Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ I'm happy that the April is starting and that the work week is over for now. My plans for the weekend are simply to relax and get some workout done, as well as watching Formula One and so on. In today's post, I wanted to share you a bit more of my nail polish collection. The mints, to be more exact.

And yes, I own enough more or less mint polishes to make own post about them. Don't judge me.

We're headed to a trip today again, which is kinda exciting - although a quiet weekend home would be soon very much needed. But in the summer, it's nice to travel around and see places and people. At least most of the time, anyway. After a week, it's time for my bachelorette party which I'm both excited and terrified about, because I'm absolutely clueless about things. Luckily girls promised to tell me what kind of clothes to bring along - at least. I promise to get some pics here and there for you to see from that night. 

Also, if you'd like to see a sneak peek of my wedding dress, please let me know in the comments. If you follow me on social media, you might have seen something already. ;)

Today, however, I'd like to talk to you about nails. I have two designs that I actually really liked, even though the techniques might need some perfecting. But you can be the judge of that.

The first designs has stripes and roses in it, and I tried to use colors I normally wouldn't use or pair together. I think the combo of peach and navy is actually pretty nice, and I guess I could definitely do another one with them later this year.

I really like painting rose prints, and pairing them the classic way with stripes and polka dots felt right. I tried to do sneak peek stripes with my natural nails showing through, but I feel the result was a bit messy. I liked the idea though - and maybe could create a lovely one with more practice.

 The polishes I used were  China Glaze White On White, One Track Mind and Be More Pacific, and Rimmel London Peachella. With the stripes I used striping tape as a guide, dots are made with dotting tool and for the details of the roses I used a thin nail art brush. All my tools are from Born Pretty Store.

Next is a teal/light blue design I happened to make just before attending to a fair to represent the company I have my internship in. I used kind of perfect colours for the fair stand, which was cool because I didn't consiously plan that at all.

I liked this skittle design kinda lot, and I really think I shoud do these more often. And I definitely should use chevron more (mental note: order more chevron nail vinyls), because it looks so cute on accent nails.

The polishes I used were China Glaze Capacity To See Beyond and Mosaic Madness. The blue shimmer on the chevron is from Gina Tricot. The black rhinestones are from Born Pretty Store and for the chevron print I used Nail Vinyls.

I think both of these manis were pretty nice, but once again I'd like to hear from you:

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

That's all I have for you today, but we will see again tomorrow in another post. Also, you can follow me on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat) where I share stuff that doesn't show on the blog. And also, you will be updated every time there's a new blog post out. So see you there as well! You can leave likes and comments everywhere so I can check out your accounts as well, I always look for more inspiring accounts to follow.

Have a fabulous weekend you guys ♥ 

I'm very excited today as this week, we've finally decided our wedding rings. I get to pick up mine this week and then all that remains is pretty much my dress for the day. Of course I also have a discussion to have with the catering to make sure they will consider the different diets some of the guests - including myself - have. But so far, I think it seems pretty good. I must say I start to feel quite excited for the wedding, and the thought of a bachelorette party with my girls sounds pretty darn amazing. I will try to do some kind of a post about wedding planning soon, where I can tell about my experience so far. I'm really hoping to make ones about the bachelorette party and wedding itself as well, but we'll see how well I will handle the camera then.

Today, I really wanted to talk to you about girly stuff, so I decided it was time for a new nail art post. Hope you like it!

First up is this set of baby pink feather nails, which were so fun to paint - and were actually a result of an uninspired moment when I thought I wouldn't get decent nail art done. And I ended up loving them a lot. So that was nice. 

I really enjoyed having these nails, I think the feather print, baby pink and gold all compliment each other nicely. This felt super girly to me, and I must say I love that light pink color a lot. 

The colors I used were China Glaze Spring In My Step, Goldie But Goodie, De-Light, Essie Licorice, and couple of Kiss nail art pens. Studs are from Born Pretty Store. 

Next is this Ikat pattern I created with two of the Rimmel nail polishes I got earlier this Spring. I have been dying to try this, but I always thought it's difficult. Few weeks ago I saw another Finnish nail blogger (I'm guessing it was Nena Sofia's Nails, but not sure) do these, so I had to finally google it out. 

