Fancy Friday: Halloween

Hi Girls. The theme of today is Halloween and this is actually my first halloween many ever. It's not a thing I have ever celebrated and I don't attend many parties so that's why, but also because I live in Denmark and we don't celebrate it much.

I don't like spooky or scary things and my nails as you can see are not either, but it is beautiful and dark and have some elements of haloween. I chose to make the elements white because i feared black would make it too dark. This is the outcome:

Nail Design of art

Hi girls

Yesterday I did a guestblogpost for the danish bloggers Negle Nymfer
the direct link to the blogpost is here

I wanted to make sure that my international readers also had a possibility to see it
It is not that hard to explain that it is some advanced nail art (took me 6 hours xD) and I know most of you won't recreate this - I won't either, but I am happy I did it for this one time.

My theme was art and I was inspired of  "The Swing" by Jean-Honoré Fragonard. A true classical masterpiece that is a little fun. This is my favorite painting of all times.

Here is the pictures of my nail art: this was all done with polish as I am an idiot :P

Fancy Friday: Tutorial (Dragon Scales)

Hello again ladies

For today I decided to try to make a tutorial video!!!! The first I have ever made and therefore not perfect or anything, but I am very proud of the outcome. (Even though it is a little blurry (sadly youtube made it that way), my breathing is annoying and my very slow way of speaking English) xD

My design today is almost the same as this I did for my Toothless inspired mani

Nail Design: Diwali for Roberta

Hello dear readers :)

A few days ago I was "invited" to a "birthday party" for sweet BobPlaysWithPolish. She asked people to make a Diwali design and she would share it on her blog the 23th of October.
I thought this was such a great idea that I immediately wanted to participate. Luckily Google is my friend, as I had never heard about the Diwali festival, you can reed about it here.

In short Diwali is a Hindu celebration. In English it is known as "the festival of lights".
The participants decorate their homes with patterns as Rangoli, they dress up, they light up lamps and candles and pray typically to Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth and prosperity). And they eat and exchange gifts.
Or at least that's what Wikipedia says :)

The outcome was this:

Swatch: Cadillacquer "Survivor"

A quick review for today folks

From swatches of this I though that this would be essential for fall and bought it.

I new it was dark but still expected it to be a convincing purple, but I am a little sad that this turned out to be much more dark than on the pretty pictures I have seen. It is a little too dark for my taste and is a crelly formular so it needs three coats to be opaque but it is a little troubellling to get even coverage all over the nail is you aren't very fixed about this. This could have been much better in my opinion

 

Fancy Friday: Awareness

Hi ladies

The theme of today is breast cancer awareness. I didn't make a design for this any of the other years and the only reason why I post something today I because I did this mani a long time ago and never got around to posting it.

I wore this first in September when I started on my education because I wanted to wear something light, neutral and girly. I love my nails and I like when people admires them, but when meeting new people that may not be intrigued, I didn't want my nails to take the focus away from my person.

Swatch: Picture Polish Picks - part 2

*Go to part 1 HERE <3*

And on with the swatches ;)

For today I will show "Majesty", "Monroe", "Pirouette" and "Antique"
I have bought Picture Polish from NorwayNails, cleanskin.dk and color4nails

Nail design: Tootless inspired mani

Well, I am just crazy about the "How to train your Dragon" movies. Dreamworks make so creative works now a days and this is no exception in my opinion. Just look at this collage I made with pictures of toothless, he is adorable and I want one for my self (but that may be a bit hard....).

But I decided I wanted to do a manicure inspired by him.

(photos of Toothless has been found on google and all are snapshots from the movie itself, so the credit still goes to Dreamworks)

So this is the outcome of my experiment:

I wanted to focus on Toothless' scales as I think it's a great effect that they are much more shiny than rest of him. On the thumb I did a little more advanced nail art.

Fancy Friday: Cake Decoration Day

Hi ladies, today the theme of fancy friday is something with cakes and decorations. Well I love both things and as I seached the internet for inspiration the idea just hit me.

Yes I have made cupcakes yet again..... (but how can you blame me!!!<3)
But but but... as i finished the design it got more and more clear that this could actually have been a wedding manicure - at least a good candidate for my own future wedding manicure.
Here is the design:

Autumn Shoes

I finally had some money so spend on my poor feet that usually walks around in shitty shoes. I wanted something practical, stylish, feminine, classic and neutral, and I found just the two pairs that are all that and more!

These are the shoes:

 

Shoe//Design Copenhagen - 599 DKK

This is a very simple black leather shoe that goes with every outfit I can think of. It is not very feminine but it is stylish, neutral and classic and a bit different because of the crinkled leather. The heel is made from rubber which makes it better to walk on compared to horrible things as wood as so many compagnies use for shoe heels... I simply can't walk on wood that way). The shoes are easy to get in and you can be out of the door in no time

Sixmix shoes - 599 DKK
These dark brown leather shoes are very feminine and a little higher than the first pair, but this too have a really good rubber heel and I actually walks better in these than the other pair. They don't look that practical but they certantly feel that way. They also have a soft fluffy lining inside the shoe so they will keep me warm. They need a little adjusting because of the laces but they have a zipper on the other side so then you have adjusted the shoe the first time you don't need to worry about it again.
These have a much more classical feminine feel and they are my favorites of these two pairs.

Both pairs where bought at the store Havanna Shoes at the street Strøget in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Fancy Friday: Party Manicure

Let me just start to say that I am not a party girl and if this is not a trend anymore I have no way to know, but I hope the design makes sense anyway.For this design I was inspired by glowsticks. The few parties I attended at my High School involved these weird glowing sticks and they where everywhere. So I brought my neons out of the closet and added the neons randomly over white lines I had made over a dark purple base.
I now see that I could have made some lines a little better with some correcting, so I think I must have been very tired when I made this. Sorry for that
