Creative Nails Collab - Black Parade

Hi nail art lovers,

"When I was a young boy

My father took me into the city

To see a marching band

He said, son, when you grow up

Would you be the savior of the broken

The beaten, and the damned?

He said, will you defeat them

Your demons and all the non-believers?"

Welcome to the Black Parade - MCR

One of my favorite bands, growing up, was My Chemical Romance, the band that also inspired the title of this week's collab and my manicure.

Creative Nails Collab - Elements: Wind

Hello nail art lovers,

Today we continue with the elements series and we will show you depictions of one of the most mysterious elements - Wind. This was the hardest element to paint as you cannot draw it perfectly, there is no palpable symbol for it.

Saturday's Theme - Gothic

Hello, nail art lovers!

I had so many ideas for today's theme, all of them involving the colors mostly associated with Goths - red and black. I looked up some patterns associated with the theme but decided to switch colors and chose the only "other color that goths like: light black... otherwise known as... gray" (quote from Aurelio Voltaire). I still used black for the accent nail and for the embellishments.

Saturday's Theme - Skulls

Hello, nail art lovers!

Are you ready for Holo-ween? :D (Yes, I totally stole that from Simply Nailogical)

My nail are starting to look more and more spooky, but thy year, they're with a twist. I decided to put some shiny glitter in all my Halloween manicures! Glamorous Halloween is a thing, right?

Anyway, for today's theme I used one of my newest nail polishes... and it's holographic AF! Look for yourself:

September’s Nails Challenge - Triangles

Hello, nail art lovers!

Today's manicure was inspired by two things: the phases of the moon and my favorite band, 30 Seconds to Mars.

Since the theme was "triangles", I chose to go with a black to white gradient, that looked similar to one of the phases of the moon and the band's logo - a triangle split at the middle.

Nail Team Challenge - French manicure

Hello everyone! :D

This week me and the "Nail Team" continue our journey through different challenges, stopping at the one called "French manicure", Andreea's idea. 

Personally, I consider this type of manicure very elegant and since my nail art is pretty crazy most of the time, it doesn't appear too often on my nails. However, I want to participate in every challenge so I said I'd give it a go. ^_^ 

I really wanted to do a classic french, but, guess what? One of my nails broke so I shortened all of them. A classic french would have looked really weird on my short nails so I did a reinterpretation. Check it out!

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:

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!

The Polishes Challenge: 1. One color

Hello! ^_^

I decided to join a polish challenge along with a few Romanian bloggers that I follow and admire. The challenge was Jonochi of Just Add Polish's idea and you can find more details about it here.

This week's challenge was to use only one color.
If you've browsed my blog before, you probably noticed that I rarely use the same color on all of my nails (almost never) and even less often my nails are painted in only one color (never until now). So, this challenge was really... a challenge for me!
I had to pick one color so I decided to try out one of my new nail polishes - one that I haven't used in any of my posts before - "Glametal" from Ciate.
The nail polish is silver, a bit glittery and somewhat metallic. It's easy to apply on the nail and is a bit creamy. :)
Here are the pics! Enjoy!
