Nail Vinyls

Hey guys!

Today I have some nail art with another one of my new F.U.N Lacquer polishes to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice on all my nails. Afterwards I applied a single chevron nail vinyl randomly on each nail followed by a layer of F.U.N Lacquer Crushed Diamond.

And here's a closer look!

I have to say that I am in love with my new F.U.N Lacquer polishes!

Nail Vinyls Storage

Hey guys!

Today I want to show you how I store my nail vinyls!

Most of my nail vinyls are from Snail Vinyls and Glam My Mani.

I use this adorable, little photo album intended for polaroid pictures to store my nail vinyls. The album is around 10 cm high and found on eBay (I bought it from this link).

I think this is such a smart and cute way to store nail vinyls and stencils. The only down-side is that you have to cut up the sheets to fit into the album.

What do you guys think about this storage idea?

Favorites of 2016

Hey guys!

Today I have my favorite manicures of 2016 to share with you!

First up are these lead light leafs.
I really like this manicure and the lead light nail art technique in general. This picture is also one of my best nine of 2016 on Instagram.

Next I have this minimalistic manicure.
This was part of a mani swap, but I fell in love with the simple negative space manicure and it became one of my favorite manicures in 2016.

Next up are these cute donut nails.
This freehanded manicure is seriously adorable and just my style.

Another favorite manicure of 2016 is this Moroccan mani.
I love this sparkly skittlette! This year I definitely went all out on glitter - especially the beautiful F.U.N Lacquer glitters.

Next favorite of 2016 is this negative space manicure.
This year I fell in love with negative space nail art and used it in all sorts of ways and varieties. This manicure was one of my more popular ones as well.

Next up I have some more nail art I used a lot this year - leopard.
I really love this leopard manicure with a sparkly twist.

Another favorite this year is this freehanded manicure inspired by my favorite museum - ARoS in Aarhus.
This ARoS-inspired manicure was really popular among my friends in Aarhus and I really like how it turned out as well.

This year I really got into negative space accent nails and especially this one with striping tape.
This type of accent nail featuring negative space is seriously my favorite and I use it all the time.

Next up I have this snowflake manicure featuring another negative space accent nail.

Lastly (but not least) I have this Christmas manicure featuring Christmas presents.
This manicure was so popular this year and definitely one of my favorites as well.

And that's it - that's all my favorite manicures from this year.

Scaled Gradient

Hey guys!

Today I have my very first scaled gradient to share with you!

I started off with a white base on all my nails. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge, piCture pOlish Sorbet, piCture pOlish Chillax and piCture pOlish Instinct to create a gradient on about half my nail. When that was completely dry (use a quick-drying top coat) I applied a chevron nail vinyl and used the make-up sponge and the same polishes to create the same gradient on the other half of my nail.

I am definitely trying this technique again - I really like it!

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?

Floating French

Hell ladies!

Today I have some nail art to share with you guys - a floating french manicure.
For those of you who do not know what a floating french manicure is, it is a french manicure tipped 90 degrees so the curve is on the edge of the nail instead of along the tip.

For the manicure I started off with a light blue base of Essie Mint Candy Apple. Afterwards I used French Tip Nail Vinyls from Glam My Mani and the silver nail polish By K. Moon Dust to achieve the floating french look.

I really love how this floating french turned out - definitely not the last time I will make one!
