Tattoo

Hey guys!

I recently got my first tattoo of the greek letter psi for psychology (which I study).
Today I made this nail art inspired by my tattoo!

For the manicure I started off with a nude base of piCture pOlish Cherish on all my nails. Afterwards I freehanded the psi letter with a small nail art brush and watered down black acrylic paint onto my ring finger.

I love how this turned out!

Leopard

Hey guys!

Today I have some leopard nail art inspired by (aka. straight up copied from) Very Emily.

I started off with striping tape and Barry M Almond on all my nails (except for my ring finger) to create the negative space design. On my ring finger I added the gold glitter polish F.U.N Lacquer Million Dollar Dream. Afterwards I freehanded the leopard design on my pointer finger and pinky with a small nail art brush and black acrylic paint. To finish everything off I added a gold stud from Born Pretty Store to my middle finger.

I love everything Emily does, so of course I had to recreate this mani the moment I saw it!

Depend The Great Desert

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the up-coming Depend collection The Great Desert*.
The Great Desert is a collection consisting of six polishes with a satin to matte finish. I recommend you using a ridge filling base coat underneath and no top coat on top.

First off I have No. 4092 Hot Desert.
Hot Desert is a light nude with a satin finish. The formula is great and it is easy to work with. The opacity is good as well and it opaque in three thin coats.
This shade is definitely one of my favorites in the collection - it is so sweet and delicate.

Next up is No. 4091 Camel Caravan. 

Camel Caravan is a nude with a satin finish. The formula on this one is great and it is opaque in two thin and buttery coats. 

This shade is perfect for my skintone - now I finally have the perfect shade for manniquin hands.

Next is No. 4095 Dust Storm.

Dust Storm is taupe/brown with a matte finish and a blurple (blue/purple) shimmer. The formula is great (as the others) and it is easy to apply. The opacity is amazing and it only needs one coat!

Next is No. 4094 Shade Seeker.

Shade Seeker is a dark taupe/brown with a matte finish and a aqua blue shimmer. The formula on this one is great as well and it is opaque in one thin and easy coat! 

This shade is so beautiful!

Next I have No. 4093 Sahara Queen to share with you. 

Sahara Queen is a pink with a satin finish and a light teal shimmer. The formula and opacity on this one was good - it was opaque in three thin coats. 

Last (but not least) is No. 4089 Cool Oasis. 

Cool Oasis is a light blue with a satin finish. The formula on this one was great - it applies to the nails like butter. The opacity is good as well and it is opaque in two easy coats.

This is another favorite of mine!

All in all I love this collection - all the shades are so beautiful!

*The collection is sponsored by Depend, but everthing I write is my honest opinion.

Roskilde Festival

Hi girls!

Today I have a manicure inspired by Roskilde Festival for the nail polish brand By K. to show you guys!

"Roskilde Festival is a festival held south of Roskilde in Denmark. It is one of the largest music festivals in Europe and the largest in Northern Europe." (Source).
This year some of the people behind By K. is participating Roskilde Festival with Rising and UNFAIR Fashion at the Arena Drive event and that is why they asked me to make a some nail art inspired by the festival.

For the manicure I made a gradient with the orange polish By K. no. 65 Hallo Hallow and the sand-coloured polish By K. no. 58 Jet Steam. I was inspired by this manicure by Juli at JauntyJuli.

If I was going to Roskilde Festival, this is definitely how I would do my nails - they are simple and matches the Roskilde Festival theme (orange).
