Yesterday I had a really good idea for my manicure, and it turned out so good! It looks even better than what I imagined.

Essence Go Wild is really nice warm toned purple. I don’t know actually how to describe this color, so I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

 

I stamped with China Glaze OMG all-over flower pattern from Konad image plate m73. The result is stunning! It looks even better in person.

 

What do you think?

Have a nice day!!

Hello!

I know it’s not summer yet, but I really miss the sun, sea and beach. So I made a sea manicure ;)
NYX Girls Morocco is really beautiful blue color. It has frosty finish and it’s shimmery. For full coverage you need to apply two coats.

Morocco:

 

I made bubbles with China Glaze Millennium, and then I added some holographic glitter. I stamped a seahorse on the ring finger and added star shaped rhinestone. I used Konad image plates m16 and m27.

Do you like my ‘’sea’’ mani? ;)

Hi!

Here is another example of how you can do a different French manicure. I made this one a while ago. The pink polish on tips is Essence (SYF) Flashy pink. I used Konad image plates m6 and m9. White flowers were made with Konad special polish white, and the blue ones with Essence Deep Blue Sea.

 

I’m being little bit lazy for writing posts, but I’m taking pictures of my manicures anyway. I have to start writing every day again :P

See you soon! :)

Hi!

I turned 20 a few days ago. I can’t believe, that I’m that old so soon. I know that is not “old”, but anyway I feel like the number 30 is not so far anymore.

Leaving my age aside let’s move to the manicure that I wore that day. I didn’t have any inspiration so I browsed around some other nail blogs. I saw this gorgeous manicure from Deniz on Emerald Sparkled and I know, that this is perfect mani for my ˝big day˝, because it has glitter and it’s also holo.

I used Ciate 3am Girl, which is very dark blue – almost black. And then I layered one coat of China Glaze Atlantis and one coat Wet’n’wild Kaledioscope which gave my nails a more holo effect.

The only problem with this mani was, that the sun let me down and it wasn’t sparkly at all :( These are the pictures taken a day later on the sun:

 

As you can see I shortened my nails the next day. Do you want to know why? :D I told everyone around me that this year I don’t want any presents, but nobody listened. I got the most beautiful present from my boyfriend. He bought me a piano! A real piano! :D I can’t wait to start learning to play. So you can expect now that from now on my nails will be shorter than usual ;)

 

Have a nice day!! Lyra :*
