Ocean blue gradient nails with glitter

Another gradient for you :)

I love these manis, because they look like it took forever to do and yet they are so simple to do. Now I have spiced this one up with some blue glitter at the bottem of my nail, which took time, but the gradient didn't.

Let me know what you think of it?


The polishes used in this nail art design are:

  1. Gosh: 597 - Miss Minty 
  2. maybeline: Cool Blue
  3. Maybeline: Ocean Blue 
  4. Hot Makeup: Stars and dots (the blue glitter)
  5. Silver glitter from H&M, no name 
I also did a video for this look - well almost this look. I only did the blue glitter on the ring finger and the silver on the rest :) But here you can see how I did it.

Fire Gradient Nails

Today I have made a warm gradient look on my nails. I have had some difficulties in learning how to do a beautiful gradient, but think that I have finally nailed it ;)

This look is made with four different colored nail polishes, a white one and a make-up sponge, topped off with a gold glitter, to give it some sprakle. I love the look of it, and think I will wear it often this summer. It reminds me of the sun and fire :)


The colors i have used are:

The red polish: OPI's Red hot Rio
The orange: Sweet Orange by Laura Clauvi
The darkest yellow: Electric yellow by Maybeline
Light yellow: OPI's Can't cope-acabana

Daisy nails - tutorial nail art

Hey guys

So here is another summery look for your nails - Daisies :)

I just love the look of the daisies and tried to do them on my nails, and they came out so beautiful. For this look I used OPI's Can't cope-acabana, which is the lovely yellow. The flowers are made with acrylic paint


Here is the tutorial on how I did it:
  1. Paint your nails a solid yellow 
  2. mark the center of the daisy
  3. Paint the petals with a black paint
  4. Fill the petals with a white paint 
  5. and that's it :)

Beautiful flowers - water decals. Print at home

Hey guys

Now I have applied the decals, so you can see them in action. You can find the template or them in the bottom of this post.

This time I have made two different ones. One with color and one without, so you have the option of coloring the flowers in your chosen polish - or simple just to do a one-color thing :)




So I started with a white base color and then transferred the decals with colors. Love them and their summery-feel :)

here are the decals for you. Just click the picture and then save-as.

 

Decal preview - flowers :)

Hi guys :)

I just wanted yo give you a little preview before they are uploaded. Currently waiting for them to dry, so I can apply them on my nails :)

Summer spring nails with flowers

Yesterday evening I made these summery-looking nails.

However, they kinda turned out looking like a kid on 5 did them - can't figure out whether that cute, or just a re-do. What do you think?

They are made with a beautiful blue from maybeline, though. And their polishes are not that expensive, which is wonderful.

Pearl and neon pink gradient with silver leaf

Did a simple pearl and neon pink gradient today

Very simple and cute looking, and reminds me of summer :)


Summer sunflowers - tutorial

Hey guys :)

Yesterday I tried the popular sunflower mani that is spreading on the social media. The look is so fun and summery.

This is the final look I got - and I was quite happy with it


For this blog post I did a picture on the different steps I took to make the look - I hope this is helpful 
You can do the flowers in many different ways, as you see I did on my nails. 

Tutorial:
  1. Paint your nails a light blue for the base color
  2. make a simple gradient with a make-up sponge with a darker blue
  3. Use a small brush and a yellow to make the base of the sunflowers 
  4. paint the center of the flower with a brown nail polish
  5. blend in some black and a dark red to give some more definition
  6. Add some orange strokes to the flower petals 
  7. And you are done - finish with a top coat to protect the design and make your mani last longer

Simple lace design - nails

Hey guys :)

Today I made this cute and simple lace design. I think it would be so pretty for the wedding season and the confirmations at this time of year.


What I did was a normal French manicure with white tips. I then made small white dots underneath the tips on all nails, but the thumb. On the thumb a hand-painted the lace, by making three half circles and then three bigger half circles. Finish it of with small dots under the half circles.

Eurovision 2014 - easy and simple nails

Hey guys

Yesterday I saw the popular show; Eurovision with more than 170 mill. Viewers worldwide and to celebrate I painted my nails with some basic music notes, a flag and a heart. Being from Denmark the flag was the Danish, of course :)
 - we placed as number 9, so that was okay :) 

I started with a white base color on all nails. Then with striping tape and black paint, I created the lines. Thereafter, I used a dotting tool and a thin brush for the notes. The flag was also created with striping tape and a red polish, from OPI – red hot Rio, which was the same color I used for the heart. I cut the heart from regular tape and placed it over my thumb and traced the heart with black paint using a thin brush  


I watched the show with my boyfriend, good food and wine. 
How did you celebrate?

the technique is super simple and they look so cute and pretty.

for this manicure I used:

OPI - Don't bossa nova me around (the base color)
OPI - Live.Love.Carneval
