Hi guys! Gotta keep it short today. I have a lot of stuff to do!
Today it's day 26 and the theme is inspired by a pattern. Take a look!

So my inspiration for this manicure was a piece of gift wrapping paper with a cute pink and green flower-ish pattern. I didn't use the exact same shades as the paper, 'cause I didn't want to copy the pattern right of. That's why I did two big flower-ish thingies on mt middle finger and my pointer.
For this manicure I used butter LONDON Trout Pout as a base and I used LVX Orchid for the other pink parts. The green parts is Holly-Day and Budding Romance, both from China Glaze.

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

- Green is vegan, Blue is cruelty free, Purple might or might not be cruelty free, Red is not cruelty free. Please visit my "Animal Cruelty" page for more information -

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!

#31DC2014 | Day 16 - Geometric

Hi guys! I'm having so much fun at Christina and at the internship. It feels really good and I like it here. Plus, I have a nail polish lover by my side everyday (and all of her polishes) and it's amazing.
It's day 16 today and the theme is geometric. I did some triangles!

I started to hate Nordic Cap NP13 after this manicure. It was streaky and messy and just bad. So, I need a new white creme polish. What's you favorite white creme polish?

After I had a little fight with the white polish I painted triangles in three different colors randomly all over the nails. I used L.A. Girl Brilliant Blue (Thank you Ingela!), Make Up Store Nicklas (Thank you Malin!) and Gina Tricot Beauty Billard. I really like this manicure!

#31DC2014 | Day 15 - Delicate Print

Hi there! I'm really tired and I need to paint my nails so this will be a short post.
The theme for day 15 is delicate print. Here you go!

I got this polish from Christina as a birthday gift. It's actually my birthday today!
The polish is Serum No.5 Glowin' Of Eden and it's a beautiful light green polish that glows in the dark. It does glow a bit more green than the picture shows. The formula was not that great. I had a lot of problems and I didn't like it. Too bad, 'cause it's a really pretty color.

The stamp is a lace pattern from Pueen plate 28 and I used the silver polish from Depend with the number 223. Works totally okay for stamping.

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.

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!

"I spy something green"
"Tree!"
- Rutt & Tuke, Brother Bear

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.

Ninja Polish 'Shillelagh' - United In Green

Här är jag! Men jag försvinner ett tag till efter detta blogginlägget, för jag ska flytta nästa vecka. Så jag återkommer efter flytten!

Idag tänkte jag visa er ett fantastiskt lack som jag fick i födelsedagspresent av Camilla. Och eftersom Shillelagh från Ninja Polish är grönt så är jag med på Karins gröna vecka för att uppmärksamma och stödja depression. Och så är det ju grön onsdag också, på samma gång!

Nämen, vad är detta? Jag testar lite nya sätt att fota. Gillar ni den svarta bakgrunden? Texten på första bilden? Jag är rätt nöjd med det iallafall.

Shillelagh är alltså ett av Ninja Polish egna lack, från deras egna märke, och kommer från kollektionen Enigma, en kollektion med duo- och multikroma lack. Shillelagh släpptes i samband med St. Patricks Day och har en fantastisk vacker grön färg, som får mig att tänka på godisgrodor. Skimret är finmalt och skiftar från en guld-brons-koppar färg till blått, men inte på ett sätt som tar över den gröna basen. Det är verkligen sjukt snyggt!

Ninja Polish is VEGAN
according to their website.
Please read my
"Animal Cruelty" page
for more information. 

Formulan var bra, jag hade inga problem. Jag har tre lager och ett lager Seche Vite på bilderna.



Here I am! But I will disappear again for a while after this blogpost, 'cause I am moving next week. So I will be back after the move!
Today I'm showing a fantastic polish that I got for my birthday from Camilla. And since Shillelagh by Ninja Polish is green, I am joining Karin on her green week for depression awareness and support. And it's Green Wednesday at the same time!

But hey, what is this? I'm trying out new ways to photograph. Do you like the black background? The text on the first picture? I'm pretty happy with it.

Shillelagh is one of Ninja Polish own polishes, from their own brand, and is a part of the Enigma collection, a collection of duo- and multichrome polishes. Shillelagh was released around St. Patricks Day and has a gorgeous green color that reminds me of candy frogs. The shimmer is delicate and shifts from a golden-bronze-copper color to blue, but not in a way that takes over the green base. It really is so beautiful!
The formula was good, I had no problems. I have three coats and one coat Seche Vite on the pictures.

31DC2013 Day 23: Inspired by a movie - TOTORO!!

Idag, mina vänner, fyller jag år. Ja, idag blir jag 21 år gammal. Tänka sig! Vad knäppt det känns ändå. Tjugoett. Jag är ju jättevuxen nu. Skoja bara, kolla in dagens naglar.
Idag är mina naglar inspirerade av en av mina favoritfilmer. Hayao Miyazaki är ett geni och jag älskar alla filmer jag sett som han gjort. Jag har typ 10 stycken, men jag vill ha alla. Filmer alltså. Här har ni naglar med Totoro, från filmen Min Granne Totoro. SE DEN!
Förresten, kanske kan Tove godkänna detta till blå måndag?

