Fancy Friday: Easter

Hello ladies!

Today it is time for another Fancy Friday challenge, where the theme this week is easter.
I made a manicure inspired by the colors of easter (yellow and green) and the decorations on easer eggs (tribal print).

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on all my nails. Afterwards I made a gradient with a make-up sponge, the yellow polish Ciaté Big Yellow Taxi, and the green Essie First Timer. Then I freehanded on the tribal print with white acrylic paint and a small nail art brush. Unfortunately the yellow polish "swallowed" the white acrylic paint after I applied the top coat, so it looks faded over the yellow polish.

I like how this turned out, even though the white acrylic paint is a little faded.
What do you guys think about this easter manicure? Let me know in the comments!

Stay polished.

Fancy Friday: Favorites of 2014

Hello ladies!

Today I have this year's last Fancy Friday challenge: my favorite manicures of 2014.
Down below I have chosen my personal top 5 manicures from 2014.

Number 5

My fifth most loved manicure from 2014 is this very simple manicure featuring pastel studs. I love how some studs can turn any simple manicure into something more interesting.
You can see the blog post for this simple manicure here!

Number 4

My number four favorite manicure from 2014 is this stamped christmas sweater skittlette. I just recently got into stamping and I definitely need some more practice, but I really like the technique.

Number 3

My third most loved manicure of 2014 is this dry marble skittlette. I love this simple technique and especially this one with two lovely blue shades!

Number 2

A close second favorite manicure of 2014 is this beautiful water marble skittlette manicure I wore for the first day of uni. Even though water marbling is the hardest technique for me, I love how it turns out every time!

Number 1

My absolute favorite manicure from 2014 is this tribal print gradient manicure that I made for Neglenymferne! In 2014 I really got into gradients as they are so easy to do (except for the clean-up part) and look amazing.

Guest post for Neglenymfer

Hello ladies!

Today I did a guest post for Sussi & Maja at Neglenymfer.
The theme for the guest post was Pink Saturday for Breast Cancer Awareness and I decided to make a pink gradient with a black tribal print!
I was inspired by this manicure by Maria at Miss Chinchilly!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of Essie Blanc. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge to make the pink gradient with Essie Fiji, Essie Lovie Dovie and Essie Watermelon. When that was dry I used a small nail art brush and black acrylic paint to freehand on the tribal print. I topped the manicure of with a matte top coat of Essie Matte About You!

I really, really love how these turned out - definitely a different take on a Breast Cancer Awareness manicure!
