Sparkly leopard.

Hellu!
I wanted something colorful and sparkly on my nails. And leopard print is so easy + requires no clean up. Perfect!

 The blue is one coat of Barry M - Cyan Blue. It's such a cheerful color! :) The leopard spots are Color Club - Hot Like Lava and the black is A England - Camelot as usual. And some Seche Vite to smooth it all out.

The pink is a metallic which really made the spots sparkle. Need to make more metallic leopards!

Maybe I should include a pic from further away because that's probably when I think leopard print looks best. Next time!

Toodels!

Trying something new at last.

Hellu!
I've been meaning to try this for quite some time. And I finally did! Mine aren't so cloudy but I like it :) I'll have to try it with more than one color soon!

The base is two coats of Color Club - Hydrangea Kiss. Then I added the blue cream I always reach for when I'm doing nail art China Glaze - First Mate. It never disappoints. The ring has A England - Tristam. One of the top 5. Puurdy!

With flash. I really liked this mani. So easy to do and faster than tape. Perfect for chipped tips as well!

Toodels!

Plastic nail art.

Hellu!
Finally nail art that didn't involve hole reinforcers!! Omg it's almost like a solar eclipse right? No?

 I saw this technique a while back but never got around to trying it until now. So glad I did! Here's a nice tutorial. Altho I only used one piece of plastic wrap. Preserve!

The base was two coats of China Glaze - Light as Air (which it totally is! Such a nice color) and then I added a coat of Color Club - Disco Dress + plastic wrap + SV. These are super purple but as you may know, purples freak cameras out. The flash pic is color accurate.

I need to do these in every color. It's such a cool look! Two toned manis in my heart.
Lol!
;)
Toodels!

Subtle blue.

Hellu!
Time for some really subtle nails.

The creme polish is Barry M - Cyan Blue, then I added hole reinforcers and Color Club - Emerald Depths + SV. I didn't think it would turn out this subtle, in some angles it was hardly visible :S But pretty colors anyways!

Toodels!

Another two-toned.

Hellu!
Sometimes I just need to make a lot of different versions of the same tape mani... This is what I've been wearing the last couple of days.

The light purple is Gabrini - M110 and the darker is Color Club - Disco Dress + SV. I used hole reinforcers as usual for this look.

I think a light and dark green should be next. Or perhaps pink.. or orange. Red... I'll just have to try them all! :)

I hope you all had a lovely easter. I've been snuggling with my niece who's just the cutest little baby ever! :) I'm already looking forward to the next time I see her.

Toodels!

First Mate times two.

Hellu!
Here are two tape manis I did with the same polish. It's fun to mix and try different combos. Depending on the base color the result can look very different :)

Here's another loud one. The base is two coats of China Glaze - Surfin' for Boys. Then I added hole reinforcers and China Glaze - First Mate.

This is two coats of Color Club - Emerald Depths (lurve it), hole reinforcers and First Mate + SV. I really liked this one :)

First Mate is great for tape manis \o/

Toodels!

Another loud leopard.

Hellu!
Long time, no blog. I've been busy and haven't had any ready pics to get up here. I've celebrated my 25th birthday with the bf, a cosy night in with good food and dessert. I've also been out with friends and celebrated mine and one of my sisters birthdays at my moms place. A busy but fun week! :) Here's some nails from that week! (for my birthday I wore Maxfactor - Fantasy Fire over Orly - Rococo A Go-Go puuurdy!)

Shield your eyes! ;) This is three coats of China Glaze - I'm with the Lifeguard, the spots are Color Club - Disco Dress. The black is A England - Camelot + SV.

And here's a swatch of I'm with the Lifeguard. Matte shimmery neon <3 This winter weather sure makes me want crazy colors :P

Toodels!

Some swatches.

Hellu!
Here's three more of my christmas polishes from G.

This is two or three coats of Color Club - Personal Stylist. It's a dark blue with shimmer.

A bit blurry but this shows the color better.

This is two coats of Sephora - Crush in Moscow. Pretty pinkish red glass fleck.

Pretty in the shade as well :) Great formula on this one, I really like the Sephora brush!

Here's two coats of Biolife - 325. The perfect nude for me :)

It looks a bit streaky here but that wasn't noticeable IRL. Mannequin hands!

Toodels!

Sparkly Sparkling.

Hellu!
Here's another polish from our Scotland trip this summer.

This is three-ish coats of Revlon - Sparkling over Color Club - Sweetpea + SV. This glitter is fun, altho bigger glitter is harder to remove, at least for me. But since there's not a whole lot of them it was fine :)

 It's a fun way to spice up a plain creme polish :)

Toodels!

Peas of the non-eating kind.

Hellu!
Here's the other Color Club I bought recently.

