Nail art x 3.

Hej!
Jag kollade i mitt arkiv för att se om jag hade bloggat om en manikyr eller inte. Vilket jag hade. Och den senaste nail arten publicerade jag i... februari! Den här bloggen har ju inte handlat så mycket om naglar på ett tag för jag har inte haft så stor lust till det. Men! De senaste veckorna har mina naglar varit hårda som tusan och jag har låtit dem växa ut för skojs skull. Typ för att se hur långa de blir innan nån nagel går av. Haha. Känns det igen från mitt fedelånga hår? (Kom precis på att det var ju en bra idé till kommande inlägg - hår update!) :) Hur som helst! Helt plötsligt var det roligt med nagellack igen :) Så jag har haft målade naglar några veckor nu. Och så rotade jag lite i mappen och tänkte what the heck jag lägger upp de två andra manikyrerna jag hittade.

Skulle tro att det undre lagret är H&M - 70's Boho. Sen lite molnaktig layering med Isadora - Spellbound Black.

En sån där klassisk manikyr. För mig iaf :P Om jag inte är helt ute och cyklar (så här går det när en väntar 4 månader med att publicera haha) så är det undre lagret A England - Fated Prince. Sen lite hålförstärkar-stickers och A England - Bridal Veil. + Seche Vite top coat misstänker jag :P Och kan vi ta en sekund och begrunda det faktum att A England har 3 (!!!) kollektioner som jag inte har ett endaste lack ifrån. Buuuh. :(

Och här är då det jag faktiskt gjorde idag! Igår kollade jag igenom arkivet för att hitta inspiration. Det blev denna. Tycker det är fint med ljust på långa naglar :) Två lager H&M - On Ice och så lite A England - Merlin som jag duttade på tipparna. Och ett lager Seche Vite. Fint! :)

Tänker att den nya nagelkvaliteten kanske hänger ihop med att jag äter lite annorlunda nu för tiden. Mer frukt och grönt och inte så mycket animaliskt. Så massor av nyttigheter och vitaminer och grejer. Kanske kanske! Kul hur som helst :)

Two old manis that were never published. And a new one! :) I've been painting my nails recently. It's fun having long and strong nails. We'll see how it goes :)

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 + holo.

Hellu!
Here's what I'm wearing on my nails today.

The glitter is two coats of Sally Hansen - Glitz Gal. Then I added hole reinforcers and A England - Bridal Veil + SV. Sunlight.

Flash. Spaaarklyyy!

Toodels!

Blue copper.

Hellu!
Here's a polish I ordered before christmas.

 This is two coats of Barielle - Falling Star. Copper glitter in a blue creme base. Pretty cool and unusual for a non-indie polish :)

It felt a bit gritty since I didn't use any top coat but a coat would fix that I guess :)

Toodels!

Two late xmas-manis.

Hellu!
Here are two christmas manis that I never got around to posting. But why not post them in january! ;p

Here's a ruffian (like a reversed french) made with A England - Perceval (the red) and then two coats of Princess Sabra. A bit blurry but you get the idea I hope.

This is three coats of China Glaze - Twinkle Lights. Maybe should've used some underwear for this one.

I just couldn't get nice pics that day. Too bad I have 3 more manis from that day lol.

Toodels!

Blue flash

Hellu!
Here's a polish I've wanted for a while now :) Yay for gifts!

This is two or three coats of Milani - Blue Flash + SV. Underneath I did a coat of China Glaze - Dorothy Who? to make it a bit more opaque.

This is a super sparkly glitter polish with both big and small pieces. And it's so much sparklier IRL! Here are some much better pics of it and also it's the post that added this one to my wish list :)

This is probably the last regular mani for while. More christmas ones to come!

Toodels!

'Tis the season.

Hellu!
Here's a holiday mani for ya'll! It's a bit wrinkly and what not since I wasn't real patient in my applying... Anyways it's red and gold and I'm looking forward to christmas! :D

Also I only have one half-crappy pic of it :P Anyways, this is two or three coats of Barry M - Red Glitter and then I put on some hole reinforcers and added a coat of a gold polish (can't remember which..) + SV.

I'll have to recreate this one later on :)

Toodels!

Pretty dupe.

Hellu!
This is a polish G bought in NYC and gifted me. For some reason she knows my polish taste really well. I like this polish so much I already have it! :O A version of it that is :) But since it's probably my favorite glitter (except for this one I guess) I don't mind having lots of it ;)

This is three coats of Sally Hansen - Glitz Gal. It's easy to apply and dries really fast. Removal is pretty easy as well since it's mostly very small particles. The big ones are holographic :)

Sparklarama!

I should wear glitter more often.

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!

Cirkus nails.

Hellu!
I'm really glad I got this polish since it's almost like a rainbow ;) (I'm guessing that's why it was picked for me :))

The blueish grey base is H&M - On Ice and then I added two coats of Milani - Gems + a coat of SV.

I was going to wear the glitter by itself and try to make it opaque but I thought this look was really fun! :) I'll have to try it over a lot of different colors!

