New Year's Eve

Hey guys!

Today I have this year's last blog post to share with you - my New Year's Eve nails!

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice on all my nails. Afterwards I used a striping brush and the silver holographic glitter polish F.U.N Lacquer Diamond Flake to make the glitter waterfall.

Depend No Yellow

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of Depend No Yellow (SPONSORED) to share with you!
Depend No Yellow is a nail product that is made to camouflage yellow nails.


First off I have a picture of my nails without any product on.


And here they are with one coat of Depend No Yellow.


As you can see the product helped a little on my yellow nails. To be honest I was expecting a bigger change in color, but there is a bit of a difference there.

What do you guys think about this product? Did you think it worked?

Palate Cleanser

Hey guys!

Today I have some neutral nail art inspired by @nata_berestova to share with you!
After all the Christmas nail art I really needed something simple to act like a palate cleanser for me.

For the manicure I started off with a taupe base of piCture pOlish Merge on my pointer, middle finger and thumb, and a dark purple/taupe base of piCture pOlish Sisters on my ring finger. On my ring finger I used the two polishes and a make-up sponge to create the vertical gradient.

I love a simple vertical gradient like this one!

Santa Hats

Hey guys!

Merry Christmas!
Today I have another Christmas manicure to share with you - little Santa hats inspired by Keshialilly!

For the manicure I started off with a red French tip of Essie Really Red on all my nails. Afterwards I used a dotting tool, a small nail art brush, white nail polish, and black nail polish to freehand the details of the Santa hat.


This is definitely one of my all time favourite Christmas nail art designs!

On the pointer I used Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid stamped with H&M Space Race, on my middle finger I used Essie Dress to Kilt stamped with Essie Penny Talk, on my ring  finger I used piCture pOlish Kryptonite, and on my pinky I used Essence Wild White Ways stamped with Essie Licorice. To finish off the presents I used striping tape in different colors.

Christmas Ornaments

Hey guys!

Today I have a DIY project to share with you - christmas ornaments made with nail polish!
I also made some last year and the year before. You can check them out here, here and here.


To get started, you need some plain glass ornament and a lot of nail polish.
I found my glass ornaments at the Danish hobby store Panduro.

When making these nail polish christmas ornaments, I always start off by pouring some nail polish inside the ornament and turning it around until the entire inside of the ornament is covered with nail polish.


First up is this christmas tree ornament.
I swirled around Essie S'il Vous Play on the inside of the ornament with a Q-tip to create the swirled effect. On the outside I freehanded six different christmas trees with a small nail art brush and the blue polish Essie Style Cartel.


Next up is this 'God Jul' ornament. 'God Jul' means Merry Christmas in Danish!
I used OPI Innie Minnie Mightie Bow on the inside of the ornament. On the outside I freehanded the letters with a small nail art brush and gold acrylic paint.


Next I have this beautiful glitter ornament.
I started off with the blue Ciaté Skinny Jeans on the inside of the ornament. Then I made this glitter gradient using L'Oréal Gold Leaf.


This last ornament is not made this polish, but I thought I would share it anyway, because it's so pretty!

And that's it! What do you guys think about these nail polish christmas ornaments?

Rudolph

Hey guys!

Today I have some cute Christmas nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with the beautiful red polish Cirque Colors Rioja on all my nails, except for my ring finger which I painted blue with Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid. Afterwards I freehanded Rudolph the Reindeer on my ring finger with a small nail art brush, the brown piCture pOlish Nougat, Cirque Colors Rioja (for the nose), Essie Lady Godiva (for the antlers), and white and black polish for the eyes.

I love how this cute nail art turned out!

OPI Snow Globetrotter

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of OPI Snow Globetrotter to share with you!
Snow Globetrotter is matte white and iridescent hex glitters in a clear base.

The formula on this polish is on the thin side, which means it takes quite a bit of manipulation to distribute the glitters evenly on the nails. It also means you need to fish for the bigger glitters in the bottle.
Below it is shown with one layer on top of Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid.


Close up!


Even though this polish is hard to work with, it looks really pretty on the nails!

Christmas Sweater

Hey guys!

Today I have some christmas sweater nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a red base of Essie Dress to Kilt on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the design onto my middle and ring finger with MoYou London Festive 06 stamping plate and the white polish Essence Wild White Ways. To finish everything off I added China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.


Close up!


I actually don't have a christmas sweater, but now I have the design on my nails!

Snowflakes

Hey guys!

I'M BACK! Did you miss me?

Today I have some simple stamping nail art featuring snowflakes to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a dark blue base of Essie Style Cartel on all my nails. On my ring finger I created the negative space accent nail with a small nail art brush dipped in acetone. Afterwards I added the rose gold snowflakes using Essie Penny Talk and MoYou London Festive 02 stamping plate.
