Wu Tang Clan Nails

Hey guys!
Today I have a Wu Tang inspired manicure to show you. I drew a dollar sign on my indesx finger, the Wutang "w" logo on my middle finger and wrote CREAM on my ring finger. You can see the detail better on the second picture. Sorry about the skin on my thumb but somehow my thumbs suffer the most in winter.

Black & White Chanel Nails

Hello readers!
I hope you aren't freaking out about "doomsday", I'm not sure what to think about the fuss. Never the less, I have a new manicure to show you. Some time ago I found this picture on Tumblr and decided to try and recreate it. I'm not really a Chanel fan but these Chanel nails look awesome! I hope you like my version.

Monochrome and Neon

Hello!
First of all sorry for the bad lighting in the photos, I need to find a solution soon. Here I have a black and white mani with a neon accent nail to show you. I looked for geometric patterns on the internet and painted them on my nails with a tiny brush. It took me about an hour to paint one hand!

Red, Glitter and Houndstooth

Hello!
Red, black, white and glitter is the way to go today! I painted all my nails red except for my middle and ringfinger. I attempted to do a houndstooth pattern on my middle finger but I think I got it wrong somehow. My ringfinger is "I'm not Lion" by China Glaze, a really beautiful champagne glitter with holo glitter which you can't really see on the pictures. I am in love with this polish! But sadly it eats topcoat like a maniac.

Glittery Mint Magic

Hello my new readers :)!
Today I have a very simple mani to show you with a glitter gradient on my ring finger and thumb.
The colours remind me of "Tiffany's" somehow, eventhough in real life the Turquoise is a lot more minty.
Sorry about the dry skin on my thumb but with winter really hitting in my cuticles tend to get really sore and dry.

2. Advent

Hello!
Today is the second advent and two candles are burning on the advent wreath. So for today I did a candle manicure with only two of them burning. I used about 10 different polishes and I don't remember which ones, sorry! Anyway, I hope you like it.

Candycane Stripes

Hey!
To get with the Christmas-y feel, I did a candycane mani. The lines are a little wonky but I freehanded them and regular candy canes aren't perfect either. The red is "Thanks so Muchness" from the age old Alice in Wonderland collection by OPI. It is my go-to Christmas red.
My nails are still short but at least I managed to get them into shape again. If anybody has some tips for serums or creams that actually work for growing your nails longer, please tell me!

Nikolaus Gifts

Hello!
I'm back (sort of). I have been really busy and on top of that caught the flu which prevented me from posting anything on here. But as it is now getting closer to christmas, I will not be lacking nail art ideas for the next few weeks :)
I wanted to show you what my lovely boyfriend gave me for "Nikolaus" on the 6th of December. These two delicious chocolate bars and 4 (!) nailpolishes. Not the colours I would usually go for but that makes it all the better.

The colours are Astor Fashion Studio "Acid Drop", "Cotton Candy", "Mint Candy" and a coral which doesn't have a name.
