Dark green

Dark green from viva la diva!! and some dotting on top. in purple and black. the purple is to sheer to really show, but at least now i know. this was kind of uninspired. And the green isn't my favourite. But it is still green :-D

Light blue in the winter

This is my light blue hello kitty hm polish topped of with white konad hearts :-) I also added some glitter from wet n' wild diamond sparkle! My absolute favourite :-D

I did better than usual with the Konad, and I think the secret is just to take your time, and wait 'til everything dries before konading :-)

christmas, part 2

inspired by laquer lane and beauty judy :-D I used silver for the coat trimming, because I actually forgot to bring white :-o but I like a little over the top glittter this holiday! new years eve will be even worse :-D

I used, Kiss nail art laquer for the gold and silver, rio art for the black and ruby pumps for the red :-)

Me and my moms christmas nails

my mom got red base from Sally Hansen and a green vine  with glden drizzles :-)

And I just went over the top with my nails. red (ruby pumps) and green and two kinds of silver and some black :-D with matching toes ;-) the silver and gold  is with kiss art polishes :-D over the counter in norway!!

Juhu!!!

Blue summer dots!

In my quest to organize my nail photos, i have found old ones that I havent posted! This one is also from this summer! I remember the day well. It was shortly after I got togehter with my love. (and before he admitted that he didnt actually love the smell of nailpolish ;-) )

It's hm's hello kitty turquis nalpolish as a base, and different rio nail art pens for the dotting :-)

India nails!

I promised to show wht I did to my nails in India! green green green :-D

I did some wacky design testing, the shiny holo color is opi desiree :-D Love it!

Colorful flowers

In helsinki, I found these microbeeds in a crafts shop :-D

I used purple from rimmel, yellow from isadora and red from wet n wild. 

And konad!!! I love that pattern :-D and put the beeds in the flowers! 

They of course fell of pretty fast...

Nails from this summer

This piscture is from this summer :-)

base is a holo from HM and dots are made with rio nail art pens :-)

It's not often I bother t match my toes, ut in the summer it's more fun than now!

this is revlon 60 seconds ( I think...) with konad flowers and some wet n' wild glitter on top :-)

I'm starting to understand konad, and it is so much fun :-D

Pink and dots

Today, an old photo I found :-)

Not really shure what I used,,, really not, but it is pink :-p and light... the dotting is with rio nail art pens!

dark purple

i thought I would show you a mani I actually really like :-D (picture is enlargeable)

I used gosh fix base coat, zoya pinta, wet n wild sparkling diamonds, and white konad with plate nr M21 :-)

still wearing it! third day :-D

Help!

I have made a little mess in the tag department... does anyone know how to delete or edit tags?

Because of my error I'm not able to tag OPI in my blog... :-s 

More sparkly nails!

This is what i ended up with after my light blue disaster on the thirteenth :-)

I needed cheering up, so I went for an unused sparkle from Gosh! Bright Passion.

I did not consider the dark jelly base in the polish, and put it on top of opi ate berries in the canaries.... Result is ok I guess, but I think this glitter would be great over a darker shade :-D

I did some konad on my ring finger from plate M21

Clowns anyone?

This dottie mani is not like the ones I usually do, and this one reminds me of a clown's jacket :-p

I used OPI ate berries in the canaries and Rescue beauty lounge stormy grey :-)

Simple, easy to do and I loved it :-D

part of a failed konadicure :-p

this is the base of what I wanted to be a konadicure, but my impatience got the better of me, and I ended up smudging everything... a bad bad bad nail day, and also friday 13 ;-)

I still want to try this, thou!

I used rescue beauty lounge bikini bottom. it is so sheer, that I needed a ton of layers and it didn't dry enough even with quiqk dry topcoat...

over the bikini bottom, I had wet n wild sparkling diamonds. My favorite shimmer top :-D

I wanted to put qute white bows on top, but gave up... another time :-D

Fluorescent

I found some old nail pictures. And this one is with Alessandro turqoise and depend neon pink :-o

I did it this summer, and I guess it's better suited for summer than winter :-p

Flames!

I got challenged to do flame design on my nails :-D The stilized car kind of flames. 

I tried my best, and this is the result.

I used acrylic colors :-)

Happy nails of course with dots!

This time blue and orange :-D

I wish it wasn't three months since I did this mani and I wish I could remember the polishes :-s

Sorry!!  but I did this mani 'cause I needed to keep my spirit up, and it almost worked :-)

Baby blue

I thought I had lost this picture, but found it when I tried to organize my photos the other day.

I used bikini bottom from rescue beauty lounge and dotted with inglot nr 939. The letter is my boyfriend and I made the design after being away from him for a couple of days :)

cupcake nails

wery wery inspired bu Wah nails in london, i made pink cupcakes with darker pink frosting :-)

And rihnestones. I also added glitter sprinkles, but it is not visible :-)

I used a nivea 'Rose' polish for the base and Opi 'ate berries in the canaries' for the frosting.

Halloween nails

I didn't intent it to be, but todays design turned out to be very halloweeny :-)

I used here today, aragorn tomorrow from opi, and the tips are with silver from rio :-)

Then I added red on the silver :-) And it became bloody nails :-D

confetti nails again

I wanted to try the confetti design with acrylics, and so I tried it! very uneven and bumpy result, not the best, but still fun to look at :-)

More layering

on this one I used two similar colors from depend one glittery and one cream.

i used the creme as base and added one thin layer of glitter. and dotted with the base color :-)

dark green with black and purple dots made with rio nailart polishes.

