The studs come from a stud wheel from Born Pretty Store which offers a great variety of shapes and sizes. You can use my 10% discount code when shopping at BPS, it's LHJ61.

And here is an easy tutorial so you can recreate this design! if you do please don't forget to tag me so I can see your work!

Patterned Zoya Thandie nails with tutorial :)

Hello lovelies,

I'm still loving patterns on my nails and today I have here another one! It is a pattern I've seen on a fabric sample but I know it also pattern that is often use in Zentangle drawings.

I have used Zoya Thandie as a base colour and black acrylic paint for the pattern. Keep scrolling, there's a tutorial ;)

This is another manicure that I don't love and which looked better in my head but I still think it was worth sharing :)

Bridal Nails I would wear: One Stroke Flowers over Color Club Miss Bliss

Hello lovelies,

Today I have something very special! I've created these nails quite a while ago upon request of Bridal Tribe, e-magazine for brides to be, to do some special wedding nails. Well I LOVE THESE so much! I've worn them for three days (which is a long time for me!) and I couldn't stop staring at my nails. I must repeat this creation again...

I've painted with white acrylic paint over Color Club Miss Bliss using one stroke technique and sealed with Seche Vite topcoat.

Artificial light hides the holographic effect. It all looks very soft and romantic, I absolutely adored these nails!

What do you think? Would you wear them?

Bridal Pink Bow Nail Art with Tutorial

Hello lovelies,

New tutorial for freehand nail art is here!

I've created these nails quite a while ago upon request of Bridal Tribe, e-magazine for brides to be, to do some special wedding nails. I'm not into French manicures so I have created a soft, romantic bow design.

I have used three coats of OPI Don't Burst My Bubble as a base colour and then painted the bow design with acrylic paint.

I've put together a tutorial for you:

Peeking into Paranormal World! Nail Art feat. Illamasqua Omen and A England Camelot

Hello lovelies,

I'm so excited to show you this manicure..actually there's three versions of it!

The theme of the Illamasqua's collection, Paranormal has inspired me and this manicure is supposed to depict tears through the fabric of the universe; between our universe and the one where ghosts, demons and other paranormal creatures live.

I have used Illamasqua Omen and A England Camelot.

And here is the awesome, 'paranormal' version! Gosh I loved how the green glows!

Then I said to myself: "Hang on, I could make this even more interesting, white glows under UV light too!" I've outlined the 'tears' and added some distress lines using white acrylic paint and this is the result:
 

Awesome, right? The Illamasqua Paranormal polishes are so much fun! below is a mattified version that actually looks like I've drawn on chalkboard :)

So that was the second post of the day. Did you like it? Would you like to try these new Illamasqua's UV glow polishes? They are available at illamasqua.com or at selected Sephoras.

OPI Couture de Minnie Nail Art - My Minnie Mouse design

Hello lovelies,

so here is my Minnie Mouse nail art design! With only three creme polishes in the collection there is a small number of gradient colour combinations you can do so yes, some other bloggers have already done this. I can't remember which ones but if you leave me a link in the comment I can reference to them.

The accent finger features Minnie Mouse over gradient. I have used OPI A Definite Moust-Have,
Chic From Ears To Tail, Innie Minnie Mightie Bow, Minnie Style and acrylic paint. 

Since I've gotten the new Illamasqua UV glow topcoat in Geist I wanted to try it out and test how different colours underneath it will influence the glow. It looks interesting and it did not influence the colours in daylight. I've partly painted the accent finger so you can see the difference with and without topcoat. Cool, right?
