Alphabet nail art challenge - letter F

Ok, another week, another letter.
But for today I have two manicures. One is a simple french manicure using colorful nail polishes and the second one is a french manicure inspired ... manicure, I guess.

As you can see, I tried to add some yellow dots with the yellow nail polish, but it was too sheer, the yellow line it's acrylic paint. I don't really know why I didn't use it for the dots too, but, well....

This second mani I like more :) I just like how the ombrè effect looks like and the stamped flower.

The Alphabet Nail Art Challenge - Letter E

Ooops! Apparently I'm starting to move my appearance day for the manicures on Mondays :) sorry, really sorry! This weekend I slept all day long! I was physically exhausted after a hard week at work! My sleeping schedule started from Friday around 8 pm 'til Saturday at 9 am and at noon on Saturday, and then again from Saturday around 10 pm 'til Sunday at 9 am...and ended with...from 9 pm to 6 am on Monday...'cause we have to go to work again, right? :)

I didn't even get to say Happy Children's Day for every child out there! I hope you all had an amazing day and had a smile on your face remembering how being a small kid was! :)

But let's get to the mani! I had a very hard time deciding on what to do, and eventually my mom gave me the winning idea: ECLIPSE!

So I started with base coat, then on my middle finger I applied a coat of white nail polish. Then I made a gradient use the sponge technique with yellow, orange and black. After it dried a little bit, I drew a dark moon/sun with black. On the rest of the fingers I painted two coats of black and on top I added gold sparkling nail polish and some hexagon gold glitters.

And the result is as follows:

Alphabet nail art challenge - letter B

Watch out! I have bugs! Just kidding! Hi!

Have you missed me? I sure did miss you. And I'm here with a new letter ergo a new nail design! I could't miss the opportunity to show you a manicure inspired by PiggieLuv and posted on Facebook here. I just loved it and recreated it. I loved it! I wore the manicure for a whole week.

But because I couldn't show you only a recreation of a manicure, I made some cute bugs, on a walk to remember. :) Funny, right? So the name Bugs fits just right.

I hope you like my manicure and make sure you check the other "B" inspired manicures:

Mix'n'match

Another first for me! Not only the mix'n'match manicure is my first try, but it's the first time I've take photos at night. I wasn't happy with the results, but I think I'm getting better at photographing, despite my non-professional camera. :)
Truth be told, I was challenged to do this king of manicure. So, this is the result.

O alta premiera pentru mine! Nu doar manichiura asortata, dar si sedinta foto de seara. Nu am fost foarte multumita cu rezultatele pana acum, dar cred ca incerc sa ma descurc mai bine in ultima vreme, in ciuda camerei mele foto pentru amatori. :)
Ca sa va spun sincer, am fost provocata sa fac aceasta manichiura. Asa ca, uite rezultatul.

Base color: Farmec Flip-Flop

Thumb nail: Rimmel London 60 Seconds 500 Caramel Cupcake - light brown + Classics Glamour 178 - black

Index finger nail: green glitter hexagons

Middle finger nail: Gabrini 319 - light green + Gabrini Summer Edition M106 - turquoise

Ring finger nail: Flormar 400 - white and green glitter hexagons

Pinky finger nail: Golden Rose Jolly Jewels 105 - green and purple glitter

TPA: 17 - Inspired by hippie nails

Hello and welcome back to another TPA group challenge theme.

This week we have hippie nails, so love is all around us. I’ll keep this post very short, because I’m trying very hard to make a short video/slideshow to put on YouTube. I have my account for a few years now, but I stopped putting up slideshows. I hope I’ll start this week.

So, my manicure for today is…

 

Oh, yeah…I tried making the same design but instead of using white as a base, I used clear nail polish…

… not what I needed. Still, here is the “design”

I have some girls with pretty hippie manicures, just make sure to check them out:

Kisses and see you soon!

Getting ready for Christmas - 3 in 1

Hello, lovelies!
This post will have the next three manicures for Elsa's collaboration. If you want to see the work of the other girls, check it out here.

My manicures from today are Under the mistletoe, Red and Gold and Blue and Silver.

This nail design has a short story: under the mistletoe you hug and kiss the one you love and you are happy because he hugged and kissed you back. On the thumb nail I have the image of a sky full of stars and snowflakes, because mistletoe is a winter plant, if I may say so. :) 

Products used: Maybelline Colorama, Gabrini Summer Edition M118, Golden Rose Paris 151, Classics Glamour 178, Avon Nailwear Pro Sunshine, Gabrini 3D 02 and Paris Memories 201.

This is just a simple gradient manicure, using Avon Nailwear Pro Ruby Slippers, Golden Rose Care+Strong 143 and Paris Memories 201.

The base color for this manicure is Golden Rose Rich Color 20, over it it's Medusa crackle 03 and top coat Paris Memories 201.

I hope you like my designs and check back later for more Christmasy nail art.