It turned out that the technique is actually not that hard, and I'm thinking I could try out making a tutorial. Would you guys prefer pictorial or a video? Let me know. 

Again, I loved these quite a bit. The Ikat pattern isn't exactly how I wanted, but for a first try, this wasn't entirely bad. Luckily the technique is very forgiving and looks best as bit messy. 

The colors I used were China Glaze White On White and Crimson, and Rimmel Peachella and Glaston-Berry. The only tool needed is a thin nail art brush. 

I hope you darlings enjoyed this post at least as much as I enjoyed painting my nails for the pics. I think these both were very wearable but fun, and I'm sure I will be making similar ones with different colors this year. I know I will paint Ikat pattern this week, because I can't wait to see how it looks with neon colors. 

That's all I have for you today, make sure to check my social media accounts for more (links in the sidebar except for Snapchat - where you can find me as silvertigo). I will be back tomorrow with another post, so stay tuned. 

Have a fabulous day ♥

I had a great day at work, perfected with a nice salmon salad dinner when I got home. My man has business elsewhere for a couple of days, so I'm enjoying the time alone binge-watching Once Upon A Time and eating lightly (no red meat for a couple of days, so my body will be thankful). Just now, I'm baking some gluten free bread so I can have warm treat as an evening snack.

Today, I wanted to talk a little bit about cosmetics. I got to test out some Rimmel products, and I really want to share some opinions about them.

As you all probably know, I'm obsessed (read: addicted) to nail polishes. Even though I usually go for China Glaze ones, I like to try others every once in a while too. When these three beauties were sent to me, I naturally had to test them out right away. First thing I can say that I absolutely love the names - especially Peachella - because they remind me of summer so much.

And here are the swatches. Peachella is a beautiful peach color, very bright and vibrant. I think this is my favorite out of the three. It's a nice alternative for nude polish for summer time. Glaston-Berry is a bright red that actually reminds me of strawberries, so I feel the name is on point. It's very pigmented and I loved using it for nail art. Roll In The Grass is a quite typical minty green, though a little darker than many mints. I have many blueish greens in my collection, so this isn't a very new shade, but it is pretty and I'm sure I will have use for it. 

So far, I think these are worth buying. They have good pigment, they are pleasant to apply and they cover well with two coats - even one if you don't mind slight streaks. Especially Peachella is absolutely gorgeous and I think it will look nice with the new neons I ordered on Friday.

Okay, so, I'm not too much of a lip gloss user due to the fact I always manage to get my hair in it. But. I think it can look nice, and it can be more moisturizing that lipsticks (especially the matte ones, which I prefer). So I'm all about trying new ones, who knows if I will find one that is a match made in heaven for me. 

The shades I tried out are called Go Gloss Or Go Home (the more orange, glittery one) and Glossaholic (cute baby pink). Both are mildly scented, subtle glosses that are easy to wear. They stay on quite well even on a person that is a walking mess like myself.  These babies promise to hold up to 6 hours, but that doesn't happen on my face (it's called user error, I'm always eating or at least drinking water so nothing stays on my lips without correcting throughout the day). If you're a glossaholic, or even a gloss lover, I think you should try these out.

Last, but definitely not least is this fancy green package, mascara. This mascara has vitamins and cucumber in it, so it's supposed to treat your lashes while wearing it. I've been using this daily for a while now, and while I can't say I would've gotten mega lashes out of this, I think my lashes feel a bit stronger and they don't fall off as easily. So, I think it might really moisturize/treat the lashes somehow. 

The mascara is easy to apply, it doesn't get too clumpy or anything, and it makes my lashes look quite long and nice. It doesn't fall off throughout the day, but it's easy to take off in the evening. Also, I really just want to give five extra points for the fun packaging. The metallic green and edgy design caught my eye totally.

The products seen in this post have been sent for me to try. However, I didn't have to write a single thing about them, so all the opinions voiced here are completely my own. I hope this review is any helpful for you guys.

Have you tried any of these products? And, what are your current makeup favorites? Let me know in the comments!

Now, this girl needs t hit the bed, so I can be up and awake nice an early for my work shift. I will be back very soon with a new post, so stay tuned my loves!

Have a fabulous day ♥
