The Scream of the Tyrannosaurus

Actually, I was planning on doing the scream of the wolf. But, I realized that is has probably been done thousands of times. Sooo... why not Tyrannosaurus nail art. 

While the idea was good, I am not pleased with the execution. The night landscape is too blue and there are too many stars. Okayokayokay, it's quite awesome.

Koi Fish Nail Art

This is my entry to a nail art contest held at Lydia's Nail Art.
The theme of the contest is anything that means spring to me.
Generally spring means the melting of ice to me, due to my Estonian nationality. As I have been living in Spain for about a year, I haven't seen snow in ages. But I still remember going to the house of my grandparents, who live right next to a lake. I would sit on the winter-worn (please let that be a existing word) bridge and watch the fish splash in the recently unfrozen lake. Happy to finally be saved worm the freezing winter. It's makes you feel inspired in some way.
So for today's manicure I have chosen to do fish. Well technically the fish I would watch were pikes. Now, those are not good looking fish. So I drifted a bit off theme and did Koi fish instead.

The design was originally black, white and red. I thought it was rather boring so I added a glitter top coat, not realizing it had a jelly base. You should have heard me shriek when I wound out. I do the weirdest shriek when I mess something up, it's not like the usual feminine shriek every girl does. It's like a crow got stuck between something. Anyway, I think the pink, red and black version is awesome as well :)

Cult nails-Hypnotize Me

I saved the best for the last. This polish is my definite favorite of the cult nail polishes I own. In the picture it's applied on top of a mint green nail polish ("424" by Flomar). It dries in 1,5 minutes. It is thicker than the rest of the polishes and considerably harder to apply. It also can't be worn without a base color. I used two coats for the green and one for the blue. 

But it has the most amazing feature, it turns blue with black base color. So after finding that out I started applying it over every color I own. Unfortunately there weren't any significant changes to the polish. But I am a sucker for everything navy and glittery. Strongly and passionately in love with this polish. It reminds me of "Jacob's Protection" by Essence. The last bottle of which was bought right before my eyes, and I have been searching for it ever since. You can buy this vampy gorgeousness for $12 from here.

Cult Nails- Coveted

Coveted is a deep green metallic jelly polish with green flakes. It has a wonderful texture like all of the cult nail polishes I have tried, and it's easy to apply. It reminds me of beetles, which is odd since I have never really seen a beetle. It's painted over bare nails. I used 2 coats. One coat of this dried in 2 minutes. A bottle of 15ml can be bought  from the Cult Nails website for $12.

Since I don't know how to review a top coat, I am just going to give you a short description of it here. The top coat is called wicked fast, and that's just what it is. It's insanely fast drying, the polish dried in 35 seconds. I mean it dried completely hard in just 35 sec. I am seriously impressed. It didn't get any bubbles either. The formula is thin but easy to apply. You can buy a 15ml bottle of it for $10.

Cult Nails- I Got Distracted

I Got Distracted has a deep dark jelly base with holographic shimmer and green glitter. In the picture you can see the nail polish over bare nails. It is almost opaque in one layer. It reminds me of dark winter night sky. It's extremely rich in glitter, therefore the perfect eye catcher. I used 2 coats. The formula is thick and very easy to apply. A coat of this polish dries in about 2 minutes (measured with stopper). You can buy a 15ml bottle of this for $12 at the cult nails website.

Cult Nails- Happy Ending

Happy Saturday to everyone!
As some/none of you know I won the 1 year blogaversary Contest at Kelise's Nail Files.
The prize was $40 worth of Cult nails nail polish. I have been drooling over cult nail polish for ages.
And I finally got my hands (or nails) on some.

 Look how cutely they were packed. Each one in their separate tissue and surrounded by cotton balls, all stikered up. The postman could have played football with the package and the nail polish would have been in prefect shape.

I Got Distracted-Wicked Fast-Happy Ending-Coveted-Hypnotize Me

I am going to do 4 posts because I feel like it's more orderly. So here is my first swatch.

Happy Ending is a gorgeous nail polish rich with shredded glitter in gold, orange, pink, and teal. The formula is great, the polish is rather thin but you don't have to fish for the glitter. In the picture to polish is shown (obviously) over black nail polish. It dried in 60 seconds, which is amazing in my opinion. I used two coats of the polish. In the corner you can see a flower test. Which I have just invented. It shows the opacity of the polish in one brushstroke. As you can see the glitter applies evenly. In conclusion I am very pleased with this polish. You can buy this at the official cult nails web page for $7.

Mini Hello Kitty Nails

Today's post will be featuring the nails of a little friend of mine.

I was asked to do hello kitty nails for a 9 year old girl. Since (almost) nobody is as patient as me, I chose a simple glitter background. I made the kittys before on plastic, and later top coated on. I did it so the time the manicure takes would be minimized. However even with this wasn't fast enough. But I think the nails look quite good.
