Creative Nails Collab - Sun in my hair

Hi nail art lovers,

It's been a while since I've last posted but I felt I needed a break from the blog.
I did, however, do my nails and I have all the manicures for July ready to be posted so.. watch this space...

The first manicure I'd like to show you is the one for the "Sun in my hair" theme. I chose a simple manicure with a cute design, inspired by this image:

And here are my nails:

Creative Nails Collab - Pantone Colors

Hello, nail art lovers!

As you all know, every December, Pantone picks a "color of the year" that will be exploited in fashion and makeup trends. This year was no exception and the color they chose is Ultraviolet.

I'm not a big fan of purple, but I do like some shades of it. I didn't go out of my way looking for this color in stores, in order to have a perfect manicure. I did however do some swatches of the purples I had and came up with this manicure:

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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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.

December's nails challenge - Christmasy

Hello, nail art lovers and Merry Christmas!

As you've probably guessed, in today's post I will show you what I am wearing this weekend, which is, of course, X-Mas themes, as well. :D

Lately, I've been pretty keen on glitter and I've added it to most of my manicures. Today's won't be very different, as I've found two new polishes, that I've fallen in love with, in my Advent Calendar.

March's Nails Challenge - Flakies

Another week, another challenge!

This week, the last weekend of March, I am going to show you a manicure that's very simple but elegant, in my opinion. It didn't require much effort, just a bit if patience.

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 27.Jelly Sandwich

Hello, hello!

A new week, a new post and another manicure which I hope you will like! :D

This time, Kinga thought that we should try using the jelly sandwich technique on our nails and we all obeyed with no hesitation. :D

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 18. Saran Wrap

Another week, another theme! This time we have another one of Iulia B.'s ideas - saran wrap. 

I have tried this technique before, and, you can actually find a tutorial posted by Laula on our Facebook page. 

What I like most about saran wrap is that you can get unique designs every time, even form one nail to the other and you can create both funky and elegant manicures. Mine is a bit of both, and you'll see why if you look down. ^_^

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 - 3. Glitter placement

Hey there!

This week we have another challenge from Vanyna - glitter placement! :D
I really like the idea of playing with glitter, but I don't have a lot of inspiration these days, so I went with something simple, matte and glittery at the same time. ^_^

I did spice it up with a few studs from Born Pretty Store, and I think it looks pretty good, in the end.

Nail Team Challenege - Negative Space Nails

This week out challenge continues with another untried type of nail art in my case - negative space. I was never a fan of this type of nail art but I'm glad that Madalina  "made" me try it. I kinda like the girly result! :D

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

Pastel winter

Hey everyone!!!! 

First of all, I'm sorry for my absence but my schedule was pretty busy these two weeks and I wore the same nails for a very long time (I'm surprised they didn't chip at all). 

Second, today I will show you a manicure that I love and will probably recreate sooner or later. Even my mom, who usually disapproves of my nail art, thought they look pretty and asked me to recreate it on her nails... twice! *shocking*

Anyway...... Ta-dah! My nails! :D

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".

Disney Nails - Alice in Wonderland

Hello! ^_^

Today I will show you a manicure with which I entered a contest organized by a talented Romanian blogger (here is her blog: http://allesandra24.blogspot.ro/), for her second year blog anniversary. The theme was "Disney" and I just had to take the challenge! :P
