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!

Even though the base colour isn't perfect, I like how this mani turned out!

For the manicure I started off with a neon pink/coral nail polish of Models Own Shades on all my nails.

Fancy Friday: Inspired by Fancy Friday

Hi girls!

The challenge for this week's Fancy Friday is to be inspired by another member of Fancy Friday.
I had a really hard time choosing just one manicure to be inspired by as the other members of Fancy Friday are some really talented and amazing ladies. After a lot of trouble I managed to limit myself to two manicures.

For the first manicure I was inspired by this manicure by Sofie Amalie at According to Malle.
I started off with a base of the beautiful blue Sally Hansen Pacific Blue on all my nails. Afterwards I used a straw, the black polish Essie Licorice and the silver polish Essie No Place Like Chrome to achieve the splatter effect by dipping the straw in the polish and blowing the polish onto the nails.

For the second manicure I was inspired by this manicure by Sussi at Negle Nymfer.
I started off with a pink base of Essie Lovie Dovie. Afterwards I used the brushes in the white polish OPI Alpine Snow followed by the pink/red Essie Double Breasted Jacket to make the cloud effect.

I wish I could have done 20 manicures - one for each of the members of Fancy Friday!

Fancy Friday: Halloween

Hello ladies!

Time for some more Fancy Friday nail art!
Today the challenge is Halloween and I decided to make a red splatter manicure to make it look like I just killed someone *insert evil laugh here*.

For the manicure I started off with a white base of Essie Blanc. Afterwards I used a regular straw and the red nail polish By K. The Sky is the Limit to make the splatter effect on all my nails - you just dip the straw in the polish and blow the polish out on your nails. It was really easy to do, but clean-up took forever!

I really love how this Halloween nail art turned out and I am going to wear it to a Halloween party tonight!
What do you guys think about it? Let me know in the comments!
