23 Animal Theme

Hello ladies!

Today I have another manicure of the February Nail Art Challenge to show you guys - an animal themed manicure.
As some of you know, I am already doing an animal theme, and you can see the other manicures here!

I started off with dusty purple a base of Essie Warm & Toasty Turtleneck. Afterwards I used my Black Barry M Nail Art Pen to freehand on the birds. So easy!

I love this manicure! So simple, but sooo pretty!

20 Floral

Hey guys!

Another day, another challenge in the February Nail Art Challenge.
This time it is a floral manicure!

I started off with a pastel green base of Etude House GR701 on all of my nails. Afterwards I used some white nail polish and a striper to paint on stripes on all of my nails, except for my two accent nails, where I freehanded on some roses following this tutorial by Sam at The Nailasaurus, with the following colours: Essie Lollipop (red), Essie Bordeaux (self-explanatory), Tiger Nail Polish #18 (pink) and Essie Pretty Edgy (green).

I really love the mix of patterns in this manicure.

L'Oréal Grace Tweed

Hello ladies!

Today I have a glitter top coat to show you guys - the L'Oréal Top Coat Tweed nail polish called Grace Tweed. Grace Tweed is a white and light blue small bar glitter in a clear base.

The formula of this nail polish was really good, a little thick but easy to apply, and the glitter pay-off was just perfect. Down below the polish is shown over OPI A Definite Moust-Have - one layer of glitter on my middle finger and two layers on my ring finger.

I got this nail polish as a birthday present from my little brother - he is so cute!

If you like small bar glitter polishes, or fuzzy coat polishes as some call them, I can definitely recommend this nail polish! Right after I tried it, I hurried on down and bought another L'Oréal glitter nail polish, just because of the perfect formula and glitter pay-off.

17 Studs

Hello ladies!

So I made another manicure of the February Nail Art Challenge and I would like to share it with you guys. Today it is a studs manicure!

I started off with a dark nude base of Gosh Nude, followed by a thick, blue stripe down the middle of the nails made with the blue nail polish Essie Mesmerize and a striper. After that had dried completely I topped it off with a top coat and placed the studs on the nails. Pretty simple!

I really love this look. Both edgy and pretty at the same time!
The manicure is inspired by this manicure by Sam at The Nailasaurus.

14 Match OOTD

Hey guys!

Today I have another manicure of the February Nail Art Challenge to show you!
This time the manicure is suppose to be matching my Outfit Of The Day (OOTD). I decided to make the manicure match my new SHOE SHI BAR sneakers, that I got as a birthday-present from my boyfriend (thank you, baby!).

So here's how the shoe(s) look (awesome, right?):

For the manicure I started off with a brown gradient with the two brown polishes La Femme Beauty Brown and Gosh Nude on all my nails, except for my accent nail, which I painted pink with Essie Bottle Service. Afterwards I used a black nail polish and a dotting tool to add the leopard details on all of my nails, except for my accent nail, where I used some gold striping tape to match the stripe between the sole and the rest of the shoe.

I really love how this turned out and how great the shoes and manicure is matching!

11 Pastel

Hello ladies!

So today I have yet another manicure of the February Nail Art Challenge to show you guys. As the title reveals it is a Pastel Manicure, so I decided to make a conversations heart manicure!

Conversation candyhearts

I started off with a skittle manicure of the following nail polishes: Etude House OR202 (orange), Etude House GR701 (green), Essie Play Date (purple), Tiger Nail Polish #59 (pink) and Tiger Nail Polish #45 (yellow). Afterwards I used my Pink Barry M Nail Art Pen to write different conversation heart sayings (Be mine, Love me, xoxo and Kiss me) on my nails. Lastly I topped everything off with the matte top coat Essie Matte About You to add a matte/chalky effect to the nails.
My inspiration for this manicure os from this manicure by Jennifer at FabFatale.com.

09 Hearts

Hey guys!

Today I made the fourth manicure of the February Nail Art Challenge.
As you can see it is a Heart Manicure!

I started off with a light pink base of Tiger Nail Polish #59. Afterwards I used the neon pink nail polish Essie Bottle Service and the red nail polish Essie Lollipop to paint on half of the heart shapes with two curvy motions per polish. It was really easy and simple and you can also check out The Beauty Bean's tutorial on how to do this manicure here.

I really, really love this manicure! I actually think this is what I am going to wear on my nails for Valentine's Day.
