Geometric fox nails

Hi,
Today I'll show you a really simple and easy to do manicure that I created using some very cute water decals. Firstly, I applied the 9 in 1 base coat from Melkior as usual and then I painted my nails two coats of Essence - 67 Love me like you do. Then I applied these geometry water decals from Born Pretty store. They're actually from a pack of 24 sheets of decals and there are a lot of pretty designs, check them all out on their website. Finally, I applied clear top coat for some extra shine. What do you think?

Christmas manicure

Hi,
Christmas Eve is almost here so I want to send you all the good thoughts and wishes. May the holidays bring you peace and lots of love. I hope that you enjoy the magic of Christmas with your dear ones and you realise that it's the most precious gift you could have asked for. 
Now let me show you the manicure I'm going to wear for Christmas. This year I opted for red and silver, which is a new colour combination for me. I decided to go with water decals, as I found some really pretty ones on Born Pretty store. I applied something different on each nail, so that I created an entire story on my nails. I finished with Seche Vite top coat for some extra shine and protection. What do you think?
I'd love to hear what are you wearing on your nails this Christmas, so please don't hesitate to share your ideas with me!

If you still haven't painted your nails for Christmas yet, you still have plenty of time. If you're searching for some fun & easy freehand nail art ideas, check my Christmas manicures from the last years. I'll also attach some pictures of my all time favourites below.

Ethnic nails

Hi, 
Today I'll show you my new ethnic manicure I easily created using some water decals from Born Pretty store. I started with a coat of white nail polish as a base for the nails where I was going to apply the decals. The nail polished I used on the rest of the nails were El Corazon - Matte Effect 111 (pink) and China Glaze - Too Yacht to Handle (green). If you aren't familiar with water decals, they're really easy to use and they're great for quick manicures. Firstly you have to remove the protection foil from the sheet and then cut smaller pieces containing the designs you're going to use. Next, sink them in a small bowl with water for about 30 seconds. When you take them from the water, you'll notice that de design will easily come off the sheet and you'll be able to stick it on the nail. You'll just have to be very careful as it's really thin and can easily fold by mistake. If you're using them for the first time, just take a little time and pay some extra attention. After a few uses, you'll find them really easy to utilise. I finished my manicure with clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?

Melkior New Collection Storytelling

Hi,
Today I'll show you my new simple, purple and eye-catchy manicure that stands out not only because of the accent nail, but also because of the beautiful nail polish colour. I used Melkior - Purpur, a shade from their new collection Storytelling. All their new colours are great but I think this one is my favourite. I was really surprised by this nail polish in a good way. I didn't expect much from it when seeing it the first time in the bottle as it has shimmer in it and usually this kind of nail polishes need 4-5 coats to become opaque and look decent on the nails. It wasn't like that at all, as the nail polish was perfectly opaque after the first coat. It's the first time when I wear Melkior nail polishes but I already like them for three reasons: the colours are opaque, they dry fast and the brush is large enough to cover almost the whole nail, so that the application is very easy. 
On the accent nail I applied a coat of Madam Glam - Snow white, another nail polish that is perfectly opaque after a single coat. Then I applied some water decals from Born Pretty. So that's it, in just a few minutes I created an amazing manicure. I finished with Seche Vite top coat for extra shine and resistance. What do you think?

Buna,
Astazi o sa va arat o noua manichiura simpla, mov ce iese in evidenta atat prin unghia accent, cat si prin culoarea superba a ojei. Pentru aceasta manichiura am folosit nuanta Purpur de la Melkior. Face parte din noua colectie "Storytelling" care a fost lansata de curand. Toate culorile noi sunt superbe, dar cred ca aceasta este preferata mea. Trebuie sa recunosc ca m-a surprins in mod placut. Cand am vazut prima data culoarea in sticluta nu ma asteptam la cine stie ce. Asta pentru ca are in ea putin shimmer si parea genul acela de oja pe care trebuie sa o aplici in 4-5 straturi pentru a fi opaca si pentru a arata decent pe unghii. Nu a fost deloc asa si mare a fost surpriza sa vad ca era perfect opaca dupa un singur strat. Este prima data cand incerc produsele de unghii de la Melkior, dar pana acum imi plac foarte mult din trei motive: culorile sunt opace, se usuca foarte repede si pensula este destul de lata incat sa acopere aproape in intregime unghia, astfel ca aplicarea este floare la ureche. 
Desigur, inainte sa aplic oja am folosit noua baza pentru unghii 9 in 1 tot de la Melkior, despre care v-am povestit aici si v-am prezentat toate cele 9 beneficii. 
Pe unghia accent am aplicat un strat de oja alba Madam Glam - Snow white, o alta oja care este perfect opaca dupa un singur strat. Apoi am aplicat niste water decals de la Born Pretty. Totul a mers foarte repede, astfel ca in cateva minute am realizat o manichiura de efect. Am terminat cu un strat de Seche Vite top coat pentru a oferi rezistenta si stralucire. Ce parere aveti?

Toate ojele din noua colectie se gasesc in cele 2 variante de sticlute, de 15ml si de 4,5ml. Descopera acum nuanta care iti pune in evidenta manichiura, aici! Sunt oje rezistente care asigura o acoperire foarte buna si uscare rapida. 

Doar astazi puteti profita de oferta 1+1 cadou la oje si transport gratuit la comenzile de peste 49 lei. Cei de la Melkior au aproape in fiecare zi o noua oferta/reducere/promotie, asa ca daca va abonati la newsletterul lor veti fi mereu la curent.

Paris manicure

Hi,
I've recently returned from my trip to Paris that you can read more about here on my travel blog and wanted to share with you this Paris inspired manicure. I started with two coats of white nail polish and then applied some nail strips and painted Rimmel - Peachella over them. Using a sponge, I applied some glittery particles on the base of my nails. I stamped the Eiffel tower from Bundle Monster's BM-418 image plate and the heart and butterflies from Konad's m78 image plate. The perfume bottle on my pinkie is a water decal from Born Pretty store. I finished with clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?
