Last post for this year and I'm really happy with how my nails turned out. It's not the first time I've tried painting fireworks but I believe this time they really came out great.

Saturday's Theme - Christmas is coming
Hello, nail art lovers!
Christmas is just around the corner and I hope you were nice enough to get presents from Santa Clause. I decided that the nails I'll do for Christmas will be little presents under a tree, so my nails are inspired by wrapping paper and the lovely pine-smelling tree in our house.

Saturday's Theme - Winter Wonderland
Hello, nail art lovers!
Today's theme was one of my favorites, however, I did not have enough time to paint my nails the way I wanted so I opted for a simple manicure with a stamped design.

Saturday's Theme - Christmas Candy
Hello, nail art lovers!
Christmas is right around the corner so, this week, we decided to sweeten our nails a bit, while waiting for it.
As I noticed, mist of the girls chose the stamping technique to show off the sweet treats, but I decided to go even further and used the sugar spun technique :) sugar... sweets... get it, get it? :D

Saturday's Theme - Snowflakes
Hello, nail art lovers!
Today's theme is... not in tone with the weather, unfortunately. Even though the Christmas spirit can be felt around us, snow has yet to come and, instead, it rained all day here.
However, maybe we can jinx the weather if our nails reflect what or hearts want, so, for today's challenge, we have... snowflakes!!!

Saturday's Theme - Radial Gradient
Hello, nail art lovers!
A simple manicure from me? I guess you did not expect that!
Thing is, I liked how my nails turned out so much that I didn't want to paint anything else over them. The technique is called "radial gradient" and it's really easy to do.

Saturday's Theme - Feathers
Hello, nail art lovers!
A new weekend, a new theme!
Even though, today's theme is somewhat of a sequel for last week's theme, I had fun thinking of something creative to paint on my nails. I chose to paint a peacock feather because I've never had one of these on my nail before. ^_^

Saturday's Theme - Owls
Hello, nail art lovers!
This week the blogosphere was invaded by some of the loveliest birds that exist - owls. They came in all shapes and sizes, from wise ones to silly ones but all equally adorable.
I decided to combine the theme with another topic that I like a lot, the fascinating world of Harry Potter. I chose to represent Hedwig on my nails, along with the Gryffindor colors an the scar that made Harry famous.

Saturday's Theme - Gothic
Hello, nail art lovers!
I had so many ideas for today's theme, all of them involving the colors mostly associated with Goths - red and black. I looked up some patterns associated with the theme but decided to switch colors and chose the only "other color that goths like: light black... otherwise known as... gray" (quote from Aurelio Voltaire). I still used black for the accent nail and for the embellishments.

Saturday's Theme - Halloween
Hello, nail art lovers!
It's almost Halloween time! I've already started my countdown till I get to dress up and have fun, but first I need to show you what nails I've been showing off for the last week. I got a looot of compliments on them so I'm guessing more and more people are becoming interested in Halloween!

Saturday's Theme - Skulls
Hello, nail art lovers!
Are you ready for Holo-ween? :D (Yes, I totally stole that from Simply Nailogical)
My nail are starting to look more and more spooky, but thy year, they're with a twist. I decided to put some shiny glitter in all my Halloween manicures! Glamorous Halloween is a thing, right?
Anyway, for today's theme I used one of my newest nail polishes... and it's holographic AF! Look for yourself:

Halloween is right around the corner and our themes are ready to give you suggestions on how to do your nails for that special evening. This week the blogosphere is filled with bright orange nails and spooky pumpkins. Here is my interpretation of the theme:

Saturday's Theme - Autumn Colors
Hello, nail art lovers! :)
This week I want to show you a manicure that is simple, yet dazzling at the same time! I wore it to a wedding last week and all this week to work and I got many compliments on it.

