Fancy Friday: The Leadlight Technique

Hi girls

Then it is time for another Fancy Fridag mani. I have tried leadlight twice before and you definitely need to go and check those manies out. You can find them here and here.

I love the technique as it easily can make a stamping mani softer and sweeter. I have seen most people using a black stamp with this technique, but as I was not very fond of that in the beginning and that's why my first two designs are stamped with complimenting colors. I still like that way the best, but I decided that I had to try to make it work with a black stamp. I think the outcome for today does, but it is too harsh for me for everyday.
I love the stamping plate though. It is number 22 from MoYou London's Explorer collection. But it is too summery for this season, I need more winter-ish plates that can be used for leadlight! If you have any in mind I should check out, please write to me in the comments :D

See for yourself :)

Swatch Wednesday: Dollish Polish "Anybody Want a Peanut"

Hi girls

Woohoo the blog is up and running. There is still some issues, so it's not done yet, but it's working :)

Today it a quick swatch post of the lovely Dollish Polish "Anybody Want A Peanut?"

It is a gorgerous pinky-nude base with coniak brown and dark brown glitters in different sizes. A little yellow circle glitter  ans very small gold glitter is also in there.

It takes three easy coats to be fully opaque. Two coats is also fine as it levels out pretty easy, but in that way you will see visible nail line.

Fancy Friday: Favorite Type of Mani

Hi Ladies

Today the theme was favorite polish or technique
I can't pick a favorite. I love too many polishes and my favorite techniques are polka dots, gradient mani and stamping. Techniques that are easy, pretty and quickly can spice up a plain polish.

I picked stamping for today. I also did that Wednesday you say, yes I did. Stamping is a technique I like best in periods. Recently I received some new MoYou London Stamping Plates and a new stamper, so I was eager to try those out - and at the same time I am kind of stressed out at the time, so stamping fits excellent for how the world spins around right now for me.This is the design of today:

Fancy Friday: Fan Brush Striped Manicure

Hello girls

Today I tried the fanbrush/sugarspun technique for fancy friday. If you want to see a how to guide I would recommend you to see this video tutorial from Demelza's World on Youtube. There are many great guides but this shows that kind of dry-fanbrush technique that i also used. I did it that way because I don't like stripes and I am happy that it got so random and rought by using a dry fanbrush for this.

 

This is my design:

Swatch Wednesday: Snow polishes

Both polishes released recently in 2014

Leaves nail art

For today I want to show some simple nail art I did inspired by leaves. I actually intended to make vine leaves but I had some trouble with that and decided to make something more of you may be able to recreate.

You just need to be able to control a brush that well that you can make some tiny branches and some tiny leaves. Of cause that is very hard for some, and the only thing I can say to that is: Practise and you will get better. If you don't have the patience for learning you will never get better, so it's really all in your mind I think.

On to the design of the day:
