥

Technically speaking I should be already sleeping, but I couldn't resist sharing this post with you before. I wouldn't have time for this for tomorrow as I'll be pulling over 8 hours of work and I need to do some household things before that, so... You get the thrill, right?

Anyways, here are two manicures I did a while ago, the common thing with these two is that they both are kind of white/blue color. And they have glitter. Like most of my nail art.



So first up, my dripping galaxy nail art. My first time ever trying out the dripping kind of design, so I'm pretty happy how it turned out.



Couple of shots taken in my DIY light box (sorry if the light looks super weird!). I kinda captured the rainbow effect of the glitter, which is pretty cool. I never get the glitter properly on film, but this time I nearly did!





For this mani, I used bunch of different purples, couple of blue ones and a white polish, most of which were China Glaze but honestly I don't remember. (Note to self: I need to start writing down which ones I use for the designs.)





The other mani today is more wintery. I used whites and some blue and totally tried to make a snow-themed mani.



This is actually probably my favorite winter mani so far (and I've done already few holiday themed ones this year), I simply cannot get over how cute this was.



The polishes I used here were China Glaze White On White, China Glaze There's Snow One Like You, China Glaze Snow Globe, and Konad stamping polish in blue. So yes, the snow flakes are stamped on the nails.



I absolutely love the textured snow-like polish. I understand how that might be a very controversial polish, as it totally looks like fake snow, and that's way too much for some. I personally love it a lot, and I promise you I'll be doing more manicures with this during the winter time.



So that's all I have for you today, I hope you liked this post as much I liked creating these designs!

I would also like to know what do you think about these designs, please tell me your thoughts on the comments below! ♥

Now, once again it's time for me to get some much needed beauty sleep as tomorrow, I need all my energy to get through the super long day. I try to be back at blogging as soon as I can, and it'll probably be on Friday but we'll see about that.

Have a lovely day, everyone! ♥

Blog ya later,

First up, a very colorful leopard mani. I started by creating a gradient rainbow base, and then painted the leopard print over it. Looks kinda cool, huh?





I used China Glaze's polishes for this one, they have amazing neons in what seems to be in every summer collection, so it's easy to find the shades you love!





And the other mani is much more neutral, based with China Glaze Kalahari Kiss, and topped off with rhinestones, star stamping and glitter accent nail.





The picture doesn't do justice to the mani, this was actually more lovely in real life, but this will have to do for now.



So, rainbow vs. neutral. Which one is your favorite? ♥

This girl is off now, to clean my closet and do my ab workout (more of which I will tell you about later). Talk to you guys later!

Have a great day!

Blog ya later,

Hey babes!

I hope you're all doing well today. :)

I'm personally fighting a cold with a teacup and lots of food, and also writing some of my school assignments. I guess these next 8 weeks or so are gonna be pretty hectic, so if I'm sometimes gone longer than usual, it's just school. Don't worry. :)

(Though, I try to get some writing done beforehand as I still have so many posts in store for you - and I get more and more photographed every week. How will I ever catch up? :D)

So today, I'm sharing a couple more manicures here with you. Both of these are quite simple and girly, and I think they both were super fun to do.



First one is three coats of Essie Muchi Muchi, topped with China Glaze Fairy Dust and stamped with Konad plate, using Essie Licorice as the stamping color.



I love the Muchi Muchi so much, it's a fantastic girly shade, and it is also very neutral, so it's perfect for any girl out there. It's such a sheer polish that you really need three coats for it to show properly, but for a French mani, one slightly thicker coat will surely do.



I didn't have the proper chance to take a daylight picture of this mani, so the CG Fairy Dust doesn't really show here. It's more gorgeous polish than the photos tell you.



Notice how I used PS3 controller for pose rather than nail polish bottle? I'm still in love with my pink one. Did I mention I kicked boys' ass in Tekken the other day? Well, I did. :D



The second mani is a bit more colorful, with my ultimate favorite print leopard in it. Though, am I the only one who gets more of a cow print vibe from that? Anyway...



I used Essie Mint Candy Apple, Essie Licorice, Essie Blanc, and Sally Hansen Sweetie Pie. The Mint Candy Apple is one of my favorite mint-shade polishes ever, and I could literally put it anywhere!



So here you have it, two very simple little manicures. I'm just starting to work on a new manicure/nail tutorial,  which is one of those you guys have requested. Can you guess what it will be?

And as always, I'm curious: How do you like these nails? ♥

Have a fabulous week, lovelies!

Blog ya later,

Heya lovelies!

How are you today? ♥

I'm having an extremely busy day once again, which is why I had written this one beforehand for you to read. I can't believe that in couple of days we will be already living in our new apartment! To make everything easier, I'm cutting classes this week so I can use the time for packing. And no, I don't recommend cutting classes for you, my younger readers, and I assure you, I'll be keeping up with the study material after the move when I will have the time for that. ;)

This week is also different because I will be having nude/bare nails for the whole week (from Monday to Sunday) to let my nails breathe - but that is why I have these nail posts in store for you. Even if I don't have the time to create anything for posts for one week, that still doesn't stop me from blogging. And that's a security I love.

Now, today's post, as the title suggest, is about nail art I've done with Ciaté products. Some of you might remember the calendar I had for this Christmas (if you want, you can see it here!), and might remember it was full of nail art stuff. I was very, very curious to try Ciaté, as I had only heard about the polishes. They are so pricey to get in Finland that I haven't been able to get them. Until I got the calendar.

 (And speaking about nail polishes and prices, I might just have the perfect thing for you all later on. I'll be testing an online store that sells one of my favorite brands on great prices - and I'll be sharing the whole experience with you next month or so. Stay tuned!)



First up is this girly little mani I did with baby pink Ciaté polish, topping it with some Konad stamping, and creating a nice sparkly accent nail with two silver polishes.



I've somehow taken my nail art down a little bit - not as many colors and details in one mani, and more classic elements. I don't know if it's affected by the simple and classic Spring fashion, but does that really matter? :D



I wish the stamp would've been more visible - later I discovered it's more efficient to use other than Konad polishes.



The other mani today was even more simple than the first one. I used this gorgeous black polish with gold glitter in it, and topped off the accent nail with a golden crackling polish from MUA.





This was one of those rare occasions I tried to take a daylight shot for a comparison to the ones taken with flash. I don't know if this really gives anything more to you, but I decided to add it in anyways.



So, two simple manicures, both based on amazing Ciaté polishes.

But, what do you think about these two manicures? ♥

I try to write another post or two this week, but no promises as I'm extremely busy - like you already know. If nothing else, I'll be back on Monday.

I hope everyone is having a fun week! 

Blog ya later,

xoxo