The green is made with zoya dark green (forest something?) and a thin layer of China Glazes watermelon rind on top :-)

I really like to experiment with layers :-D

celebration

It's me and my boyfriends 4 month day today :-D So I had to do partynails :-D

I have done this design before, but I couldn't do it on both hands and I found it really difficult. But I guess I have developed some skills! Because it was easy his time! on both hands :-D

I used acrylics and glitter top coat and I think I will try acrylics for a new atemp on confetti nails soon :-D I also added a rihnestone to my right hand ringfinger  :-)

leopard again!

I think I finally nailed (no pun intended..) the leopard print!

I used hm gold holo as my as my base color and did the rings with black depend and filled them with OPI ds desire (?)

my mom :-D

My mom works as a piano teacher and the other day she said that it would be fun to show up on work monday with a wild manicure :-D And today we did it! she never wears polish, so this was a lot of fun!

I used Nivea rose gloss, depend yellow, depend lbue, depend black, china glaze entourage and Hm gold for the line.

shoes and nails!

Here are both my hands, and my shoes :-)

I used china glaze entourage, nivea rose gloss and depend black.

Testing designs

I looked through a (for me) new blog last night, and got totally inspired! Wah Nails. So I wanted to work on my painting skills today. 

I made a Cherry and tried a leopard print, but it definetly needs more work.. it looks more like some ancient language :-p

Cherry nail: china Glace entourage, depend black, China glaze watermelon rind, colorbar crystal red

leopard: HM gold holo and depend black

And my new shoes! They inspired me as well, and tomorrow all my nails will be like this!

(the colors match better in real life)

China glaze entourage, depend black, Nivea rose gloss

Green and purple <3

I just can't get enough of those colors :-D

in this one I used China glaze Entourage for the base, and I added depend 163 to the "moon" and also little purple hearts :-) The line is China glaze Watermelon rind and on top I had Wet n' Wild Kaleidoscope! 

Here I used the same colors, but in different order ;-)

love inspired nails

I included a picture of me and my love in this post, because purple is his favourite color :-) 

(and since my color is green, it makes a great combination for fun manicures :-D)

i would love to tell you what colors  have used, but I didn't write it down and I don't remember :-o but I think the purple base is Orly midnight star and that the black and the lighter purple is depend polishes. Hm, I need a system for writing down what I use :-D

more old pictures coming up!

polish chipping

I rushed too much putting on my polish today, and didn't let it dry long enough.

So i tried to fix it later today. But with a different color. Starting color was golden bronze from gosh and on top off that, i put OPI designer series Desiree. Not shure if The end result would have been the same without Gosh...

Edit:

I was on my way to India when I wrote this at the airport (and also polished my nails at the airport) And for now, I'm going with plain un-dotted colors :-)

I'm taking pictures, so I might do a post of the mumbai nails when I get back :-)

a Greener world

have I mentioned that I love green? ;-) This mani is with china glaze entourage and watermelon rind. The glitter is from wetn'wild :-)

I need to practice stripes some more ;-)

Stars at night

This is a dark blue I got from nailmail.se :-) It looks kind of black if you don't want a vnl. But I like it :-) I tried to decorate it with silver dots, but I went a little overboard ;-D

It is orly star of bombay. (secomd bombay color in two days... and i'm actually going to bombay on sunday!!)

Bombay yellow dotting

we saw this fantastic old Opel Manta on a walk in Helsinki, and it kind of matched my mani that day!

I kept the confetti on four nails, and made the rest yellow with black dots. One of my favourite combos :-) It is bombay yellow from Gosh. 

Confetti!!

in my last post, I promised to write more, and then I just stopped writing :-p I think I'll just stop promising ;-) But now i have a couple of posts planned.

This one is inspired by Nail of the weeks confetti nails:

The only thing different was that I didn't plan the colors ;-) And I didn't use a topcoat inbetween. I think topcoats in between would have made the colors stand more out, so I'll definately try that next time. And I will try this again, I loved it :-D

I really needed a cheerful mani this day. My love is studying two semesters in Finland, and cheerful dots helped a teeny tiny bit on the travel day. :-) 

So any tips on what kind of polish to buy in Finland is great, I think I'll visit Finland quite a few times over the next year :-)

In britain

And of course I had to do the union jack :-) The rest of the fingers was green, with black dots. (the dots are back ;-) ) I did the flag with rio nail art laquers.

sinful friday

H&M sinful señorita and black RIO dots :-)

Orly stars

I got som postordered Orly polish from Nailmail.se :-D The purple is from orly and called midnight star and the green is paper chasing from Chin Glaze!

I decorated with a  decal and without dots!!

Blackened Gold

(the bottom picture is just to fill out the collage :-p I didn't take enough pictures :-) )

The colors are h&m and mixed together. I used one gold and one blackish (don't remember the name on that one..) I miced back and fouth until the gold was blackened and the other way round :-)

And of course again the dots!

blue and dotty

Dots again!! :-D

blue from H&M their hello kitty polish.

I used rio nail art colors for the dots.

Green, yellow and dotty

More Dots! I try to combine them with matching clothes :) here is bombay yellow from gosh and entourage from china glaze.

I used spagetti as my dotting tool ;-)

Pink and Yellow

Here a little more close up, and really bad quality....

This time I used a neon pink from Depend, and bright yellow from Isadora and decorated with dots :-)

I have fallen in love with decorating with dots ;-) It's so easy!

Purple and easy!

This time without any decoration. I felt the holo-effect was enough :-)
