Vintage Rose & Polka Dot Nail Design

Happy Monday!!!

Well...I actually hate mondays, but who doesn't? :D We have to do the best out of it - like for example posting a new nail design which I did yesterday ^^

I already twice did vintage rose designs, once for a friend with purple base and pink roses, and once last summer with a grey base and rosé roses (check it out HERE).

So this time I actually wanted not every nail to be the same, so I googled a little and saw so many designs where the accent nails had polka dots or stripes - and I went for dots :)

Check it out ^_^

And with flash

Polishes I used:
Turquoise = Wet n Wild "I Need a Refresh-Mint"

Pink = Golden Rose No. 221
Dark Pink = China Glaze "Fly"

White = OPI "My Boyfriend Scales Walls"
Green = IsaDora 

It is actually so easy to create, because the roses should not be perfectly round. You will never find a round rose in nature. So the shapes should be a little asymetric. Later you drop one tiny dot of a darker polish into your roses and swirl it a little with a toothpick or a needle. It creates a more 3D illusion and gives some life.
Then you grab a dotting tool for your polka dots and add some green tiny leafes on your roses - DONE :D

Hope you liked my design and see you hopefully soon again ^^

10 Days Summer Challenge - Day 06: Tribal Nails

Happy Sunday Everybody!!!

Yeeeeah it's already the 6th day of our summer challenge...which not just means that the challenge ends soon, but as well that summer is soon over. Here in Finland the nights start to become cooler already and the weather starts to change. Guess in the end of october we will have snow again >_<

Back to business! Today is Tribal Day :) I just once did a tribal design in my life, last autumn for a 31 day challenge. Took me forever but it turned out ok - check it HERE :)

This time I did it less complicated and more girly and cute ^^ I saw a picture with a partly similar design in the internet and needed to try something like this. I love owls :D

I am pretty happy with the result even it stressed me in the morning, thinking what to do ;)

I used one average white polish as base and did one coat of Dollish Polish "You're a real Sweet Tart" on top. Normally I love these crelly white polish with it's multiciolored tiny hex glitter inside, I just shouldn't have used it for my tribal today :D That's why you can see some random glitter on my nails ^^

After I created some thicker lines and dots with Dance Legend "Spectrum", a pink very holographic beautiful polish.

The last step was, to get a black striper and create the final lines, dots and stripes. 

I'm not very good in creating some steady non-shaked lines but yeah, it gets better I guess.

Hope you liked my little owl tribal and hope to see you back soon, at least for the next summer challenge design which will be posted on monday (evening I guess because I will start working again).

10 Days Summer Challenge - Day 3: Neon Nails

Hi, how are you doing?

I am so tired, traveled through 3 of Helsinki's areas both ways and sat in 4 trains and 2 busses, had a few things to do and went to an important job interview... phew... was a lot :)

Came hore around 4pm and sat down pretty fast to do my nails for the 3rd day of the summer challenge - and today was FUN :D

Neon is just SO cool! I am scared to be blind soon, my manicure is burning out my eyes ^^
I used 4 different neon colors over white base polish to let them more pop - and damn, they popped :D

Sorry the the flood of pictures but I needed to take a ton of them. Sadly there was no sun showing up, still they turned out bright enough I think.

I am so happy how it turned out. 1) I love to do leopard prints because they are so easy and quick and have a huge effect. And 2) I never tried it with neons and I'm literally blown away :D

Polishes I used (over Sally Hansen Insta Dri "Whirlwind White")

Orange = Models Own - "Orange Sorbet"

Yellow = Wild & Mild - "Neon Chic"

Pink = Wild & Mild -" Ultra Pink"

Green = Golden Rose No. 207

For the black outsines and dots I used a black Nail art Pen from Wild & Mild.

I used 2 coats of every neon polish. I as well created first white dots before I applied the colorful ones to really make the result outstanding.

10 Days Summer Challenge - Day 1: Warm Colors

Hey nail-freaks ^^

I got the spontanious offer to still join a 10 Days Summer Challenge which already started one day ago, but since these guys decided to just post every 2nd day I'm good I guess ;)

Today's manicure is supposed to made oft of warm colors only. So I quickly googled it and wikipedia told me that basically every red-dish tone counts. Yellow. Orange. Red. Pink. Great ^^

This is what I came up with:

I am actally very happy with the result. I used a light yellow base color and painted all my nails with it.
After I used thin striping tape and taped 3 pieces across my nails to create these little rectangles. Then I just choose 6 warm polishes and painted my rectangles. And surely, then you remove your tape and clean up the nails with some acteone or nail polish remover.

Just one thing really make me ANGRY! I choose blue meatllic looking striping tape, and it STAINED my beautiful light yellow bast color! It's hard to see on my pics fortunately, but in real my yellow looks ugly and dirty now. Not cool... Need to use my white stripin tape the next time -_-

So, now check out what the other 4 girls did and see you tomorrow for day TWOOO :D

Dance Legend - Termo Trio 1 & Lucky 13 - Stupid Starfish

Moooi!

I have an exciting post for you today! When I bought my Dance Legend holographic polishes I as well included one of the awesome Termo Trio polishes which start to become very famous in the polish world.

Like the name is already telling, they don't just shift into 2, but 3 shades! Cold, medium and warm.

I took a bowl with ice-cold water with me in the garden and tried my very best to show you how this polish is working. Since it is a pretty hot day today the effect didn't last long, just a few seconds, but still it's awesome *_*

Oh, and I topped the polish with an awesomely cute new glitter I got yesterday, it's from Lucky 13 and is called "Stupid Starfish" *_* It's one of these polishes you see on a swatch and you want it IMMEDIATELY! It has a clear base with tiny purple microglitter, medium light green hexes, medium pale pink squares and pink stars. This could become one of my top 5 glitters ever <3

First a few pictures how this dance legend polish will look most of the daytime, without contact with hot or cold substance. Very pretty light violet / periwinkle.

Isn't the glitter cute??? *_*

And now let's come to the fun part: the cold water :)

This is how dark the polish gets in contact with cold substance. But, if I took if out of the water it immediately turned into a french manicure looking dark tip.

In this picture thumb and pinkie are average and the 3 other fingers show a cold gradient.

2sec after taking it out of the water....

...and around 30sec later. Fainted but still visible :)

I used 2 coats of the Dance Legend polish (awesome formula and pretty opaque) and one dabbed coat of Stupid Starfish (very good ammount of glitter and easy to fish for stars).

I hope you got an idea how the Termo Trio polish is looking like and that you enjoyed my pictures :)

You can purchase Dance Legend on their russian homepage and over Llarowe.
Stupid Starfish you can get right here.
Byyyye!

Dance Legend - Fantastic Trip

Welcome back my dear polish addicts :D

Like promised, today I will show you my 2nd Dance Legend holographic baby. I as well have to admit that I "accidentaly" ordered 4 new ones from their russian page lol.
So I guess there will be a few more swatches in future :)

Today´s holo is called "Fantastis Trip", a peach-pinkish polish, which looks pretty nude in the shadow. A very interesting color, not so BAM in your face - and still it freaks out when it hits the sun <3

Check it out

And here is how it looks in the shadow - it was a little hard to capture but I think the first picture does it well.

Very lady-like, its't it? I adore these polish!

I used again 2 coats, with average base- and topcoat. There are no special procedures required, these holo is unstoppable, even without aqua base or with topcoat ;)

Again, you can purchase Dance Legends creations over their russian webpage: here ^^

OR over my alltime favourite polish-page Llarowe :)

Have a great day, here in Helsinki we have 26 degree and beautiful sun <3

See you on thursday with my 3rd Dance Legend swatch!
