Here I used BP-44:

Shiny textured holiday nails

Hello everyone!

Today's manicure is inspired by the movie "Frozen" and includes a short review of one of the new Avon nail polish collections, called "Stardust". The shade I have is called "Teal Glitter" and, in my opinion, resembles Elsa's dress's color. :D 

Anyway, I used this nail polish in a combination with one of my new favorites - Astor VIP Silver - and created a design on one of the nails, using nail art tape.

Christmas - Sweater nails ^_^ (mini tutorial)

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Today I will show you the manicure I am wearing this Christmas and a mini tutorial for it. :D

The design is pretty common (you can find it on most X-mas themed sweaters) but I've been wanting to try it for a very long time and had a little free time now. ^_^

I used a metallic Ciate nail polish that looked golden on my nails but silver in the bottle and in the pictures (weird) and my favorite red, textured, nail polish from Essence (bottle's nearly empty).

The result came out pretty nice so I decided to make a tutorial for it as well, in case anyone would like to try it and doesn't find enough inspiration on Google... :P

Blue french

I'm pretty sure this year's color, in my case, was blue. :))) I used shades of blue in so many combinations! You can find some of them here, here and here. 

Back to the topic now... blue french... I've had this manicure in my mind for so long!!! But my nails were always too short. Last week I said I would give it a try and.. voila! ^_^

Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter Q for... Quarter

Hey everyone!

This week's post is about a manicure I really like ( I mean really, really like and I'm incredibly proud of it) and I'v been pretty anxious to show you, even though my post is late. ^_^

My inspiration for this week was the word "quarter" and I thought a bit outside the box when doing my nails. I hope you'll like what turned out!

Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter M for... mermaid!

“I think every little girl's dream is to be a mermaid or to see a mermaid. [When I was younger] I would go to the beach and cover myself in the sand. People from different cultures and centuries have the same idea of what mermaids are ... so that's maybe a cool thing to think about.”
― Emma Roberts

If you haven't figured it out yet (or read the title :P ) today's nail art was inspired by mermaids. One of my favorite cartoons as a child - and now - was (is) The Little Mermaid. I've watched it many times and kinda know a few of the songs by heart so a manicure inspired by it has been on my mind for quite a while.

My first thought for the letter M was "map" which turned into "marshmallow" and materialized as "mermaid" on my nails, in the end. (Yes, I do change my mind pretty often).

Chic pink - stickers!

Hello! :D

One more week and I can be back here on a regular basis and show you more manicures! I have a lot of ideas! Yay! :D
I still have a few exams to take but I couldn't miss out on Valentine's week ( It's not just a day anymore - some beauty bloggers began posting manicures for V-day in January and all the stores are decorated with hearts and lovey-dovey things since the beginning of February). ^_^

Inca o saptamana si pot reveni la programul obisnuit si sa va arat mai multe manichiuri! Am foarte multe idei! Yay! :D
Mai am cateva examene, dar nu puteam rata sapamana de Valentine's (nu mai e doar o zi - cateva bloggerite s-au apucat de manichiuri pe aceasta tema inca din ianurie, iar magazinele sunt decorate cu inimioare si alte chestiute pe aceasi tema inca de la inceputul lunii februarie). ^_^

Snowy days...

I love snow! I love it's texture, the way it melts on my hands, the sensation I have when I see it... Everything! I don't even mind if it's freezing outside if there is snow there as well!

Winter is my favorite season due to it so I decided to add it on my nails, as a "juju spell" (not really but hey, if it works I'm happy ^_^ ) to bring snow to the city (take that snow haters! >:P ).

Iubesc zapada! Iubesc textura ei, felul in care se topeste in mainile mele, senzatia pe care o am cand o vad... Totul! nu ma deranjeaza nici cel mai aprig ger daca este si zapada afara!

Iarna este sezonul meu preferat datorita ei, asa ca am decis sa o adaug pe unghiutele mele, ca un fel de "vraja juju" (poate nu chiar ca asta, dar daca functioneaza, sunt fericita ^_^ ) sa aduca zapada in oraselul meu ( in ciuda celor care detesta zapada! >:P ).

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 )

Starry Summer Nights (Justy Cosmetics Glitter Review)

Hello! ^_^

Today I'm going to show you two of the glitter nail polishes that I bought during my trip to Spain. The name of the brand is "Justy Cosmetics" (I haven't seen any nail polishes from this brand in Romania) and I think their popularity there is similar to the Golden Rose, Rapsodi and Gabrini brands that we find here. Their price range is between 1-3 euros, from what I've seen.

Buna! ^_^

Astazi am sa va arat doua dintre lacurile de unghii cu sclipici, pe care le-am cumparat in timpul excursiei mele in Spania. Numele firmei este "Justy Cosmetics" (nu am vazut lacuri de unghii cu acesta denumire in Romania) si cred ca acolo se bucura de acceasi popularitate precum Golden Rose, Rapsodi si Gabrini la noi. Din cate am vazut, pretul lor variaza intre 1-3 euro.
