Shooting Stars

Hi guys! I still have some nail art stuff lying around that I've never used before and I decided to start using them. Now, I had some pink stars from Viva La Nails and you know I dislike pink so I started off with those.


First I painted my nails with China Glaze Something Sweet and I used my striper to add white (H&M Love at First Sight), pink (Ciaté Fun Fair), berry (Ciaté Main Stage) and 'reddish' purple (OPI DS Extravagance). After that I used white stars from the Essence Nail Jewels wheel and the pink stars from Viva La Nails. I topped this off with Nubar Diamont.

Well. How's that for a pink disliker! ;-) I took this off the next day because it really wasn't my colour but I'd like to try something similar with dark blue.

Thanks for visiting!

I like Dots

Hey everyone! Glad the weekend started? I sure am! Today I'm showing you one of my all time favourite and easy manicure in a different way - a dotted manicure! Dots are very easy to make when you own a dotting tool (or a toothpick, also works) and sometimes I like to do it a little different. You've seen me putting rhinestones on dots and now I used round shaped pink glitter from Viva La Nails for this dotted manicure. It's not special, it's not difficult but it sure is fun.


The polish I'm wearing is Eyeko's Posh Polish, a pretty taupe that is opaque in two coats. Like the other Eyeko polishes I tried this one applied nicely, the polish is not too thick nor too thin. I love how pink and taupe combine together, it's definitely one of my most favourite colour combination.

What are your favourite colour combinations?
Have a great Saturday!

Crushed Shells

Hello everyone! I’m about to bore you with a little story about crushed shells so I’m warning you – if you’re not interested, scroll down to see the pictures.

A few months ago I ordered ice chips at Dollar Nail Art. They looked gorgeous and would be amazingly great on a manicure if only I knew what to do with it. When receiving my samples package from Viva la Nails I found out that there were crushed shells in it. Crushed shells, you ask? Yes, crushed shells. Tiny bits of coloured shells.

And that is when my brain started to get crazy. If I can’t work with ice chips, I can’t work with crushed shells! After trying to create a manicure with ice chips and completely failing with it I didn’t see that much of future for the crushed shells. But I tried and this is the kind of – weird – result.

My crushed shells are the colour lime, super funky if you ask me. My base colour is OPI Gargantuan Green Grape and I’ve stamped with China Glaze 2030 and Konad plate M57. I only stamped half of my nail (exception is the ring finger) and placed the crushed shells under the stamped part. I don’t know why I also used the crushed shells on my ring finger but I did and I don’t like it haha.

The crushed shells DO have a nice effect. Check out my pinky in detail:

Funny right? It’s constantly showing this glance. Please note that Viva La Nails says you can’t use the crushed shells on natural nails (only in gel or acrylic techniques or on nail extensions). I don’t know why this is because these stayed on fine and nothing happened. If you know why, please explain!

Thanks for stopping by!

Color Club - Uptown Girl

Hi everyone! Another day of bizarre heat, I'm really hoping for a thunderstorm later today. Also this is post number 100, so yay! Hope to bring you more and more enjoyable posts.

A few weeks ago I've placed an order at Viva La Nails. You've probably heard about this company - they send out free promotion packages for bloggers. They were really fast with sending and amazingly generous: I've received a lot of different things such as rhinestones, decals, stickers, hex glitters and more!

In this mani I used stickers I've received from Viva La Nails. These are soooo cute! It's a black flower with a purple stone in it and smaller white stones on the side. They look like raindrops.

The polish used in my mani is Color Club's Uptown Girl from the 2010 Rebel Debutante collection. It's a soft dusty lilac creme that applied very well. The Color Club's I own all have a fantastic formula and I really want to own more of those babies!

Uptown Girl, three coats, daylight

Like I showed in my first nail art tutorial stickers are really easy to use and they can give that small extra to your manicure. I'm falling for it, are you?
