Rose Gold French Manicure

Hi girls!

Today I did a really simple manicure - a rose gold french manicure!
I was inspired by this manicure by Arelis P at nailsbyarelisp on Instagram.

I started off with the semi-sheer pale nude nail polish that is Essie Adore-A-Ball. With two easy coats it looked like this:

Afterwards I freehanded on the rose gold tips using Essie Penny Talk. You can also check out Arelis' video on how to make the manicure here.

I really love both the polish Adore-A-Ball and this manicure! It is so simple, but sooo pretty!

Mix and Match

Hello ladies!

Today I made some nail art for you guys! It is mix and match manicure with oversized patterns inspired by this manicure by Sarah at Chalkboard Nails.

For the leopard nails I started off with a tan nude base. Afterwards I used a big dotting tool to dot on some random dots and shapes with a brown nail polish. Lastly I used a smaller dotting tool and a black nail polish to partly frame the random shapes with little, black c-shapes.

For the striped nails I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow. When that was completely dry I added some regular tape cut out in small strips, and painted over them with Essie Licorice. Afterwards I removed the tape to reveal the base colour, that was left untouched underneath.

I LOVE this manicure! It is just so awesome!

Jazz it up some more!

Hey guys!

Remember me trying to jazz it up last time?
Well, I felt like doing it again over my current manicure - Essie In the Cab-Ana. So I added a layer of Essie Jazzy Jubilant to jazz things up again, so to speak.

Essie Jazzy Jubilant is just such a versatile glitter, as it contains both red, green, blue, purple, silver, and gold hexagon-shaped glitters in various sizes. It sounds overwhelming, but the polish is actually one of the more subdued multicoloured glitters I have seen.
You can also check out my review on Jazzy Jubilant here.

I just love this glitter! It is so versatile and it looks good over pretty much any base colour!

Essie In the Cab-Ana

Hello ladies!

Today I received a new nail polish in the mail, and of course I had to try it on right away!
The nail polish is Essie In the Cab-Ana which is the name-sake of the Essie Resort 2013 Collection.
In the Cab-Ana is a bright blue creme polish with teal undertones to it.

The formula was amazing - nice and smooth to apply. It only needed two easy coats, so the opacity was great as well!

I cannot get enough blues in my collection, and this one is a nice addition! I love the colour!

Jazz it up!

Hey guys!

So I felt like adding some sparkle to my current manicure - OPI Funky Dunkey. That is why I added a coat of Essie Jazzy Jubilant to jazz things up.

I love how pretty and festive this turned out! The two polishes work great together!

OPI Funky Dunkey

Hi girls!

Today I swatched the perfect purple polish - OPI Funky Dunkey!
Funky Dunkey is a rich purple creme nail polish from the OPI Shrek Forever After Collection of spring 2010.

The formula was good - a little on the thin side, but opaque, nevertheless, in two coats. Furthermore it is fast-drying to a shiny finish and it has a great wear-time!

I love this shade of purple - so rich and beautiful!

Easter Manicure #4

Hello ladies!

So today I had time to make some more easter nail art for you guys - an 'easter-eggs-in-the-grass'-manicure!

I started off with a light blue base of Essie Borrowed & Blue from earlier today. Afterwards I freehanded on some small easter eggs using a small nail art brush and the following polishes: Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (blue), Essie Lovie Dovie (pink) and Ciaté Big Yellow Taxi (yellow). Using the same nail art brush and the same polishes, I "decorated" the easter eggs with small dots and stripes. Lastly I used a nail art striper and the dark green nail polish Essie Going Incognito to paint on the grass around the easter eggs. And that is it!

I love this easter manicure - it is so cute and pretty! It looks a little like a colourful french manicure!
