New Years Eve

Hi lovelies!

With this mani I'd like to wish you a wonderful New Year's Eve and a sparkling bright start of 2019! I'm not going to party big, but I will be celebrating with friends. So I did my nails in honour of it.

The Digit-al Dozen Recreates First Blog Posts - Salt, Pepper & Sophistication

Hello lovelies!

This month, The Digit-al Dozen's challenge theme is recreating our first blog posts. How fun! My first post however, was a snowflake mani and since I am still in denial about it being the end of summer, I decided to skip that one. For my first post I decided to celebrate my first milestone: The First Mani That Was Ever Shared On Social Media By Someone Else!

The Digit-al Dozen does White - Black and...

Hello lovelies!

Another month, another Digit-al Dozen challenge and this month it's all about white. So for my first entry, I submit white and it's opposite:

The Digit-al Dozen's Stamping Week - Quadruple

Hello lovelies! 

As promised, I went all out for todays manicure; I did not just stamp, nor did I do a double stamp. No, I quadruple-bloody-stamped the bejesus out of this manicure!

The Digit-al Dozen does My Home - Snow

Hello lovelies!

I mentioned the many leaves around my folks' house yesterday, an ultimate autumn decor. The past few days however, my home has been surrounded by snow. One day was so bad that I couldn't even go to work, because public transport stopped functioning properly! I decided to honour the beautiful white blanket with a manicure and beg for it to stay away for the rest of the season!

The Digit-al Dozen does Story Genres - Dystopian SciFi

Hello lovelies!

I like reading, but lately I can only handle the simple stuff. Dystopian science fiction is one of those things that I love, like The Hunger Games and Divergent. This manicure is inspired by the latter. Can you see what it is?

The Digit-al Dozen does Paper - Doodle

Hello lovelies!

This month's Digit-al Dozen theme is.... Paper! So paper... what to do... well doodle, of course!

Cracked

Hello lovelies

This manicure I did months and months ago, but never got around to post it! 

The Digit-al Dozen Does Colour Contrast! - Colour as Contrast

Hello lovelies!

You Win or You Die

Hello lovelies!

The other day I was feeling line black, white and blue and holo, so I did this:

Dalmatian

Hello lovelies!

And now for something entirely different... Dalmatians! 

Taupey Tips

Hello lovelies!

I got another pretty from Carpe Noctem Cosmetics for you today! It's Taupey Tips and it's beautiful! I couldn't resist to pair it with black and white, so this is the final manicure!

Funky florals with BPS new pink stamping polish

Hi lovelies!

Happy hump day! Since on Wednesdays, we wear pink;

Born Pretty Store Lips Nail Decoration

Hello lovelies!

Born Pretty Store sent me this AWESOME nail applique, black lips with a diamond (well, ok, rhinestone). So I went with a bold mani to accompany it:

#RedCoatTuesday - Red Frenchies

Hello lovelies!

Tonight, another episode of PLL will air and I can't wait to see it! In honour of this episode I created this mani:

Twinsie Thursday - Negative Space Tribals

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

It is Twinsie Thursday once again! This month we decided on a black and white tribal negative space nail art look. From this months experience I've learned a few things. First, negative space is very hard- you have to have super steady hands, which I do not process. Second, Lothwen is the queen of negative space. Her manicure is awesome! Head over to my blog to see what I mean!

Friends on Friday: Dots 'n Roses

Hello lovelies!

Time for a good old Friends on Friday, with a new friend and colleague! She volunteered her hands AND bought me a beer :D Excellent deal, don't you think? 

She had just bought a new top with dots and was wearing it, so I got inspired. This is the result (captured with my phone, but not too bad this time):

I used W7 Black and White as the base and for the dots. Then I freehanded the roses with a nail art brush, and various colours, some of which I  mixed with white to get the right shade. A tutorial for a similar design, can be found here. 

The mani lasted for more than 4 days, lol! We'll be doing this again soon, it's a welcome break from screen-staring ;)
