Hello ladies!

Today I made some nail art that is very special to me.
I am politically active, so I made a manicure inspired by my political party "Venstre" (which is Denmark's liberal party).

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on my pinky and ring finger, and a dark blue base of Essie Style Cartel on the rest of my nails. On my ring finger I painted the V of Venstres logo with a small nail art brush and the neon orange China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy.

I really like how this turned out!

Funky Dots

Hey guys!

Today I have some simple nail art to show you - a funky dotticure featuring bow studs.

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice on my ring finger and pinky and a orange/coral base of Essie Peach Side Babe on my middle finger, pointer and thumb. Afterwards I made the dots on my ring finger and pinky with white acrylic paint and a dotting tool. To finish off the skittlette I applied a bow stud to my middle finger.

The bow stud I used for this manicure is from Born Pretty Store. It comes in a pack (#6415 in the pattern #12) of ten black bow studs with white dots.
I really like these bow studs as they are so cute, easy to use and because they are cheap (only $2.55 for the pack of ten!).

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!
