Unicorn magic day

Today i have a very simple manicure to show you, but i really like it, i made it for the weekend where we had christening for my little son, so it had to be boy-ish. So i decided to use Essie Mezmorize, and to make it special and a bit magic i used some simple rihnestones.

When i saw this challenge i did think og magic fairy dust, and make it alle sparkel and glitter, but i actually think that rhinestones looks magic too, and this is just a very simpel magic manicure.

Sorry for the bad pichures, had to take them quickly, and dident noticed they where this bad..









This manicure is my Unicorn magic day manicure for the purpel fairy crumpet spring challenge.

Half moon Mani

I have just been trying to make a half moon, mani... I have done it before and belive i made a better result last time... But i did try.
I used nail stickers to make the half moon, but even thoug i choose the round stickers it seems straigth. I made the manicure very simple, with only 2 colors.

First i used Laval White, and then Essence style-ish, baby!




The withe bits got mabey too big, and too straigth, but i do like the colors together. What do you think?

This is my week 6 mani, of the 52 week challenge - a half moon mani.

Flower bed...

Now for the promised manicure of the day for the The Purpel Crumpet Fairy Challenge. It is supposed to be small flowers/ flower bed.

I wanted to do som stamping so i started to choose som small flower looking things on my konad image plate m3.
Then i first used a base color, i user Essie Pretty edgy, then i started stamping lotst of small flowers, in Wet n Wild Tickled Pink, and Konad Special polish in Red and Purpel.

When my nails looked like this i considered stop stamping more, but i didnt stop.



 
But then i did a bit more stamping, and ending uwith this result.  







And at last all the polishes i have been using. 

I like how my nail look, but only have one issue... They are not spring like, the color are too dark for spring, should have used a mint green instead og Essie Pretty edgy for base. But im happy with how they look anyway.

Valentine mani - gone wrong

I think i did a bad job on the silver hearts for a valentines design, so i desided to do a new valentine design. But this was not only bad, it is nearly not worth showing you. But i decided to show anyway.

I have been looking into the Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge, and the first manicure is a valentine design, so this is my first design for the challenge.

I did use Essie Rock Candy - that was my first big mistake for this mani. Rock Candy i believed was a cute babydoll pink, is a sheer. And i wanted it to cover my nails, so ended up with a really thick layer. Anyway, i did take som pichures to put on a rewiev, to show you soon. so not more about the bad choose af base color.

Then i wanted to do some stamping, with Konad Plates m2 and m3. Both of them got hearts on, and i wanted to do different types of hearts.

First for my nail on my tomb, i desided to make shaddows, so black shaddows and red hearts on top. But after i first did som nice black hearts, and then stamped red hearts on top, i could not see red, but only black, the red color simply could not cover up the black. 

Then on to my ringfinger, when i tryed to stamp that, the base nail polish simply stuck to the stamp, and came half of... thats why it looks even worse. Problem was the way to thick layer of Essie Rock Candy.

Then i did some red hearts on my index finger, that acctualy went well. For the stamping i used GCOCL stamping nail polish in red and Black.

At last i re did my middle finger like 10 times, it just keept going wrong, but it was my last finger to do, and the rest looking like crap i settled on that to look like crap too, one of the hearts is only half.

So now i pretty much done everything wrong, so hopefulle this post can help to tell what not to do to make a nice manicure.

At laste some pichures, than you can see for you self.



Violet Mani

Now for at violet Mani, I have decided to make a french manicure, I violet, and with rhinestones.
For this mani i have been using Pieces Red Berries, on the hole nail, then i used e.l.f Lilac on the tip, and at last alot of pink rhinestones.

Sorry for the really bad pichures of this mani... dont know what happend..



This is my day 6 mani - a violet mani for the 31 day challenge.

Color block mani

I just wanted to try to make a color block mani, i choose only 2 colors, both from e.l.f it is Lilac and mint cream. To top it i used e.l.f twinkle.
First i use lilac all over the nail, then i free hand painted with the mint cream. To make it sparkel i used Twinkle all over the nail.


I quite like the result, it is very summer-ish... What do you think?

This color block mani is my week 3 mani in the 52 week challenge.

31 days challenge

I have been thinking quite alot of the 31 day challenge that alot of other nail bloggers have done. There is alot of manicures in it i would love to try, i just got a couple of problems in the beginning, i dont really have orange and yellow polishes, so i have to be really creative on thouse 2...

Then im already doing the 52 week challenge, and it migth be a bit to much with 2 challenges. But i love challenges, that force me to make new manicures that i havent done before.


All this ended up with the desiscion to do the 31 days challenge, i will not do it from day 1 to 31, but i will get trough all of them, and i wont do them in 31 days, but will use a bit longer on them.

Im so excided with my desicision, and just can wait to make som nice manicures... Better get started rigth away.
