inspired by bugatti

Again... I have done this design before. About one and a half year ago :-) this is also my first blogpost in forever. About time! :-)

Norway national day

Inspired by the norwegian flag on our national day :-) I did it this way because I didn't have time to do the entire flag. And I think I like the way it came out better than the flag probably would end up :-)

I used Sally Hansen Diamonds and Rubies, and Rio nail art in white and blue.

A couple of our national costumes:

The childrens parade in Oslo:

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 :-)

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 :-)

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

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 :-)

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!!)

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.

Trumpet nails...

My nails today are dedicatet to all trumpet players on a beginner-level ;-)
First of all I did the scittles colors as a fun background, and on the three middle fingers, I wrote 1-2-3 (same as you would write in your music to help yourself push down the right buttons..)

I think this design could revolutionize trumpet teaching :-p

Ok, maybe not, but it was a fun mani to have on a trumpet gig!

I used HM colors on all fingers exept my thumb, who has china glaze, Entourage.

Then i dotted on the numbers with a charcoal from maybelline :-)

Turqoise shiny nails!

Today I will show you a new polish. I found some Allessandro polishes in a local perfume shop. I have only seen french manicure sets from thm earlier, so I was very happy to see this!

I only picked out this color, but I might come back for more! This was the greenest I found, but they had a nice blue as well (more blue than this ;-) )

Alessandro #216 (This picture is tweked and matches bottle color better :-) )

Inspired by art!

Inspired by what painter? ;-)

I used my HM enchantress Emma and decorated it with lines of black, orange and purple :-)

Finally back to painting nails instead of complaining about the gel stuff ;-)

Going bananas!

Yes, Today my plan was a crazy french with a penguin on my ring finger.. the french was even weirder than planned, and the penguin was so much fun to do, that I decided to draw on all my nails. But then I (of course) ran out of time, and I just did my left hand with different colors :-)

I don't really like an Orange french, but at least now I know for shure :-)

Finger-details:
(The penguin has a fish on his right side ;-D)

Inspired by nature

This is the picture I used as my inspiration:


And this is the result: (in dreadful lighting..)


First I did the grass and clouds on all nails, then I realized The grass should ofcourse be a funky french! With pink flowers :-)

Dark blue with a golden corner

Today I tried out one of my two new L'oreal polishes, #700 Navy velvet, a dark blue shimmer! Until I started polishing my nails, I considered myself a non dark-blue-wearing person, but when the blue is so shimmery and beautiful, I'll definitly wear it :-) 

I decided to decorate the blue with some golden stripes, coming from on corner. I used my H&M gold and a self made striper brush :-)

And this is the bottle:

Blue thursday

But first.. The purple I had on yesterday only lasted a few hours.. The whole thing came off my index finger, so I bet my basecoat and main color didn't go along..

Anyway, I'm planning a shopping frenzy at Head2toe, so I can get some real nailpolsh that actually stays on my nails!

Today, I'm wearing blue, and I found two of a "real brand" and I hope it will stay the day :-p

Nivea mini color: #57 Blue sparkle

H&M: Enchantress Emma

More colorful summer nails

I tried to make nails with fire by using a yellow base color and blending in orange and gold.. I was not very sucsessfull..

Actually it looks much better on the photo than in real life... I even tried to save it with gold shimmer on top.. No help!

So my next idea was much easyer! A simple blue base with pink sprinkles! (It goes with my summer dress) How I got my sprinkles, you can see in my next post.. I went a little shopping-crazy down here!

On my blue and pink nails I used these products:

Summer Nails

I decided to do this blog in English, so that more people might actually read it.

The first posts will be translated and rewritten. But it might take some days.

At the present, I am on the Azores, on holiday! The weather here is warm and nice, and therefore I wanted to have summery nails!  Both these designs have been created with Base coat: Diamond strenght from Sally Hansen, and then a base color and a dot of decoration color on top while the base color is still wet. Then I mix them together with a tooth pic. 

Inspired from this vid:

The yellow design I first did with a new polish I found on the azores, but it was impossible to put on... I will try to make it thinner when I get back and see if it gets better!

Here are the first two summer designs! (I also have nail stamps on top)
