Chocolate bananas

...These look like chocolate dipped bananas, right? :D Inspiration is directly stolen from HERE.



I forgot to take picture of the things I used... First two layers of Models Own Lemon Merinque. Then I made the tips with my "dotting tool", the polish is Essence - Spicy. I used the same polish to the bow, but I made it with the polish´s own brush, u know? I lined the bow with Golden Rose golden nail art polish. Then I added little bling to the tips.
I like them! So sweet. :3 Aah, I love it here in UAE, the sun is shining every day and it's so much easier to take good pictures! Yey! :D
Some more nail inspiration in the end!


Näistä kynsistä tulee mieleen suklaaseen dipatut banaanit, ainakin minulle! :D Ensin laitoin kaksi kerrosta Models Ownin Lemon Merinqueta, sitten tein kärkiin kuviot "dotting toolilla", lakkana Essencen Spicy. Sitä käytin myös rusettiin, mutta tein sen ihan sillä lakan omalla harjalla (en siis dotting toolilla tai nail art siveltimellä). Rusetin rajat on tehty Golden Rosen kultaisella nail art lakalla. Lopuksi lisäsin kärkiin Seppälästä ostettua glitteriä. :)

Pastels & Lace

The inspiration for these nails is from HERE. The blog is all about super cute stuff, btw, so check it out if you love cute things! ^^
Anyway, the original design was for a little longer nails than mine are now, but I think that it works on my nails too, especially now when they´re not squares anymore.. :') So here's my version:


H&M Pink Mist, H&M Dollar Green, Models Own Lemon Meringue, Nail STAR pink nail art polish and Kiss white nail art polish.

I don't do/have gel nails or acrylics, so I had to use lace stickers and polishes and that's why the design turned out a little bumpy and because there's many layers of polish, it took quite long to dry completely... But I'm very happy with the result anyway!
First I polished one layer of H&M pink mist. Then I did the stripes and laces, they're in different layers so they go on top of each others, u see? I don't know how to explain it shortly, I hope you get the idea by looking the picture. And on top of everything another coat of Pink Mist to make the colors more pale. Then couple layers of top coat. So yeah, there's much going on but I like it. ^^
The green stripes are there because I'm convinced that green is my lucky colour and I have to have something green on my nails when the test week comes, otherwise I'm sure that I'll fail... :'D I know that's weird but I don't dare to try if I could make it without lucky green! And it seems to be working, at least it has until now. Let's hope for the best, this years last (for me) exam week starts tomorrow! x_x
I bought a new base & top coat few days ago but forgot to show it to you guys, I'm sorry... Here it is:


It's Sally Hansen's diamond shine. And I have to say.... I love it! It makes my nails extremely shiny! *_* It even managed to smooth out my bumpy lace manicure a bit. :') I've used that since the polka dot manicure... Although it says that it's top and base coat, I only use it as the top coat. I have GOSH fix base coat, and I stick with that. ^^

That's all this time, wish me luck for the test week! :3

Tämäkertaisiin kynsiin tuli inspiraatio TÄÄLTÄ. Kyseisessä blogissa on muutenkin kaikkea tosi söpöä, käykää katsomassa jos kiinnostaa! ^^ 
Omat kynteni ovat vähän lyhyemmät kuin alkuperäisessä kuvassa olleet, mutta minusta kuvio toimii myös minun kynsilläni, varsinkin nyt kun ne ovat pyöreät... :') 
Minulla ei ole akryylejä tai geelikynsijuttuja, joten jouduin käyttämään tarroja ja peruskynsilakkoja. Siksi kynsistä tuli lievästi "kuhmuiset" ja niiden kuivuminen kesti aika kauan, mutta tykkään lopputuloksesta silti! :) Ensin laitoin yhden kerroksen H&Mn Pink Mistiä. Sen päälle tein raitoja ja pitsejä ikäänkuin kerroksittain, niin että ne menevät lomittain. Sitten vielä yksi kerros Pink Mistiä tekemään väreistä vaaleammat, ja pari kerrosta päällyslakkaa.
Tein pari raitaa vihreällä, koska olen vakuuttunut siitä, että vihreä on onnenvärini ja kynsissäni on oltava jotain vihreää koeviikon lähestyessä, muuten feilaan. :'D Tiedän että se on aika hullua, mutta en uskalla yrittää menestyisinkö koeviikolla ilman onnenkynsiä... :P
Ostin myös vähän aikaa sitten uuden päällyslakan, jota olen itse asiassa käyttänyt pilkkukynsistä lähtien... Kyseessä on Sally Hansenin diamond shine (kuva ylempänä), täytyy sanoa että tykkään! Se tekee kynsistäni todella kiiltävät ja onnistui jopa tasoittamaan kuhmuista pitsimanikyyriä hiukkasen. :'D 




Siinä kaikki tällä kertaa, toivottakaa onnea koeviikolle! :3

Contest nails

Okay, apparently it is allowed to publish the contest nails before the winner is released... My mistake, I´m sorry you had to wait this long! There were two themes in the competition, Coloursplash and Black on white. I did both of them. 
First the Black on white -manicure:


I used my white Rimmel polish, London clouds, as the base and then I put on some lace stickers. The L O V E -letters are made with black rhinestones, I glued them on one by one. There´s a little rose in the middle of O... :) The Sweet Love -text on my thumb is made with black nail art polish, free-hand.
Then the Coloursplash:


I used five different polishes, the green Claire´s -polish, Sinful Colors Fusion neon, H&M Blue My Mind, Models Own Lemon Merinque and OPI atomic orange. Then I added the tiny sequins one by one, and then glued on the colorful rhinestones (also one by one).
So what do you think? :) I put so much time and effort to both of them, I really hope everyone likes them! ^^ These aren´t the same pictures I sent to the competition, I did little collages for that. ;)

Fruity nails

It´s winter already, I know that. And I love snow, but I also love summer! So altough there´s super cold and it´s snowing at the moment, I wanted to have my fruit-salad manicure! Since I now have my fruit fimos, there was nothing to stop me; may I present you my fruity manicure!

Mmm, they make me think about summer... ^^
Models Own - Lemon merinque as a base
I love it, such a pale and beautiful yellow!
I sponged H&M´s Dollar green on Models Own Lemon merinque...
...and added lots of little slices of fimo-fruits on top!
 It would be nice to have sun back (seriously I haven´t seen it for weeks!), but like I said I love to have snow. I just wish it wouldn´t be so cold! :'D
Then something else: I was at crafts-fair last weekend! There was so much interesting and beautiful stuff, I wanted to buy almost everything but I couldn´t... :(  So I bought some things that are officially for scrapbooking or cardmaking, but I´m going to use them on my nails:

Rhinestones and pearls
 And then something for jewellery making:



I have big plans for these little things! ;)
That´s all this time! Let´s enjoy the snow! ^_^
