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!

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 ;)

Some cloudy nail art with A England - Sleeping Palace & Camelot.

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!

Purple leopard.

Hellu!
Since I made an all blue leopard I carried on the rainbow and made a purple one too.

The base is two coats of China Glaze - Light As Air. The spots are Gabrini - M110. And outlines with A England - Camelot (as usual). Plus SV.

And sun!

Next up is probably a yellow + orange. Or perhaps orange + red. We shall see!

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!

Triple tape.

Hellu!
This nail art contains my two favorite polishes of 2013 (first pic).

I started out with one coat of China Glaze - Stella (should've done two coats but you know.. time) and slapped on some regular tape and Sephora - Any Way Any Where. This polish baffles me every time. Makes a true polish nerd outta me! ;) I shall be sad to see it go. This pic also contains a tie dyed sweater that I realised hasn't been on the blog! :O

Some more tape and A England - Camelot + SV. Pretty cool!

Toodels!

Purple sparkles.

Hellu!
I had to try the cloud mani again since it was so easy!

This time I used two coats of Isadora - Galaxy as my base and added Orly - Rococo A Go-Go (also in the top 5!) This was pretty hard to photograph since both polishes sparkle away!

With flash.

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!

Tape and rhinestone skittles.

Hellu!
Skittles! :p

The purple is two coats of Milani - Hi-Res, then I used hole reinforcers and striping tape and added A England - Bridal Veil and Camelot. Bling on some rhinestones, SV and done!

 Holo holo!

I wanna try these designs again but one at a time :p
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!

Sparkle and black.

Hellu!
I had some time and energy this weekend and made some nail art. Finally.

The base is two coats of A England - Lady of the Lake. Then I added two hole reinforcers per nail and A England - Camelot + SV.

And we had sun all weekend :) I like this shape and that it's made from hole reinforcers, which are so easy to use! I already made another mani like this with different polishes :]

Toodels!

Sponge and tape and rhinestones.

Hellu!
Finally some nail art! I was really pleased with this mani but the pics are a bit off...

The base is Sephora - Any way any where and then I added striping tape on some nails and sponged on China Glaze - Stella. And made a heart with purple rhinestones.

On my right hand I just sponged and added rhinestones in a different pattern.

 These were crazy shimmery. Almost looked prismatic or holo in strong light. Love!

I need to make more nail arty manis!

Toodels!

Pretty polish, awesome name.

Hellu!
Many polishes have funny names. So far I don't think I've gotten any just because of that but this one... I just had to! And it is pretty. But impossible to photograph!

This is two coats of Wet'n'Wild - Buffy the Violet Slayer. YEEY! Buffy is one of my absolute favorite shows so obviously I needed this one. And I don't have another purple like it :)

It's much more purple IRL. But purple seems to freak out cameras... So you'll just have to take my word for it that it's pretty :P

This morning my study partner and I handed in our bachelor paper. Feels nice to be rid of it for a couple of days at least lol.

Toodels!

Nail polish love.

Hellu!
I have to say, I love A England. Like for reals. Great polishes, application-wise and the colors. Also, great for nail art!!!111 (this is me excited btw) I was like mmm need something purdy on mah nails /reachforAEngland. Then I was like mmmm what's better than holo? DOUBLE HOLO! With tape!

This is two coats of A England - Princess Tears, tape and A England - Lady of the Lake.

A bit blurry but this is what it looks like without flash.

And here it is with some SV as well. Holo, still present.

On my right hand I settled for half moons which was also really pretty!

Side note, don't wear holo while studying. I was all like oooh purdy nails, let's look at them every 10 seconds. The holo really popped under my reading lamp as well :S

I'm looking forward to seeing what the new collection will contain!

Toodels!

Number one.

Hellu!
Here it is in all its glory. The dupe for Unicorn Pee only available in the UK (which I got when we went to Scotland this summer). This post will contain a looot of pics since I really wanna make you understand how beautiful it is. Yes I'm a nail polish nerd. Start drooling! I think I have to make all the pics big as well 8)

This is two coats (I think? It was a while ago) of Maxfactor - Fantasy Fire (awesome name!) over two coats of Essie - Wicked. Might be a coat of SV as well.

Then it shifts! From the prettiest red shimmer to copper with yellow tint.

To a forest-y green. It's almost embarassing how much time I spent watching my nails with this polish. Almost.

 The first time I tried it I layered one coat of it over A England - Lady of the Lake. Here you can see the purpleness of Fantasy Fire a lot more. And also the holo shines from underneath :)

Here it looks purple and blue.

Here's some of that copper again.

OMG looking at these pics I just wanna remove what I have on and wear this for the rest of my life! Lol :) It's sooo puuuuuurdyyyyy!!!1111111oneoneoneeleven

Toodels!

Orange and purple shimmer.

Hellu!

I felt like doing a tape mani over the pretty orange.

The orange is Wet n Wild - 9.0.2.1.Orange and the purple is Orly - Rococo A Go-Go. I used hole reinforcers and striping tape as well. Oh, and SV you know. The downside of tape manis the day after when you don't cover the tip completely is you get a gap. Ah well :p

These pics don't do this mani justice at all. I blame the crappy weather! These polishes were kinda made for each other. True story.

Toodels!

Purple and blue indeed.

Hellu!
Here's the other Models Own I got in Scotland.

This is three coats of Models Own - Purple Blue. Application was easy but I disapprove of polished that need three coats...

I like the sparkle of the blue in the dark purple base but that wasn't all to visible. Can't win all the time :p

Toodels!

Purple holo aka sister of Tristam.

Hellu!
A real swatch of this beauty.

Two coats of A England - Lady of the Lake. Flash. Rich dark purple holo. Blingarific!

Pretty in the shade as well.

Gah, I sure do like 'em A Englands.

Toodels!

Tape...

Hellu!
I only make tape manis nowadays for nail art. I wish I had time/energy for at least a water marble but alas... But hey, tape aint so bad! :)

Two coats of China Glaze - Light As Air, tape, A England - Lady of the Lake + SV.

I'm going to use the polishes that were on the blog way back. Almost feels like they're new 8) If you want to see how much I've improved my photography (and how much better lens we have now..), here's the last time Light As Air was featured on my blog... :) Also I should make a full swatch of the Lady of the Lake.

Today I'm visiting a friend over the weekend. Yey mini vacation! :)

Toodels!
