Creative Nails Collab - Rainbow

Hello nail art lovers,

Spring has finally reached us, however it's as hot as mild summer... I was hoping for more "lukewarm" days so I could just lay around in the shade with a good book, however the weather did not allow me to indulge in my dream.

My nails should reflect my mood better though, so here is a rainbow of emotions presented as dots on the tiny white canvases:

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 11. Sea Shells

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the late post! I've recently moved out (last Saturday) and I'm attempting to become a grown-up *giggles* so I didn't have time to make this post or to do my nails... I don't have a stable internet connection so my posts may be delayed. Again, I'm sorry!

Last week's theme was Iulia's idea and, as you can see from the title, it's related to sea shells. I love sea shells and I had a cool idea on my mind, but packing and unpacking did not give me much free time to get creative. This is what I came up with:

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 1. Favorite Nail Polish

Hello!

This week is a special week because we decided, together with the girls from the Polish Addicts group, to start a new collaboration, entitled "Nail Art Marathon 2015". :D
Why is it called this way? Well, without wanting to spoil it for you, I'm going to tell you that it will last till the end of the year. Yes, that's right, the last post will be on the last Saturday of December 2015. ^_^

Each of us (17 bloggers) came up with two ideas - one for a theme and one for technique - which will be posted separately in two consecutive weeks. Here is a banner with all the themes, in case you are curious:

This week we have one of Andra Kat's ideas, namely "Favorite Nail Polish". It was really hard for me to choose only one, so selected two polishes from two brands that I fancy - China Glaze  and O.P.I. and two types of nail polish - regular (shimmery) and textured. Of course, the colors are two of my favorites, as well. ^_^

Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter R for... rain!

"Rain, rain,
go away.
Come again another day."

No, not really... I like rain. Actually, I love rain!
I feel happy when it rains and I really enjoy going out in the rain, as long as I don't have to use an umbrella. Now don't get me wrong, I like colorful umbrellas, and I know how useful they are, but... I hate using them. :/

Anyway, as you've probably noticed, today's post is about a manicure inspired by rain. After my darling (:*) suggested the theme I started thinking of how I could create something special on my nails, to emphasize how awesome rain really is. This is the result:

Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter N for... Nemo! :D

Image source: Google

This is going to be a short post because I'm a bit late (had to post it on Saturday but I got distracted). The idea of painting something inspired by Nemo on my nails only came to me yesterday while talking to a special person (you know who you are :*) and after my previous manicure turned out to be a huge fail.

Nails in Chains

Hello! :D
Today I went to a Nail Art Salon to talk to a real nail art technician about a course I'd like to attend. I didn't want to go there with chipped nail polish on my nails so I stayed up late last night and came up with this manicure! ^_^
(Honestly, waiting for the polish to dry took longer than the whole process :P )

Buna! :D
Azi am mers la un salon de manichiura sa vorbesc cu o profesionista in ceea ce priveste tehnicile de Nail Art in legatura cu un curs pe care as vrea sa-l urmez. N-am vrut sa ma prezint cu lacul de unghii ciobit pe ici, pe colo asa ca am stat treaza pana tarziu, noaptea trecuta, si mi-am facut aceasta manichiura! ^_^
(Sincer, a durat mai mult sa se usuce lacul decat sa pregatesc restul manichiurii :P )

The Polishes Challenge: 13. In season (De sezon)

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been more active but I've been busy packing, cause today I'm going on vacation! ^_^
This will be another short post. The theme is "In season" so I chose the color blue and the untried polish "Gabrini Elegant 371" which you can see here. On my nails I have a blue gradient which includes: Flormar 437, Avon Serene, Moyra 68 (glitter) and O.P.I. Get your number.

Buna tuturor! N-am fost prea activa in ultima vreme deoarece am fost ocupata cu impachetatul/facutul bagajelor, caci, azi, plec in vacanta! ^_^
Aceasta va fi o postare scurta. Tema este "De sezon" asa ca am ales culoarea albastra si oja mea neincercata "Gabrini Elegant 371", pe care o puteti vedea, simpla, aici. Pe unghiile mele am un gradient albastru care include: Flormar 437, Avon Serene, Moyra 68 (glitter) si O.P.I. Get your number.

The Polishes Challenge: 10. Most Expensive

Hello! It's Wednesday again! ^_^

This week I have the pleasure of showing you my most expensive untried nail polish: Sephora Full Moon Praty (62), a beautiful shade of blue (I call it "mermaid blue"), which I combined with my most expensive already tried polish: O.P.I. Get your number.

I love both nail polishes and I think they look very nice together. Here are my nails, tell me what you think! :D

Inspired by a T-shirt - Cats!

Hello nail art lovers!
This week has been a busy one for me - two collabs and a manicure inspired by a t-shirt (I'm strating to get into vaction mode *giggles* ).

I received this t-shirt last week, from my best friend since high-school and I absolutely love it! All of my friends know that I'm a cat person (some say that I've quite a bit of an obsession with cats) and this t-shirt got into my top 10 favorite clothes with the speed of a Formula 1 race car. :P

And now, I'll show you my nails...

Top 20 Nail Polish Favorites! (collaboration)

Hello fellow nail art lovers! Today I'm going to show you my top 20 nail polishes at this time. As some of you already know, I organized my stash last week and I counted 70+ nail polishes in my collection (you can see almost all of them here ). ^_^

The idea of showing you the top 20 nail polishes doesn't belong to me - a fellow nail polish addict, Georgia , came up with it, but me and some other bloggers embraced it with joy.

I can't say that this wasn't a challenge for me, even though I don't have as many nail lacquers as other nail art bloggers, but I tried to choose my favorite ones based on how much I use them and how they look on my nails. They are in a random order on my palette and will be presented by brands. ^_^

Ok, so that's my Top 20 palette. Now, for the nail polishes...

My first O.P.I. nail lacquers/Under the sea manicure

Ok, so, I got a bit lazy and forgot to post on the blog. This manicure is two weeks old, from when I bought my first O.P.I. nail lacquers and it is also an entry for the Tip Top contest I've been talking about lately...

The theme was "nature" and I decided to go with something simple and bright which would still let the O.P.I. nail polish stand out. Here is what I came up with:

And these are my very first three O.P.I. nail lacquers:

1. Nothin' Moussie 'Bout It

2. Liquid Sand - Get Your Number

3. I Have A Herring Problem
