Hey babes! How are you?
Today it's Tuesday and day 23 in the challenge, which means that today's theme is inspired by a movie. Take a look at my manicure!

Can you guess which movie I used as inspiration?
If you guessed Monsters vs. Aliens you guessed right! My inspiration for this manicure was the costume Susan is wearing. You can see it if you click here and here.

I used Pahlish Boundless As The Dark as a base for this manicure. It's a highly pigmented blue polish with shimmer flakes in blue and green. Then I used a striping brush and Depend 223 to paint the stripe pattern. I put on a little bit of clear polish the shapes that I wanted glitter and then I used a dotting tool to place the glitters. Then I finished with top coat!

I really like this manicure, what do you think?

#31DC2014 | Day 22 - Inspired by a song (+ United in Green & Nail Art Sunday)

Hi there! I took a little break, but now I'm back! My inspirational level went pretty low this week so I couldn't make any good manicures and all the pictures I captured were really bad.
Anyway! Today it's a special day, it's United In Green (hosted by Karin at Vacker & Underbar) which is a theme week to raise awareness about depression. You might not know this but October is not only pink, it's also green for depression.
Today is the last day of the week and Karin collaborated with Lela at Lelack for Nail Art Sunday, so they decided that the theme would be Love! 'Cause you know, love is amazing.
Not only is it Nail Art Sunday and United in Green, it's also day 22 and that means that I also need to be inspired by a song. Well that's a lot of things to include in one manicure, but I gave it a try and this is the result!

So, as I said, I had a lot of things to include in one manicure and that was reeeeaally hard. I decided to be inspired by a song that I love from a band that was introduced to me by someone I used to love. The song is The Greener Grass by Fair To Midland. It's amazing.
So I made grass on my nails. You know, the greener grass represents life without depression and the brown grass, the withered grass represents depression.
I really like this manicure!
I used China Glaze New Birth as a base. It's a beautiful really pale blue creme from the Giver collection. The green to brown polishes are the following: China Glaze Holly-Day, Smitten Polish Electric Lime, China Glaze OMG A UFO, NYC Backstage Brown and finally Smitten Polish Seasonal Lattes.

Remember to share some love and hopefully we might fight a little bit of depression at the same time. I love you all! Byyyyyeee!

Hello cuties! Here I am, late as always! ;)
Today is day 12 for me. The theme is stripes!

I'm really happy with these nails! Seriously, I did a great job!
The base is a light sea foam green shimmer by China Glaze and it's called Keep Calm, Paint On. I love this polish. It's delicate and pretty and clean and cool at the same time. It's perfect! I've used it before in a couple of manicures, like this one, and I just love it.
I freehanded the stripes with a striping brush and these are the colors I used:
OPI Fiercely Fiona
OPI Who The Shrek Are You?
China Glaze Papaya Punch
I♥Layla N.07 (THANK YOU MARIA!)
Cult Nails Riot

I placed two neon orange studs* from Born Pretty Store on the pinkie and the pointer.

31DC2013 Day 29: Inspired by the supernatural - Unicorn and stripes

Hej hörrni! Jag är trött. Dagens utmaning är att inspireras av något övernaturligt, och jag valde att göra en enhörning och lite ränder!

Jag hade ingen direkt plan när jag började med naglarna. Så det slutade med att jag inte hade något motiv på tumme och pekfinger. Så jag målade dit lite ränder!
Basen är Nordic Cap NP13. Jag har målat enhörningen i Glitter Gal Light As A Feather, fast det syns inte på bilderna. Manen, svansen och hornet är målade med Glitter Gal Crushed Ego, Ozotic 513 och Jade Delírio Rosa. Ränderna också. Och så har jag har gjort konturerna med Nordic Cap NP12.
Ganska nöjd, men det hade varit finare om enhörningen inte sprang in i en massa ränder liksom.


Hi yall! I'm tired. Todays challenge is to be inspired by the supernatural, and I chose to do a unicorn and some stripes!

I didn't have a specific plan when I started with the nails. So I ended up with no nail art on my thumb and pointer. So I painted some stripes!
The base is Nordic Cap NP13. I have painted the unicorn in Glitter Gal Light As A Feather, but you can't really see that on these pictures. The mane, tail and horn is painted with Glitter Gal Crushed Ego, Ozotic 513 and Jade Delírio Rosa. The stripes too. And I've done the outlines with Nordic Cap NP12.
I'm pretty happy, but I think it would look better if the unicorn wasn't running into a bunch of stripes you know.

31DC2013 Day 12: Stripes - Neon and black

Dag 12. Tolv dagar i rad har jag bloggat nu. Jag känner mig så himla duktig! Det är svårt att hinna med. Jag är sjukt stressad, ganska ofta, men det är värt det! Det är ju trots allt en utmaning, och utmaningar ska vara svåra.
Idag tittar vi på randiga naglar!

Neon är så svårt att fånga på bild. Men ni som vet hur Orly Glowstick och Melt Your Popsicle ser ut kan kanske föreställa er hur neonig gradienten är. Jag började alltså med att göra en gradient över vitt. Därefter tejpade jag med stripingtejp och lackade Nordic Cap NP12 över. Bort med tejp och topplacka.
Enkelt, och snyggt som fasen!


Day 12. I've posted twelve days in a row. It feels so damn good! It is hard to keep up. I'm stressed up most of the time, but it's worth it! After all it is a challenge, and challenges are supposed to be hard.
Today we're watching striped nails!

Neon is so hard to photograph. But if you know how Orly Glowstick and Melt Your Popsicle looks you might be able to imagine how neon-ish the gradient is. I started with the gradient over white. Then I taped the lines with striping tape and painted a coat of Nordic Cap NP12 on top. Take off the tape and topcoat.
Easy and so damn pretty!

31DC2013 Day 7: Black And White - It's a MANIfest!

Idag fyller min pappa år! Grattis papps! Så därför blev inlägget rätt sent idag med.
Dagens utmaning är svart och vitt och jag har velat göra den här manikyren länge nu. Det är nämligen så att Mona la upp en sjukt snygg svartvit manikyr på sin blogg The manifest för ett tag sedan. Jag blev helt kär och beslutade mig för att göra en manikyr inspirerad av Monas!

Personligen tycker jag att Monas naglar är sjukt mycket snyggare än mina. Nåväl! Jag har inte en enda nagel som är likadan som en annan. Jag har använt det svarta Nordic Cap NP12, det vita Nordic Cap NP13, H&M matta topplack och Seche Vite. Det mesta av det matta har jag freehandat dit efteråt, därför är det inte speciellt jämt och snyggt i kanterna. Ser ni vad som är matt och inte? Vad tycker ni?


Today is my fathers birthday! Happy birthday dad! So that's why today's post is a bit late.
The challenge of the day is black and white and I've wanted to do this manicure for a while. Mona posted a gorgeous manicure on her blog The manifest awhile ago, and I fell in love with it. So I decided to do a manicure inspired by Mona!

Personally I think that Monas nails looks much better than mine does. Oh well! I don't have a single nail that looks like another nail. I've used the black Nordic Cap NP12, the white Nordic Cap NP13, H&M Matte topcoat and Seche Vite. I've freehanded most of the matte parts so that's why it's a bit uneven. Can you see what's matte and not? What do you think?
