Creative Nails Collab - Dots & Lines

Hello nail art lovers,

How does today's theme sound? Simple and.. a bit boring, maybe? Well, that's how I felt about it, too. I've done plenty of dotticures and loads of striped manicures, however I rarely combined them - even then, it was just a mix-match.

But now... I believe I took it to a whole new level... for myself!

Creative Nails Collab - Rainbow

Hello nail art lovers,

Spring has finally reached us, however it's as hot as mild summer... I was hoping for more "lukewarm" days so I could just lay around in the shade with a good book, however the weather did not allow me to indulge in my dream.

My nails should reflect my mood better though, so here is a rainbow of emotions presented as dots on the tiny white canvases:

Saturday's Theme - Dots

Hello, nail art lovers!

This week's theme is very... dotty! Spots, dots, bubbles... everywhere! :D
It sounds like a pretty fun idea so I went with some colors that kinda remind me of clowns: red, silver and black.

Saturday's Theme - Clothes Inspired

Hello, nail art lovers!

This week we were inspired by beautiful dresses, cute blouses and other nice pieces of clothing to create unique manicures. As my clothes are mostly black, I decided to look up a dress online. Here's what I found:

And here are my nails!

Saturday's Theme - Pantone Color 2017

Hello, nail art lovers!

Today, we go green! :D
Today's theme is all about the color of the year, which was chosen by the Pantone Institute, Greenery. The color is a nice shade of green with yellow undertones and, as the official website describes it, it "evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew" and, as "a life-affirming shade, Greenery is also emblematic of the pursuit of personal passions and vitality".

Here is my bright manicure for this theme:

April's Nails Challenge - Pretty in Polka Dotts

Hello, nail art lovers!

What's new? How have you been?

This week was tiring and frustrating for me, and I managed to break a nail, as well, so I had to file all of them down, a bit. My manicure for thsi theme was done since last week, but I went to bed right after doing it and woke up with the worst smudged nails, ever! I only found time ro redo them after I filed them down and even though I did not keep all the original elements, I like how it turned out.

The theme, as you can see, it " Pretty in Polka Dots", so I chose to mix polka dots with flowers and a lady Polar Bear that feels pretty, since yesterday was Earth Day.

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!

T.P.A. Group Challenge: 1. Inspired by Pop Art

I'm so excited about this post/challenge that I just don't know what to say and how to start! ^_^
Sunt atat de incantata de aceasta postare/provocare incat  nici nu stiu de unde sa incep! ^_^

First of all, this challenge was created by Georgia (I think you're familiar with this name now) for our polish addicts group on Facebook and I think it's one of the coolest challenges I've seen up to this point.
Second, today's challenge is entitled "Inspired by Pop Art" - a difficult theme but I think I managed to get the best out of me regarding it. ^_^
Third, here are my nails! Enjoy!

My B'Day Nails!

Last week I celebrated my B'Day with some of my best friends. We had sweets, chips, pizza and my homemade cake with decorative kittens made from marzipan. It was fun! :D

Also, one of my friends is a great photographer ( you can see more of his photographs here: http://andreinicoaraphoto.blogspot.com/ ) and he took some awesome pictures, including the one with my nails! :D

So, this is a double premiere for the blog - my first B'day celebration since I started the blog aaand the first picture of my manicure took by a professional photographer. Yaaay!

My manicure was inspired by the dress I wore and I used tones of grey, red and black. I also added some glitter to make it more similar to the dress. I hope you like it! ^_^

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...