Toodels!

Black and white gradient.

Hellu!
After I did the blueish gradient I got a better idea so that one only stayed on for an hour or so lol.

Behold!

I started out with two coats of China Glaze - Snow on the index, middle and pinky. Then I sponged on China Glaze - Liquid Leather and E.L.F. - White so I got a bit of a gradient. The thumb and ring have two coats of China Glaze - Some Like It Haute. SV on all of 'em.

This was a preeetty cool mani if I may say so myself, but it looked cooler IRL. Ah well.

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!

Sparkly half moons.

Hellu!
I wanted something a bit more fun for a dinner with some co workers a couple of weeks ago. Since I still need to try a lot of combos with the half moons I went for that ;)

Three coats of Barry M - Silver Multi Glitter, tape, one coat of Isadora - Black Rose + SV. Look at that gorgeous dark red shimmer, yum!

I like mixing finishes with tape manis :)

Toodels!

Silver sparkle.

Hellu!
I expanded my little Barry M collection with two polishes when we went to Scotland. Here's the first of them.

This is three coats of Barry M - Silver Multi Glitter. What a fantastic name :p It was easy to apply and dried fast :)

Sparkly! It's mostly silver glitter but there are some other colors in there as well which makes it more special I think :) Removal was ok also.

Toodels!

Glitter and sparkle.

Hellu!
I thought I'd do a mani post in between my photo posts about Scotland. Here's a mani I had on before my vacation started.

Well whaddya know, it's A England and tape ;) The silver glitter is Merlin, two coats. It could have been another coat but I was a bit short for time. Then I added tape and a coat of Bridal Veil and some SV. This mani was a real party mani IMO :) A few dots and it could've been a tuxedo mani ;P

Toodels!

Party mani.

Hellu!
Last saturday we celebrated my granddad's birthday. Ofc I had to have a sparkly and pretty mani for that special occasion!

This is one coat of China Glaze - Ruby Pumps, one coat of Barry M - Red Glitter (fab!) & one coat of Barielle - Elle's Spell + SV.

I had a little shrinkage but it wasn't noticeable IRL. I was really happy with this mani. I wish the photos could've shown it in all its glory ;)

I should wear glitter more often, 'tis fun!

Toodels!

Tape and rhinestones.

Hellu!

Of course I added something to the green. Purple rhinestones and striping tape. The purple holographic glitter polish is Color Club - Too Violet. It was only 20 SEK at Ica Maxi 8)

Toodels!

Trying something new.

Hellu!
I got some Barry Ms as a gift from London about a week ago and thought it'd be nice to have them all in one post :) G, this one's for you!

First up is two coats of Barry M - Cyan Blue + Seche Vite. It was easy to apply and dried pretty fast :) Also, it's a really happy and nice color!

Then I applied one coat of Barry M - Nail Effects 321 and another coat of SV. It's a shimmery golden crackle. This turned out to be quite the swedish mani lol. I think a gold crackle will be nice over lots of colors so I'm glad I now have one :)

Two coats of Barry M - Red Glitter + a coat of regular top coat. It's red glitter (lots of it!) in a clear base. It's a shame there wasn't any sun when I had this one because it was really sparkly!

Over that I added Barry M - Nail Effects 311 + another coat of regular top coat. I loved this look! It reminded me of lavas and dinosaurs lol. This crackle has my favorite pattern yet. The pieces turned out really small which I liked.

Rawr!

There you have it, a mini Barry M review. It seems like a really nice brand from the ones I've tried now :)

Toodels!

Another slanted checkers.

Hellu!
I wore this earlier in the week. It was a little bit fail but mostly it turned out nice lol. Let's start with the base color.

Three coats of Isadora - Flashy Pink + SV. Easy application and dried pretty fast. I like Isadoras nail polishes :) (When they're on sale ;))

Here's where the fail comes in, on the pinky. I got in my head that the pink would look cool with E.L.F. - Smoky Brown. It did not... I thought it would be more grey (smoky) and have a nicer formula :S It was runny. I'll have to try it by itself some day. Anyways. The other nails have China Glaze - Some Like It Haute. + SV ofc. Oh, and that's my LdB Guava cream on my index finger lol.

Now I need to remove the radioactiveness that's on my nails atm and nubbinize since I've broken two nails :/

Toodels!

Alla hjärtans dag.

Hellu!
I think the swedish name for Valentine's Day is much prettier! Alla hjärtans dag means "every heart's day". Me and the bf went out for dinner and then came home and spent the rest of the evening watching Fringe in bed :) I painted my nails in the morning and wanted to have something festive. I managed to find something pretty and untried yey!

China Glaze - Ruby Pumps, two coats + SV. I'm sorry my pics do you no justice!

This is so pretty and sparkly IRL :)

The bf snuck around and went to the store without me on monday. When I got up and went to my computer yesterday these were on my desk. I'm not really the flowery type but I thought it was really sweet and I wasn't expecting it at all :) :*

I hope everyone had a nice alla hjärtans dag and that today is a nice day as well ;)

Toodels!
