Wedding

Hi girls!

Last Saturday I went to my cousin's wedding and today I would like to show you guys what I wore on my nails for the wedding.
I made a manicure that matched the dress I wore perfectly.

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow. Afterwards I used the dry brush technique and the following polishes: Essie Licorice (black), Essie Chinchilly (taupe/grey) and China Glaze Lemon Fizz (yellow).

I think my nails and my dress matched perfectly!

Stay polished.

April Nail Art Challenge: Animals

Hello lovelies!

Today I have another manicure for the April Nail Art Challenge with Fancy Friday.
The challenge today is to be inspired by animals and I made this snakeskin manicure inspired by one of my shirts.

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped on the snakeskin design with MoYou London Pro Plate Collection 03 and Mundo de Uñas White stamping polish. Lastly I used a make-up sponge and the grey polish Essie Cocktail Bling to dab on a little polish around the nails to make a gradient effect.

And here it is with the shirt I was inspired by.

I really love how this manicure turned out!

Matching

Hello ladies!

Today I have something a little different to show you guys - nail art made to match my weekend bag from Friis & Company!
I actually did something like this once before with my shoes from SHOE SHI BAR.

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice on my pinky, middle and ring finger and a taupe/brown base of Essie Chinchilly on my pointer and thumb. For the floral print on my middle and ring finger I applied full nail water decals and I painted on the silver half-moon on my pinky with the silver nail polish Essie No Place Like Chrome.

The water decals I used for this manicure is from Born Pretty Store. They come in one sheet (#15582 in the pattern #DLS-194), so you have to cut it out in smaller pieces that fit your nails before use. You can also get the same pattern with a different back-ground color, but I chose the black one to match my bag.
I like these water decals as there are enough for numerous manicures (considering you only use them as an accent nail or two), they are really pretty and classy, they are easy to apply and you get a lot for your money (they only cost 1.59$!).

I love how well this manicure matches my bag and how pretty it turned out!

Fancy Friday: Bikini-inspired

Hello ladies!

Today I have some Fancy Friday nail art to show you guys!
This time the Fancy Friday challenge is matching a bikini! Down below is the bikini I decided to be inspired by with the nail polishes I decided to use.

For the manicure I started off with a pink base of Essie Lovie Dovie. Afterwards I used a nail art striper and the blue nail polish Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (original formula) to draw on the horizontal stripes.

I really like how these turned out and how well they are matching my bikini!

14 Match OOTD

Hey guys!

Today I have another manicure of the February Nail Art Challenge to show you!
This time the manicure is suppose to be matching my Outfit Of The Day (OOTD). I decided to make the manicure match my new SHOE SHI BAR sneakers, that I got as a birthday-present from my boyfriend (thank you, baby!).

So here's how the shoe(s) look (awesome, right?):

For the manicure I started off with a brown gradient with the two brown polishes La Femme Beauty Brown and Gosh Nude on all my nails, except for my accent nail, which I painted pink with Essie Bottle Service. Afterwards I used a black nail polish and a dotting tool to add the leopard details on all of my nails, except for my accent nail, where I used some gold striping tape to match the stripe between the sole and the rest of the shoe.

I really love how this turned out and how great the shoes and manicure is matching!
