Spikes vs. Stripes

Heya lovelies!

How are you all? ♥

It's getting super close to the weekend, which is very exciting, as we will be receiving guests from another town for a couple of days. We will be having nice adventures and I might just give myself a permission to leave my camera home and just take some random shots with my phone. I don't know.

But however, before weekend I still have this and one other post for you, so let's get that started, shall we?

Yet again, I have some nail art for you to see. (And if you rather see outfit post, just wait for tomorrow!)

First up, a mix and match mani with mint, gold and leopard print, which I loved so, so much.

I totally filled these nails with spikes, studs and such. I gotta admit, it was a lot of work but I think it was totally worth it.

The nail polishes used here were China Glaze For Audrey, China Glaze Kalahari Kiss, Essie Licorice and MUA Cosmetics Mud Pie. The studs, spikes, gold pearls and black rhinestones are from Born Pretty Store, and the gold striping tape is probably from some Finnish nail art site but it's been forever since I purchased it that I don't really remember. But you can get that from Born Pretty Store or any other nail art site.

Remember, if you go and order from Born Pretty Store, you can freely use the discount code JVNT10
to get a 10% off your purchase at the checkout. (And no, I'm not getting money for mentioning that, they were just nice to give this code while collaborating with me.)

The next one is not as colorful, but yet pretty. Lots of glitter and stripes, so this one is totally me (like the last one wasn't, haha).

I was figuring that pink roses look nice with grey/silver, so that's how these were created.

The polishes used were Ciaté Vintage, China Glaze Gossip Over Gimlets, Sally Hansen Sweetie Pie, pink and white nail art paints by Kiss, L'Oréal Color Riche Green Couture, and China Glaze Some Like It Haute. The matte top coat is Born Pretty Super Matte. The star studs and little rhinestones are from Born Pretty Store. I created the stripes with Nail Vinyls, which I will be talking about more when I've tried all the different ones I ordered. ;)

So that's all I have for you today, tomorrow, I'll be posting an outfit post (and hopefully will have more those now that the spring is starting to inspire me better). Hopefully you all liked this one!

Which of these you like better? Would you like a tutorial for any of the elements you see on these manicures? Let me know in the comments! ♥

Now, I gotta go get sleep, but I'll be back tomorrow, so see you then!

Have a lovely day ♥

Spring Nails

Hey lovelies!

Happy Tuesday ♥

How are you all doing this week?

I'm eagerly waiting for the weekend, since it's going to be a long one, and I can enjoy it fully - as long as I work hard on my school assignments these few days before that. I love how it's getting more sunny and warm every day, and that also makes me wanna dress and do my nails more Spring-likely. (I think that's not even a real word... Oh, well.)

So, as the title suggest, today I'll be showing you some nail art once again. These are something I created for the first really sunny days of this Spring.

Care to take a look? Here we go!

So first up are these fun polka dot nails inspired by Samantha from PackAPunchPolish, she is super talented and extremely nice, and those of you who love amazing nail art should totally check out her nail blog! ♥

So, I made mine with warm, bright colors, and I thought the outcome was really nice, although somehow the striping tape did create some nasty lines in between. Well, you can't create perfect without a lot of exercise, right?

The colors I used for this were a random bright orange by H&M, Sun-Kissed by China Glaze, Speed Dial by Ciaté, and Escaping Reality by China Glaze (which shows off weirdly purple... lol)

The other mani was inspired by a picture I saw while searching Google for inspiration, and here's what I created:

Butterfly wings with a very subtle ombre effect. I hadn't tried this before and was surprised how easy this was. I think this would make a fun tutorial post, what do you think? (of course, you can find video tutorials from YouTube right away if you wish :D)

 photo DSC09292.jpg

It was the first time in a long while that I used China Glaze Aquadelic (bottle in the pictures), and I have to say I had forgotten how nice it actually looks.

Also, sorry about the weird shape of the index finger, I didn't wanna cut it down just then so I tried to make it look humane despite the corner dropping off... Not a huge success.

So, here are the nails for this days post.

What do you guys think? And, what are you rocking on your nails today? ♥

Now, I need to get back with my studies, but later this week, I will have an outfit post, new home post, and another That's Who I am post for you, at least. If you missed the first That's Who I am, you can read it here to learn random facts about me.

Have a lovely week, sweeties! ♥

Blog ya later,

Girly Nail Art

Hey lovelies!

How are you today? ♥

I hope your week is starting off well - I know mine is. This week is still kinda light at school, and the work is that, too, so I will have loads of time to prepare the move. (Sorry for mentioning in every single post, but it takes quite a bit of my time at the moment.)

Today's post is a very quick one, I just wanted to drop by and show you some more nail art by me.

Ready?

Fantastic.

The first one is this vintage type of nail art with little studs, and this was something I had never tried before this manicure. I think I did quite well, considering that.

These photos make me miss my long nails, I had a little accident at work last week which forced me to file them all down quite radically. Not entirely to nubs, but close. But I guess that I should've done that anyway because of the move, so no harm done.

The other one is bit more simple, and I was trying to get better at my striping tape using.

Photobucket

So... pink and bling all the way. Not my most amazing work, but this was super fun to do - and it look quite fun as well, so I thought I should share it anyways.

Glitter was once again impossible to capture on film. If someone knows a trick and has the time to explain to me, please do so. I'm terrible at adjusting my camera... :D (And yes, once I don't have to think about the school stuff, I will learn everything the user manual has to offer. I promise.)

Photobucket

So, what do you think about the manicures? What are you wearing on your nails today? Share your thoughts! ♥ 

Now I must dash, I have so many, many things to do today!

I hope you'll all have an amazing week! ♥

Blog ya later,

xoxo
