Newspaper Fairytail

I'm a huge fan of the newspaper manicure. It's such a simple technique and it looks so good! ^_^
Here is a tutorial by Cutepolish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kcdt4_5Ncc

For my nails I used an older newspaper and because the paper was very dry and the print was old, the letters didn't come out as in the tutorial. Some of them didn't stick to the nails at all so I decided to make the manicure a bit more "Fairytail-ish" by adding some stars and glitter where the letters weren't showing.
I think it turned out really nice for an improvisation. :)

Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures...

Mary Poppins

     
     I've recently watched the Mary Poppins movie and it reminded me of my childhood and how nice and simple everything was back then. *daydreams*
     Soooo I decided to try and paint my nails as a tribute for this wonderful story and for the great actors that gave life to some of my favorite characters of all time... :)
     Here is what I managed to come up with: 

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... 

Black, White & Red

This week I wanted to experiment a bit with my nails, trying new designs and combining only 3 colors. I'm really proud of how they turned out and I think I managed to make them look both cute and interesting at the same time.
I got the chance to try my new nail polish - "Mosaic Effects" from Avon and I compared it to the same type of nail polish from Rimmel. I think that the one from Avon is better because it dries quicker and the effect is more visible.
I also cut them again, so they're not round anymore and this shape lets me experiment more.
I have a bunch of new ideas I want to try in the next few weeks and I hope those will turn up as I expect. ^_^

Getting the London look?

Olympic Games, bla bla... here are my nails! :D

This manicure is one from my stock, I had it a while ago, waaay before knowing where the Olympics would take place... :)
