Marble

Hey guys!

Today I have some stunning marble nails to share with you!
This nail art is actually a recreation of this mani I did last year.

For the manicure I started off with a white base of Essence Wild White Ways on my ring finger and pinky, and a red base of Essie Really Red on my middle finger, pointer, and thumb. For the marble nails I followed this tutorial by The Nailasaurus using Essence Wild White Ways, the grey polish OPI Embrace the Gray, and the black polish Essie Licorice. To finish everything off I added a thick piece of silver striping tape to my ring finger.

I love this marble technique - I have to try it out with some other colors soon!

Swirls

Hey guys!

Today I have some dry marble nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off by using the dry marble technique to make some swirls on my Uber nail art mat with piCture pOlish Saphira and piCture pOlish Posey. I added some quick-drying top coat on top off the swirls and transferred them onto my ring and middle finger. Lastly I painted my pinky with the pink piCture pOlish Posey and my pointer and thumb with the dark blue piCture pOlish Saphira.

Close up!

I love these two polishes together!

Nail Art Never Posted

Hey guys!

Today I have a few manicures that I - for some reason or another - never posted on here.

First up I have this dotticure featuring marbled dots.
I never posted these because I thought it was too messy to look at with too many colours.

Close up!

Next up is this manicure using nail stencils and F.U.N Lacquer 24 Karat Diamond. 

I didn't post this mani as the design on my ring finger is crooked. 

Close up (look at those horrible bubbles)!

Next up I have this purple skittlette.

I don't quite remember why I did not post these, but I think it has something to do with the picture or the length of my nails. 

Lastly I have a really, really old mani.

The reason I didn't post these is because they were ment to be part of a mani swap with Nail Geek that we never finished. 

What do you guys think about these manicures? Do you understand why I never posted them or do you like some of them? 

Let me know in the comments!

Orange is the New Black

Hey guys!

#onwednesdayswewearorange
Today I have some Orange is the New Black nail art to show you guys as season three is out this friday.

For the manicure I started off with an orange base of L'Oréal Lush Tangerine on my pointer, middle finger and thumb, a cream off-white base of Essie Urban Jungle on my ring finger, and a black base of Essie Licorice on my pinky. Afterwards I used the cream off-white Essie Urban Jungle, the brown OPI Ice-Bergers & Fries and an orange stick to make the "chocolate and vanilla swirl" on my ring finger.

I like how this simple Orange is the New Black nail art turned out!

Fancy Friday: Favorites of 2014

Hello ladies!

Today I have this year's last Fancy Friday challenge: my favorite manicures of 2014.
Down below I have chosen my personal top 5 manicures from 2014.

Number 5

My fifth most loved manicure from 2014 is this very simple manicure featuring pastel studs. I love how some studs can turn any simple manicure into something more interesting.
You can see the blog post for this simple manicure here!

Number 4

My number four favorite manicure from 2014 is this stamped christmas sweater skittlette. I just recently got into stamping and I definitely need some more practice, but I really like the technique.
You can check out the blog post for this manicure here.

Number 3

My third most loved manicure of 2014 is this dry marble skittlette. I love this simple technique and especially this one with two lovely blue shades!
You can check out my blog post about this manicure here.

Number 2

A close second favorite manicure of 2014 is this beautiful water marble skittlette manicure I wore for the first day of uni. Even though water marbling is the hardest technique for me, I love how it turns out every time!
You can see my blog post about this manicure here.

Number 1

My absolute favorite manicure from 2014 is this tribal print gradient manicure that I made for Neglenymferne! In 2014 I really got into gradients as they are so easy to do (except for the clean-up part) and look amazing.
You can see my guest blog post here and my own blog post here.

Which of the nail art I made this year is your favorite? Which are your favorite of your own creations?

Fancy Friday: Breast Cancer Awareness

Hello ladies!

Today I have some Fancy Friday nail art to show you guys!
This time the challenge is Breast Cancer Awareness and I decided to make a dry marble skittlette manicure with two of the polishes from the new Essie Breast Cancer Awareness 2014 Collection.

For the manicure I started off with a light pink base of Essie I Pink I Can on my pinky, ring and middle finger and a fuchsia pink base of Essie Pink Happy on my pointer and thumb. For the nail art on my middle and ring finger, I applied Essie I Pink I Can on half the nail and Essie Pink Happy on the other half. Afterwards I used an orange stick to draw the Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon in the still wet nail polish. To finish off the skittlette I applied China Glaze Fairy Dust on my pinky.

I am really starting to love skittlette manicures!
