Nail Team Challenge - Studs

It's a new day, a new Saturday, a new manicure! :D

This week's theme was Alina's idea and I was waiting for it ever since I saw her idea on the banner! I love rock music and fashion so, of curse, studs are part of my obsession. Next week's theme will be the last in this collaboration and will be as awesome as today's - "rock nails" - so if you're into this you should totally check out what we will prepare for you! :D

Alphabet nail art challege - Letter X for... X-ray

This week's letter was quite a challenge, but I managed to find a way to do something a little more creative than my last manicure.
I used the word "X-ray" as an inspiration and some glow in the dark nail polish to give it a nice effect. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures while the nail polish was still glowing and a day after I did my manicure (or more likely the other night) the polish didn't glow on my nails anymore. :(

Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter V for... vortex!

The letter "V" was one of the few letters that did not make me ask every person I knew about words that start with it and for inspiration afterwards. I had talked to my boyfriend (just for fun) about the option of him doing my nails and he said he would probably manage to do spirals (he doubts his artistic talent), so I instantly thought about the word "Vortex". 

I used that idea to create these nails:

Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter A - Alphabet

Hello ladies! ^_^

I haven't posted in almost two weeks (shame on me) but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, even though I did do my nails and even took pictures! :)) I guess I was just lazy... 

Aaaanyway, today I am happy to announce you that the girls from the previous collaboration have agreed upon participating in a new collab, inspired by a picture posted by Miss Happy, called "Alphabet nail art challenge" which will last for 26 weeks (26 letters in the alphabet - get it, get it? :D ). The rule is simple - each week we post a manicure inspired by a word or technique that starts with the letter corresponding to the week. This week's letter is... *dum dum dum*  A (of course it's A, dooh... ) and I chose to show you the whole alphabet on my nails! :D

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".

Red & Black Extravaganzza

Today, I'll show you my newest nail polish! :D

These days, almost everybody in the Polish Addicts Group is obsessed with Golden Rose nail polishes. I must admit that they made me curious about this brand so I couldn't wait to get my claws on at least one of the types of polishes it has to offer. The "lucky" one was "Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 116", a beautiful, somewhat sheer, dark red with black and silver glitter particles. 

Azi va voi arata cel mai nou lac de unghii pe care il detin! :D

Zilele acestea, aproape toate fetele din grupul de Polish Addicts sunt obsedate de lacurile de unghii Golden Rose. Trebuie sa recunosc ca m-au facut curioasa cu privire la ele asa ca abia am asteptat sa pun gherutele macar pe unul din tipurile de lacuri pe care acest brand le are de oferit. "Norocoasa" a fost "Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 116", o nuanta visinie, usor transparenta, ce contine particule negre si argintii de glitter.

T.P.A. Group Challenge: 5. Inspired by a country (Japan)

Hello! ^_^
This Saturday I will show you a manicure inspired by a country. At the beginning I wanted to paint something representative for England, one of my favorite countries, but, afterwards, I decided to challenge myself and be a little more creative, so I chose Japan (a country with one of the most fascinating cultures in the world!)

Salut! ^_^
In aceasta zi de sambata am sa va prezint o manichiura inspirata de o tara. La inceput am vrut sa pictez ceva reprezentativ pentru Anglia, una dintre tarile mele preferate, dar, am decis sa aleg ceva mai dificil, care sa ma puna la incercare si sa fiu mai creativa, asa ca am ales Japonia (o tara a carei cultura este una dintre cele mai fascinante din lume!)

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.