Hur kul är inte detta då? Igår berättade jag för min bästis att jag tänkte göra Totoro naglar och jag fick väldigt positiv respons på min idé. Det visade sig att hon hade köpt världens finaste urgulliga Totoro tofflor till mig i födelsedagspresent! Man kan koppla in dom i USB'n på datorn och då blir dom varma! Jag har väldigt kalla fötter, så dom passar mig bra.

Naglarna har jag gjort genom att börja med en gradient med Isadora Baby Blue (ja, jag typ älskar det lacket) och Marzipan. Sen gjorde jag lite gräs med Ciaté Mojito på alla naglar utom ringfinger. Där gjorde jag Totoro med Ciaté Vintage, Miyo Peacock, Nordic Cap NP12 och NP13.
Jag är så himla nöjd! Perfekt födelsedagsmanikyr!


Today, my friends, is my birthday. Yes, I'm turning 21 years old today. Can you imagine! Feels wierd. Twenty one. I'm really grown-up now. Just kidding, look at todays nails.
Today my nails are inspired by one of my favorite movies. Hayao Miyazaki is a genius and I love all the movies I've seen by him. I own like 10, but I want them all. Here you have nails with Totoro, from the movie My Neighbor Totoro. WATCH IT!
By the way, maybe Tove will accept this for blue monday?

How fun isn't this? Yesterday I told my bestie that I was going to do Totoro nails today and I got a really positive response on that idea. And today she gave me the cutest Totoro slippers in birthday present! You can connect them to you computer with USB and they will become heated! I have really cold feet, so they fit me perfectly.

I did the nails by starting with a gradient with Isadora Baby Blue (yes, I kinda love this polish) and Marzipan. Then I made some grass with Ciaté Mojito on all nails, except the ring finger. That's where I painted Totoro with Ciaté Vintage, Miyo Peacock, Nordic Cap NP12 and NP13.
I'm so happy with this! Perfect birthday manicure!

31DC2013 Day 20: Water Marble

Det här utmaningen får mig att testa på saker jag aldrig gjort innan. Som dagens tema, water marble. Här ser ni mitt första försök någonsin.

Ja, det är sant! Mitt absolut första försök gick hur bra som helst. Jag hade inga problem! Jag använde vatten som stått i tevattenkokaren sedan igår och ett litet glas. Så kokat rumstempurerat vatten. Inga problem alls. Jag har använt Liquid Leather, Budding Romance och First Mate, alla från China Glaze.

China Glaze is cruelty free
according to Eleven.se.
Please read my
"Animal Cruelty" page
for more information.

Och jag har tittat på miljoner youtubevideos.


This challenge makes me try things that I've never done before. Like todays theme, water marble. This is my first try ever.

Yes, it's true! My absolute first try went so incredibly well. I had no problems! I used the water that was in the electric kettle since yesterday and a little glas. So boiled room temperature water. No problems at all. I've used Liquid Leather, Budding Romance and First Mate, all from China Glaze.
And I've watched a million youtube videos.

31DC2013 Day 11: Polka Dot Nails

Hej vänner! Jag har sjukt mycket att göra idag så jag hinner knappt blogga. Det är ju galet vad lite tid det är på dygnet. 24 timmar? Humpf! Vem kom på det där egentligen?
Idag är det prickar, så prickarna jag har gjort passar hos Karins gröna onsdag!

Här är inspirationsbilden!
Basen är Nordic Cap NP13, och jag har gjort prickarna med Depend 199, Lime Crime Pastelchio (tack Maria!) och Ciaté Mojito. Självaste prickarna är lite färgstarkare i verkligheten.


Hello friends! I have so much to do today, so I barely have time to write this. It's crazy how little time it is on a day. 24 hours? Humpf! Who decided that anyway?
Today it's polka dots, so I did some dots that is perfect for Karins green wednesday!

Here's the inspiration picture!
The base is Nordic Cap NP13, and I've done the dots with Depend 199, Lime Crime Pastelchio (thank you Maria!) and Ciaté Mojito. The dots are more saturated in real life.

31DC2013 Day 4: Green - Stamping and glitter

Jag är så trött och hungrig att det är helt knäppt. Vi kör på bara va? Naglar i grönt, here you go.
Karins gröna onsdag är jag ju dessutom gärna med på. 

Vad ni ser är så enkelt som Depend 249, ett av mina favoritlack, i två lager med Nordic Cap NP12 i ett mönster från Bundle Monster BM-210, och på tumme och ringfinger ser ni två lager Depend 249, två lager Color Club Holiday Splendor och två svarta nitar från born pretty store.


I'm tired and hungry like crazy. So we just keep going, right? Nails in green, here you go!
And it's green wednesday at Karins blog to!

What you see is as simple as Depend 249, which is one of my favorites, in two coats with Nordic Cap NP12 stamped with Bundle Monster BM-210, and on my thumb and ringfinger you see two coats of Depend 249, two coats of Color Club Holiday Splendor and two black studs from born pretty store.

