Finally!

Yeah, so I was supposed to update my blog with some new tutorials last week until I realized that my boyfriend to my laptop on a trip out of the country.
On that laptop was all my photos of the tutorials I wanted to share with you all.

I really had a hard time remebering where a had the photos and I searched like an idiot for them, with no luck ofcourse. I feel alot better now that I know the photos are still in my poses and not deleted.

But, for today I just got photos of my nails as they look at the moment.
Boyfriend did come home last night, so now I can promise you: There will be tutorials coming right up. Until then, enjoy this nail art I did today.

Have a nice evening ^.^

Hello, sweet sweet candy!

Yes, I just love sweets and candy nail art. This design is a bit difficult to do, so I skiped the tutorial. But when I finished the nails I realized I should have done one for the background.
No hard feelings thou, because I have a bunch of tutorials coming soon.
These nails are as pretty as a sweet summer breeze.

For the background I have used Isadoras Marzipan in a french manicure except for ring finger where I covered the hole nail.
Then I got Depends 246, the one I like to call The perfekt pink, and did 2 stripes on each finger from the tip up except on ring finger where I did them side to side.
After all that I put on a top coat and some cuticle oil.
I got that design on for a couple of days now and it still looked flawless.
But this saterday we’re going to a big party and I thought the nails needed something extra, and extra I did.

I began sculpting in acrylic on some forms. 1 flower, 2 flowers, a bow, lace, hearts and candy. Then I thought: Why not glue them onto the nails.

And here’s the result:
The right hand with flowers, a bow and lace with green rhinestones:

And the left hand with the hearts, candy and a stone with glitter I made out of acrylic surrounded with rhinestones and beads:

This was a fun nail art. And I might do a tutorial for acrylic sculpting. But that’s just a big maybe.
Stay tuned for more easy nail art tutorials. Have a nice evening ^.^

Boys want nail art too

Yeah! Men want nails!

Got a special call from my sister in law’s boyfriend today. He wanted one of his nails painted with a skull.
My first thought: ohh heeeell nooo! But I did it and for being my first skull nail art I think I did really good.

To bad the picture not showing the proper dept with the shadowed parts.

Until next time ^.^

Yeah ok, here it goes.

I’ve been telling you that I have had a lot to do lately and here comes the story, so for you who don’t have the urge to read you can move on.

I’ve been feeling very low lately. Mostly because some shitty things that’s family related. My mothers sister died in cancer about 3 weeks ago after 4 years of fighting it. She was 1 year younger then me and many questions have swirled around in head. Also been busy in phone talking about life in general with my mom, and tried to be a support for her.

That have taking a lot of time from my “normal” days routine. But now that everything has settled I feel relaxed, but my nail inspiration has fled the scene.
So, as you have seen it has been some easy to do designs and maybe not the best updates at all on the blog, but know you know why.

In the middle of all of that, we got an urgent call. A friend of my sister in law needed someone to take their dog since they couldn’t take care of her anymore.
Said and done, of course we said we could take her in and see if she was a dog for us.
Sadly, we both (my boyfriend and I) agreed last night that this is not a dog for us. Even how cute and cuddly she is, always want to snuggle and lay beside you in the sofa, we just cant take here in.
The cat disagrees a lot, and its not the kind of dog we wanted since we are out of the home a lot. So with sad puppy eyes we have to leave her back to the owners.
And I really hope that they find a home she deserves, because she just amazing and really cute.

Have a nice day all, and I hope I get my inspiration for nails back soon. ^.^

Took a nap

So, for this design you really ( I mean, R E A L L Y ) need to be lazy. Paint your nails in favourite polish. Once first coat has dried put a second coat on. Then take a nap. Tada done!

It’s going just great right now, juuuuust great ( keep breathing…. 1….2….3)
Well have a nice evening all and hope you all doing better then me ^.^

Lazy days

Yep, lazy or not. I’ve acctually been doing loads of stuff.

B U T, I’m to lazy for updating the blog but felt that I really should. But I’m probably gonna give you a more interesting review of whats going on soon.

Had fun with a new app on my phone. And I might even buy it so I can get the high quality option for my photos.

