Pretty in Pink

Or perhaps more like crazy in pink.

The pearls and the big gemstone were sent for me by Born Pretty Store, and I am pathetically late with this post. This was originally meant as something valentines day-ish, but well, it's kind of too 8th of March for that now.

Anti Valentine's Day Nails

I seriously adore grumpy cat. I mean the poor thing seriosly looks like his planning a massacre at all times. Insanely adorable.

Yeeah, this is pretty much a perfect representation of me on Valentines day.

3D Rubber Ducky Nails

This is like the first post I've done in like half a month. Yeah, yeah, I'll burn in nail blogger hell. But like I've said I have been filling out a sketchbook. It is AWESOME. I haven't been so hooked on painting in ages.
There are just so many techniques and materials and ideas, and sooo little time. I mean I started painting on nails, paper is like a whole new world for me. I see all these nail artists that have like ten years of experience painting or graphic design or whatever, meanwhile I was still eating paste ten years ago. So i'm having kind of a experience gap that I'm trying to fill, and I don't plan to post more that three two times a month in the near future. Sorry. Please don't unfollow me :).
Anyway here is a cute little rubber ducky.

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.

Let it Snow

I have wanted to do a snow themed nail design since forever. I miss snow soo much. And here I am sitting under a palm tree with no hope for it. Sniff.

Are these cute or what. I mean look at the little white sparrow, awww. The stickers are from Born Pretty Store, I also used them in my late Christmas mani. I really really love the stickers, and you get so much of these :). However the white parts aren't completely opaque, as you can see from the snowman on my middle finger.

Rockabilly+ Princess Nails

This is a review for a set of water decals I got from Born Pretty Store. Unfortunately the decals are out of stock right now. I'll edit this post and add a link when they are back. Anyway, love them, easy to apply, vibrant colors etc.

And here's a hyper girly design using the decals. I did the background using the water color technique and stamped swirls from MoYou Princess 13 template on it. 

Think Outside The Box- Destroy The Box and Splatter Paint it

This is a review for stamp shaped water decals from Born Pretty Store.

I got a Leonardo da Vinci calendar for Christmas, it's awesome. After hours of staring all the scetches in the calendar, this illegible handwriting water decal immediately made me think on him. So I did a mini black and white copy of one of da Vinci's paintings (it's The Virgin of The Rocks). Since the mani itself is black and white I splatter painted a fun colored background for it. I kind of overdid it, didn't I? O_O

 The website doesn't really give you the measurements (it should). So it's 5,7cm on the longer and 4,4cm on the shorter side. (cm to inch calculator). Anyway, I love these stickers you get so much for $1.99. However for my huge nails one stamp was big enough to cover 5 fingers, so these are more for accent nails. the bend very well leaving no or minimal wrinkling.

I used van Gogh paint for a da Vinci painting, I feel like I have just done a major art crime. Let's just hope da Vinci won't be haunting me any time soon.
