Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 18. Saran Wrap

Another week, another theme! This time we have another one of Iulia B.'s ideas - saran wrap. 

I have tried this technique before, and, you can actually find a tutorial posted by Laula on our Facebook page. 

What I like most about saran wrap is that you can get unique designs every time, even form one nail to the other and you can create both funky and elegant manicures. Mine is a bit of both, and you'll see why if you look down. ^_^

Nail Art Marathon 2015 - 9. Butterflies

Hey, hey!

Another late manicure is here! This time I don't have any excuse for not posting on time, except for my laziness... Or I could blame the hot weather... May I, may I? :D

Anyway, this week theme was Madalina's idea and it is one of my favorites from this collaboration - butterflies! ^_^

I love butterflies for their beautiful colors and soft wings. They brighten my day when I notice them in the garden or on the street and I remember that in my grandparents' back yard there was always this white butterfly that would appear each spring and sit on my grandfather's shoulder at some point during spring. I'm pretty sure there's some magic involved. 

And here are my nails:

Nail Team Challenge - Inspired by... a tv series/book series

Hey there everyone!

I'm back after a pretty long vacation (this post should have been up last Saturday but...exams) and I'm ready to start a new year of blogging filled with loads of new manicures and hopefully more collaborations with my new friends from the blogging community.

To start the year, one of the cool bloggers, Oana, came up with a great idea - we all had to think of a theme and write it down in a list. Then we voted for a name and another awesome blogger, Andrea, created this cute banner:

Anyway, I should tell you about my nail and inspiration. ^_^

I chose a TV series and book series as my inspiration: Pretty Little Liars.

I started watching this TV series because of my amazing friend, Iulia, and since then I am addicted to it. You should really check it out, it's awesome. Even my boyfriend, the symbol of masculinity, found it pretty interesting. :P

And here are my nails:

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:

Blue and silver dream

Hello! Last week I decided to try the "Saran Wrap" nail art technique by applying silver polish over blue nails  and using a piece of crumpled paper to make it look cracked and to blend the two colors a bit. You can find more details about this technique on YouTube. Enjoy! ^_^

Avon - Colortrend Silver Plated Y3312, Nailwear pro+ Inky Blue Y1952
