Hello there cuties! What are you doing today?
It's day 27 and the theme is inspired by artwork. I was inspired by one of my faaaavorite artists!

Only one nail today, but that's because I was so happy with it and I didn't want to ruin this whole post not that good nail art.
This is inspired by a self portrait by Jennie Lee, a dear friend of mine. She's amazing and I love all of her art, and I think she should know that she's really good.
You can find her on instagram, @bloodandurine.

I used China Glaze Liquid Leather and acrylic paint for this manicure.

Hello there sweeties! Sorry for not posting yesterday. I did write a post telling you that I didn't have time to post for day 4, but somehow that post disappeared. I wrote it on my phone though, so maybe that's why.
Today it's my fathers birthday so I've been celebrating him a little bit. We ate ice cream, noms! That's why I'm posting so late today. I thought I could publish two posts today, but I can't, It's too late. So now I'm three days late on this challenge! GREAT SUCCESS! Nah, it doesn't really matter as long as I'm having fun.
These are the nails for day 4, which is green!

So! For this manicure I used China Glaze Pelican Gray as my base and brown acrylic paint for my tree. I painted the trunk and the branches with a nail art brush. Then I made a shitload of leafs with a dotting tool using China Glaze Cha Cha Cha, Holly-Day and Running In Circles. Three BEAUTIFUL green polishes. Seriously, if you don't have them in your stash, you might wanna do some shopping.
I finished the design with a coat of Glisten & Glow HK Girl top coat.

Helloooo babes! It's friday, yay! Finally weekend! Today I've been traveling around the world. Nope. I went to Malmö to do an interview with a company where I want to have my next internship (and I got it!) and then I went to Lund to meet Christina (Passionate About Polish, click click) and Emelie. We talked about the three P's. You know, polish, periods and politics! What a great day.
Today is also my third day in the 31 day challenge, so I've been wearing these nails today. Take a look!

I've been going bananas aaaall day!
I used acrylic paint for the bananas, 'cause I really want to practice my freehand skills.
I've painted my pinkie and my ring finger with two coats of Happy Hands Banana Stand, a beautiful light yellow with matte yellow hex glitter in a medium size and  matte green hex glitter in a small size plus brown shiny glitter in a medium size. Application was perfect, no trouble at all.
The other three nails have a base of Nordic Cap NP13 and acrylic paint.

#31DC2014 | Day 1 - Red

I'm doing it, the 31 days challenge. I'm two days late though, but I'll try to catch up! So, from today, you'll get at least one post a day until I'm done. Or that's the plan!
So, today is my first day, even though it should be my third day. The theme for day 1 is red. Take a look!

I decided to try out the one stroke technique, 'cause I've never done that before. It was hard! And fun! And I really like it!
I started with one coat of Ciaté Dangerous Affair (that was actually my base last year too) and then one coat of China Glaze Ruby Pumps. When my nails were dry I did the one stroke flowers with cheap acrylic paint, a flat square brush and a dotting tool for the yellow dots.
I finished the design with one coat of top coat, but maybe I should have put on two coats. The glitter looks a bit rough.

Are you doing the 31 days challenge?
Let me know so I can follow your creations!

Nail Art: Pop Art Rainbows

Hej sötisar! Idag ska jag visa er något spännande! En dag satt jag och klickade runt på youtube och snubblade över en helt fantastisk kanal. Så jag gjorde det enda rätta och följde en av de fantastiska tutorialsen på kanalen. Ni borde alla spana in ProfessionalDQ på youtube (och instagram!). Vill ni veta varför? Jo, för att hon är drottningen över enhörningar, äter regnbågar och bajsar cupcakes. Japp.
Det kanske vore smartare att äta cupcakesen? Jo, men hur unikt skulle det vara? Inte så mycket.

Här har ni iallafall regnbågar i pop art format, videon hittar ni här!


Hi cuties! Today I will show you something exciting! One day I was clicking around on youtube and stumbled over a fabulous channel. So I did the only right thing and followed one of the amazing tutorials on the channel. You all should check out ProfessionalDQ on youtube (and instagram!). Do you want to know why? Well, she's the queen of all unicorns, eats rainbows and poops cupcakes. Yes.
Maybe it would be smarter to eat the cupcakes? Yeah, but how unique would that be? Not so much.

Here you have rainbows in pop art form, you'll find the video here!

Naglarna är förresten tillägnade min fina vän Jenna som jag går i skola med. Hon önskade att jag skulle göra regnbågsnaglar och det gjorde jag!

Ja, jag tycker nog att det är bäst att ni tittar på videon jag länkade tidigare, eftersom det var precis så jag gjorde. Jag använde Nordic Cap NP13 som bas, prickarna är China Glaze Pelican Grey och resten är akrylfärg. Och så matt topplack från H&M.

Skitakul att göra faktiskt! Jag har inte använt akryfärg innan, och upptäckte att de jag har är ganska dåliga (åtminstone den vita som ser ut som keso ungefär och fäster inte på lack). Jag kommer definitivt göra mer nail art med akrylfärg. Kul!


The nails are dedicated to my pretty friend Jenna who I go to school with. She asked me to do rainbow nails, so I did!

Yeah, I think you should watch the video that I linked earlier, 'cause that's exactly how I did these. I used Nordic Cap NP13 as a base, the dots are made with China Glaze Pelican Grey and the rest is acrylic paint. And matte top coat from H&M.

So fun to do actually! I haven't used acrylic paint before, and I discovered that the paint I got is pretty bad (at least the white which looks like cottage cheese and doesn't stick to polish). I will definitely do more nail art with acrylic paint! Fun!
