Hey lovelies! How are you today? ♥ I can't believe there's only week and a half left of October. Time is flying by so fast! This morning, I got some blood test done for my thyroid check, and I'm hoping to get good news back from there. I've been feeling great, but I'm always nervous something will come up when getting any checkup done. I'll let you know later on how that went though.

Today, I'm sharing another Halloween inspiration post:

Hello my darlings!

How are you today? ♥

Heya lovelies!

How are you all? ♥

We had a hilarious weekend with my boys, and I had so much fun I yet again left my laptop alone and lived my life instead. Though, I have quite a lot of things I want to post to you. Like today's nails.

Anyway, I'm going back to school tomorrow, so, a fair warning, I might not be able to post too, too often, because of the school work. But I do my best to keep the blog running. And also, if you have contacted me lately via the blog's email, I'll get back to you by Thursday.

Today, however, it's time to see some more nail art:



The first one is a simple skittle mani with China Glaze pastels. I wanted to do something fun but easy, so I added some studs to make the mani more me.



The colors used here are called Sweet Hook, Feel The Breeze, If In Doubt, Surf It Out, Sun Upon My Skin and Highlight Of My Summer. The studs are from Born Pretty Store.



The other one is another galaxy mani, this time using several colors instead ones from the same "family". I really liked this one, and think I will do a new galaxy one as soon as I figure out a nice color scheme for it.



Unfortunately I can't figure out which colors I used for this (I promise, next time I do anything like this, I will write down what I use), but I can tell you they're all by China Glaze, and the glitter polish on top is called Fairy Dust.



That's all I have for you today, now I will go knit for a while, and then early to bed so that I will be ready for school in the morning.

Let me know what you think about these nail arts in the comments below!

Have a fabulous day ♥

Hello everybody!

How has your week started? ♥

Mine took off with getting a shot for our trip abroad, not that we're going anywhere exotic, but still. Also, the weekend was amazing because we got to see our friends and did fun stuff and all that. Thank you K & A, we had a lot of fun! Last night, I was supposed to write this blog post, but instead was trying to cheer the Finns to win the ice hockey championship. That didn't happen, but when I was done watching the game, it was so late I couldn't think about blogging o using the laptop at all.

But now I'm here, and I really wanna share this outfit with you.



This is from tiny bit colder days, but this week it's going to be rainy so this is sort of appropriate anyway. Very basic look, just spiced up with the colorful details like the name of the post tells you.



Jeans: Cubus Top: secondhand Jacket: H&M Sneakers: Boohoo Bag: Boohoo Necklaces: Gina Tricot Bracelets: Gina Tricot, DIY, gift

So that kind of a look this time. I'm happy to tell you that this weather totally makes me wear so many different kinds of outfits, which naturally means many, many more posts to see here. Tomorrow, I will post another nail art post and later this week you will see things like thrift haul and another outfit post (maybe even more things if I just have the time).

Let me know what you guys think about this look, and tell me what colors you have been wearing lately, in the comments below!

Now, I need to head out to get some food for us, but I'll be back soon!

Have a fabulous day ♥

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday ♥ (or whatever day you're living while reading this)

I hope you're all doing fine today - I know I am, since things have been going so well lately. I've been learning how much people in my life really care about me, and that really has been pretty overwhelming. Also, I'm pretty hyped about spring even though this week we've been having a bit more chilly weather here. I would be so ready for skirts and shorts but I guess the transition outfits will have to do for now.

Anyway, because of the sunny days, I've been having so much fun with colorful nail polish, and today, I would like to show you couple of designs I've done this spring:



First, these super cute neon rainbow nails with some gradient effect and matching little round studs. I don't know where I got the idea from, I guess I have seen the color scheme around the web somewhere, and just wanted go have my own twist by adding the studs.





The polishes I used were all by China Glaze, except for the orange one that is actually just from H&M. But the China Glaze shades I used were: Sun-Kissed, In The Limelight, Splish Splash, Escaping Reality and Surfin' For Boys. Studs are from Born Pretty Store.



I had so much fun making these that I don't even mind that they didn't come out perfect. They were close enough for me. Making gradients is actually one of my favorite nail art techniques, and I could do my nails always with it. But for the sake of getting better at things, I do other stuff too.



So that was the first look. But if you prefer more toned down, the next design might be the thing for you:



Beige nails with neon tips. Also pretty fun thing to create, and easy, too. (For a French tip tutorial, check out this post!) This is appropriate for most of the places you might end up to, as it is showy, but still very subtle.





Oh, and don't mind about the weird middle finger there, the nail had a little accident and I tried to secure it a bit but the end result was a mess even a full manicure couldn't cover it.



The polishes I used for this were all by China Glaze: Kalahari Kiss, Sun-Kissed, Sun Of A Peach, Flip Flop Fantasy, Escaping Reality and Surfin' For Boys. Can you see me having an addiction here? Me too.



Also, yet again I wanted to remind you, that if you happen to place an order to the Born Pretty Store, do take advantage of the discount code JVNT10 to get 10% off your purchase! It's made especially for my readers and you can use it as often as you like. I don't get paid even if you order with it, it's just something I got for you while working with them. ;)

But, what do you guys think about these manicures? And, will you try out neons for your nails this spring/summer? Let me know in the comments! ♥

Now, as usual, it's time for this girl to head to bed and catch some sleep as it's a training day tomorrow and I really need my sleep!

Have a fantastic day ♥

Hi sweeties!

How are you all? ♥

I just finished my second to last week of work before my summer vacation, and I'm so, so excited about the plans we have already for the time. But more on that later. (I'm already planning the posts for the time I can't access my laptop much, so even with me busy with life, the blog will roll. And I have my phone to check the comments every once in a while!)

Anyway, tomorrow is once again time for some nail art. Both of these designs are somewhat colorful (I love to use the neons in summer!) but they are still quite different.



First up, neon green goodness with some silver sparkles. Simple to the point, but having this little twist with the all silver accent nail.



The colors I used were China Glaze In The Lime Light, Essie Set In Stones and IsaDora Silver Sparkles. There's also a thick coat of white polish under the green to make it more vibrant.



I'm usually a stranger when it comes to wearing green polish, but somehow every color looks lovelier in neon... So I ended up wearing green polish. And I liked it. A lot.



And after filing my nails down a bit, I changed the look of them completely - while keeping some elements similar:



Neon, feathers, silver sparkles.... Love them! This is a design I have never ever tried before, but I think I should absolutely do something like this again soon.



The colors I used were China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, Essie Muchi Muchi, IsaDora Silver Sparkles, Essie  Set In Stones, and a bunch of nail art paints by Kiss.



This is one is one of my personal favorites so far, I really loved every bit of this mani.



Now, your turn: What do you think about these manis? And, which is your favorite?

Also, remember to go and submit some more questions to this post (click the link) so I can make you a fun answer post later on! Thank you so much!

Now this girl needs to go get a bit more social with the boys, who are playing NHL with such a big enthusiasm. ;) Tomorrow, we are going to the beach to get some tan and have a great time - and I can't wait for that! So, I better shut down the laptop soon, and get some sleep so I won't be a complete zombie in the morning. ;D

Have a lovely day! ♥

Blog ya later,

xoxo

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,

xoxo
