Negative Space

Hey guys!

Today I have a simple negative space accent nail to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a mint green base of OPI That's Hula-rious on all my nails. On my ring finger I only applied OPI That's Hula-rious to the bottom 2/3 of the nails to create the negative space effect. Afterwards I applied a single stripe of bronze striping tape to my ring finger.

Close up!

This is kinda turning into my signature accent nail!

Cirque Colors Storm King

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of Cirque Colors Storm King (that I got sponsored from minta.dk) to share with you!

The formula is amazingly smooth and easy to apply. It is opaque in two coats and it dries in no time, which makes for a quick manicure.

I made an easy negative space accent nail featuring bronze striping tape to complete this simple manicure.

I love this polish - I think it is perfect for winter!

Macarons

Hey guys!

Today I have some nail art inspired by these macarons by @lakridskongen!

For the manicure I started off with a dusty Tiffany blue base of China Glaze For Audrey on all my nails. Afterwards I used a watered-down black acrylic paint and a brush to create the black spots by flicking the brush towards my nails. I finished everything off by adding some random dry brush strokes across my nails using the metallic bronze China Glaze Meet Me at the Mirage.

Matte!

Glitter Placement

Hi girls!

Today I also have some nail art to show you guys!
In last week's Fancy Friday I did some glitter placement with Maybelline Undress to Impress from the new Maybelline Stripped Nudes collection. It just so happens that my boyfriend gifted me the bronze glitter Maybelline Bronze Me Up from the same collection as Maybelline Undress to Impress a few days ago, so today I decided to use that to make some more glitter placement!

For the manicure I started off with the chocolate brown nail polish OPI Ice-bergers & Fries. Afterwards I used a small dotting tool to place the bronze glitters from Maybelline Bronze Me Up in a pattern on the accent nail.

I am loving how easy glitter placement nail art is, but how stunning the result is!