Saturday's Theme - Think Pink
Hello, nail art lovers!
This week's challenge was to "think pink" and the first thing that came to my mind regarding what to use for this manicure was my cute stamping plate with cats and dogs.
Here's the result:

Saturday's Theme - Coral
Hello, nail art lovers!
When you will be reading this post, I will be on vacation!
Scratch that... I forgot to schedule the post so it's a week late... sorry girls!
I was on vacation an just got back so this weekend I'll treat you to two manicures. ^_^
My nails are inspired by the idea of traveling but I also managed to make them fit with the theme by choosing a coral nail polish for the non-accent nails. I hope you like my manicure:

Saturday's Theme - Mermaid
Hello, nail art lovers!
I'm going to start by saying that this manicure is one of my favorites... ever!
I did bend the theme a bit, my nails are what I would see a mermaid wearing, not the scales and fishtails and so on, but the result is really really nice, in my opinion.

Saturday's Theme - Jungle
Hello, nail art lovers!
This week I want to show you a manicure that took very little time to do, but was really hard to photograph. I'm still not completely pleased with the pictures, but I can assure you that my nails look a lot better in real life. ^_^

Saturday's Theme - Hawaiian
Aloha, nail art lovers! ^_^
I believe you've already figured out what this week's challenge is, haha. Pretty predictable, but very fun to paint, as I've taken my best sponge out and did another gradient for this manicure.

Saturday's Theme - Birds
Hello, nail art lovers!
I have to admit that this week's theme was a bit difficult for me as I'm not a big fan of birds. However, I did recall a bird I'm pretty fond of, the Phoenix. I searched for some pictures, bit the bird is so big an majestic that my short nails wouldn't have done it justice so I decided to paint two feathers instead.

Saturday's Theme - Aztec
Hello, nail art lovers!
Today's manicure is one that I had to redo about... 5 times? before I was satisfied with the result. At first, the color combo was not right, then the pattern and so on. I finally managed to find my inspiration and do something cute, last night. The design is pretty simple, but the color combo looks nice in my opinion.

Cats In Space - International Cat Day
Hello, nail art lovers! Happy International Cat Day!
I've had this manicure saved on my laptop for a while, but I thought this would be the perfect occasion to present it on the blog. It's inspired by an actual artist's work (Bronwyn Schuster) and you can read more about the cool paintings here.

Saturday's Theme - Palm Trees
Hello, nail art lovers!
Today's theme has finally got me to try a new technique and I'm pretty pleased with the result. Since the theme itself is pretty boring/straight-forward, I thought I should play with colors and ideas, instead.
Here is the result:

Saturday's Theme - Places you'd love to visit
Hello, nail art lovers!
This week I'm taking you all on a trip to Egypt, through my nails! Since the theme required us to think of a place we'd love to visit, I thought about the place I'd really love to go back to, Egypt. I've been there for two weeks a few years ago, but there's still so much to see and learn! I was inspired by this lovely nail artist, but I gave the manicure my own twist.

Saturday's Theme - Ice Cream
Hello, nail art lovers!
This week's theme was awesome! But my pictures did not turn out so well, even though I'm pretty proud of how my nails looked. Ice Cream has been a theme that we had last year, as well, and my manicure was featured at an ice cream themed party. I was so happy!

Saturday's Theme - Splatter
Hello, nail art lovers! :)
Today's theme is a really fun one, but... rather messy, I might say. Splatter nails look really cool but the effect is kinda hard to achieve.

Saturday's Theme - Holo
Hello, nail art lovers! ^_^
This week's theme is really fun and I couldn't wait to do my nails. I even bought some awesome holographic nail polishes and nail foil, however, my camera could not do them justice.
Here are my holographic nails, that look quite simple, unfortunately:

Saturday's Theme - Beach
Hello, nail art lovers!
I really miss going to the beach and this week's manicure just intensified my feelings. I miss feeling the sand on my soles, the breeze in my hair and the water all around me, and I tried to give you a glimpse of how beautiful the sea is, by painting it on my nails.

Saturday's Theme - Fruit
Hello, nail art lovers!
This week's theme is fruity and... sweet! I've had previous manicures inspired by fruit so this time I decided to change it up a bit. I present to you, my Piña Colada inspired nails!

Saturday's Theme - Unicorn
Hello, nail art lovers!
I was reeeeally looking forward to this week's theme, as I knew my manicure would turn out super pretty! :D And I am, indeed, very proud of the result!
This is the first time I painted a unicorn on my nails, as well as the first time I used nail foil from Born Pretty Store (#18, you can find it here) and I absolutely loved the result!

