Fancy Friday: Untried

Hello ladies!

Today I have some Fancy Friday nail art to show you guys!
This time the challenge is untried, which can mean both an untried technique or untried nail polishes. I decided to try an untried technique - negative space - with one of my untried nail polishes (like a boss!).

Down below is a picture of my little drawer of untried nail polishes (those of you following me on Instagram have already seen this). I keep all my untried nail polishes apart from my other nail polishes so I know which ones to try out and use next!

For the manicure I was inspired by this negative space manicure by Alice at One Nail To Rule Them All.
I followed her tutorial using a medium sized dotting tool, By K. Dandelion (yellow), Essie Mint Candy Apple (blue), Etude House OR202 (orange) and my untried L'Oréal Pistachio Drage (off-white green). For the matte effect I used Essie Matte About You!

I do not know if I like this particular negative space manicure, but I will definitely try the technique again sometime.
What do you girls think about this negative space manicure? Let me know in the comments!

Stay polished!

OPI Do You Have This Color in Stock-Holm?

Hey guys!

Today I have another OPI nail polish from the new OPI Nordic Collection to swatch and review for you - OPI Do You Have This Color in Stock-Holm?
Do You Have This Color in Stock-Holm? is a medium blurple (blue/purple) creme nail polish.

Both the formula and the opacity is great - it is a little streaky on the first coat but easily builtable with just two coats. Like OPI Ice-Bergers & Fries this one is also a little on the thin side but not in a cuticle-seeking way.

This colour looks purple in most lightings and it is a blue-toned purple, but in some lights it looks blue and I love that about it!

Water Marble

Hello ladies!

Today I have some more nail art to show you guys - a water marble skittlette manicure!

If you do not know what water marble is, you can see this tutorial by Sara from SaraBeautyCorner on YouTube, where she explains the basics of water marbling.
If you do not know what a skittlette manicure is, you can read about how Marta from Chit Chat Nails explains it here.

For the manicure I used my new favorite red nail polish L'Oréal Exquisite Scarlet on my thumb and index finger and the red texture glitter OPI Magazine Cover Mouse on my pinky. On my middle and ring finger I started off with a white base of Essie Blanc. Afterwards I water marbled with the red L'Oréal Exquisite Scarlet, the light grey Essie Cocktail Bling and the dark grey L'Oréal Rue Montmartre.

This is my first successful try at water marbling and I am really proud of my self!

Glitter Placement

Hi girls!

Today I also have some nail art to show you guys!
In last week's Fancy Friday I did some glitter placement with Maybelline Undress to Impress from the new Maybelline Stripped Nudes collection. It just so happens that my boyfriend gifted me the bronze glitter Maybelline Bronze Me Up from the same collection as Maybelline Undress to Impress a few days ago, so today I decided to use that to make some more glitter placement!

For the manicure I started off with the chocolate brown nail polish OPI Ice-bergers & Fries. Afterwards I used a small dotting tool to place the bronze glitters from Maybelline Bronze Me Up in a pattern on the accent nail.

I am loving how easy glitter placement nail art is, but how stunning the result is!

OPI Ice-Bergers & Fries

Hey guys!

Today I have an OPI nail polish from the new OPI Nordic Collection to swatch and review for you - OPI Ice-Bergers & Fries.

Ice-Bergers & Fries is a warm toned chocolate brown creme polish. 

The formula is good - it is a little in the thin side, but not in that annoying cuticle seeking way. Other than that the formula is smooth and buttery. The opacity is good as well and it only needed two to three coats for full coverage.

I love this chocolate brown nail polish!

Fancy Friday: Glitter

Hello ladies!

Today I have some Fancy Friday nail art to show you guys!
This time the Fancy Friday challenge is glitter, so I decided to do some glitter placement.

For the manicure I started off with an off-white sea foam green base of Essie Absolutely Shore. Afterwards I used a small dotting tool to place the gold glitters from Maybelline Undress to Impress in a pattern on the accent nail.

Even though glitter placement is really time consuming, it is almost alway worth the time and effort!

The Ultimate Lemming

Hey guys!

A lemming is having an uncontrollable desire for a particular nail polish after seeing a picture of someone else wearing that colour.
I had The Ultimate Lemming for the nail polish Formula X TNT. I have been wanting this nail polish ever since it came out ten months ago! Unfortunately it wasn't available in Denmark and it still isn't. Fortunately a friend of my boyfriend was able to buy it for me!

TNT is a matte cobalt blue glitter in a clear base.
The formula was fantastic - the perfect middle way between thick and thin. The glitter pay-off was perfect as well!
Down below I used one coat of Formula X TNT over the light blue nail polish Essie Borrowed and Blue.

This is definitely my favorite glitter topper now! It is just perfect!
