Studs

Hey guys!

Today I have some simple nail art featuring lots and lots of studs to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a base of piCture pOlish Bonkers on all my nails (the formula on this polish is perfect). On my ring finger I only painted part of the nail with piCture pOlish Bonkers. Afterwards I added studs in different colors and sizes to my ring finger.

Close up!

I love this simple nail art and how it matches with the piCture pOlish lipstick!

Oil Droplets

Hey guys!

Today I have some very simple nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a stunning red-toned berry base of Essence True Love. Afterwards I added the two studs (that kinda looks like oil droplets) to my ring finger.

Close up!

I am really busy at the moment, so unfortunately I don't have a lot of time for nail art.

China Glaze Treble Maker

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the awesome China Glaze Treble Maker to share with you!
Treble Maker is a green neon.

The formula is nice - it is easy to apply and it is not too thin or too thick. It did need three coats to achieve full opacity though, but the dry time between each layer is quick. It dries down to a satin finish, but it is nothing a good top coat can't fix.

I applied some neon studs from Born Pretty Store to my ring finger to give this mani a pop.
Here's a closer look!

This mani is so fun and eye-catching!

Graduation

Hey guys!

Three years ago I graduated from the Danish gymnasium and today it is my baby brothers turn! That is why I made some nail art for the special occasion inspired by the student cap and by Katrines Negle!

For the manicure I started off with a bordeaux base of Cirque Colors Garnet on all my nails, except for my ring finger which I painted white with Essence Wild White Ways. Afterwards I freehanded the student cap inspired nail art on my ring finger with a small nail art brush, the bordeaux polish Essie Bordeaux, and the black polish Essie Licorice. To finish everything off I added a small gold stud.

And here's a picture with my own student cap!

I think this nail art turned out so cute and perfect for the occasion!

piCture pOlish Blue

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of piCture pOlish Blue.
Blue is a bright cobalt blue creme (it is actually a dupe to Chanel Vibrato - let me know if you want a comparison).

The formula is amazing on this polish! It stays exactly where you put it, which makes it incredibly easy to work with. The opacity is good and it needs two coats to be completely opaque.

I always gravitate towards this shade of blue - seriously so beautiful!

Skittlette

Hey guys!

Today I made a skittlette inspired by the very first skittlette I ever made!

For the manicure I started off with a blue base of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue on my pointer and thumb, a black base of Essie Licorice on my middle and ring finger, and a textured silver base of OPI It's Frosty Outside on my pinky. Afterwards I added the polka dots to my middle and ring finger using white acrylic paint and a small dotting tool. To finish everything off I placed small, silver studs on top of a few of the polka dots on my ring and middle finger.

Close up!

I think this recreation turned out pretty cool!

Drip Marble

Hey guys!

Today I tried a new technique inspired by Simply Nailogical - the drip marble technique.

For the manicure I followed this tutorial by Simply Nailogical using piCture pOlish Escapades, piCture pOlish Glitch, and piCture pOlish Pharaoh.

Close up!

Even though I think these turned out pretty cool, I am not a big fan of this technique - I actually think water marble is easier and looks better (I know *gasp*, right?).

Christmas Trees

Hey guys!

Today I have some more simple christmas nail art to share with you - christmas trees inspired by @nailsbyjema!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of China Glaze White On White on all my nails. Afterwards I water marbled with the three green shades Essie Going Incognito, Essie Ruffles and Feathers, and Essie Mojito Madness. When the water marble was completely dry, I cut it out in triangles and applied it to my nails to resemble christmas trees. To finish everything off I applied a star stud on top of the trees.

Close up!

Even though this did not turn out perfect, I like it!

Essence True Love

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful Essence True Love!
True Love is a red-tones berry crelly (creme/jelly) polish.

The formula was great. It was smooth and easy to apply. It was a little on the thin side, but nothing too bad. The opacity was amazing and I reached full opacity with two easy coats. Look how shiny it is!

Sunglasses

Hey guys!

Today I have some quick nail art to share with you guys!
This nail art is made in the summer house, which is why the clean up is not perfect (I did not bring all my normal clean up supplies).

For the manicure I applied the neon pastel blue Color Club Meet Me at the Rink on all my nails. Afterwards I added the sunglass stud in the wet top coat.

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!
