Candy sprinkles for the end of summer

Hello ladies!

It's been a while, but I'm proud to present you with some new nail candy I made last night :)


I used IsaDora - Mellow Yellow and Miami Blue, Mavala - Freshy, Ankara and South Beach Pink, Depend minipolish no. 031 (white) and CHIC top coat. And of course, some white Swarovski flatback crystals. This one was really easy, I painted the base coats on all the nails, and then made gentle lines (the candy sprinkles) on top. I made a plain french manicure on two nails and placed crystals just across the smile line. Finally, clear top coat and I was good to go!


I visited my new salon space today, and couldn't resists trying out one of the polishes on my new co-workers desk (Peggy Sage polish, I don't remember the color name), hence the cream colored nail in the third picture. The boyfriend (who has since my last blog post been upgraded to fiance) liked it better with pink, what do you think?

Love,
Dalia

Seashell


Made these fishy-coraly-seashelly nails last night while my boyfriend read mass media mind control theories to me. I only made one hand because it was late, which is why my left hand is going solo here. That's also why the photos are a bit wonky!

As for the designs, I used IsaDora Miami Blue and Mellow Yellow, Depend mini polish numbers 246 (blue), 251 (baby blue), 245 (pastel teal), 031 (white), and CHIC top coat. I didn't have white glitter (the ones you can see on my index finger) so I painted silver glitters with white polish.


Wishing you all a lovely weekend!!

Princess Nails

I made these on my friend this morning, with CND Brisa gel in opaque Cool Pink, topped with IsaDora Bridal Pink, Swarovski crystals in Light Peach, Rose, and Light Rose in two sizes, mini pearls in silver and pink and little black heart rhinestones. I top coated it all with CND Brisa Gloss (gel top coat) to make sure it all holds together as she's going on vacation in a couple of days. There were some files, buffers, base coat etc involved as well :) .

Wishing you all a great week!

To appease the boyfriend

Not exactly nail art, but it involves polish and it's on my nails! It's his favorite, bless his swedish heart.

Make hand painted leopard print look like nail wraps

Every girl loves a good leopard print. The thing is, it's the easiest nail art pattern ever! Here's how I made these:



First I applied two coats of IsaDora gold sparkles. And the fun part, I just made a bunch of color blotches with IsaDora cool camel. Finally, added some half outlines to the blotches with Depend 039 (black), and a few tiny black blotches in between the larger brown ones, top coat and DONE!


Have fun making jungle nails!

Another cakey nail post

I made these under a lamp late at night while watching Hitchcocks 'the birds', I love having a small distraction when watching horror movies so not to get too into them.


I used IsaDora in mellow yellow, cool camel and miami beach, Mavala in riga, velvet and freshy, Depend mini-polish in 248 (peach), 201 (pink), 246 (blue), 031 (white), and CHIC topcoat.


For the little cake decorations I used mini pearls, stick glitter, hexagon glitter and crushed shells, and for other decorations and cherries I put flatback Swarovski crystals Mint Alabaster, Indian Siam and Clear in two sizes.

As always, I used an orangewood stick to pick up and place the decorations and glitter, and top coated everything twice.
