Fancy Friday: Stamping

Hi girls!

Today I have another Fancy Friday manicure to show you guys!
This time the Fancy Friday challenge is stamping.

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice. As I only have one stamping plate, I used that and the bronze nail polish Essie Penny Talk to stamp moustaches on all of my nails.


It is actually my first time stamping and unfortunately I am really not happy with the result.

Estée Lauder Tumultuous Pink

Hello ladies!

At my graduation party I got two new Estée Lauder nail polishes from my aunt and uncle: Insolent Plum and Tumultuous Pink.
Today I will be showing you the last mentioned.

Tumultuous Pink is dark raspberry pink creme polish.
The formula was amazing! The pigmentation was perfect and it was a definite OCW (One Coat Wonder)!


I love everything about this nail polish: the beautiful color, the shiny finish, the amazing formula, the brush, the bottle - should I go on? It is just perfect!

Stay polished!

Ps. This Estée Lauder shade reminds me of Essie Watermelon - let me know if you would like to see a comparison between the two.

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!

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!
