Challenge 15: Fashion Nails

Hi Girls!

This Saturday's Challenge was: Fashion Nails. I had no idea how a fashion nail should look like, but then I saw this manicure at Beauty Nails Fun and it suddenly became clear what I wanted to do.

I was "working" without the actual picture in front of me, so it came out a little ... different :-)

Products I have used:

• Golden Rose - Nr. 182 (base color)
• Coral Art - Nr. 31 (pink lines)
• White and blue acrylic paints
• Dotting tool

Cloud manicure - Guest post at Konad Addict

Hi there!

I am in such a good mood today! Maybe it's the great spring weather we are having, or...maybe because today Maryya from Konad Addict will post my first ever guest post :-D

If you are looking for great manicures, be sure you visit Konad Addict!

Products I have used for this manicure:

• OPI - I saw... U saw... We Saw... Warsaw (from the Euro Centrale Spring 2013 Collection; dark blue base color)
• China Glaze - Icicle (first cloud -> silver)
• Bourjois - Rouge in Style (second cloud -> red)

Flower Wednesday - Week 4

Hi Girls!

I'm sorry for being late with the last Flower Wednesday manicure!

The first three manicures from the series are available here (1), here (2) and here (3).

For this manicure I have used a really old polish I brought for at least 2 years :-) .

Products I have used:

• Classics Nr. 323 (in only one coat!)
• Gemstones

OPI Euro Centrale (The Polka Buff)

Hi Girls!

For today's manicure I have used the new OPI polishes, from the Euro Centrale 2013 Spring Collection. I could not decide which one is my favorite so I ended buying 3 from this collection:

From left to right, my beauties:

• I Saw… U Saw… We Saw… Warsaw (dark blue)
• My Vampire is Buff (creamy, nude) 
• Polka.com (light blue and pink glitters) --> it's such a perfect mach, it is easy to mistake it for an indie :-)

Challenge 14: Delicate Print

Hi Girls!

The theme for today's challenge is: Delicate Print.

This was a horrible challenge for me. I don't own any Konad plates, I had no idea what delicate print to make, so I took a powerful pink polish and added some delicate dots :-P

I hope I didn't disappoint you! Meanwhile I have placed an order for some Konad plates. I can't wait to put my hands on them :-D

Products I have used:

• Moyra - Nr. 56 (pink)
• Acrylic paint for the dots
• Dotting tool

Challenge 12: Inspired by a book

Hi Girls!

Inspired by a book was one of the most complicated challenges for me. Days passed and I had no idea what manicure I would present today. 

To solve this problem I used Occam's Razor. Wikipedia's definition sounds like this:  "Occam's Razor states that among competing hypotheses, the one that makes the fewest assumptions should be selected". My definition is more simple: the easiest solution is the best one. 

I asked myself: "Which is your all time favorite book?". And the answer was: "The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco". 

This novel is a historical murder mystery which takes place in 1327, in an Italian monastery, but I preferred to draw only the "title" of the book, not it's story :-).

Products I have used:

• OPI - My Vampire is Buff (from the Euro Centrale Collection)
• Acrylic paints

Pastel Manicure Nr. 1

Hi Readers!

Together with some nice bloggers we have started a new collaboration with the theme: Pastels. 

I find this theme very hard. You can practically do anything using only pastel colors. 

My first manicure from this series is modest. On top of the pastel color I have applied some polka dots. They are my weapon of choice for tuning up a manicure. 

Products I have used:

• Orly - Green Apple ( from the Hot Stuff Collection)
• OPI - My Vampire is Buff (from the Euro Centrale Collection)
• Nubar - Black Polks Dot (from the Polka Dots Collection)

Flower Wednesday - Week 1

Hi Girls!

As I have previously announced (see blog post here), every Wednesday in April will be dedicated to flower manicures. :-)

Today's manicure looks like this:

Products I have used:

• Essence Colour & Go - Nr. 108 Ultimate Pink
• Rimmel Lycra Pro - Nr. 400 Blue Vouge (one of my favorite dark nail polishes)
• China Glaze - Nr. 1023 Icicle
• Dotting tool

World Autism Awareness Day Manicure

Hi,

The 2nd of April, 2013 is the 6th annual World Autism Awareness Day. Autism organizations celebrate this day by fundraising and awareness-raising events.

For this occasion I have painted my nails blue. This is my own way of raising the awareness of my environment, as blue is the official color of autism.

My blue manicure:

Products I have used:

• Ados Cosmetics - Nr. 549 
• Nubar - Black Polka Dot
• Nubar - White Polka Dot
