Floral nails and a nail art class

February turned out to be a very busy month, leaving me no time for blogging yet again. I had the opportunity to do many fun things, including teaching a nail art class, so here is a nail inspiration post full of nail art ideas.

We tried a variety of nail art designs, incuding glitter gradations, animal print nails and cute fruits, using nail polish, glitter and acrylic colours.

For the occasion I decided to sport floral nails, mixing handpainted flowers and polka dots so I can show the girls how they can combine different designs to create a fun manicure.

Have you ever attended a nail art class dear readers? Or do you find the idea boring?

Easy nails for Halloween

Hello everyone ^_^/

I have been meaning to make this post earlier in the week but I couldn't find the time, but finally here it is ^_^
I want to show you a couple of very simple Halloween manis, perfect for those who don't have enough time, like me.

The first one is a black and orange polka dot manicure. Very easy to achieve with a dotting tool or a toothpick.

I reversed the colours for an accent finger, to make this a little more fun. I used the orange Claire's nail polish I got from Moni and Sally Hansen's Black Out.

Even though it is a simple manicure, it is quite fun.

For the second one I wanted to use some of the fabulous Halloween polishes from China Glaze. So I started with two coats of It's Alive, a fantastic green glitter.

Then on some nails I drew stitches with black nail polish and on some nails I applied China Glaze Black Mesh. And here is the final result.

What do you think about these? Do you paint your nails in seasonal themes or just go with whatever you like?
I hope I can find time to do a more full on Halloween mani, as I have many ideas in my head. Let's see how that works out XD

For the time being don't forget to enter my running giveaway for a chance to win two Seventeen nail polishes.

Anna Sui pink glitter with red and white polka dots

Hello everyone ^_^/

Another week, another manicure to share with you.

As I am in the habbit of reading a lot of Japanese nail art magazines I get a lot of inspiration from them. Last week I saw a cute polka dot design that I just had to try.

I used 2 coats of Anna Sui U84 which is a pink glitter as you can see.
Did some white and red polka dots using some nail art pens, added a top coat of Seche Vite and voila, sparkly polka dot nails.







Have a lovely week everyone.

Polka Dots

Hello everyone ^_^/

As summer is finally upon us, I am in a cheeky mood and getting more and more into polka dots.

I've been trying all sorts of different polka dot designs so I decided to share some of my results.

Right now I have a black x silver polka dot design on my nails and this is how I did it.

I used the following products.



Black "Goth" polish and the silver from the foil series by Orly, China Glaze base and top coats, a dot brush and for the finish OPI fast dry spray (I am saved by this product because usually I keep ruining my manicures by randomly touching my nails here and there).

After applying the base coat I painted my nails to look like this.



Waited for them to dry a bit and then using the dot brush I did the polka dots(if you don't have one, a toothpick will produce the same effect ^_^).

Waited a bit for the dots to dry too and then applied top coat and used the spray too. This is the final result.



I also did the same design on my friend's nails, using pastel colours (mint and pink) by H&M and Anna Sui and this is how it came out.



So the design works well with all sorts of colour combinations and it is very simple to do as well.

Next week I am gonna try more styles so stay tuned ^_^
