Glittery lace nails and other stuff

This manicure was pretty hard to photograph... The baby blue lace pattern didn't really show up in pics, but you can tell that it's there, right? :'D


 The first picture is taken today. It's now over two weeks since I took the henna tattoos, and as you can see, it's almost faded away. :< It lasted quite long, though! In my feet he tattoo hasn't faded that much. Couple days ago it was still like new... :D Well, here are my nails about week ago:



 There the tattoo is about 1 week old, and it starts to fade from the finger tips.
I used two coats of H&M Pink Mist first, then I did white gradient to the tips by sponging Rimmel - London Clouds. Then I stamped the baby blue lace pattern with konads, I used the plate m71. Finally I polished three coats of OPI - Last Friday Night to the tips (over the white polish).


Here's the whole henna tattoo after a week.
 I didn't like these nails that much at first, because they're not exactly what I had planned, but now I've had this design on my nails for a week and I have to say that I really like it! :D It was also nice to have something blue on my nails, because yesterday...

FINLAND WON THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF ICE HOCKEY!

...and that was the first time since 1995, when we won last time. 16 years ago... :P That was very sweet, because Sweden had won so many times and they were confident that they would win this year too, but we kicked their ass 1-6! xD I'm not a big fan of ice hockey, but hey, it's the world championship we're talking about. ;)
Besides, it's nice to win something after our Eurovision fail... xD Haha, everyone in Finland seemed to be so sure that we would win, but actually we were almost last! Well, I didn't really think the song would be good enough to actually win the whole thing, but... 21st? Fail! :'D Here's the top three:

1. Azerbaijan - Running scared

2. Italy - Follia D'Amore (Madness of love)

3. Sweden - Popular

What do you think? If you watched the Eurovisions, do think that the right songs made it to the top? I think the winner song was pretty good, although it was a little when you heard it many times. I didn't have any huge favorites, but I liked the England's song and Ireland was funny. ^^

En aluksi oikein tykännyt näistä kynsistä, koska niistä ei tullut ihan sellaiset kuin olin sunnitellut... :P Nyt minulla on kutenkin ollut ne jo viikon, ja tykkään niistä itseasiassa aika paljon! ^^ Kuvissa näkyy myös mitä hennatatuoinnille kuuluu, nyt se on jo haalistunut melkein kokonaan pois käsistä, jaloissa se on vielä aika hyvässä kunnossa. Tatska kesti viikon hyväkuntoisena, ja alkoi sitten haalistua. Ylimmässä kuvassa näkyy tämänpäiväinen tilnne. :)
Alle laitoin kaksi kerrosta H&Mn Pink Mistiä, ja töpöttelin kärkiin Rimmelin London Cloudsia. Sitten leimasin konadeilla (laatta m71) vaaleansiniset pitsikuviot kynsien tyveen. Kärkiin laitoin vielä kolme kerrosta OPIn Last Friday Nightia.
Oli muuten kiva olla siniset kynnet eilen kun Suomi voitti lätkän mm-kultaa! :D En yleensä seuraa lätkää, mutta nyt päätin katsoa kun kaikki muut olivat niin tohkeissaan... Ja kyllä kannatti! 1-6, hyvä Suomi! ;D Varsinkin tuon Euroviisufailin jälkeen... Katsoitteko viisut, ja mitä mieltä olitte kärkikolmikosta? Oliko lemppareita? ;)




 Love the song! <3

Award~ (Did u know this about me? ;))


I received this award from Minnie, Thank you once again! <3 Now I'm supposed to pass this award to 10 bloggers of my choice and then write 10 facts about myself.
It was a little challenging to choose blogs that hadn't received this award yet (or at least I hope I chose blogs that hadn't got this one yet...), but here are my choices:

1. Manicure Madness
2. My Travel Diary
3. Red Cherries
4. We heart nails!
5. Ash-Lilly's Lacquer Lust
6. Frippery Digits
7. Candy Library
8. Colouring my life
9. Shiny Nail Art
10. Diava's Lacquer Box

