Psycho Sheep

WHAT TIME IS IT?? Almost Halloween time. And do you know what that means?? It means that I can paint psychopathic sheep on my nails, without having people question my sanity. Woohoo!

Salt Painted Nails Tutorial

So I have finally done a tutorial for this. I would have done one it sooner but, I ran out of matte polish. I had a matte top coat form h&m, it was perfect. It dried so fast and looked so perfect. Every time I go to h&m I buy the matte top coat. I have five of them, only the first one works. The last four have taken ages to dry and dried shiny. Such a shame.
So I got a soft pink matte polish from Born Pretty Store. Gosh, this took ages to dry (6 min). It is completely opaque, which is amazing for a pink polish. Quite easy to apply and smells amaaaazing. So with the help of the tutorial you can have nails that taste and smell sweet (I replaced the salt with powdered sugar).

There are sooo many more cool designs I could do with matte polish, I need to get more of it...





Mask Water Decal Nails

This is a review for mask water decals from Born Pretty Store.
I really like applying water decals, I don't now why. They are so much thinner and easier to work with than stickers. The also are a lot easier to remove. Anyway, nails:

I Moustache You A Question

... but I am shaving it for later. Gosh, how old is this pun. However I still like it.


This is a review of the moustache 3d decals from Born Pretty Store. The decals are made from plastic and very light. They come in 12 cute colors and you get 2 of each. Which for me is more than enough. An overall great product. The lines however aren't as good as they could be, oh well.

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.)
