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 - Beach Activities

Hello nail art lovers,

Have you been on holiday, yet? Did you make a trip to the beach this year or are you planing to?
I'm probably not going to dip my toes into the sea this year, however I I can still dream about beach activities, right?

For today's theme I "accessed" my childhood memories and recalled how it is to play in the sand and build sand castles. Not a care in the world...

Creative Nails Collab - Hello Summer

Hello nail art lovers,

Officially, summer is here! Curious enough, we've had rain every day since June began - not that I'm complaining...

Anyway, my nails are meant to represent heat and fun so... have a look!

Saturday's Theme - Beach

Hello, nail art lovers!

I really miss going to the beach and this week's manicure just intensified my feelings. I miss feeling the sand on my soles, the breeze in my hair and the water all around me, and I tried to give you a glimpse of how beautiful the sea is, by painting it on my nails.

Saturday’s Theme – First Day of Summer

Hello, nail art lovers!

Today's theme wasn't as challenging as others and we had the liberty of choosing what we do on our nails, so I went for a recreation of something I had found on Pinterest not long ago, which you can see here - done by @serkova_nail.

June's Nail Challenge - Hello, Summer!

Hello, nail art lovers!

Sorry for the delay, again, but I just got my laptop from service and I had an extra busy weekend: two of my friends got married. The wedding was lovely and I will show you the nails I had to match my dress.

Anyway, back to our weekly theme. Last week we said "Hello, Summer!" with vibrant colors and nice patterns, gradients and whatnot. My choice was to mix three colors and create something similar to the splatter nail art.

Nail Art Marathon - 8.Gradient

Hey there!

This week's post is a little late because I had some issues with my nails and other things, plus a very busy end of the week, but I managed to take some [bad] pictures of my manicure this evening.

The theme is one of my favorites - gradient - and was Madalina's idea. I use a lot of gradients as a background for my manicures but this time I tried to make it stand out a bit.

The Polishes Challenge: 12. Prettiest

Hey there! It's really hot here and I'm very sleepy so this is a short post.
The nail polish I chose for today's challenge is Leydi 718. I love the color, it's one of the prettiest out of my untried polishes and I think it looks good on the nails, as well.

Hello! E foarte cald aici si mi-e cam somn asa ca asta va fi o postare scurta.
Oja pe care am ales-o pentru provocarea de azi e Leydi 718. Imi place mult culoarea, e una dintre cele mai frumoase dintre ojele neincercate pana acum si consider ca arata foarte bine si pe unghii.

Inspired by a toy/ Inspirata de o jucarie

Hello everyone! Today's post is about a manicure inspired by a toy I love! ^_^

Buna tuturor! Manichiura de azi e inspirata de o jucarie la care tin foarte mult! ^_^

It's a punk-ish Rainbow Hedgehog with a belly button that I received a few years ago from my parents (yes, they still consider and treat me like a kid). I love his bright colors and the fact that he's incredibly soft. <3

E un Arici Curcubeu mai punk, cu buric, pe care l-am primit acum cativa ani de la ai mei ( da, ei inca ma considera si ma trateaza ca pe un copil). Ador culorile lui vesele si faptul ca e incredibil de moale. <3

Happy Summer Flowers

Hello everyone! ^_^

My first post on this blog, almost a year ago, was about a summer manicure with flowers. Since my blog's anniversary will be in 5 days (OMG, already???) , I decided to paint something bright, colorful , which would fit into the same theme - flowers! :D

Also, another thing that inspired me was this contest I found on a fellow Romanian blogger, Miss Happy - Madalina's blog. The theme is "Summer". If you're from Romania and you love painting your nails, you still have time to enter! :D

Ok, enough talking for now, here are some more pictures:

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... 

Beach Nails

It's summer... It's hot... I'd really like to go to the beach, but I'm not sure I will be able to go there this summer... Oh well...

 That's why I decided to paint my nails similar to how a beach is - palm trees, hot sand, warm salty water and the sun shining bright above them all... *day dreams*

I used different shades of blue, green and yellow and a little golden glitter to resemble the grains of sand...

I also tried to create waves, to make the nail art look more dynamic. I think they turned out pretty well. ^_^

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take pictures right after I finished my manicure so the tips of my nails were a bit scratched and the polish went off, but, all in all they still look pretty good...

Enjoy! ^_^
