Make-up

Hey guys!

Today I have some simple nail art inspired by Gabby Morris.

For the manicure I started off with a pink base of piCture pOlish Bardot on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the make-up palette and brush on my middle finger using the stamping plate MoYou London Princess 02, the black stamping polish Mundo de Uñas Black and six polishes to color in the palette (let me know if you want the names). On my pinky I freehanded the mascara brush with a small nail art brush and black acrylic paint. I finished everything off by applying the lipstick charm to my ring finger.

And another!

I think this make-up nail art turned out so cute!

Christmas Ornaments

Hey guys!

Today I have a DIY project to share with you - christmas ornaments made with nail polish inspired by cutepolish!

You need some plain glass ornaments and a lot of nail polish!

I found these plain glass ornaments at Panduro (a Danish hobby store).

First up is this snowflake ornament.
I used OPI Give Me Space as the base (on the inside of the ornament). Afterwards I stamped the snowflakes with MoYou London Festive 02 and Mundo de Uñas White. Lastly I placed glitters from Essie Set in Stones around the ornament and on the snowflakes.

Next up is this pepperminty ornament.
For the base on the inside of the ornament I used piCture pOlish Minty. Then I freehanded the candy canes with white and red acrylic paint.

Time for this glitter gradient ornament.
I started off with a red base of Essie Forever Yummy on the inside of the ornament. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge and Essie Beyond Cozy to make the gradient effect.

Next is this christmas tree inspired ornament.
I used Essie Going Incognito as the dark green base inside the ornament. Then I sponged on Essie Set in Stones, dotted the tinsels with Essie No Place Like Chrome and Essie Good as Gold, and finally freehanded the christmas balls with Essie Forever Yummy and piCture pOlish Bridget.

Last up is this jingle bell ornament.
I started off with China Glaze Golden Enchantment on the inside of the ornament. While that was still a little wet I added the gold bells so that they stick to the sides of the ornament.

And that's it! I still have one ornament with a white base and I do not know what yo do with it. Do you guys have any ideas? And what do you guys think about this DIY?

Hello ladies!

Today I have some awesome nail art to share with you guys - a highlighter inspired skittlette!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of piCture pOlish Bright White on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the text on my middle and ring finger with my new stamper (below), Mundo de Uñas Black, and MoYou London CookBook Plate 06.

Fancy Friday: Pond Mani

Hello ladies!

Today it is time for another Fancy Friday challenge!
The theme (which I chose) is pond mani. I remade this manicure no less than four times and I am still not quite happy with the result.

For the manicure I alternated between a layer of the purple sheer tint OPI Don't Violet Me Down and stamping with Mundo de Uñas White and MoYou London Pro Plate 07 to make the pond effect. I ended up with two layers of OPI Don't Violet Me Down and three layers of stamping.

I love the pond mani technique, but it is really hard and time-consuming!

April Nail Art Challenge: Event

Hello ladies!

Today it is time for another manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday!
The challenge today is to be inspired by an event. I chose the event Kapsejladsen (The Boat Race), which is an annual beer baton between 12 of the faculties on Aarhus University! I study psychology and we wear yellow caps every year to support our team - and that is exactly what I was inspired by.

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the yellow chevrons on using MoYou London Fashionista Plate Collection 05 and Mundo de Uñas Yellow stamping polish.

Even though the stamping came out crooked, I really like this manicure!
