Mani Swap

Hello ladies!

Today I have a mani swap with the sweetest Milena of Nail That Design to show you guys.
She chose this blue ombré by me and I chose this freehand flower crown design by her.

For the manicure I started off with a nude base of Essie Adore-A-Ball on my middle and ring finger and a pale, yellow base of Dior Sunwashed on my other nails. Afterwards I freehanded the flower crowns on my middle and ring finger with acrylic paint and a small nail art brush.

I really loved working on this mani swap with Milena and I love how it turned out!

Exam

Hey guys!

Tomorrow I have an exam in cognitive psychology so today I applied green nail polish true to tradition and because green is the color of hope!

The green polish I chose was piCture pOlish Enchanting, which is a green scattered holo.
The formula is amazingly creamy and it is opaque in two thin coats. It is a bit more warm-toned in real life as to what the picture shows though.

I am really nervous for my exam so wish me luck!

Tutor

Hello ladies!

A while ago I made this manicure when I applied to be a tutor at psychology at Aarhus University. Unfortunately I did not get the job, but I still want to show you guys the nail art I made!

The manicure is inspired by my experience of the first week of university (where you party with your new classmates and your tutors).
The clown on my thumb symbolizes all the fun we had, the kisses on my pointer is inspired by all the love I got and gave my tutors and new classmates, the flower on my middle finger is inspired by one of my professors who always say that psychology students are the flowers of Denmark's future, the book on my ring finger is a symbol of the (very limited) academic content of the week, and the beer on my pinky is self-explanatory.

You guys are welcome to ask how I made the nail art or which polishes I used!

Fancy Friday: YouTube

Hello ladies!

Today I have some Fancy Friday nail art to show you guys.
The challenge this week is to recreate a manicure from an YouTube tutorial and I chose this tutorial by Nailstorming.

For the nail art on my middle and ring finger I followed the tutorial using a small nail art brush, black and white acrylic paint, Models Own Shades (neon pink), and Essie Vibrant Vibes (neon green). To finish of the skittlette I painted my pointer and thumb with Models Own Shades and my pinky with Essie Vibrant Vibes.

I think this manicure is perfect for summer!

That Little Extra

Hey guys!

Today I have some simple nail art inspired by @nailsbyselina to show you!

For the manicure I started off with a nude base of OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around on all my nails except for my ring finger, which I painted silver with Essie No Place Like Chrome. Afterwards I applied Essie Hors D'ouvres to my middle finger and freehanded the flowers with a small nail art brush and OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around.

I love this simple nail art!

Mani Swap

Hi girls!

Today I have a Mani Swap that I made with @nailsbyselina to show you guys!
She recreated this manicure by me, and I recreated this manicure by her.

For the manicure I started off with a mint green base of OPI That's Hula-rious on all my finger except for my ring finger, which I painted black with Essie Licorice. Afterwards I used different sized dotting tools to make different sized dots in the opposite colors as on my middle and ring finger.

It was fun recreating Selinas manicure!

Ikat

Hey guys!

Today I have some nail art to show you - an ikat design!

For the manicure I started off with a blue base of Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid on all my nails. Afterwards I used a small nail art brush and the white OPI Alpine Snow to freehand diamond shapes around my nails. Then I did the same inside the white squares with the orange Essie Peach Side Babe. To finish off the ikat design I used black acrylic paint to outline the white and orange squares with 'fuzzy' lines.

I have been wanting to make an ikat design in forever and I love how it turned out!
