Leopard print on gold foil + purple flowers

I have so much of these foils that I thought it would be about time to use them again :D This gold came out pretty good, although i knew that once I put on the topcoat it would crinkle and loose most of the shine :/ But I'd rather put top coat on and have it last longer than the foil fading in a day :D

 And here you go, the leopard print didn't come out as well as last time but that might also be because of the bright foil underneath :D

 Sorry for the messyness, I can never be bothered to clean up the cuticles, and just pick off the polish on the next day when it's dried :D Gives me something to do during the boring lessons in school ;D
 I just used a toothpick to do these dots, I was supposed to try much more complex flowers but I tried one and it turned out terrible, so these were a little bit easier to do XD

Three French Manicures!

This first frenchie was really random, I just wanted to do a something with glitter and used a blue glittering nail polish I have
 I then just decided to add tiger stripes, I liked the result, although the blue was a bit too dark for the black lines :D
 This actually reminds me of a valentines french manicure :)
 I just painted a stripe on top of the white french manicure with clear nail polish and stuck it in a pink glitter pot :D
 The hearts were a cute addition :D

 This last french manicure I like the most, it's very pink and cute - just what i like :D
 You cant really see them in this picture, they can be seen a little better in the next pic, but I added these circular flakes all over the pink part (you can see them in a pic below). I just painted over the pink with clear nail polish and used my finger to stick them on top of the wet nail polish. Then I just added a few hearts and rhinestones which you can see below

Triple post (bad lighting!)

Yeah I apologize for the bad lighting in all of these pics, I just forgot to take pictures of them in the daylight and this is what happens hehe :D
Anyways here a did a purple french manicure with a nail foil called Fuchsia Fantasy, I like it because it doesn't crinkle that much after you add top coat unlike for example the gold nail foil :D It was a bit hard getting the lines perfect because the adhesive is see through but they still came out pretty neat :)
 I then added a rhinestone and white dots just to make the design a bit more interesting. I painted little purple ribbons on the other hand but they turned out looking horrible so I left my other hand without them! :D
 These nails I did were fun and simple. I started off with a layer or two of yellow nail polish on all nails except with green on the ring finger as you can see.
 I then used a tiny paint brush (a nail art pen will be just as good if not better of course :D) to draw the smileys on the nails. I just noticed that the pic's the wrong way around, sorry :D I then applied a coat of glitter nail polish on top :) I really liked these because they're fun and very optimistic :D

 These nails I actually did according to a tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgqzPyRUcD8) which was really clear and easy to follow! I loved it :D Mine didn't come out as nice though :/ But they still looked nice :) And these nails look really complicated even though they're fairly easy to do :)

Leopard print and a starry french manicure!

So these I came up with randomly I guess, I was inspired by Rihanna's leopard nails though, allthough I did mine a little differently :D Here you can see how to easily get a neat line at the bottom of the nail, just use french manicure stickers.
 I added a few rhinestone stickers and did a leopard print on the other fingers and voila, this is the outcome :) I really loved these nails! :D They're classy and flashy at the same time hahah :D
 I decided to use the star shapes I have and so did a french manicure with glitter tips, which didn't come out as nicely as I hoped but my nails were just sort of the wrong shape for this :D
 I then added the stars for a nice twist, i thought these looked pretty nice too :)

Quadruple post!

I dunno if I spelt that heading right but... oh well! :D I fiiinally found the cable, turns out my dad had it -.- :D Well, since I now have some catching up to do i'll do four posts in one!
First a few konads :)
In this one I used plate no. 20. I covered random parts with pieces of tape, and then printed the design on and then took the tapes off, leaning a nice clean line, which I then sort of outlined, as you can see.

 Here I used BM plates 03 and 11. My white nail polish was running out so the prints didn't come out all that clearly, but well enough on most nails :)

 Here I made another attempt at marbling, and was gonna do a few bundle monster designs on top, although I managed to sort of mess up the marbling, I think the nail polishes I used weren't that good :D


 Pretty terrible, huh? :D
Aaaaand, here is a lesson learned for all of you who try to save on money as I did, since I went to buy normal glitter from a store, and it turned out looking terrible! :D The glitter was too thick and on top of that it all smoshed together somehow after I applied top coat.


Even worse than the marbling! It hurts my eyes looking at this XD

Long time no post

Sorry I haven't been able to post for a while, I have no idea where the cable is that I use for uploading my pics onto the computer so you're gonna have to wait around for a while :/

Sticker fail

So I noticed that I had these cute/funny stickers and thought of using them to decorate my nails. Before you go on- these aren't nail stickers, just normal ones :D
 Here are a few new colours I bought (or my boyfriend bought me :D ) by Depend
 Soooo here you can see the chaos. The stickers did stick, but only from the middle, the ends kept coming off no matter how many times I pushed them into the semi-wet nail polish they still wouldn't stick, I ended up making a really mess of the nails. Oh well, it was a good try, they would've looked really cute if they had worked! :D
