Fairy on a branch

A post that's not on Saturday?! OMG! :))
Yes, shocking, isn't it?

The reason behind this post is that I decided to participate in a nail art contest held by Bombchelenails on Instagram. The contest's theme is "Enchanted" and all we had to do is paint something (freehand) which would represent it: fairy-tales, dragons, magic etc., on our nails. ^_^

Since I love anything that has to do with magic and fairies and fantasy, I couldn't skip this contest, so here are my nails:

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...

Happiness

Hello! ^_^
Today, in Romania, we celebrate Children's Day so I decided to paint my nails with bright colors to make them look happy and childish. I added a few caviar balls and glitter to make them look even brighter and more colorful.
I used the sponge technique and mixed the colors on a palette before applying them on my nails.
What do you think?

Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain - manicure inspired by a movie

Hello everyone! ^_^
Sorry for the long pause, but I was a bit busy and neglected the blog. My bad. 

Anyway, here is my manicure for this week (or at least part of the week), a new challenge from Tip Top Nails: "Inspired by stage, screen or T.V.". 
I chose one of my favorite movies, called "Amélie" or "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain" about which you can read here (wiki) or here (imdb). 

Basically, it's the story of a woman, called Amélie that has had a weird/different childhood and has an uncommon heart disease. After the death of Princess Diana, in 1997, she decides that it is time for her to make a difference on this planet and starts helping people she knows or barely knows to achieve their goals and be happier.

I was inspired by the movie poster, which you can see here:

And here is my manicure:

Colors! Colors everywhere!!!

The weather is pretty dull, foggy and all that so I decided that my nails should bring up some colors and happiness all around. Here they are! ^_^

What I used:
- Miss Sporty - 455 Clubbing
- Maybeline - Mini Colorama 52 Dark Plum
- S-he Style Zone - 115 White
- Avon - Speed Dry + Orange, Nailware Pro + Baby Pink
- Flormar - 437 Spring & Summer
- Moyra - 605 - Pastel Shades
- Rimmel - Lasting Finish 055 Sunshine, 60 seconds 740 clear
- Oumaxi - acrylic paint

Sparkly Magical Night

I recently bought some new nail polishes from Avon - a dark blue one, a glittery silver one and a silver one which creates mosaic effects. I loved them so much that I used them in a simple manicure, just to show how wonderful they look. The pictures don't do them justice, though...

Psychedelic dream

I've been dreaming of painting my nails like this for quite a while and now I had the chance. 

I love how it turned out.

My boyfriend told me to try and make the black stripes because he thought they look better this way. 

I'm not sure about that, but I think they turned out pretty good in the end.

I didn't use the marble art technique because it's messy and it doesn't always turn out great. I painted my nails with a yellow base and afterwords I made stripes and shapes with different colors. 

Enjoy! ^_^

Cotton Candy Delight

I got a great shade of pink nail polish by Avon, from two of my greatest friends  for my B'Day and I wanted to try it as soon as possible. I didn't know what to match it with so I took a light blue nail polish by Miss Sporty ( which I got from another lovely friend, last summer) and I combined them into a manicure, about which my boyfriend says that it reminds him of babies ( baby boy blue and baby girl pink). ^_^

I added some rhinestones I also got or my B'Day and some pretty stars to make look more "my style".
Enjoy!
