NOTD: Abstract Pink

Hello beautiful ladies!


This summer sun is really getting me in a better mood! :D

Today I wanned to show you that you can achieve cute nails without creating perfect shapes! And I'm not talking about water marble or splashing, just lines, strokes that overall can give your nails and extra something wihtout that much effort.

Here I used:

• Rimmel 291 "Urban Princess" as my base colour
• Flormar Supermatte M117 for the semi-roses underneath the silver (ring finger)
• Golden Rose 132 - the Silver
• Olivia (by Orkide) 350 a rosy glitter for the "branch-like" design (thumb, pointer, pinkie)
• Flormar Supermatte M112 - the Dark Purple (middle finger)
• Pink rhinestone from a wheel

Hope you like this!

Have a fabulous summer guys!

First NOTD of 2012: Water Marble Teal-Grey-Silver

Hello ladies!

And Happy New Year! I know it's late but I didn't get the chance to make any decent designs lately because I was out of town for holidays and now my exams are here and I'm so far behind on so many projects :((

But enough about my boring life, I hope you're all happy and healthy and that you get to see through all your resolutions for this year.

My first 2012 design as you already know from the title is a water marble design. I can't honestly pronounce myself if I either hate it or love it because it is in fact special and pretty and all but it's time consuming and a little bit messy and you never get rid of all the bubbles (at least I can't) and I'm almost never 100% happy with the result. 

Now after all this rambling, I give you my teal&dark grey&silver water marble nail design:

Hope you like it and maybe give water marbling a try!

XOXO

NOTD + Review: My FIRST Crackle Nail Polish

     Hello everyone! I hope you're all having an amazing summer!

     Today I want to talk about my first crackle nail polish. For the longest time I've heard people talk about these nail polishes but I just didn't really feel like spending my money on an OPI one so I waited. Now my wait is finally over!

     Flormar has just released a Crackle collection and although I really really wanned a black one I couldn't find it so I settled for a silver.

    Honestly I was surprised to find that it actually works really well, the "crackles" are really defined and it only takes about 30 seconds for them to appear. You also only have to wait about 2 minutes before applying a topcoat which is really good :D

   

    But there's also a down side to this nail polish: it dries sooo fast! I've used it a couple of times but I'm not sure if I can use it a couple more since it's already pretty most dry :( I've heard that other crackle nail polishes have the same problem but I can't make any comparisons.

    Here's my first crackled nail design:

                                                               Hope this was helpful!

xoxo
