Caviar & Feathers

Hey lovelies!

How are you? ♥

Another little road trip is behind me, and we had a lot of fun again. I don't have many photos to share from the weekend, but we'll see if some of them will see the light of day here.

Today, I just wanted to share few nail art pics with you before doing my nails and going to bed. ;)

First up is kinda colorful mani with caviar beads, glitter, rhinestones and fun shades. I don't really know where I was going with it but it looks kinda fun. To me, at least.

I'm so, so sorry for the awful cleanup, as well as poor quality. I should save and invest on a macro lens so that I'd get better close-up shots.

And then the other one, which is my favorite of the two. My first ever try on feather nails, and I think I did okay. Of course, practice makes perfect with this form of art, so I guarantee I'll get better at it later. ;)

I used Essie Blanc as a base, and then drew the feathers with nail art pens. I added pink and blue so that it would give some dimension to the print.

Heavily edited photo to kinda show off the print more.

What do you guys think about these manicures? Yay or nay? And what are you wearing on your nails today? ♥

This girl is off now, but back soon with a new outfit post ;)

Have a fabulous day! ♥

Blog ya later,

Girly Nail Art

Hey lovelies!

How are you all? ♥

Today, I'm having this verbal test in business English, and I just hope everything will go well. Not that it's hard, but I fear that I'll have some blackout and forget the words. But, I shall not worry about it. I hardly think one could actually fail it. :D

Another thing I've been concentrating lately, is getting rid of clutter. Both real life as well as on my laptop. I recently realized my hard drive was only having 18% space left, so now I'm going through some serious clean up there as well. I kinda hoped I could just leave the cleaning to closet and the little everyday cleaning, but no. I feel like I have to organize and re-organize every single thing. But that might be a good thing, right?

So, today's post is about (besides my blabbering) nails. I have two pretty nice manicures to share with you, both probably in top 10 of my manicures ever! :) If you want to learn something about my nail art, see here and here for tutorials. And remember, you can always wish for another one, I'm happy to make them for you. ;)

The first manicure is done with this gorgeous hologram polish from Make Up Store. It looks very neutral and sandy in the bottle, but once on your nails, it has the most fabulous holo effect in every color. I thought a caviar ring finger in metallic pastel shades would compliment it well, and because I always have to add everything possible to every manicure, I put a piece of striping tape across every nail. It's still pretty simple, and looking at this now, I think I need to do and interpretation of this soon. ;)

And one picture in daylight. I was seriously taking too many photos of this because I liked it so much!

The other mani is more colorful and maybe less elegant, but it was so much fun to create. ;)

Cupcake nails! For some idiotic reason this blogger was dumb enough to not take many different pictures of these nails... Oh well. Luckily this picture shows everything about the mani, so you're not missing out. I've been asked to do a tutorial of these babies, so that's something I need to work on this weekend. And sorry about the misshaped thumb nail, it had a little accident but I didn't want to cut it down.

So, here are the manicures this time. I hope you liked them!

Are these manicures something you might try out? And is there a manicure you would like to see from me? Let me know in the comments! ♥ 

That's all for now, but I'll try to write something new pretty soon. I have a feeling I might even get to write a makeup review post this week, if everything goes as planned. ;)

Have a lovely week!
