Superman To The Rescue

Yes, I know, I'm a horrible blogger. For my new years resolution I bought myself a 80 page sketchbook and promised myself that I will have it filled by may. So I have been really busy with the sketchbook and trying new techniques and materials. Also all my good nail brushes have worn out, so I don't have too much motivation to try to paint new nails. Anyway here's a design that some of you may have seen on pinterest already.

I used MoYou Artist plate 06. Is that even superman? Does that look like superman to you?? My knowledge of superheroes is pathetically limited.

Phoenix Nails

I hate fall. It's too cold and too hot at the same time, and it's constantly raining. Also, fall nail polish collections have got to be worst of the year. On the plus side fall inspires me to paint all kinds of fantastic creatures (not that I would be too keen on realism any other time of the year).

Oh, and I am making a F&Q for the blog, so write any questions you would like to ask me in the comments.

Little Red Riding Hood Nail Art

I did this design ages ago. How could I possibly have forgotten about this. Well, little red is lacking a nose (noseless due to the lack of single haired brushes) but otherwise the design isn't half bad. She also looks too scared but, whatever. (Oh, but, how much more scared would she be, if she only knew how the story ends.)

Kuwait Inspired Nails

I did these for a competition a while ago. Which I got first place in. I got a 100 dollar gift certificate to Amazon. Probably the biggest prize I have ever gotten, even though like 40 percent of it went on shipping. Id just like to point out how moronic the amazon international shipping is. You don't get to see how much the shipping is until you check out, also only at check out you can find out if you actually can buy the product. Never shopping in amazon again. But, enough complaining, here is the design.

I'm not fully pleased with the city landscape. But, in my defence, again, I found out about the competition three hours before the closing time. However I do love how the translucent glitter looks in the sky.

Multicrome Glitter Nail Polish Review

Gosh, my last post was 10 days ago,  I have been trying to find functioning cameras for a while and testing them, so I have completely forgotten to make any posts. I left my own camera in Spain knowing that my grandfather buys a new camera every three years and the whole place is filled with them. All different sizes and looks, one older than the other. I have like 4 ancient cameras on my nightstand. Surprisingly, not many of them work, or have been lent to someone. So I am left using a pentax k10d that works only when and where it wants to, complete with a SD card that only saves about half of the pictures. Enough of chatting,  time to get to the actual review.
I am reviewing a translucent glitter polish from born pretty store. See here.

The polish has a gorgeous multicrome shine. Would make a simple french mani angelic. The polish smelt quite cheap, but preformed well, the brush was a bit fanned out which I didn't like. It dried in 4,5 min.

Shiny shiny polish

You can buy this polish for 7.99 from here.

How Unicorns are Made

This is a review of Born Pretty Store's holographic nail polish.

Some time ago Born Pretty Store made their first collection of nail polishes, and to celebrate that, they gave away 200 bottles of it, I was one of the lucky winners. And got myself a bottle in 11#.

I have tried a few holographic polishes, but this one impressed me the most. I don't know if it's the formula or this color brings out the glitter more. The formula was great, I used 3 coats for the pictures. Unfortunately, I forgot to measure the drying time, and I didn't bring it with me on vacation. I don't even know if anyone actually cares for the dry time anyway :). Now, to conclude this post here is my really lame attempt at being funny :D.

Wedding Nail Art Ideas for Quirky Brides

I know the standard wedding design is the french tip. Now, If you have ever met me, you'd know that the french just won't cut it for me. So I prepared a nail wheel of colorful wedding nail art. I actually think colorful designs would spice up a simple white dress very nicely.

I actually planned on making video tutorials for all of them, I was so pissed off in the end of the first one that I wouldn't even consider making a new one. I had my window open, and a breeze made a book I was using to support my "tripod",fell on the nail wheel with the top coat still wet and I had to do the design again and there was nail polish everywhere. I did however get a full video and I will be posting it later today. The video is of the design 19. I numbered them after painting. I got so impatient with the last three designs that I just did something so the nail wouldn't be bare. Oh, and designs 1,3,6,10,14,20 are 3d.

Edward Scissorhands Nail Art

Gosh, I haven't posted anything for a while. I've had a 3 day power cut. If you think surfing the Internet is a waste of time, you should try being without it. I'm also seriously lacking inspiration. Anyway, here's some nail art.

Man Glitter

I have just made up the stupidest title for a post.
Behold, I present to you the manliest set of holographic glitter nails.

Anyone ever wondered how holographic polish looks like mattified? Well, this is it. I feel so badass wearing these. This is how I imagine glitter particles in ManGlaze (my favorite non affordable nail polish brand). 

IT'S RAINBOWING

It has been raining a looot here recently, and it has been a pain to take photos of my nails. Since it's rather dark. I'm sick of rain, I wish it started rainbowing :)

I did this for a  nail art competition at Nails by Kayla Shevonne. I used Hypnotize Me for the green gradient and topped it with Happy Ending, both by Cult Nails.

And I did a facebook page for Brush Me Blush. Check it out!