They're all very great blogs! Then the 10 things about me... Well, I was planning to do a proper post in which I'd tell you more about myself with lots of pictures (never seen before stuff, I was actually thinking somekind of picture of myself...). Would you even be interested? :'D Anyway, here's some facts for starters:

1. atm I'm very excited about Eurovision song contest! :P We watch them every year, and it's sort of a tradition... Even though the songs this year aren't that fabulous (my opinion!) I love the show. ^^

2. Sometimes I write lots of posts ready and then just publish them in time. Atm I have five (!) posts waiting to be published... :'D

3. I've probably mentioned this already, but my nails are very short in my right hand... I keep trying to grow them, but the index and middle nails always chip or crack, and so I shorten them all. :')

4. I'm addicted to lip palm! My lips get very dry if I stop using it, even in summer... I add lip palm probably more than 10 times a day.

5. I love drawing, but lately I haven't been drawing that much... I don't know why. Well, I guess I'm just waiting for somekind of huge inspiration! x)

6. I'm 182 cm tall and VERY clumsy. :'D My balance is horrible and keep stumbling.. I love high heels but I can't wear them that much because of this... I would be so much taller than everybody else!! xD

7. I dislike my feet. Because I'm so tall, my shoe size is...41-42 !! xDD There, I told it to everyone publicly on the internet... Anyway, sometimes it's hard to find cute shoes that would fit perfectly. I've always dreamed of desingning shoe-collection for tall and big-feeted people like me... Then I wouldn't have to worry about finding perfect shoes anymore! :P

8. I have glasses but I like them, I can't imagine myself without them. (Yes it's getting hard to think about these facts... Two more!)

9. I love chocolate and unhealthy food like chips or hamburgers, and eat them too much! I should start excercising, but for some reason (I'm lazy :')) I haven't yet...

10. I also love cooking, and if I have good recipes, I'm pretty good at it! ...Okay, anyone can cook with good instructions, but anyway. I love especially making brownies and apple pie, and in my opinion the best recipes ever can be found from here: Joy of Baking. If you love cooking, you should try them! My favorites are Apple Pie (<-- That's the best recipe ever!!! <3 It takes lots of time and effort, but it's worth it!) and Rocky Road Brownies (There's also basic brownie recipes, but that was the first I tried and fell in love with xD).

Okay, that's it. Was there something surprising? ;D Or is there still something you'd like to know? ^^

Btw, is anyone of you following Eurovisions this year? I already mentioned this topic, but I want to talk more about it... :'D This year the contest is at Germany. As I said, there's not that much great songs but some of them are good. The first semifinal was yesterday evening at 22.00 (Finnish time), and I watched it live on the internet. I have to admit that I wasn't any big fan of Finland's song (I just think it's okay), but I'm so glad we made it to the finals! ^^ This evening is the second semifinal, and I'm going to watch that too. :) Here's the Finland's song:


Well, I'll probably write some more about the whole thing after the Final. ;) Do you have any favorites? Or Dislikes? :)

Sain siis tuon Kreativ Blogger -palkinnon Minnieltä. Idea on listata 10 hyvää blogia joille laittaa palkinnon eteenpäin, ja sitten kertoa 10 asiaa itsestään. Suunnittelin tekeväni vähän isomman postauksen jossa kerron enemmän itsestäni kuvien kanssa (kiinnostaako ketään? :D), joten en nyt käännä tuota koko litaniaa...
Oletteko seuranneet Euroviisuja? Minusta taso ei ole tänä vuonna kovin korkealla, mutta katson viisut silti, siitä on tullut eräänlainen perinne... x) Eilen katsoin 1. semifinaalin YLE areenan kautta, ja olen kyllä iloinen että Suomi pääsi jatkoon vaikka en olekaan kyseisen kappaleen suuri fani! :P 
Onko teillä suosikkeja / inhokkeja? :)
