June's Nail Challenge - Neon

Hello, nail art lovers!

How are you coping with the summer heat? Are you the type that goes out and gets their skin tanned or the "me" type that stays indoors painting their nails? No matter which type you are, today's manicure should suit both.

Every summer I get my neon colors out and use them a looot... I go neon and on and on... :P This summer will probably be the same so.. let's get started!

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 3. Neon Nails

Hello!

It's Saturday Sunday and I'm going to show you this week's challenge, chosen by Vanyna - neon nails!

When I first saw the list of themes I thought "OMG! I need to start buying more polishes!" since I only remembered having two neon nail polishes. To my surprise, when I checked my collection, I noticed a lot of polishes I had forgotten all about (shame on me, neglecting my "babies" in such a way!). Finding so many neon colors gave me a new idea than what I had initially planned to do on my nails. Here is the result:

T.P.A. Group Challenge: 11. Inspired by lollipop nails

Another week, another short post!
My laptop is going to the "doctor" on Wednesday and I didn't have time to take pictures during the day so they're a bit blurry. Sorry. I promise to take better ones of the future manicures!
Also, my nails are of different sizes and shapes, due to the course I'm taking (they're making "experiments" on my nails :(( ) so please focus on the nail art, not on my manicure! :o3

O noua saptamana, o noua postare!
Laptopul meu va merge la "doctor" miercuri si nu am avut timp sa fac poze in timpul zilei asa ca pozele au o calitate mai slaba. Imi pare rau. Promit sa fac poze mai bune viitoarelor manichiuri!
De asemenea, unghiile mele au diferite forme si dimensiuni, datorita cursului pe care il fac (fetele fac "experimente" pe unghiile mele :(( ) asa ca va rog sa va uitati la model, nu la manichiura! :o3

Don't forget to see what the other girls did!

Nu uitati sa vedeti ce au facut si celelalte fete!

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!

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:

Water Spotted Nails and Mosaic nails

Lately I've been doing my nails quite often but I haven't posted anything, so here is a little update! ^_^
This is what I'm wearing now - water spotted nails. I used neon colors from Moyra, a dark blue from Avon and a lighter blue from Flormar.

Here is the tutorial I used, by Cutepolish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnhfvuoBAMo .
P.S. I used perfume to spray the nailpolish in the glass, because it didn't work with hand saniterizer...


Here is a little bonus - my newest entry for the contest held by Tip Top Nails - South Africa. Enjoy! ^_^

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! ^_^

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...
