Leopard

Hey guys!

Today I have some leopard nail art to show you guys. To me a leopard manicure is the perfect pallet cleanser (when speaking of nail art).

For the manicure I started off with a nude base of OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around on all my nails. Afterwards I followed my own tutorial using a dotting tool, the brown nail polish OPI Ice-Bergers & Fries, and black acrylic paint.


I love a good leopard manicure!

F.U.N Lacquer 24 Karat Diamond

Hello ladies!

Today I have a swatch and review of F.U.N Lacquer 24 Karat Diamond to show you guys!
24 Karat Diamond is a silver holographic glitter in a clear base.

The glitter pay-off of this polish is AMAZING and it is completely opaque with three thin coats (or one normal coat followed by one sponged coat). The formula is a little thick because of all the glitter, but that just makes it easier to apply.


This nail polish is so freaking beautiful! It looks like a unicorn puked all over my nails and the holo is SO strong! The picture does not do it any justice, but I uploaded a video to my Instagram!

This holo is so beautiful I could die!

Lipstick

Hello ladies!

Today I made a simple manicure featuring smeared lipstick with one of my new charms from Daily Charme!

For the manicure I started off with a pink base of OPI Mod About You on all my nails. Afterwards I used the red polish Essie Happy Wife Happy Life and a small nail art brush to freehand the smeared lipstick across the nails. To finish off the manicure I applied the lipstick charm to my pointer.


I think this manicure turned out so fun!

In an alternate universe...

Hey guys!

Today I made a space manicure inspired by the talented Tam of @ohmygoshpolish.

I started off with a black base of piCture pOlish Darcy. Afterwards I followed this tutorial by Tam with the following polishes: OPI Silver Canvas, OPI Primarily Yellow, OPI Chromatic Orange, OPI Purple Perspective, OPI Turquoise Aesthetic, and OPI Pen & Pink - all from the Color Paints collection. I added the moons and small planets with a dotting tool and the white OPI Alpine Snow.


This solar system is almost the same as ours as Earth is no. 3 planet from the Sun!

Gradient

Hey guys!

Today I made an awesome gradient inspired by amina2inspire!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge and the following polishes to make the gradient effect: Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (original), piCture pOlish Instinct, and OPI That's Hula-rious.


I think this color combination is really cool!

Strawberries

Hello ladies!

Again, again the lovely Milena of Nail That Design and I made twin nails together!
This time we decided to make some freehand nail art featuring strawberries.


For the manicure I started off with a mint green base of OPI That's Hula-rious on all my nails. Afterwards I freehanded the strawberries and flowers on my middle and ring finger with a small nail art brush and acrylic paint in red, green, white, and yellow. To finish off the skittlette I applied the gold glitter China Glaze Golden Enchantment to my pinky.


Milena and I both think our own manicure is a nail fail, so for fun we call this twin fails!

Pastel Galaxy

Hello ladies!

Today the sweet Milena of Nail That Design and I made another pair of twin nails together - this time we made a pastel galaxy manicure.
You can check out Milenas blogpost here!


For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on all my nails. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge dabbed with random blobs of nail polish (piCture pOlish Chillax, piCture pOlish Instinct, and piCture pOlish Mad Magenta) followed by a white layer to tone them down and make them more pastel, to make the gradient effect. Then I applied the holographic glitter China Glaze Fairy Dust to all my nails. To finish everything off I used a small dotting tool, a small nail art brush and the white nail polish to add small planets and stars.


I really like how our pastel galaxy manicures turned out!