Green Wednesday: Onion Rings And A Sandwich

Vad är detta för knäppt, tänker ni säkert när ni läser inläggets titel. Jo, det är mitt bidrag till Karins gröna onsdag. Karin brukar inte vara så petig så jag hoppas hon godkänner dessa knäppa naglar. Det är en jelly sandwich, som fick mig att tänka på lökringar. Inte dom med lök i dock, utan dom som smakar lök.

Vi kan väl blunda för mina nagelband som råkade vara lite för torra när jag fotade naglarna? Åtminstone för långfingret? Tack.
Vad är det här för trams då? Jo, det var såhär. Jag tog en titt på mina otestade lack, och när jag snurrade på denna smörgula jelly från Deborah Lippmann tänkte jag "jäklar vad tufft med en gul jelly sandwich med grönt glitter!". Sen upptäckte jag att jag inte äger något grönt glitter med större hexagoner. Så jag improviserade.
När jag var klar skrattade jag åt mig själv. Jag hade suttit och placerat ut glitter med tandpetare och det blev ju inte alls så coolt som jag tänkte. Det blev ganska fult faktiskt.
Visst påminner det om Estrellas lökringar de hade för något år sedan? Jag älskade de där små cirklarna. Bonusbild sist i inlägget!


Layering order:
Basecoat
2 coats Deborah Lippmann Yellow Brick Road
1 coat Gina Tricot Beauty Wicked Green
1 coat OPI Pirouette My Whistle
Randomly placed green hexglitter from Born Pretty Store
1 coat Deborah Lippmann Yellow Brick Road
Topcoat


What the heck is this, you might think when you read the title of this post. Well, it's my contribution for Karin's green wednesday. Karin isn't that fussy so I hope that she approves these crazy nails. It's a jelly sandwich that made me think of onion rings. Not the ones with onion in them, though. They just taste like onions.

Can we please ignore my dry cuticles on these pictures? At least the middlefinger? Thank you.
So what is this madness? Well, it happend like this. I was looking att my untrieds and when I twisted on this buttery yellow jelly by Deborah Lippmann I though "how cool would a yellow jelly sandwich with green glitter be?!". Then I noticed that I do not own a green glitter with larger hexagons. So I improvised.
When I was done I laughed at my self. I've been placing glitter with a toothpick and it did not turn out as cool as I though. It actually turned out quite ugly. 
But doesn't it remind you of Estrellas onion rings that where sold like a year ago? I loved those little yellow circles. 
Here's a bonuspicture!

This is me playing with onion rings back in 2010.

Darling Diva Polish "T.N.T"

Nu ska jag berätta varför jag helt enkelt var tvungen att köpa AC/DC kollektionen Back In Black från Darling Diva Polish. Min pappa gillar AC/DC, väldigt mycket. Min mamma och pappa gick isär innan jag föddes så jag har växt upp med att vara hos pappa varannan helg. På vägen hem till pappa lyssnade vi ofta på AC/DC, och all möjlig annan hårdrock. Hemma hos pappa lyssnade vi på AC/DC vinyler. Åh det var så spännande att titta på vinylerna när de spelades. Så. Det har liksom blivit så att jag också gillar AC/DC, och så fort jag hör eller ser något från bandet tänker jag på min lille pappa. Han är bra allt fin han.
Idag får ni alltså se T.N.T från kollektionen.

Åh vad jag tycker om det här lacket! Det är helt fantastiskt! En svart jellybas med multikromt glitter. Eller duokromt kanske. Vad vet jag! Glittret är för det mesta orange, och det gillar ju jag. Men så vinklar man naglarna lite och så skiftar glittret från orange till grönt. Ganska djupt grönt också. Sjukt jäkla vackert!!

Darling Diva Polish is cruelty free
according to her Etsy.

"Animal Cruelty" page

Formulan var det inga problem med. Jag bär tre lager och topplack på bilderna.
Sa jag att det är vackert? Det är det. Helt galet vackert.


Now I will tell you why I needed the AC/DC inspired Back In Black collection by Darling Diva Polish. My dad likes AC/DC, a lot. My mom and my dad broke up before I was born, so I've grown up visiting my dad every other weekend. On the way home to daddies place we used to listen to AC/DC, and other similar rock. At daddies place we listen to AC/DC vinyls. Oh, it was so fun to watch the vinyl playing music. So. I kind of just happen to like AC/DC too, and everytime I hear or see something about this band, I think of my little dad. He's awesome, my dad. 
Today I have the polish called T.N.T for you.

Oh, I like this polish so much! It is fantastic! A black jelly base with multichrome glitter. Or duochrome maybe. What do I know! The glitter is orange most of the time, and I like orange. But when you tilt the nails a little bit the glitter shifts from orange to green. Pretty deep green actually. So friggin beautiful!!
There were no problems with the formula. I wear three coats and topcoat on these pictures.
Did I mention that it's beautiful? It is. So incredibly beautiful.
