Sunday Pastels

Cheerful Sunday morning nails. If my mood wasn't good before, it definitely is now!


I used Depend mini polishes no. 031 (white), 251 (baby blue) & 245 (mint), IsaDora - Mellow Yellow, Mavala - Riga and CHIC topcoat.

Wishing you all a wonderful week!

Stripes and Polka Dots

Happy Friday!

Browsing through Victoria's Secret's website last night inspired me to spice up my plain pink nails.


I already had Mavala South Beach Pink on my nails from the day before, which is pretty crucial when you're planning on using tape on polish. If your base color isn't completely dry it could get ruined. The necessary waiting time between base color and taping depends on the polish of course, and how fast it comes to a completely dry state.

So, once you have your nails colored and dry, take any kind of tape or sticker that you can comfortably work with, and slice it up in to thin lines, as thin or thick as you'd like the stripes to be. Place them carefully while paying attention to the gaps you leave between them - as these will be the other color stripes when you're done. Make sure the tape is secured tight, and leave a little bit of loose tape on one of the edges to grab when it's time to peel it off.

Paint over with your choice of color (I used IsaDora Bridal Pink). Now this depends again on the polish itself, it's texture and drying time, but for a nice fresh polish, I'd wait just about 30 seconds and then carefully peel the tape. You want the top color to be stable, but still wet enough to resettle and leave a nice clean line after removing the tape.

For my right hand, I just used the shape of the polish brush and dotted all the nails with the same Bridal Pink.

A decent layer of transparent top coat leaves the nails smooth and pretty!

Have the best weekend!

Sugar heart

Good morning ladies!
Something small from yesterday <3

As you can see, the gel nails are off for a while, leaving me with these tiny little things. All I did here was polish two coats of IsaDora Cool Camel, and then painted on a little heart with Depend no.31 (white).
I blame wine and vodka for the major headache, and thus complete lack of sense of humor this morning.
