Swatch: Models Own "Roman Candle"

Hi girls, today I have a new years polish to show you. It is a Models Own polish from their Fireworks collection from 2013, and therefore not a new polish. I got it at the time it came out but I didn't get to wear it for new years (as I got a better idea s you can see in last years blogpost), so thats why I will swatch and review it now.

First a picture:

Fancy Friday: Favorite Manicures of 2014

Hi girls

New year is coming right at us. It's crazy time goes past so quick. I used to think a year was such a long time, but now it seems like there is mush less time between Christmas. Well maybe I'm only enjoying life more than I did as a child. Any of you feel this way?

But for today I want to show you my favorite manicures of the year. I have, since I began to use a better camera, been batter at doing manicures I think and I have taken blogging a lot more serious since I moved the blogs domain, so naturally many of these manicures are newer ones, but I forced myself to include some older ones. So lets begin. Here is a collage:

Merry Christmas

Hi girls :D
Yesterday was our Christmas (here in denmark we celebrate it the 24th December) so here is some pictures from my Christmas eve. I where at my boyfriends family this year and tomorrow we are going to my family to celebrate.

This was my nails:
ILNP "Very Ornamental" and a little nail art - very simple as I didn't had time to do something amazing

Present and Christmas star

For today I have another variation of a christmas manicure using the same presant on my ring finger as in the Christmas manicure from last Fancy Friday - see that here.
I wanted to do a more golden design and therefore the supplement to the red is a red Poinsettia, the flower we in Denmark call a "Christmas Star".

Fancy Friday: Christmas Presents

So today the theme is Christmas presents. I got an idea to use two A-england polishes I haven't got to use since I got them a month ago, so I only did one present and rest of the nails are christmas tree themes with ornament-dots. So that's how that is :) See for yourself:

The Snowman Mani

Do any of you know "The Snowman"? I guess a lot of you do, but if not you can watch it on youtube here.
I loved to watch it year after year, especially because of the song (when winter hits us I think it is a great song to sing in the bath haha!)

So I wanted to do a mani inspired by it. Here is the outcome:

Swatch: ILNP - Very Ornamental

Hi girls

Again a ultra quick swatch post, this time of the ILNP shade "Very Ornamental"

A perfect pink toned true red linear holographic polish. Two coats it all you need for such a mani.

I always look out for reds that are brught and the right tone for my skin, I think it is pretty hard to find a obvious red polish that fits my skintone, but this does and it is so bright and sexy!

Perfect christmas polish!

*Remember my giveaway!*

 

Fancy Friday: Inspired by Christmas Food

Hi girls. The theme os today was awesome as it allows a lot of creativity. I orginally wanted to do something with Flæskesteg (the danish traditional Christmas dinner) but it is not a particularly pretty dish... So I though about Risalamande instead.

Remember my giveaway!

I can't imagine a Christmas without Risalamande, and it's funny because I didn't like it when I was a child. But as wikipedia says Risalamande "is made out of rice pudding mixed with whipped cream, vanilla, and chopped almonds; and is usually served cold with a cherry sauce". YUMMMMYYYYYY!!!!

So I did a marble manicure and got this design:

Swatch: Femme Fatale "Gilded Rose"

Hi girls
For NorwayNails Black Friday sale I finally bought Femme Fatale "Gilded Rose". I have been thinking about buying it for so long and it has actually been on sale for quite some time. But now it is finally mine and I am ready to review it for you.

Before the review, here is a picture:

Celebration of hearts Manicure

Hi girls REMEMBER MY GIVEAWAY!
Yesterday (December 7) me and my boyfriend had been together for four years, and we love to do something special about the day so of cause I needed a cute mani with lots of hearts - and in Danish we call Christmas the celebration of hearts (I don't know if that goes for the rest of the world) so the mani of today also goes great with the Christmas theme of the month. It is a simple double accent nail with hearts and dots in three colors.

This is my design:

Fancy Friday: Christmas Ornaments

Hello :D REMEMBER MY GIVEAWAY!

I am a litle late with the fancy friday challenge today, I know, I know, but I left my camera at my boyfriends house so it was impossible to get good pictures.

I want to do this very short. My inspiration for this is some christmas decorations I sat up in my flat about two years ago, and I love them so much that they have stayed on the wall ever since XD.
This is my design:

Owl nail art

Hi girls REMEMBER MY GIVEAWAY!

Well I have seen so many sweet owl manicures over the years but actually only did a owl design back this summer when I was inspired by my bathingsuit, you can see that design here. But that was very colorful and although I loved it, I wanted to do a owl mani for fall - but I had too much pressure and forgot about it. Then I recieved A-Englands "Sleeping Palace". I had seen many swatches, but it was when I saw my good instagram friend @lacquerice s swatch photos that I decided to get it. And I don't know about you, but I think this polish scream for a little owl mani :P

Here is my result:
