Lemon popsicle Water Marble

yeah, finally I did again a swirl water marble design, using these colors:





using a cup of bottled water, I made my bulleye and just made with an orange stick a swirl design, dipped my fingers into it and voila, this turned out:


for the finish I added some yellow dots and glitter flakes

Stripes & Dots ....painted nails

Here is a design, inspired by awesome nailartist Love4nails (youtube). Half of my nails are covered with gel, still growing out here! My first try of painting stripes and dots, was very difficult with  my non-dominant hand, but I keep practicing :)

Nail polish collection

a quick view of my collection, a lot of Sally Hansen, no name nail art brush-pens, bourjois, essence...
around 107 bottles :)


My very first selfmade nail art design....

...was water marbling! Yes!!! After watching a bunch of water marbling tutorials, I did this design and it turned out bit messy but quite interesting. I was really proud of it. It took also some time for the scotch-taping and cleansing off the excess polish :)

I used here 4 colors. First I did a white base coat on all entire nails to get the marble effect more vibrant.

The main colors were black, hot pink and nail prism holographic silver by sally Hansen :)

First post and what it is all about....

this will be kind of a diary containing my several nail art designs, cosmetic shopping hauls and/or with reviews...
Probably it will contain more of the nail stuff and everything that is related to nails.

I have had  for a whole year gel nails and decided from the beginning of 2011 to stop refilling them and to let the gel completely grow out because I wanted to have again my very own natural nails. And I started to become interested in nail art since I stoped my gel refills. I am really glad I did, because gel nails were expensive and I missed somehow doing manicure on my nails. I always loved that and was also desperate what to do with my almost 100 bottles of nail polish. Now I can use them again for every kind of nail design which comes in my mind.

enjoy
