NOTD: butter London - Disco Biscuit

Hi! I previously stated in my last post that I will be posting a NOTD. Here it is with all its glory, butter London - Disco Biscuit.

It normally looks like this, but when the light strikes...

VOILA! Its true beauty can easily be seen, I'm pretty sure most* of you will like it.

*Unless you're a pink hater, and I hope you're not

And a bottle shot. Kind of blurry but still looks EXTREMELY pretty to me. :)

This is a jelly with blue shimmer in it. I am wearing 3 coats of it in these pictures. butter London's are a bit pricey, and after keeping this on my nails for 3 days, it did stain a bit, but besides those, it is a must-buy.

Have a nice day! :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to the greatest things alive in this world! Whether they are mother-to-be's, a girl without a mom and has to take care of the family, a single mom, or even a dad that needs to play the roles of both father and mother, you all are special and we really need you in our lifes. If you are lucky enough to have your family, know that once they are gone, you won't be able to do anything to get them back. 

Enough with the emotional talk, this is a picture of mommy's and my hands. Since this is a nail blog, I thought it would be the best way to celebrate this day. :)

Mommy is wearing China Glaze - Ruby Pumps, and I am wearing butter London - Disco Biscuit. NOTD of it will come in a few days.

Hope you had a wonderful day with the ones you value the most! :)

Dandelions

It has been a long time since I posted. I know I do this a lot and should not do it in order to have more followers and make people see my work, I'll try harder. :)

I did this mani a while ago but had time and interest to post it only now. I saw a tattoo of dandelions and it was sooo pretty that I could not just past through it and I turned it into a mani. Then, like a week later, I saw that Copy That, Copy Cat posted basically the same mani before me. So, being not inspired by her, I still feel like I should be giving credits to her, you should go see hers too. 

 I loved watching dandelions flying with the wind when I was a kid. I still love it but I don't see them that often anymore.

The base color is China Glaze - Blue Year's Eve, and this photo is blurred to make you see how shiny it is under the lights. So, so pretty. :)

The nail art is done with brushes and acrylics, all by myself. I don't think that it was a challenge to do, so if you are a beginner and want more complicated looking art on your nails, this might be a great choice.
Hope you'll like it. :)

Will you be my Valentine?

I am such a lazy blogger.  I did this manicure before Valentine's Day and I am posting it right now. It is the exact same manicure that Rina did here, only colors are different. I think you can understand that I love recreating Rina's nail art. I was in love with the way it looked on my hands and felt bad cleaning it because of school.

Here is my left hand, a little bit lighter colors since the paint dried until I passed to the other hand.



Also, I took all these pictures (except the first one) with my sister's professional machine. Aren't they lovely, life became more clearer with these pictures :D I did these using acyrlics and they were real fun to do. Just a bit of patience I believe anyone can do this.

I hope you like it. :)

Sponge Bob Nails It!

Well, excuse me for getting really excited about this but, come on, these guys are one of my favorite couples. Normally we wear uniforms to school and nail polish is not allowed. When they said that it will be OK to wear nail polish and normal clothes since it is the last day of the first semester, I was like HOORAY! So I had to do something that I would enjoy anywhere. I chose this design of Leslie from Nail Polish Art Addiction and added my own ideas and this is the result:

 

 The floral design of the cartoon, some algae, and Sponge Bob and his bestie, Patrick.

 This is day 2 of this mani, so there have been some wearing on the tips.

    And my left hand, I try to give it a part on my blog to let you guys see how I handle it.

                                      Gary, floral design and Krabby Patty. :)

 

I used acrylics for this mani. I hope you liked it! :) 

Day 6 - Santa + Christmas Tree + Ralphie

And finally a wrap on this challenge! Santa on my thumb is from Simply Rins' Santa and Rudolf Nail Art . Do I need to mention that I love her designs? I mean you can easily understand that from my posts. The bell was inspired by someone's nail art but I just can't remember whose. I'm sorry, let me know if you know who. And Rudolf is also by Rins, which got featured in one of my previous posts.

 My favorite was Santa, and to be honest, this design is not my favorite so far.

 And here is my right hand. This polish is the gorgeous Going Incognito - Essie. :)

 Hooray for loooots of presents. :)

And this is my horrible Ralphie, I failed this so bad, I didn't even want to post this, but to give you proof, here it is.

Again, all of these designs were made with acrylic paints, free-handed. Hope you'll like it. :)

Day 5 - Nightmare Before Christmas + Grinch

Hello again! :)

I don't think there's need for explaining, here is the Nightmare Before Christmas mani.

Look at how pretty this nail polish is. It is Midnight In NY - Sally Hansen, it has all colors of shimmer in it. You can see by clicking on this photo and look at my pinky.

 Sally's hair was not this much red, but with flash, it looked like this.

And I have a surprise for you! Grinch!

 

This is not a full mani, I just did it on my thumb and the photo is taken by my camera phone so the quality is not the best.

The next and last mani of today I'll be posting is the one I wore on the New Year's Eve. I hope you liked my Nightmare Before Christmas and Grinch mani. :)