This is three coats of Color Club - Sweetpea. It looks a bit streaky this close but for IRL purposes (heh) it was fine. You know how it is with cremes (that's why I'm a shimmer-lovah!) ;) Also, this is a sun pic (zomg!).

Feels like forever since I made a DIY-post but christmas is approaching and the stuff I finish won't be showable until after presents are opened ;) I've actually been a one-project-gal for a really long time now :O I usually switch from project to project and nothing is finished :P Well I have to make fun gifts for my family so that's making me more focused :)

Toodels!

Flower leopard.

Hellu!
I usually feel like doing nail art on creme polishes.

So I made some leopard print. The base is Color Club - Hydrangea Kiss, the blue spots were made with Color Club - Chelsea Girl and the black is China Glaze - Liquid Leather. + SV ofc!

I really like leopard print! It's so fun, pretty easy to do and you don't have to wait for the base to dry completely like with tape manis. Win-win :)

Toodels!

Flowery blue.

Hellu!
Here's a polish I bought at Ica Maxi for 20 SEK (full size bottle as well). Yay ;D

This is three coats of Color Club - Hydrangea Kiss. It's more dusty IRL.

The real color is like a mix of these two pics. Application was fine, and it dried pretty fast. I got some tiny bubbles on one finger but that didn't really bother me.

Cheap polishes are the best! ;)

Toodels!

Sponging and glitter.

Hellu!
Here's another sponged mani.

I started with a base of two coats of Color Club - Emerald Depths. Then I sponged on H&M - U Must Have This on three nails and two coats of Revlon - Radiant (Scotland find!) on the other two. + some SV ofc.

Didn't get any great pics of this one but you get the idea. I also think I like sponged manis to be closer in finish. These are metallic and creme. Looked a bit weird. The glitter is fun at least :)

Toodels!

Even more tape.

Hellu!
Another day, another tape mani... ;)

The first color (closest to my cuticles) is Milani - Hi-Tech. I then taped it off and added Color Club - Emerald Depths. Which looked more green over the holo than it really is. Last but not least, the black is A England - Bridal Veil. Plus SV of course.

I was a bit lazy on the other hand, but I think it looks nice as well :)

Toodels!

Another purple holo.

Hellu!
This was the last Depend holo to be swatched.

This is two coats of Depend - 2030 Plum over one coat of Color Club - Hot Like Lava. This turned out way pink... Next time I'll layer it over A England - Princess Tears. I want to preserve as much as I can from these tiny bottles... Sunlight.

Day light.

With flash.

Not very color accurate but you can see there is lots of rainbows at least :) What more could you want? ;)

Toodels!

Neon + crackle.

Hellu!
I like to use black crackle with bright colors.

One coat of Barry M - Nail Effects 311 over Color Club - Koo-Koo Cachoo + SV.

I hope you all had a nice Midsommar-weekend. Unfortunately I got a bit of a cold so I stayed home. But at least I had an extra day off to get better.

Toodels!

Glowing orange.

Hellu!
Glad Midsommar!
This is an old mani but I haven't done any midsommar-nails yet. It's bright and fun at least :)

This is two (I think) coats of Color Club - Koo-Koo Cachoo. I remember it to be of a pleasant formula. It's a really nice orange neon!

I like this pic because it shows some of the glowyness! :) Why don't I wear neons more often?

Toodels!

Pink holo.

Hellu!
The other day I tried out another one of the Depend holos. Since holos usually need 2-3 coats (the blue one could've had three instead of the two I gave it) and the bottles are so tiny and expensive I wanted to find a good underwear polish for it.

Sunlight. This is one coat of Depend - 2027 Raspberry over one coat of Color Club - Hot Like Lava

Which turned out to be a perfect match :)

 And here's what it looks like in the shade. It's not as holographic as the blue I showed you earlier but I'm still happy I got it :) It does have rainbows and a pretty sparkle!

Today me and the bf are going to a thrift store and then a farmers market that's in town for a day :)

Toodels!

Re-run.

Hellu!
I was looking through the statistics for the blog and this is my second most viewed post. I was all like what gives? But since people seemed to like it (and keep on googling tribal nails and finding it lol) I wanted to recreate it. It's a little bit different (and on short nails) but the idea is the same.

The base is Color Club - P Is For Pride and the dark red shimmer is Isadora - Blackened Rose + SV to smooth everything out. I used regular tape and striping tape. I don't really know what I think of this mani but it does look fun at least.

Today I've been avoiding studying and did some tie dying instead :S But I'm going to walk to campus and return a book today so that's kind of like studying. Lol, I'm the worst. At least the day is still young! /end rant.

Toodels!

Redredred.

Hellu!
I kept on with the Pride polishes.

This is two coats of Color Club - P Is For Pride. It had an easy breezy formula and dried fast :) Like!

Also, look at how shiny it is without top coat! :)

Toodels!
