Rose Bower nail art.

Hej!
Jag blev sugen på att ta fram min striping tape efter att jag haft Rose Bower i några dagar :)

Basen (det röda) är alltså A England - Rose Bower. Sen la jag på två bitar striping tape på varje nagel och målade ett lager Orly - Rococo A Go-Go + Seche Vite top coat såklart.

I skuggan och det multikroma syns mkt mer mmmm.

Av nån anledning blödde det silvriga från tapen ut lite men det blev som en ganska cool effekt så jag tyckte inte det gjorde nåt :) Lite som rost typ.

Toodels!

Hej!
Jag fortsätter swatchandet. Här är den sista av mina A Englands som inte kommit upp på bloggen :)

 Detta är två lager av A England - Rose Bower. Holo + solljus = for lajf.

Tycker deras flaskor är så fina. Crown your hands and feet liksom.

Så här ser det ut i skuggan. Som Perceval med holo typ. Så himla snyggt! Det var lättmålat som vanligt.

Two coats of A England - Rose Bower. It's like Perceval with holo sparkles, love it!

Toodels!

Sleeping clouds.

Hej!
Här kommer lite nail art jag gjorde en söndagsförmiddag. Det kändes som att jag gjort den förut men det är kanske för att den påminner lite om denna.

 Jag målade på lite svarta moln. Basfärgen är A England - Sleeping Palace och det svarta är Camelot från samma märke (som vanligt hehe). Och så ett lager Seche Vite top coat på det.

Typiskt bra sätt att slippa ta bort nagellack ett par dagar till ;)

Toodels!

Sleeping palace.

Hej!
Jag fick lust att måla naglarna för några dagar sen efter att jag hade kollat igenom min A England-kategori (så mycket fint!) och så tänkte jag att det vore najs att ha swatchar på alla. Så näst på tur blev denna fining. För övrigt finns det massor av nya A Englands men eftersom jag inte målar naglarna ofta nu känns det inte rimligt att köpa (plus att det är dyrare nu när det inte går att köpa direkt från dem...) Men jag suktar ändå lite! Till exempel så verkar den här kollektionen hur fin som helst.

Två lager av A England - Sleeping Palace. Så fint och lättmålat och najs, som vanligt.

Och så var det sol och jag ba holo time!!

Det är nåt visst med nagellack ändå.

A swatch of A England - Sleeping Palace. Two coats of purdyness :)

Toodels!

Purple holo stripes.

Hej!
För någon vecka sen gjorde jag lite nail art. Synd bara att det är så tradigt ljus såhär års... Men fint var det iaf!

Lite suddigt och ofokuserat men här syns mönstret iaf. Det ljusa är 3 lager Milani - Hi-Res och det mörka är A England - Lady of the Lake. Och så lite striping tape och Seche Vite överlack. Detta är en ganska vanlig look för mig men fortfarande väldigt najs! :)

Blixtbilder är ju i normala fall kanske inte så jättekul men när det gäller holo så är det ett måste! :)

Kolla vad blingigt liksom! Längtar till den soliga sommaren och holo-naglar err day, mmmm

Striping tape nail art with 3 coats of Milani - Hi-Res and A England - Lady of the Lake + Seche Vite of course. Blingy! I really like these kinds of nail arts. Simple but purdy.

Toodels!

New year's eve nails.

Hej!
Här kommer sista manikyren från 2014, mina nyårsnaglar. Kanske också den mest genomarbetade manikyren det året :p Och två år senare är jag fortfarande ledsen över att A England inte skeppar utomlands. Buuuuu!

Ofokuserad progressbild. Började med två lager Barry M - Pink Multi Glitter. Fick ta ett lager överlack också för att få striping tapen att fästa. Det överdrivet snygga gröna är såklart A England - Saint George. (som jag faktiskt använt ett nyår till men det blev inga foton då)

Eftersom det var nyår var jag ju tvungen att he på mer glitter! China Glaze - Fairy Dust + Atlantis och A England - Merlin. Plus en liten sten och Seche Vite top coat. Svårt att fånga blinget så ni får väl lita på att detta var en redigt snygg manikyr!

My new years eve mani! Two coats of Barry M - Pink Multi Glitter, striping tape and A England - Saint George. I feel a NYE mani needs sparkle so I added some glitter to the tips with China Glaze - Fairy Dust and Atlantis + A England - Merlin. Rhinestone in the middle and some Seche Vite and done!

Toodels!

Holo criss cross.

Hej!
En plötslig inspiration i helgen och så lite roligare naglar för första gången på länge!

Basen är två lager A England - Briarwood. På högerhanden hade jag tävling med 5 olika A Englands för att se vilken jag gillade bäst :p Från lillfingret och fram: Fated Prince, Saint George, Sleeping Palace, Camelot och Bridal Veil på tummen. Jämn match!

Men bestämde mig till sist för Camelot. Och kryss lite högre upp.

Holografiskt nagellack alltså...!!!11oneone Misstänker att nyårsnaglarna får komma med 2015 8)

A bunch of A Englands in this mani. Base is two coats of Briarwood. On the right hand I tried out 5 different ones before I landed on Camelot for the left hand. Polishes used on the right hand (from pinky to thumb) were Fated Prince, Saint George, Sleeping Palace, Camelot and Bridal Veil.

Toodels!

Briar Rose.

Hellu!
I still have some new A Englands to post. Here's one of them!

This is two coats of A England - Briar Rose. It's looks like raspberry holo.

With flash.

Toodels!

Blurple clouds.

