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

Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter Z for... Zircon!

Image source: http://www.gia.edu/zircon-quality-factor

 The last week ... and letter... of our alphabet challenge has (finally?) arrived. It's been a nice challenge but I'm not sure I will participate in such a long one ever again.

The letter Z was a difficult one for me because the only word that came to my mind was "Zircon" and it got stuck in my head since the beginning of the collaboration. Even though my friends suggested other words like "zoo", "zebra", "zeppelin" or "zombie", I still stuck to my original idea.

Golden mauve

Hello fellow nail art lovers! ^_^


I'm finally done with all the exams and I have some time to relax and paint my nails. (Yay!)
A few days ago the co-owner of the blog's Facebook page, Laula, came over for a little chit-chat and we ended up painting our nails (obviously :P). I had recently acquired some new nail polishes - you can see them at the end of the post - and even though I was curious to try them, I had another manicure idea in my mind...

Am terminat in sfarsit cu examenele si acum am putin timp pentru relaxare si pentru a-mi picta unghiile. (Yay!)
Acum cateva zile, co-detinatoarea paginii de Facebook a blogului, Laula, a venit in vizita la mine sa stam la povesti si in final am ajuns sa ne vopsim unghiutele (evident :P). Am achizitionat de curand cateva lacuri de unghii noi - le puteti vedea la finalul postarii - si, desi eram curioasa sa le incerc, aveam in minte o alta idee de manichiura...

T.P.A Group Challenge: 14. Vintage nails

Hey everyone!
I'm back with a new post! :D
I missed last week's challenge (T.P.A Group Challenge: 13. Inspired by cupcakes) because I had a busy week and I already had cupcakes on my nails for my birthday, but, this week, I did my manicure on time and I can show you my interpretation of "vintage nails".

Buna tuturor!
M-am intors cu o postare noua! :D
Am ratat provocarea de saptamana trecuta (T.P.A Group Challenge: 13. Inspired by cupcakes) deoarece am avut o saptamana aglomerata si avusesem deja prajiturele pe unghii de ziua mea, dar, in aceasta saptamana, mi-am facut din timp manichiura si va pot arata interpretarea mea pentru "unghii vintage".
