The Polishes Challenge: 2. Two colors - Going purple!

Hello! ^_^

I don't have much to say this week- I'm pretty busy with exams & stuff  -_-" but I had to make time to paint my nails...

This week's challenge was with two untried nail polishes so I decided it's time to try something with my favorite color, in two shades.

The Polishes Challenge: 1. One color

Hello! ^_^

I decided to join a polish challenge along with a few Romanian bloggers that I follow and admire. The challenge was Jonochi of Just Add Polish's idea and you can find more details about it here.

This week's challenge was to use only one color.
If you've browsed my blog before, you probably noticed that I rarely use the same color on all of my nails (almost never) and even less often my nails are painted in only one color (never until now). So, this challenge was really... a challenge for me!
I had to pick one color so I decided to try out one of my new nail polishes - one that I haven't used in any of my posts before - "Glametal" from Ciate.
The nail polish is silver, a bit glittery and somewhat metallic. It's easy to apply on the nail and is a bit creamy. :)
Here are the pics! Enjoy!

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:

Fairy Tale - Hansel & Gretel by the Grimm Brothers

Hello! :D

This week I'm showing you my Fairy Tale inspired manicure. I was inspired by the Grimm Brothers' story - "Hansel & Gretel", one of my favorite bedtime stories as a child.

I've seen many challenges like this on Nail Art blogs but I never had the courage to try it till Tip Top issued this topic in their contest. 

Tell me what you think! ^_^

My first O.P.I. nail lacquers/Under the sea manicure

Ok, so, I got a bit lazy and forgot to post on the blog. This manicure is two weeks old, from when I bought my first O.P.I. nail lacquers and it is also an entry for the Tip Top contest I've been talking about lately...

The theme was "nature" and I decided to go with something simple and bright which would still let the O.P.I. nail polish stand out. Here is what I came up with:

And these are my very first three O.P.I. nail lacquers:

1. Nothin' Moussie 'Bout It

2. Liquid Sand - Get Your Number

3. I Have A Herring Problem
