FingerFood's Theme Buffet: #3 Weather

At first I didn't know what manicure I could possibly do for this theme, but then I remembered that I haven't done a cloud manicure for a while now.

I have chosen 3 shades of blue polish and this is what came out of them:

For this manicure I have used:

• OPI - I saw ... U saw ... We saw ... Warsaw (from the Euro Centrale Collection)
• Gabrini - Nr. C06
• Essence Snow Jam - Goofy-Blue
• Nubar - White Polka Dot. I have applied one coat of this beautiful polish because it reminds me of stars and snow :-)

Let's have a closer look at my Weather inspired manicure:

This manicure reminds me either of  starry night or snowing :-)

The next theme will be Sparkle! and will be posted on the 26th of January, 2014.

The Techniques Challenge - #7 Fishtail

Hi Girls!

Today I've finally managed to post my challenge manicure on time! 

This is my second attempt for the Fishtail design. The first time I have used a dark green instead of the pink, but the brush was too wide and ruined the design :-(

Products I have used:

• China Glaze - Icicle
• Gabrini - Nr. C06 (blue)
• Gabrini - Nr. 40 (pink)

At first I found this manicure ... strange. But as time passed I got to like it. Now I adore it and want to repeat it :-D. 

For the second try I plan to draw more thicker lines. This design seems to make my nails larger than they are in real life. 

The next challenge will be Velvet Nails and will be posted on the 30th of September, 2013.

Back to our little challenge. Today's polish should be the cheapest untried / not shown: 

I am not 100% sure that this is the cheapest I have ever bought, but I wore this polish at my interview for the job I still have, in June 2009. Back then I was a student with no income, so this should have been really cheap :-D.

          

I have forgotten how nice this polish is. I still like it after 4 years. In the above images I have applied only 1 coat! Now tuned up with some dots and lines:

Products I have used:

• Pacific Gabrini - Nr. 43
• Flormar - Nr. NA01
• Flormar - Nr. NA12 

Challenge 25: Rainbow Nails

Hi Girls!

For this challenge I have tried a new technique: the one stroke. You will certainly get a great effect using this technique but you will have to works for it. To sweat for it :-P

My nails are relatively small so I had to use a simplified rainbow :-). I have used only the main colors: red, yellow, green, blue and purple. 

Challenge 23: Half Moons

Hi Girls!

It's time for  new challenge and this time it's about half moons. 

I always liked half moons manicures but I never dared to try one...this time I had to  :-)

My manicure is not a conventional Half Moons manicures, because instead of using nail polish, my half moons are made of glitters :-D

Products I have used:

• Gabrini (Summer Collection) - Nr. C 06 -> This is a great polish! Quick dry, very pigmented, resistant on the nails. The one thing that bothers me, that after removing it, my hands are all blue. I feel like an Avatar :-D
• Silver and black glitters
