Splatter

Hey guys!

Today I have some splatter nail art to share with you!

I started off with striping tape on my naked nail to create the negative space effect with the black nail polish Essie Licorice. Afterwards I used a straw and the silver polish Essie No Place Like Chrome to make the metallic splatter.

Close up!

I think this manicure turned out really awesome!

Cirque Colors Vice 2016

Hey guys!

Today I have swatches of the new Cirque Colors Vice 2016 collection to share with you!
These polishes is sponsered by Minta.dk, but everything I write about them is my honest opinion.

First up I have High Roller.
High Roller is an awesome minty neon. The formula on this one is fantastic and it is opaque in two easy coats! Simply stunning.

Next is Rehab - a blurple (blue/purple) creme.
Another amazing formula with full opacity in two thin coats. It does dry a little matte, so I recommend a shiny top coat. Such a gorgeous shade.

Next up I have Electric Daisy, which is a neon yellow with strong green undertones.
This was the hardest polish to work with in the collection - it was streaky, uneven and needed three somewhat thick coats to be opaque. But look at that neon!

Time for Plastik!
Plastik is a bright magenta creme. The formula on this one is perfect - it glides on the nail like butter and it is opaque in two easy coats. I am in love with this color!

Next up is Sin City - an amazingly neon coral shade.
The formula on this one was great and it was opaque in two thin coats. It was really hard to capture true in color on pictures - it is just so neon!

Finally I have We Trippy, which is a holographic top coat.
I applied one thin coat on top of Plastik.

And here it is on top of Sin City (look at that neon and holographic explosion!).

I LOVE THIS COLLECTION! The colors are beautiful and (except for Electric Daisy) they are amazing to work with!

Your Rainbow Panorama

Hey guys!

Today I have some nail art inspired by my an art piece at my favourite art museum - Your Rainbow Panorama by Ólafur Elìasson at ARoS!

For the manicure I started off with a light blue base of Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid on all my nails. Afterwards I sponged on the clouds with a make-up sponge and a white polish. Then I freehanded the panorama and the small people inside of it with watered-down black acrylic paint and a small nail art brush. Finally I colored in the panorama using OPI Color Paints.

And here it is next to ARoS!

Marimekko

Hey guys!

Today I have some nail art inspired by Marimekko and some twinsie nails by Very Emily and One Nail to Rule them All.

Afterwards I freehanded the Marimekko flowers on my middle and ring finger using a small nail art brush, Essie Really Red, Essie Watermelon, the yellow polish By K. Dandelion, and the black polish Essie Licorice.

Scaled Gradient

Hey guys!

Today I have my very first scaled gradient to share with you!

I started off with a white base on all my nails. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge, piCture pOlish Sorbet, piCture pOlish Chillax and piCture pOlish Instinct to create a gradient on about half my nail. When that was completely dry (use a quick-drying top coat) I applied a chevron nail vinyl and used the make-up sponge and the same polishes to create the same gradient on the other half of my nail.

I am definitely trying this technique again - I really like it!

piCture pOlish Spring

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful piCture pOlish Spring.
Spring is a purple-leaning pink polish with scattered holo particles.

The formula is amazing and easy to apply - it is a little on the thick side, but I prefer it that way. The opacity is great as well and it is opaque in two thin coats.

I love this shade - it is the perfect pink that is not too girly.
