Hey lovelies!

How are you all? ♥

Who else watched the Olympics this weekend? I was so excited about the ice hockey medal games - and for those who don't follow sports, team Finland won bronze against team USA which was quite an achievement for the team, even if we had Selänne, Timonen, Salo and other awesome players. I'm so proud of the team, it was great experience for the young players and a great way from some of the older ones to end their journey in the national team. So again, thank you team Finland, thank you Teemu Selänne, and Tuukka Rask, you rock! Awesome playing.

Also I'm so happy for team Canada for winning the gold, totally deserved win!

Luckily, after a week it's time for the Oscars, so I don't have the time to be upset about the Olympic hockey to be over. I need to make some great food and such for the event - hopefully I can make a themed post before Sunday about the snacks and stuff so maybe you can enjoy the same things I do. ;)

But anyways, now to the real topic today, nails:



First up is this pretty detailed burgundy-gold-navy mani I created last month. And it's appropriately shot with a golden jewelry, haha.



I'm not sure where I was going with this mani, but apparently I tried many things that happily go together well.





The polishes I used for this mani are Essie Thigh High, China Glaze Goldie But Goodie, Essie Liqorice and Ciaté Power Dressing. The giraffe print is from a Born Pretty Store plate QA25, and the gold studs as well as the hexagon glitters are also from Born Pretty Store. And I wanna remind you, if you go and buy from there, take advantage of the discount code JVNT10 to get 10 percent off your purchase. ;) (It's good everywhere on their site, not just for nail art or fashion items!)





Our next contestant is this very simple purple mani, where I used different glitter polishes and made them matte so that they wouldn't be so typical glitter manis.





I absolutely love the colors here, they work pretty nicely together. And this shows that sometimes simple works even more nicely than detailed. I think.



The polishes used here are China Glaze Lovely Lilac, China Glaze Your Present Required, China Glaze Charmed, I'm Sure, China Glaze Be Merry, Be Bright, Essie A Cut Above and L'Oreal Color Riche Confettis.



So that's all I have for you today, now the only question remains:

Which one you like better, the detailed, or the simple glitter sammich one? Let me know in the comments! ♥

Now I'm gonna go watch Lord of the Rings with my fiance, who has never seen it (can you believe??). I'll be back tomorrow with another post, so see you then!

Have a fabulous day! ♥

Hey babes!

How are you today? ♥

We've been busy arranging the move and all the little things that relate to it - but today we found some time for a little coffee & waffle date in the afternoon. It's only a week to go before the move, so there's so much to do every day!

Anyway, today I thought I'd share some more nail art with you - but I promise next one will be an outfit post, after a while :D So, here's two more nail art designs by me. :)



First one is a design many of you might have seen all over the internet, so more than purely my own design, this is a inspired design. Not an exact copy, but close enough to be called a copy. I used Roguish Red and I'm Not Lion by China Glaze, Blanc from Essie, and some random blue polish I had in my boxes.



I'm sorry for the failing cleanup, I've gotten better at since these photos, which you can see on my IG photos (the nick is @silvertigo, drop by and say hi anytime!). But these make me shake my head and laugh. I could make a post about cleaning up the manicure and other details, if you'd be interested to learn. Just let me know in the comments.



I think this mani would be awesome to  complete a navy-inspired look, but it could be also worn together with a LBD, which would make it a cute little accessory.



The other mani is a bit more me, like many would probably say. I'm sorry if some of you are getting sick of animal prints, because here's one more:



Pink manicure with free-hand gold glitter tips and leopard print accent nails.



I did these nails for my fiance's mom's graduation party - from which I have an outfit post (or two) coming up later this week. :)



The gold glitter here is once again I'm Not Lion from China Glaze, and the pink I can't quite remember, but I think it was some polish from Mavala.



How do you like these manicures? What are you wearing on your nails today? And, are there some nail care/nail art/etc. tips and/or tutorials you would like to see? Leave opinions and suggestions in comments ♥

Now I need to go and make some food for the love of my life - and then again I get to pack up some boxes and such... I'll try to be online, too, though, as I really have to catch up on blog reading.

Thank you so much for everyone who has been reading/following/commenting etc. lately. I'm way too busy ATM to respond everything immediately, but I'll be catching up after the move. ♥

Blog ya later,

xoxo