So, the totorial for this is shit easy. Paint nails in base coat and favourite color. Add stickers and top coat. Aaand done ^.^

Have a nice evening ^.^

Wooden Nail art tutorial

Its time for another tutorial. This time my inspiration was wood. I like the wooden textures and all the different kinds of brown tones and pattern there is.

So here´s my wooden nails.

What you will need:

Base coat (not in the picture), Nude-, brown-, black-, red-, gold-, yellow- polish and matte top coat.

You can do this with just a bunch of brown tones also, but since I didn’t have that I mixed my own tones of brown.

 

1. Start of with base coat and your nude polish. This nude are from elf-cosmetics and this is one of my absolutely favorites among the nudes Iv’e tried.

 

2. Bring out one of your lighter brown polish or mix your own like me. I mixed dark brown with yellow and gold. Draw lines in a wooden pattern and if you doesn’t know any wooden patter you can google it and find loads of wooden textures. You have to work quite fast so the polish wont get dry and mess up your design. Another trick is to poor a small amount of polish on a wax paper, foil or paper plate and paint one nail at the time.

 

3. Next up is to take another brown polish darker to the one you just used. I mixed red, brown and gold for a more darker and red-toned appearance. Remember That the lines doesn’t have to be neat and perfect. And don’t be afraid to be a bit unsteady and shaky on your hand, that will only make it more naturally.

 

4. Now to the black part. Iv’e just added a few stripes to make a depth to the design, making it look like shadow.

 

5. To finish this of top and seal your design with a matte top coat and your done.

 

 

Hope you’ve liked this tutorial and have a nice weekend. ^.^

Looking back

I just got a little nostalgic.

Was looking through my blog posts and saw how long I have come. Have much better I have become and where I´m heading. I´m amazed of how much I have done, and where I stand at this very moment.

I had some ups and downs, but this blog actually kept me going on, knowing that I´m good at what I do. This blog has strengthen me, made me stronger and made me believe in myself.

When started this blog back in august last year I had no idea what this would mean to me. Sure, I had some monthly lacks of post, started out with an huge amount of updates and was really excited. It turned out to be a job that I wasn’t getting paid for. So I had to tone it down, making less updates and just concentrate on what I really loved. Nail art.

During this period I’ve also been sick, both in physical and mental. The mental sickness took over a lot of times and during those periods I didn’t update at all.

Overall I just want to say a  B I G  Thank You for still following me and not giving up on me, even thou my mind play tricks on me some times.

 

 

Ohh, I´ve also added a category for all the tutorials I have and for future ones.

Have a nice day ^.^

Not only nails…

I do not only do nails, I also do my hair (apperently).
I got so tired of my big messy hair that I had to do something about it. And with a hairdresser being to expensive and me never being happy with the haircut, I decided to do it my self.
Looked up some tutorials on youtube and got going.
Here before and after pics, guess wich is wich :p

Cartoon nails – Tutorial.

Yep, yet another tutorial up. I got such a great respond to my last tutorial I though I´d do another one.

This is a Cartoon nail art that  I’ve seen a lot around the internet. But it wasn’t until Cutepolish did them on her YouTube channel that I got hoked.

You can find her channel on YouTube here and here tutorial here. And also on Instagram: @Cutepolish.

So what you need is:
Base coat, Pink polish, Black polish, White polish and matte top coat. I’ve seen girls using other background colors for this as well, so don’t be afraid to choose yellow or blue for that purpose.

I used: Depend nr: 346 for my pink, Black and White nail art paint from kissUSA and matte top coat from ELF.

1. So start with your base coat and your base color.

2. With your black polish and draw a line around the nail to border them. Cutepolish has some tips and trix for this in her video.

3. Take your white polish and make a fake shine on one of the sides of the nail.

4. To finish this, top it with a matte top coat.

5. And tadaa! Your done!

And ofcourse, thoose of you with unsteady hands can follow this tutorial for cleaning up your mess.

This is so incredible easy design and it looks amazing. Thank you Cutepolish for making the tutorial.
Have a nice day all and take care ^.^