Saturday's Theme - Purple
Hello, nail art lovers!
To prepare you for next week's theme - I'm super excited about it - I decided to go with a manicure that isn't as simple as the theme would indicate. I used purple... mixed with blue and silver mermaid tail scales! :D

Saturday’s Theme – First Day of Summer
Hello, nail art lovers!
Today's theme wasn't as challenging as others and we had the liberty of choosing what we do on our nails, so I went for a recreation of something I had found on Pinterest not long ago, which you can see here - done by @serkova_nail.

Saturday's Theme - Emoticons
Hello, nail art lovers!
Smiiileee!!! Or just use an emoticon to do it :)
This week's theme is a very fun one and I had a lot of fun painting my nails. It's not a complicated manicure, however, I enjoyed it a lot.

Saturday's Theme - Antique
Hello, nail art lovers!
This week's theme was one I was really looking forward to, however, my nails did not turn up as I would have liked them too. Luckily, the manicure was still wearable in the end.

Saturday's Theme - Dots
Hello, nail art lovers!
This week's theme is very... dotty! Spots, dots, bubbles... everywhere! :D
It sounds like a pretty fun idea so I went with some colors that kinda remind me of clowns: red, silver and black.

Saturday's Theme - Sunset
Hello, nail art lovers!
This week's theme is a pretty complex one, in my opinion so I stalled a bit before coming up with an idea for nails inspired by sunset. I ended up doing something tropical because inspiration had left me by the time I had my "canvas" ready.

Saturday's Theme - Cities
Hello, nail art lovers! :)
I could not wait to show you my manicure for this week! I loved it so much that I wore it for over a week. It's very bright and colorful and inspired by one of my favorite cities - Barcelona, to be more exact, Gaudi's art in Guell Park.

Saturday's Theme - Easter
Hello, nail art lovers! Happy Easter!
This week's theme is pretty self-explanatory so I won't go into much detail.
I chose a happy "pattern" that makes my nails pop out.

Saturday's Theme - Butterflies
Hello, nail art lovers! ^_^
Are you getting used to the warm weather? Do the pretty flowers and cute insects that pop up everywhere make you happy and allow you to see things in a brighter and more colorful way? It works for me so I decided to make my manicure just as bright and colorful.

Saturday's Theme - Green
Hello, nail art lovers!
I've had green nail before... even at the beginning of the year, since it's the color of the year, yet this time I took a different approach - pastel green. I don't usually wear pastels, but the colors looked so pretty together that I just had to create this manicure.

Saturday's Theme - Mosaic Nails
Hello, nail art lovers!
Today's theme is one of my favorites, since I could allow my creativity to flow, again! :D
Since there's this Beauty and the Beast craze going on, I wanted my mosaic to be inspired by the lovely animation, one of my favorite Disney movies since I was a child.
As you can probably tell, the rose symbol on stained glass was my inspiration for today!

Saturday's Theme - Cherry Blossoms
Hello again, nail art lovers!
Spring is in the air and there are pretty flowers everywhere! Wow, look at me making a rhyme...
As you might know, I'm not a big fan of spring and flowers, however, I do like the color pink. The flowers we had to paint today, cherry blossoms, vary from white to fuchsia, so I managed to play a bit with these colors. Here's what I came out with:

Saturday's Theme - Clothes Inspired
Hello, nail art lovers!
This week we were inspired by beautiful dresses, cute blouses and other nice pieces of clothing to create unique manicures. As my clothes are mostly black, I decided to look up a dress online. Here's what I found:
And here are my nails!

Saturday's Theme - Spring is here!
Hello, nail art lovers!
Spring is here, a bit too soon in my opinion. I was starting to enjoy the semi-cold weather and I had just received a very cute new scarf. Oh well...
Since I was super busy this week, but I promised I would not be late with my posts, again, I had to make a quick manicure last night so I went with a green gradient. I've used green so much lately, no wonder it's the color of the year!
