Manicure with Acrylic Paint


I have been playing around with my newest toys: acrylic paints. They are easy to apply and I find them perfect if you want to paint something more complex on your nails. They are easier to use than nail polish and dry really fast.

My favorite shades are:

  • Cobalt blue
  • Viridian Green
  • White


 I applied these colors directly on the base coat. I absolutely love the result.

TAG: 7 sins of nail polish


This tag is about 7 questions that you have to answer. If you like it, feel free to join!
Let's begin!

Question 1GREED: What is your most inexpensive nail polish? What is your most expensive one?
Answer 1: My most inexpensive nail polishes are the ones manufactured by Natty and they cost 2,5 RON. That is approximately 0,5 EUR or  0,7 USD. Even though they are so inexpensive, the polishes dry quickly and are applied easily.

This is my Natty haul:


 From left to right: nr. 445 (pink) and nr. 362 (pink gold glitters)

 From left to right: nr. 372 (bordeaux)  and nr. 381 (dark greyish blue )

From left to right: nr. 363 (camouflage green) and nr. 392 (violet)

Challenge 2: Polka Dots

I have been working on this manicure (including the processing of the pictures) for 2 hours! I don't have much experience with polka dots and therefor it was a challenge to come up with a good combination of colors and dots.

What I have used:
  • Base coat - Farmec
  • Base color in 2 coats - Golden Rose Nr. 110
  • Polka dots - Flormar Nail Art Nr. NA12
  • Top coat -  OPI
  • Home made dotting tool
I was inspired by a see snail I brought last summer in Greece.
