Watercolor with OPI Sheer Tints

Hello ladies!

A few days ago I received the OPI Sheer Tints in the mail and today I made some watercolor nail art with the collection.
I was inspired by this manicure by The Polishaholic.

For the manicure I started off with a white base of Essie Blanc. Afterwards I followed this tutorial by Phoenix Beauty Lounge using the OPI Sheer Tints: I'm Never Amberrassed (yellow), Be Magentale With Me (pink), Don't Violet Me Down (purple) and I Can Teal You Like Me (blue).


I love how these turned out and I think that the Sheer Tints is worth purchasing just for the ability to make this kind of watercolor nail art!

Dotted Swirls

Hey guys!

Today I have another manicure for the Danish nail polish brand By K. to show you.
I am totally in love with nail art featuring dots these days, so I decided to make another dotted swirl manicure inspired by Lucy at Lucy's Stash!

For this manicure I started off with a light purple base of By K. no. 78 Lavender Blue. Afterwards I followed this tutorial using the purple polish OPI Funky Dunkey and the white polish Essie Blanc.



I love how this turned out and I wore it for my graduation party!

Fancy Friday: Neon

Hello ladies!

Today I have another Fancy Friday manicure for you guys.
This time the Fancy Friday challenge is neon and I decided to use my newest neon polish: China Glaze Flip Flip Fantasy.

For the manicure I started off with a neon orange base of China Glaze Flip Flip Fantasy. Afterwards I used a small nail art brush and the white polish Essie Blanc to paint on vertical lines.


I think my nails look kinda like lollipops or little pieces of candy!

Polka Dots

Hi girls!

Today I made some more nail art for the Danish nail polish brand By K. using one of the polishes from their new summer collection - no. 79 Glacier.

I made a simple dotticure and started off with the turquoise nail polish Glacier. Afterwards I used a small dotting tool and the white nail polish Essie Blanc to dot on a polka dot pattern.


I always love a good dotticure and I think this one turned out perfect!

Roskilde Festival

Hi girls!

Today I have a manicure inspired by Roskilde Festival for the nail polish brand By K. to show you guys!

"Roskilde Festival is a festival held south of Roskilde in Denmark. It is one of the largest music festivals in Europe and the largest in Northern Europe." (Source).
This year some of the people behind By K. is participating Roskilde Festival with Rising and UNFAIR Fashion at the Arena Drive event and that is why they asked me to make a some nail art inspired by the festival.

For the manicure I made a gradient with the orange polish By K. no. 65 Hallo Hallow and the sand-coloured polish By K. no. 58 Jet Steam. I was inspired by this manicure by Juli at JauntyJuli.


If I was going to Roskilde Festival, this is definitely how I would do my nails - they are simple and matches the Roskilde Festival theme (orange).
What do you girls think? Would you wear this to Roskilde Festival? Let me know in the comments!

Stay polished!

The Classics: Glitter

Hello ladies!

Today I have another blog post for the series of blog posts concerning classic nail polish colours that every woman should own!

Glitters is like accessories for your nails and must-have in every nail varnish collection. If your manicure needs a little extra, adding a glitter topper is the way to go!

I chose four different glitters from my collection.

L-R: China Glaze Fairy Dust, Essie Jazzy Jubilant, Essie Set in Stones and L'Oréal Confettis

China Glaze Fairy Dust is fine silver holographic glitter - perfect for layering over gradients or other nail art.
Essie Jazzy Jubilant is a multicoloured chunky glitter - a fun glitter that goes with pretty much any base colour.
Essie Set in Stones is a silver chunky glitter - the best glitter for accent nails to add that little extra.
L'Oréal Confettis is a black and white chunky glitter - a glitter that is good over everything.

Which glitter do you girls like the best? Let me know in the comments!

Stay polished!

No Buy July

Hey guys!

This previous month I have spend way too much money on nail polish and nail polish related products. That is why I have decided to do a No Buy July! I am not allowed to buy any of the previously mentioned items in the whole month of July.

I know it sounds hard, but the nail polish brand By K. is sending me their brand new summer collection for swatching, I myself have a few nail polishes on the way in the mail and my boyfriend is going to Germany for vacation so I am hoping he brings back some KIKO polishes for me.

Wish me luck and stay polished!
