30 Zoo Animal

Hey guys!

Today I have the last manicure for the June Nail Art Challenge to show you lovely ladies!
This time it is a zoo animal manicure and I decided to make a classic leopard print on my nails.

I started off with a nude base of OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around. Afterwards I used a big dotting tool and a brown nail polish to dot on random dots and shaped on all my nails. After that I used a small dotting tool and the black nail polish Essie Licorice to outline the dots with different c-shapes.

I love a good leopard print and this manicure is no exception!

Fancy Friday: Texture

Hello ladies!

Today I have another Fancy Friday manicure for you guys!
Fancy Friday is a group of Danish nail polish keen bloggers, that follows a joint challenge in the world of nail polish and nail art every friday.

This time the Fancy Friday challenge is texture!
I was inspired by this manicure by cutepolish and this manicure by me.

I started off with a purple texture base of Nicole by OPI I'm Stucco on You. Afterwards I followed this tutorial by cutepolish using the black Essie Licorice and the white Essie Blanc.

I am in love with nail art over a texture polish - it is definitely not the last time I will be making that!

25 Nude

Hello ladies!

Today I have another manicure for the June Nail Art Challenge for you guys - nude nails!

For today's challenge I decided on doing a mannequins hands manicure.
A mannequins hands manicure is a manicure where you paint your nails a colour that closely matches your skin tone, making your hands look like a mannequins hand.
I used Essie Spin the Bottle to achive this look.

I know that the colour does not match my skin tone perfectly, but I think it is pretty close.

Graduation

Hi girls!

Today I graduated the Danish Gymnasium!

"The Danish Gymnasium offers a 3-year general academically-oriented upper secondary program which builds on the 9th or 10th form of the Folkeskole and leads to the upper secondary school exit examination (the studentereksamen). This qualifies a student for admission to higher education Preparatory, subject to the special entrance regulations applying to the individual higher education programs. Colloquially gymnasium refers to what formally called STX." (Source).

For the special occasion, I did my nails and made them match my student cap using Essie Bourdeaux with an accent nail of Essie Toggle to the Top.

Before I graduated I posted the picture below to Instagram and asked my friends which one they thought matched the cap the best! I am so happy with the two Essies that I ended up wearing.

Here is a picture of me (the face behind the nails) with my student cap and my matching nails!

I am so happy today and I love that my nails is matching my cap!

22 Tropical

Hey guys!

Today I have another manicure for the June Nail Art Challenge for you - a Tropical manicure!

When I think of something tropical, I think of beautiful sunset over a small island with palm trees. So that was my inspiration for my manicure.

I started of with a sunset gradient using the orange polish Maybelline Coral Craze and the yellow polish Ciaté Big Yellow Taxi. Afterwards I used a small nail art brush and the black polish Essie Licorice to freehand on the island and palm tree silhouette.

I am really happy with the sunset gradient, but I do not like how the palm tree silhouette turned out.
