Hi ya'll! Whatchadoin'?
Today it's day 24 and the manicure is inspired by a book!

Today my inspiration was the book A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I read the book when I was about 13 years old and I loved it. I couldn't find any pictures but I remember that the cover of the book I read was pink, so I used that as an inspiration.
The story has some really stereotypical princess parts, which also inspired me, plus the sparkling stories and the imagination. I really like this book, and I will definitely read it once more.

For the manicure I used OPI Hey Baby, Smitten Polish This Is My Tiara (I just had to use it!), China Glaze Friends Forever, Right? and Cult Nails Angel Whispers. I also used some rhinestones and a nail sticker. (Thank you so much Andrea!)

#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!

#31DC2014 | Day 19 - Galaxies

- 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 guys! How are you doing? It's Wednesday and it's raining here in Sweden. The weather has been cold and grey all day, typical fall weather.
Wanna see something not so grey and cold? The theme for day 19 is galaxies!

I decided to do colorful, bright and almost a bit pastel-ish galaxies this time. I absolutely LOVE this manicure. I wish I could peel it of in little sheets and save it for later. Yes, that's really gross.

The base of this manicure is two coats of China Glaze Tart-y For The Party. It's a beautiful lilac-ish purple creme with perfect formula. Then I put on one thin coat of Darling Diva Dangerous Driver. I started making the galaxy by sponging OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls randomly on the nails. I continued the sponging with Make Up Store Nicklas, Darling Diva Maxed Out, Glacial Springs and Sparkling Orchid, both from Smitten Polish. I added stars with a tiny dotting tool, a tiny nail art brush and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

Do you like this kind of galaxy or do you prefer more traditional galaxies?

Winter Is Coming Stampicure

Hej allihopa! Jag är ledsen för bristen på inlägg här, men vi har fortfarande inte fått internet. Det fungerar förhoppningsvis nu i veckan.
Jag har haft mycket att göra och jag har precis fått i ordning på mitt rum, så nu har jag äntligen en plats för nail art och fotostudion!
Nu har det helt plötsligt blivit december, och jag har en vintrig manikyr att visa. Ta er en titt!

Det var såhär att jag tänkte börjat med en ny nail art challenge, men det blev inte av. Och då frågade jag min bästis Jennie Lee om inspirationshjälp. Hon föreslog att jag skulle göra något som såg ut som frost, eller sprucken is, eller något liknande. Vi tittade igenom mina stämpelplattor och valde Bundle Monster BM-208.
Jag började med att måla OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls på alla naglar, ett lager på tumme och pekfinger och två på de övriga. Därefter målade jag två lager Winter Is Coming från Smitten Polish på tumme och pekfinger. Winter Is Coming är ett underbart vitt jelly lack med blått glitter i olika storlekar, hexagoner och småttsmått glitter. Jag upplever att lite av glittret är prismatiskt. Det var inga problem med applikationen.

All of the polishes in this post
are cruelty free.
Please read my
"Animal Cruelty" page
for more information.

Sedan stämplade jag mönstret med IsaDora Baby Blue på de övriga naglarna. Jag gillar verkligen Baby Blue.
Resultatet blev fint tycker jag. Enkelt och elegant på något vis.
Två lager topplack på glitternaglarna och ett på de andra.



Hi everyone! I'm so sorry for the lack of posts here, but we still got no internet. Hopefully it will work this week.
I had a lot to do and I recently finished with organizing my room, so now I finally have a place for nail art and my photostudio!
Suddenly it was december, and I have a winter-ish manicure to show you. Take a look!

I was going to start a new nail art challenge, but it never happened. And I asked my bestie Jennie Lee for help with the inspiration. She suggested that I should do something that looked like frost, or breaking ice, or something like that. We went through my stamping plates and picked Bundle Monster BM-208.
I started with painting my nails with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls on every nail, one coat on thumb and pointer and two on the rest. After that I painted two coats of Winter Is Coming by Smitten Polish on my thumb and pointer. Winter Is Coming is a wonderful white jelly polish with blue glitter in different sizes, hexagons and tinytiny glitter. I experience that some of the glitter is prismatic. There where no problems with application.
Then I stamped the pattern with IsaDora Baby Blue on the other nails. I really like Baby Blue.
I think that the result is reallt pretty. Kind of Simple and elegant.
Two coats of topcoat on the glitter nails and one on the rest.

Haul: Glitter & holo - with macros!

Hej! Jag bor i flyttkaos just nu. Men det är okej! Jag har varit och tittat på lägenheten och den är faktiskt riktigt fin. Vi hade tur för tapeterna var hemska, men mamma ringde och frågade om det var dags att måla om snart. Det hade dom inte tänkt på. Men i förrgår när vi var där så var det målargrejer överallt. Mitt rum är klart, helt vita väggar, mörkbrun golvlist och typ lite persikofärgad plastmatta. Låter kanske inte jättefint, men det är väldigt fräscht och rent. Jag kan alltså slänga in mitt orangevita skrivbord och hänga upp min orangea hylla utan problem. Yay!

I veckan har jag fått lite nagellack. Så jag tänkte visa dem för er. Jag är rätt dålig på att visa nya grejer. Men nu får ni alltså se!


Hi! I live in a moving chaos right now. But it's okay! I've looked at the appartment and it's actually really nice. We were lucky, 'cause the wallpaper was horrible, but my mom called and asked if they planned to paint the walls soon. That was not the plan. But when we were there two days ago there were paintingstuff everywhere. My room was already finished. White walls, dark brown skirting(?) and kinda peachy plastic floor. May not sound pretty but it is really fresh and clean. I can throw in my orange and white desktop and my orange shelf without any problem. Yay!

This week I got some nail polish. So I thought that I could show them here. I'm kind of bad at showing new stuff here. But now you'll see!
