Halloween

Hey guys!

Today I have some Halloween nail art inspired by @lieve91 to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a yellow base of By K. Dandelion on all my nails. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge, the burnt orange polish OPI It's a Piazza Cake, and the black polish Essie Licorice to create the gradient base. Afterwards I freehanded the tree, the haunted house, the tombstones, and the bats with watered-down black acrylic paint and a small nail art brush.

I am so happy with how these turned out!

Christmas Presents

Hey guys!

Today I have some more Christmas nail art to share with you - Christmas presents!
This is inspired by my own design from last year!

On the pointer I used the blue Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid stamped with the silver Essie No Place Like Chrome, on my middle finger I used the red Essie Head Mistress stamped with the gold Essie Good as Gold, on my ring finger I used the green Deborah Lippmann She Drives Me Crazy stamped with the white Essence Wild White Ways, and on my pinky finger I used the white Essence Wild White Ways stamped with the red By K. Oy-Mak. To finish the present I used striping tape in different colors.

This is seriously one of my favourite Christmas designs!

Fancy Friday: Water Spotted

Hello ladies!

Today it is time for another Fancy Friday manicure.
The challenge this week is water spotted (a technique invented by cutepolish) and I made this simple beach skittlette.

For the manicure I started off with a blue base of By K. Blue Fog on my thumb and pointer, a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on my middle and ring finger, and a beige base off By K. Jet Steam on my pinky. Afterwards I made a beach-inspired gradient with the three polishes mentioned above on my middle and ring finger. Lastly I used the white OPI Alpine Snow, room-tempature water and hairspray to add the water spot design to my middle finger, ring finger, and pinky.

The water spotted technique is really hard to do, but I like how this turned out anyway.

By K. Early Summer

Hi lovelies!

Today I have a review and swatches of the new By K. Early Summer collection.
By K. is a Danish nail polish brand, that is both 5-free, vegan, cruelty-free, and allergy-certified!
The collection consists of three polishes. I swatched them using By K. Basecoat Therapy Strengthener and By K. High Gloss Top Coat.

First up is By K. Freezing Fog - a retro off-white pearlescent nail polish. The formula was good - a little streaky on the first coat, but it builds up nicely in three thin coats.

Next is By K. Happy Landing, which is a pink pearlescent nail polish. The formula was great and it was opaque in two coats. The dry-time on these polishes are amazing as well - two minutes and you are ready to go!

The last polish of this collection is By K. OY-MAK - a red/coral, almost neon, nail polish. The formula was fantastic and it applies on the nails like butter. The opacity is amazing as well and it is almost a one-coater!

I really like this collection, but I have to say OY-MAK is my favorite!

April Nail Art Challenge: Family

Hey guys!

Time for another manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday!
Today the challenge is to be inspired by family. I told my little brother to pick out some polishes and he chose a blue, a green, a white, and a black. I made this dotticure inspired by Rijah with the polishes my little brother chose.

For the manicure I started off with a blue base of Essie Butler Please on all my nails except for my ring finger, which I painted white with OPI Alpine Snow. Afterwards I used a medium sized dotting tool and the two polishes I have already mentioned, the green By K. First Class, and the black Essie Licorice to make the dotticure.

I really like how the ring finger turned out, but I don't know if I like the color combination on the other nails.