Hellu!
Blurple. Yes, it's actually a word. Perhaps not a real word according to the dictionary but if you read a couple of nail blogs you'll see it. Blue + purple. Blurple. I think one of the polishes in this mani is blurple. But who knows really, it's kinda made up... ;)

This is two coats of A England - Dancing with Nureyev with some added cloudyness with China Glaze - First Class Ticket. Probably a coat of Seche Vite as well. It looks smooth and all.

Yey for weekends with sunshine! Look at all that bling :)

Toodels!

Ballet.

Hellu!
Here's another one of the new A Englands I bought. It's purdy. I painted my nails after dark so only flash pics unfortunately. I also made some nail art that I'll share another day :)

This is two coats of A England - Dancing With Nureyev. It's a kind of metallic blue with holo.

Most of my A Englands are dark colors so it's nice to have another light one for nail art manis, since I almost always use a light polish with a dark on top.

Toodels!

Briarwood.

Hellu!
Here's the second A England I tried. Only got one decent pic tho.

This is one coat of A England - Briarwood. Next time I'll do two coats. It's a typical A England, super easy application (I mean look at that ring finger line) and dries fast. This one felt a bit different as it's like the holo is sitting on top of the base color. Pretty neat!

Toodels!

Some new ones.

Hellu!
I finally pulled myself together after the disappointment of A England not being able to ship outside of the UK and ordered from one of the distributors. I choose this one. Reasonable prices and pretty fast shipping so that was cool. I can't wait for summer to come. I shall wear holo err' day.

 The new ones.

 And since I was having so much fun with the cool extra flash I wanted to take a pic of them all together. And color coordinate them. You know. Typical monday night.

First up to be tested was (two coats of) A England - Fated Prince. Here it is in its non holo state.

Bring forth... the bling!

Awesome. That is all.

Toodels!

Finally some striping tape.

Hellu!
I haven't used striping tape in a while. Haven't used much at all nail arty the last couple of months but all of that is about to change! ;) Here's the first nail art of 2014!

 This is one coat of A England - Dragon (which is so pretty!) and striping tape + A England - Bridal Veil. And a coat of SV to smooth it all out.

If someone asked me why 75% (probably) of my nail arts include A England I could just show them this pic.

Toodels!

Last nails of 2013.

Hellu!
Quick post today. The camera I use for my nail pics wasn't available but since I had actually made some nail art I borrowed the bf's smartphone. So only one pic.

The base is one coat of H&M - Darling Pink with a coat of China Glaze - Fairy Dust on top. The clouds are Sally Hansen - Twisted Pink. And a coat of SV to smooth it out. This was really sparkly IRL :)

For christmas I wore A England - Perceval (is there any polish christmassier? Yes that is a word) and for new years eve I wore A England - Tristam since I forgot to paint my nails and only had time for one coat! Crazy. Here's to more nail art in 2014 :)

Toodels!

Grey + holo.

Hellu!
I finally made some nail art. A subtle mani with grey and grey.

This is two coats of H&M - Miss Stone Heart (yes I use it aaaall the time 8)) then I added hole reinforcers and A England - Ascalon + Seche Vite top coat.

It's hard getting good pics now since it's dark before I go to work and dark when I get home. So expect flashy pics on the scarce manis...

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!

Teal and black.

Hellu!
Let's see if I still remember how to do this... :P Here's a swatch and some easy peasy nail art!

 This is two coats of No 7 - Cruising. Easy application and drying time was pretty fast. I like the brush, made the polishing easy. I got this polish as a gift from G, first from this brand :) It's a lot darker IRL tho, these kinds of shades are hard to photograph...

Then I was like "wazzup A England??" and added hole reinforcers and Bridal Veil.

I'm a bit rusty at this non-scenic-awesome-icelandic-nature-photographing. I'll have to practise with more nails soon!

Toodels!

Summer nails.

Hellu!
I had the weekend off, and with my work schedule that was almost 4 days off. I painted my nails.. once. But hey, it's something at least! I've been neglecting my blog a lot. I wish it was because I've been super busy doing stuff but mostly it's been work or being tired after work.. It'll get better when I go to Iceland :)

 It's kind of weird picking what you wanna wear after two weeks of naked nails. Pressure! I went for holo since it was sunny :)

The insanely holo pink is three coats of Make Up Store - Britta (super pretty and with a name that is special to me :)) and on the thumb is also A England - Ascalon. The ring finger is two-three coats of Milani - Digital and the darker pink is China Glaze - 108 Degrees.

In the shade. Striping tape in my <3

Also, I can't wait to get happier cuticles! :p
Toodels!

Subtle and not so subtle.

Hellu!
I had two days off work last week and I was all
must. paint. nails.

 I was short for time the first day and needed a quick drying one coater. I chose H&M - Miss Stone Heart. This grey is awesome! The second day I added a coat of China Glaze - White Cap. A magical combo previously worn here. Since I wanted nail art I added hole reinforcers and Miss Stone Heart again except on the ring finger which is A England - Bridal Veil + SV.

Purdy!

I'm kind of looking forward to the next day off lol. And next week I'm actually free the whole weekend zomg! Will need some festive nails then as we're off to a wedding :)
Toodels!

First mate holo.

Hellu!
Another half moon mani... I just keep reaching for them hole reinforcers. Maybe if I remove them from my desk I might do something else... ;)

This is one coat of China Glaze - First Mate, which didn't look patchy IRL + hole reinforcers + Depend - 2032 + SV.

In the shade.

It's been sunny a lot so I can't really motivate not wearing holographic polishes (holo holo!) ;)

Toodels!
