Black and brown.

Hellu!
I got a lot of polishes from G this christmas, and all of them (minus one) were new to me brands. Here's the first two!

This is two coats of Azadé - Chic Plum. It looks a bit streaky in the pics but it was okay IRL. Easy to apply and it dried pretty fast. The color is a reddish brown with coppery shimmer. And the finish is glass fleck (I think?).

This is two (or three, I don't remember) coats of Azadé - R119. This is also glass fleck I think. Black base with flecks in silver. Pretty!

Toodels!

Day of DIY # 24. Socks.

Hellu!
Before christmas it was really cold and I needed some new wool socks. Preferably knee high. So I made a pair!

They're knitted with one thread Léttlopi that my dad bought for me in Iceland. Thanks dad!

These didn't take very long to make since I used size 4 mm needles. First time I used my Knitpro Symfonie needles. Lovely! (They're rainbowy and wooden)

These socks get the job done but I learned some stuff from making them. The heels were a bit too small and one thread wasn't enough to make them durable. I've already mended them in the heels as a precaution. Make, use, learn!

Toodels!

Another double holo.

Hellu!
Here's a mani from last year.

The pink is three coats of Wet'n'Wild - Hannah Pinktana. I then added striping tape since it's easier to stick to the nail and painted on A England - Saint George + SV. I don't really know what I think about this mani. I didn't wear it long enough to make up my mind :P

Here's Hannah Pinktana on its own. The color is in between Milani - Hi-Res and Milani - Digital. It's a pretty pink scattered holo.

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!

Day of DIY # 23. Rainbow pillow.

Hellu!
Here's something I finished today. I'm very pleased with it and wanted to post it right away! Also, today is Husmorsskolans symöte (a virtual craft meet of sorts) so I thought it would be nice to join in on that for the first time. You can click on the link to see what the others have made as well :)

It's a rainbow pillow for our sofa :)

When I made the blanket I thought granny squares were so much fun, and that it would be perfect making a rainbow granny square. Almost all the yarn is cotton. The white fabric is an old bed sheet from my grand parents. I got the zipper from one of my sisters a while back. So I didn't spend a lot of money on this one :)

I just can't get enough of rainbows.

Pics taken by my personal photographer and bf ;)

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!

Pretty polish, funny name.

Hellu!
I'm in a nail polish group on Facebook and a woman there helped me get ahold of this polish and two others :) Yey! I had a hard time photographing it tho :/

A bit blurry but it shows the color at least. This is two coats of Wet'n'Wild - Teal of Fortune, but I should've done three.

It's a pretty shimmery sparkly teal :)

I have a lot of new polishes so I'll have to get cracking on swatching them. 

Also, the bf totally surprised me and came home two days earlier than I thought! :) What a sneaky boy! :D But it made me reeeaaally happy :) He's the best.

Toodels!
