OMD Challenge Giveaway: Glitter

Hi everyone!

First things first… I’m looking for you! Yes, I’d like to sport your manicure here on my blog. I’ve had another terrible nail break and am now down to nubbins *sad face*. So I figured I need to give them some time to grow back and in the meantime I’ll give them a bit extra care and treatment. If you’d like a place on my blog please let me know so that we can work on a guest post 😀

On to my Glitter mani for the ‘Oh Mon Dieu! It’s the Rather Awesome 31 Day Challenge Giveaway’:glitterFor the base I used Jewel by Koh. Then I created a glitter gradient with Gene Doll by piCture pOlish. I think this color combo turned out pretty.

Even when I didn’t completed every single day of this challenge (please bare with me), I’ve had super much fun joining! Thanks to Eeeek!, Crafty and Brijit for hosting this great event! I can’t wait to see who the lucky winners will be 😀

As soon as my nails have grown back to a (for me) acceptable length, I will be back full power with fresh mani’s and tutorials! In the mean time, please let me know if you’d like to create a guest post for me 😀

OMD Challenge Giveaway: Flowers

Good morning or afternoon, evening depending on were you are at the world 😀

Here’s my Flower mani for the ‘Oh Mon Dieu! It’s the Rather Awesome 31 Day Challenge Giveaway’. I adore floral manicures. They have something cheerful and summery 😀flowers
I created this with three shades of ANNY’s newest collection. When I have the collection complete (three more to go) I’ll swatch them for you. I absolutely love this collection! It’s very summery!
The blue base color is called Blue love. The flowers petals are made with Sunset dreaming (corally orange) and Princess of waves (soft corally orange). And lastly I added some white dots with a basic white polish. I really like how this turned out. It makes me so happy for some reason 😀

zHave a great day!

OMD Challenge Giveaway: Stripes

Hi lacquerheads!

First, as promised I added a tutorial for the flower petals mani that I did for the Purple theme. You can check it out here 😉

For the Stripes theme of the ‘Oh Mon Dieu! It’s the Rather Awesome 31 Day Challenge Giveaway’ I thought of doing a striping tape mani. But the weather is so warm that the polish dries twice at fast. So that might ruin it. Therefore I kept it simple:stripesThe base color is Green Gargantuan Grape by OPI. I’m so in love with this polish! Although it’s formula is on the thin side it is so easy to work with. I used two easy coats here. Then I added some stripes with a small nail art brush and the following colors:
Bond With Whomever by Essie
Princess by ANNY
white striper polish.

I think this turned out pretty. And it is so easy to do 😀

Ps. I’ll skip the dots and stars themes and try to catch up later this month. I’m dying to do another flower mani and I don’t want to get way behind again. Tomorrow I’ll show you my flower mani.

OMD Challenge Giveaway: Metallic

Hi loves!

This is my second post today since I’m still behind with the ‘Oh Mon Dieu! It’s the Rather Awesome 31 Day Challenge Giveaway’. I’ve been cracking my head over what to do for the Metallic theme. At first I thought of doing a foiled mani, but it turns out that foil + me = a disaster. But I was determent on using foil so I just gave it a another try (read: ‘my way’). Here’s a ‘my way of using foil’ mani:metallicThis is red foil called Scarlet Frost over one coat of No Place Like Chrome by Essie. This was really a ten minute mani because of two things. First of all No Place Like Chrome dries super fast. And secondly I just went all crazy with dabbing on the foil 😀 I think it turned out pretty cool, isn’t it? It looks a bit like the scattered polishes that were going around a while back. Or is it to much of a Holiday mani? Oh well, I like it.

Ps. I’ve ignored my thumb in my pics for a while because… again… a corner has broken off. Ugh! So you probably won’t see my thumb for a while 😉

zI’m almost on schedule girls! Working on it 😀

OMD Challenge Giveaway: Textured

Remember that I told you about my doubts about whether to buy OPI’s Solitaire or not? Well, after seeing so much swatches I couldn’t resist. And I thought the Textured theme of the ‘Oh Mon Dieu! It’s the Rather Awesome 31 Day Challenge Giveaway’ is the perfect opportunity to share it with you. I’m so happy with it! I simply love it:textured opi solitaireShown here is two coats without top coat. What do you think of this one?
