Breast Cancer Awareness

Hello everyone!

Every year in October it's Breast Cancer awareness month. I don't think it matters if it's October or February, you should still be aware. 

So I was really stressed when I made these nails and I don't like them that much. But I'll upload them anyway haha. 

It's an easy french manicure with a pink-glittery line and the ribbon.

I used a toothpick for all the details :)

This time I took two pictures, one in daylight and one with flash. 

Daylight first:

 

Flash:

I think the last picture looks a bit too bright but yeah, that was the finished look :) 

Hope you like it!

Checkered

Hello! 

So i'm sorry for not uploading anything new but i've been really busy with school. So I made this easy design! 

CHECKERED nails!

I thought that it would be easier to show you how to make so I used my painting skills and painted a step-by-step guide for you!

Do I really need to explain it? 

For the black I used a nail art polish with a really thin brush.

And here is the finished result:

I also had some fun with the design.. 

That's all! 

Se you in the next ''tutorial''

Angry Birds

You know that really addicting game? Yeah, that with birds that flies and destroys things and pigs? :P

I never really cared about that game. Sadly I do not own anything from Apple and I do not have an Android phone.. depressing.. 

But when I found it on Google Chrome.. Unicorns started dancing!

Why not make a nail design with it? 

I got really inspired from a YouTuber called cutepolish. She makes really easy and cute designs!

So, start off with a basecoat.

Look at that cuticle.. oh God.. 

Next, Make an oval shape on the tip of your nail.

Make some feathers on the head and make a smaller white oval at the tip.

As you can see, my white got mixed ut with the red a bit. If the same happens to you, just let it dry and then go over it with another layer of white.

After that make the eyes, eyebrows and the beak.

To make the eyes you can use a dotting tool ( I used the end of my lip brush) and first make two big black dots, let it dry, and then two smaller white dots. I used an Art Liner for the eyebrows and the black dots in the eyes and for the beak I used a toothpick!

Easy? Yeah.

But I wanted to try to make another angry bird.. the yellow bird. 

Why did I even try..:(

I was too concentrated when I made the yellow bird so I didn't take step-by-step pictures, but here it is (along with the finished result):

Ignore the cuticles, and the fact that I haven't cleaned up around the edges :p

Add a top coat and you. are. done!

Apple

As all of you may know, Steve Jobs died this week.
He was the co-founder of Apple and chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios.

To honor him and his work I made some pretty easy nails. 

I also tried a new polish from ELF, A gold glittery polish.

To get it slightly opaque I used 4 coats. And what I really liked is that the polish is fast-drying!

 

I know that the apple isn't exactly like the real Apple, I kinda did this in a hurry before I went to school! I used a toothpick and a grey/baby blue color.

When I got home I TRIED to make a dripping effect. Honestly, it looks like a mega fail to me haha. And I fixed the apple a bit because it didn't dry before I went out.

With a top coat everything will look smooth and pretty!
Everything I make is made with a toothpick or the end of a makeup brush. The nail art brushes are too expensive here and a toothpick works just as good.

R.I.P Mr Jobs!

My first matte experience

Matte Nail polishes, love or hate?

All I can say is Oh My God! I LOVE it!
Never in my entire life have I experienced a polish that dries this fast. Never, I tell you!

The orange color is really pretty and it's not too matte, and to add some color I made some flowers with a toothpick on two of the nails! 

Obviously I skipped the topcoat to keep the ''non-glossy'' look.

Oh, and btw isn't that teeny tiny brush too cute?

Autumn fall

(sorry for the bad quality)

So, Hello everyone! Where I've been? In Narnia. Yeah, I know..

This design I did TODAY! Woohoo! And as you can see it's a manicure but I didn't use nailpolish for this

What did I use? Eyeshadow pigments! They are really easy to work with and I used a Lip Brush to apply it.
Simply make a french tip with clear nail polish and then gently press the eyeshadow over the clear polish.

I made some ''not so leafy'' dots on the ring finger and thumb and then I dotted some forest green in the orange dots.

Sorry again for the bad picture!

Tiger Manicure

Yesterday I found black polish with a small nail art brush in the stores, I quickly bought it and tried it out. 

It was surprisingly easy to work with!

I painted 3 coats of my beauty polish over my base coat and then I chose five different colors: green, pink, red, yellow, and orange. Of course you can choose any color you want but I wanted to make a bright, happy manicure! Paint a french manicure on each nail, one color for each finger. Then simply take the black polish with the brush and push it on each side of the nail so it flicks and creates a tiger stripe !

Personally I think that it is a really cute design, but I didn't like it that much. Not with my short nails :P I'm going to try a little twist on it when my nails are long again !

Anyway, I hope you like it!

Twisted Manicure

So because I am a bit new with the blogging and all, I thought I'll show you an old design. 

And because it is like two months old the quality of the picture isn't the best.. I am really sorry for that!

I took this picture just so I could show a friend, my mind wasn't really thinking ''This will be the first design I'll upload on the upcoming blog!'' haha.
I'll put better pictures on the new designs I make but for now, the old designs will be like that.
And don't ask me why I am holding my hand like that. No, I'm not hiding anything!

Hello

Welcome to my blog!
As you can tell by the name this will be all about nails and polishes. Fun, huh? :)

FAQ: (no, not really)
I am a 16 year old who lives in Europe, I love making nail designs and I am quite bad with sticking with one design for a whole week.
I will try to show the easiest way on how to make the designs you see on YouTube or everywhere but BE WARNED, I am not a pro. This I what I do when I don't study, this is my hobby .

Obviously, because this is a ''Nail art''- blog, I won't be posting updates everyday. But I'll show you every new design + some reviews on affordable nail polishes.

Well if someone think this will be interesting , all I can say is welcome! And I hope you guys will enjoy what I will be putting up!
:D
