Ice Cream

Bei dem schönen Wetter der letzten Tage musste etwas sommerliches auf die Nägel! Inspiriert von einem Tutorial von coewless hab ich das Eiswaffelmuster gemalt und darüber verschiedene Eis Kleckse gepinselt. Darauf hin wurde die Waffel mattiert und das Eis glänzend gelassen, das erkennt man aber nicht wirklich auf den Fotos. Mir gefielen die Nägel ganz gut, allerdings musste ich mir anhören dass ich "Kindergärtnerinnen Nägel" hätte. Aber so ist das nunmal bei nicht Nagellack affinen Männern :D
Leider kann ich nicht alle Farben aufzählen die ich benutzt habe, aber falls euch eine bestimmte interessiert, such ich sie gerne raus!

Mattified Glitter Gradient

Hallo!
Es wird langsam Frühling :) Das heisst die Nägel bekommen auch einen frühlingshafteren Anstrich! Das Foto ist zwar schon etwas älter, deshalb sind die Nägel hier auch kürzer, aber nichts desto Trotz trage ich dieses Design zur Zeit sehr gerne. Ich habe als Basisfarbe "That's What I Mint" von Essence genommen welcher sich so langsam zu meinem Lieblingslack entwickelt :D Danach habe ich mit "Living Daylights" von OPI das Glitzer "ombre" bzw gradient aufgetupft und zuletzt mattiert.

Stripes and Roses

Hallo!
Ich hab mich mal an einem Rosen uns Streifen Design versucht welches ich so ähnlich vor einiger Zeit hier entdeckt habe :) Die Rosen sind mir ganz gut gelungen wie ich finde aber an den Streifen hapert es leider noch etwas. Ich sollte mir wirklich Striping Tape besorgen. Ich hoffe es gefaellt euch!

Nieten Nägel

Hallo!
Dies ist nun mein erster Blogpost auf Deutsch :D Vor ein paar Tagen bin ich endlich dazu gekommen das Nail Art Kit von Essence aus der Vintage District LE zu benutzen. Diesen Look hab ich schon öfter auf diversen Blogs gesehen, hatte bloß nie die passenden "Nieten" dazu :) Meine Nägel habe ich dazu kurz gefeilt, da ich finde dass diese Art von Nail Art an längeren Nägeln nicht ganz so gut aussieht. Ich hoffe euch gefällt es!

Jelly Sandwich

I've reached 20 gfc followers! Thanks for your support guys, I really appreciate it :)
Today I tried my first ever jelly sandwich manicure with some of the new Essence polishes wich are now available in most drug stores. These are 6 layers plus topcoat but despite the thickness it dried through.



Polishes I used:
Essence - That's what I mint
Essence - Ice Ice Baby

Hello Kitty

Hello!
Sorry for slacking on the posts but I usually edit my pictures on my boyfriend's computer which recently broke down. So I am now temporarily trying to find a good way to edit them on my mac.
So on to today's nails! I followed her tutorial and painted a cute Hello Kitty and Polkadot french nail design. I usually dislike french but this is just way too cute! (by the way, sorry for the cuteness overload at the moment, I am in love with pink and everything girly right now)

Birthday Nails!

It's my birthday today! Whoop whoop!
Therefore I have my birthday manicure to show you. I painted a cupcake on my middle finger and kept everthing in a pink theme. On my thumb I placed glitters in a 20 for I turned 20 today :)
Sorry for the short post but I need to get back to eating cake and enjoying the last few hours of the day!

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.

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.

Betsey Johnson -esque Polkadots and Roses

Hello!
Today I have a Betsey Johnson inspired polkadot and rose mani to show you. I used a dotting tool and a small pin to create the roses and the base colour is the same as in the teal and gold post. I think it looks really cute but my topcoat sadly smeared the design a little.

Essence Twilight LE - Jacob's Protection

Hello! Today I have a swatch of one of Essence's Twilight limited edition polishes; Jacob's Protection. Whereas I am no where near a Twilight fan, this nail polish really appealed to me in the bottle. The application was easy with a smooth formula and I was not at all disappointed by the finish. The little blue flakies in the black base look really nice in direct light. The other polishes did not appeal to me but this one is great! You should definitely take a look at it.

Teal and gold glitter

Hello!
This is a manicure I did a while ago with the glitter polish from Essence's Snow White limited edition. It's called "The Huntsman" and has lots of different sized gold glitter and a few flakies in it. Many people seem to have disliked the flakies in it but I actually quite like them!





Sadly the glitter topcoat changed the colour underneath into a more greenish tone but it reminds me of the sea somehow. On the second picture you can see the flakies very nicely.
