Saturday's Theme - Flowers you love

Hello, nail art lovers!

I kinda missed a week but today I have two posts for you!

The firs one, entitled "Flowers you love" was a theme I wanted to get creative with. I'm not a big fan of flowers but I do like plants so I decided to cheat a bit. 

I found a comic online about a very cute cactus and decided I had to have it on my nails. And voila!

And the comic that inspired me:

Fairy on a branch

A post that's not on Saturday?! OMG! :))
Yes, shocking, isn't it?

The reason behind this post is that I decided to participate in a nail art contest held by Bombchelenails on Instagram. The contest's theme is "Enchanted" and all we had to do is paint something (freehand) which would represent it: fairy-tales, dragons, magic etc., on our nails. ^_^

Since I love anything that has to do with magic and fairies and fantasy, I couldn't skip this contest, so here are my nails:

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 14. Velvet Nails

"OMG! Sooo fuzzy!" was the reaction of my friends when I met them, wearing velvet nails. :P

The theme was chosen by me and, at that time I was thinking I could do a cute design using velvet powder on my super long nails. Well, bummer. Since my nails broke, I had to come up with another idea and I played with colors instead of shapes.

Nail Team Challenge - Water Decals

Iiiiiiiit's Saturdaaaaaay!!! :D

Time for a new blog post! ^_^
I keep telling myself that I should post more often but I just don't seem to find the time for this right now so I keep postponing. Anyway, I'm lucky that the other lovely nail art bloggers keep creating challenges with fun themes that I can join and that way I get to do my nails at least once a week. Yay! :P

Enough chit-chat, I should start talking about today's challenge, which was Deyutza's idea - Water decals!I rarely use this type of stickers/tattoos because I like painting freehand, but I did have some super cute water decals from a nail art contest I won and I really wanted to use them this spring. ^_^

Monsters ^_^

Hello! This week I went for a childish look for my left hand and a simple one for my right one. Duality is something that characterizes me when it comes to Nail Art. :D

I decided to use some nail accessories as well, since I didn't get the occasion lately in Tip Top's contest. 

Here is what I ended up with, enjoy! ^_^

Oh, oh & I made a better tutorial this time... *blushes*

Colors! Colors everywhere!!!

The weather is pretty dull, foggy and all that so I decided that my nails should bring up some colors and happiness all around. Here they are! ^_^

What I used:
- Miss Sporty - 455 Clubbing
- Maybeline - Mini Colorama 52 Dark Plum
- S-he Style Zone - 115 White
- Avon - Speed Dry + Orange, Nailware Pro + Baby Pink
- Flormar - 437 Spring & Summer
- Moyra - 605 - Pastel Shades
- Rimmel - Lasting Finish 055 Sunshine, 60 seconds 740 clear

Happy New Year!

Winter Wonderland

 This manicure was/is related to the first snow in Cluj this winter. I was so happy that I had to celebrate it somehow... Here is the result! ^_^

Spots & dots

I wanted to try this Splatter Nails Tutorial but I gave up because I do not own any acrylic nail polish, so I invented my own technique. I used a toothbrush and I just pressed it really quickly onto my nails, after applying regular nail polish on it... I used a white base and "all the colors of the rainbow".

I  bought a few bright neon colors last week and I wanted to try them, so I thought this would be a fun and interesting way to see how they look together. 

I think they turned out really nice and they add a touch of happiness to the last days of summer... 

Happy Flowery Nails

Okay, so, for my first post I chose the manicure I am currently wearing, inspired by the fact that I finished my exams and I am finally in vacation... ^_^ Freedom!!!

I was really happy so I chose two colors and a flowery pattern ( easily made with a small stick or one of those special manicure things with round edges). I don't like my nails to be all alike so I draw freely instead of using stamps or stickers.

The Nail Polish I used was "Mini Colorama" from Maybeline - Party Blue and a combination between Dark Plum and French White ( I did not have light purple).

For the purple flowers I used the same brand - Dark plum, for the pink flowers I combined French White with Ultra Violet, for the white ones I used French White. For the dark blue ones I used Azure from Rimmel. :)

Top coat: Express Manicure from Maybeline.

The flowers are quite easy to make - just make four small dots like a clover and one more in the center. You can make more petals if you want, but I thought they looked cuter like this... ^_^ 


Also, I enjoy having a contrast between my nails so you will rarely see the same pattern on both my hands. It's a little random thing that defines my personality, I guess...


Anyway, I hope you like it and I'm sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, but until I get someone with a good camera to take pictures of my nails, my phone will have to do the job... *blushes*

I have a stack of photos  with other manicures  so there's more to come... 

Bye bye! ^_^
