Happy Easter!

Hi lovelies!

Happy Easter! I created an easy Easter manicure today, but with a twist...

Easter pastels

Happy Easter everybody!

After the bright, non-traditional Easter manicure of Saturday, it was time for a traditional pastel one!

Getting My Peeps Ready for Easter

Hello lovelies!

Happy Easter!

Over the past week, I've been getting my peeps Easter-ready too :) This is the result:

The first two manis were done with a new technique I'm trying to master: dry marbling flowers. I need some more practice, but I like where this is going! The third mani was done using a polish I won in a giveaway from Celestial Cosmetics, I'll be sure to post swatches soon! The polishes are amazing, application is a dream and the holo is mesmerizing. More on that later. The last pics are of recreations I did of a previous mani, that I really liked, called Daffodelicious! Perfect for easter, I thought, and my two friends from work happily agreed after I was finished prettifying their hands :) That was fun, and I now have two new hand models :)

Twinsie Thursday - Easter Eggs!

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

It is Twinsie Thursday once again! With Easter on Sunday, Lothwen and I thought it was the perfect theme!

For this look, I used all of the Zoya Awaken Collection, minus Monet. Brooklyn, Hudson, Rebel, Dillion, Cole, and Dot were perfect for this look! I took a nail art brush and designed a different "Easter egg look" on each nail.

This was such an easy look to achieve and perfect for nail art beginners! It makes you practice some very important nail art tool skills, as it made me practice mine!

I hope everyone has a wonder Easter! :)

Make sure to come over to my blog and check out Lothwen's look, as it is SUPER cute. I'm definitely going to try it this weekend.

OMG Samantha I LOOOOOOVE IT! So classy and fun at the same time, it's perfect! The colours are amazing together. I want those!

ManiMonday - Easter Sprinkles

Hi lovelies!

Happy Monday! Today I have a mani for you that I had been saving for a while, because it had turned out very Easter-y, so it needed to wait ;) Easter Sprinkles I call it:

Feeling Flowery

Hiiii!!!

A new month is here and I want to start it off springish, since the weather still thinks it's winter over here :S At least the sun is out today, so it looks happy outside. Good for this second day of Easter ;)

I used Maybelline Express Finish "Sweet Rose" as my base. I just bought it on sale and I don't see why it's called rose, nor does it look anything like it does in the bottle. Even though I got it half off, it was still hugely overpriced. This is 3 coats over a ridgefilling basecoat and it did not dry withing 40 seconds per coat whatsoever. The most annoying thing however, was that it bubbled immensely, so that is not pretty. 

Oh well.. The  flowers were done using Essence "Shopping trip in Soho" and "I love bad boys", and NYC "Lexington Yellow". The green is Essence "Upper Green Side", which I should swatch for you guys one of these days, it's really quite pretty! :D

The white is from my striper, but added with my dotting tool of course. The gold is from Miss Sporty Clubbing Colours.

All in all my nails look happy, but I am very disappointed by the Maybelline polish. 

I wish you all a nice day!

Easter Goodies

Happy Easter everybody!

I NEEDED to do another easter design, because they're so cute, and I wanted to try bunnies. And chicks in eggs. My own nails needed to rest a bit (they're so damaged, I need to take care of them), so I did my moms nails, and gave here a crazy mani (with which she cannot leave the house, haha, they're not really sophisticated this time ;) ):

Whooooooooooooh! BUNNIES! <3

I used Essence "Upper green side" and "I'm bluetiful" for the blue, topped with "I love bad boys" to make it lighter. On the middle finger I added Rimmel "Cutie Colada" from their new Cocktail Colour in a Flash line, to give it more sparkle. The rest I did with stripers from Max and Janet, and some black polish and a dotting tool.

I wish you all a wonderful Easter!

Crazy easter chicks

Hey lovelies!

Looking forward to Easter? I am! Here's a cute and crazy mani you can easily recreate (if you do, we'd love to see it, so please share your design on our facebook page!) :

My right hand, no deco on the eggs, just a splash of colour.

I used for yellow HEMA nr. 19 (dupe of Chanel "Mimosa") , for blue "Peppermint" by Rimmel, the orange is Catrice "For Bright Guys", the green and pink are Essence "Lime up!" and "Very Berry". I placed the googley eyes (that one of my lovely friends sent me as a surprise) in the still wet paint. Then I took a black striper for the little paws, and some red polish and a dotting tool for the beak. With some white polish and my dotting tool I created the dots on the "easter eggs" and with a white striper I painted the lines.

This makes me super duper happy to look at. Unfortunately I now (on day 2) have the weird craving to pull off the eyes. Let's see how long I can resist... I always have that with 3D stuff...
