Birthday nails featuring CirqueColors "Mirror Mirror"

Hello girls.

Today is a big day for me, I am turning 25 today so I kind of have a jubilee in life itself today :P I seems like the only person in my surroundings that thinks that is special these days, but that doesn't matter cause I am going to spend the day with my sweet boyfriend <3

The nails for today had to be spectacular of cause, but I was challenged as I didn't had much time to do my nails this week and on top of that I didn't know which dress to wear for my little party tomorrow. So I ended up with a simple mani using CirqueColors limited edition silver flake polish "Mirror Mirror" and added black ribbons and bows for a sophisticated touch of lovely presents. I love this even though it is so simple, so happy with my choice. Here is a picture of the mani:

Swatch - Serum No. 5 "A Cup Of Teal"

Hello girls.

Here is some quick swatch photos for you to see of this pretty shade from Serum No. 5, "A Cup Of Teal". I bought this polish when NorwayNails had a sale around new year. I had had my eyes on it for a while cause I own a pink version from a little random brand and that I absolutely love, I was just in doubt about if I needed this type of holo in a light blue, but I am happy I finally decided to buy it.
It is an easy two coater so it's a pleasure to work with. Here is a direct link to where I bought the polish.

Guestpost: Carla from Seductive Nails

Hello readers. Today I have a guestpost for you. Carla was one of the winners of my Secret Christmas Giveaway, and although it took soo long for the polish to reach her she was happy to make a review and manicure to show us :)
As her blog is in spanish she have made the guestpost in both English and Spanish. Thank you so much sweet Carla for your beautiful work! On with her post:

Hi! It's Carla from www.seductivenails.blogspot.com.ar. It's a pleasure to prepare a guest post for Amalie, actually it's the first time I do a guest post, so I hope you enjoy it :)
Hola! Soy Carla del blog www.seductivenails.blogspot.com.ar. Es un gusto poder preparar un guest post para Amalie, en realidad es la primera vez que lo hago, así que espero que les guste :)

Picture4Last month I won her giveaway and last week I received her package with the prize: China Glaze 'The Outer Edge' inside of it. I don't know if you have it, but I was very impressed when I saw it because it resembles snow really well. It is made of opaque white microglitters and, apart from that, it has tiny holo particles, which makes it more 'wintery'.

Fancy Friday: Inspired by another member

Hi girls
Today the theme was tricky in the way that there was soooo many possibilities. But finally I found a manicure that I really wanted to try. The mani I was inspired by was this Peter Pan manicure from Louise and her blog JustPolishIt. I love the idea of this manicure, but at the same time I think she did it perfect, so I didn't want to do the same manicure. So the outcome became a skyline mani, and probably New York and not London is the location. I am pretty satisfied even though it got much less "fantastic" and down to earth now that there isn't any flying boys ;) But there are some pretty stars. Here are the outcome:

Nail design: Pigeon Poop

I know this is extremely weird, but you know that time when you lay in your bed and can't sleep? Then you get a great or somewhat crazy idea because you are on the edge of sleeping?

I was lying and thinking about an impossible polish, Essie "Sew Psyched". My history with this polish is that I have bought it, sold it, bought it again and thought about selling it again. I was about to convince myself to sell it when I remembered the only time I have worn it for a manicure. It was in 2012 and my boyfriend said it looked like pigeon poop.... and then it hit me. Here is the outcome:

Fancy Friday: Striping tape

Hi girls

We have had this theme before, but last time I was not happy with the outcome and I have deleted the post from my blog. I have never since done a design with use of striping tape, so I guess it was time for me to learn it. Here is my design for today:

Fancy Friday: One color, three shades

Hi girls

As a storm is passing Denmark today I experienced both wind, hail and enormous amounts of rain in the very short time I was out today getting to and from school.

I originally had something else in my mind for today that messed up and had one of those days where all I tried just didn't work. So actually I made this manicure some time ago and I wasn't going to use it (because I wanted to do a better rain inspired design), but as I told about the weather it matches so great that I show it anyway. Here is the manicure:

Swatch: Kiko Sugar Mat "454"

Today I have a sadly limited edition Kiko texture polish to show you. I have to, I'm so sorry, but it is a favorite of mine so it needs to be shared.

As you can see it is a purple-berry texture polish with pink glass fleck shimmer. It is a perfekt two coater and the rest you can see in the photos. It dries perfectly textured

Ready for flower designs yet?

Well maybe it is too soon, but then you will have some inspiration for the spring so I hope you read on :)

I made this mani in the fall and got so busy that I didn't got to show the design. I was inspired by a flower design on a shirt but it became something else so I don't want to show that. I simply just sat and painted the flowers with some nail art brushes and had fun doing it. Here is the design:
