March's Nails Challenge- Pastel

Hello! 

Today is Saturday again ...so we have another manicure for the monthly challenge : PASTEL . 

I really liked the idea...until I had to choose the nail polishes for this and I realized I don't have a lot of pastel shades, and, since I don't have that many I decided to combine them all in one manicure. 

Here it is : 

I have to admit that doing this manicure took some time but I am really happy with the end result - what's better than a colourful mani ? 

Even if I wanted to make this manicure with only one brand of nail polish I couldn't have done it. I think this is the first time ever when I use so many colours and also brands in one manicure. 

My inspiration was this colourful cake. Let's see what inspired the other talented ladies :

March's Nails Challenge- Vintage

Buna dimi fete dragi !

Postarea de astazi ii este dedicata unei fete foarte dragi mie Andrea!

In acelasi timp, vreau sa imi cer scuze fata de ea, pentru ca am facut aceasta postare atat de tarziu.

Acum...mult timp (cam jumatate de an) am primit de la ea un cadou foarte frumos pentru care nu am apucat sa ii multumesc cum se cuvine.

Din aceasta cauza, manichiura pe care am facut-o pentru aceasta tema este realizata (aproape) in totalitate cu ojele primite de la Andrea.

Si nu doar atat . Stiu cat de mult ii place sa se inspire din rochii/fuste/tinute in general, atunci cand realizeaza unele modele...asa ca m-am hotarat ca inspiratia mea sa fie tot o fusta.

Sper din suflet sa iti placa ,si, iti multumesc din suflet inca o data pentru cadou - stiu ca e cam tarziu dar sper sa ma intelegi.

ps : doar pentru ca nu am facut pana acum o postare in special dedicata ei, asta nu inseamna ca nu am folosit ojele de la ea. :P

In ceea ce priveste tema...VINTAGE, am ales o simpla fusta care mie imi striga vintage si am incercat sa o "mut" pe unghii,

 Nici nu imi vine sa va spun cat m-am chinuit cu aceasta manichiura. Initial am vrut sa folosesc striping tape ...dar am renuntat si le-am facut cu pensula.
Am zis ca nu se mai termina.
Eu consider ca a meritat efortul. Voi ce parere aveti?

Mani-swap

Hello.

Mani-swap...this is something I've done a couple of times ago...something I really like doing...and finally I did it again.

This time...I did a mani-swap with a girl I recently met on the facebook group I am part of.

You can check her instagram @alexandruvioleta - she doesn't have a blog.

I decided to do a manicure I absolutely fell in love with - it was love at first sight hehe - I would have done the manicure eventually because it is too good to pass.

I hope you like it.

She recreated my OPI design I posted a month ago and as you can see she did an amazing job - the lines are exactly the same!
Good job Violeta. Check her instagram account @alexandruvioleta.

Catrice - Orange-utan !! 

Freehand stripes !

Morning lovelies!

How is your week so far?

If you follow me on Instagram or on Facebook you may know this weekend I finally got my light box.
I was so excited I couldn't wait and I had to do a manicure ...so , I will show it to you today. I didn't set up my camera perfectly so I think the pictures could have turned out even better...but I am pretty happy with them.

I hope you like them - today I am more interested in your opinion on my photos rather than my design hehe.

For my design I used very autumny colour - brown, orange and a beige. A good friend of mine told me the colour combination looks very high end , something like Louboutin would choose for their designs.

Nail Art Marathon - Palm Trees

Morning ladis.

How are you? Are you ready for another manicure done for the Marathon collaboration? Today's theme, PALM TREES, was  Oana's idea.
I really want to thank her for proposing this- I had in mind for a long time a palm tree manicure and now I had the perfect opportunity.

Talking about perfect : exactly in the time I had to do this manicure...I received the Concept collection from MoyouNails (you can find the whole collection) which has a perfect plate for what I needed (plate no.307- find it HERE!)  and also....my boyfriend, who was visiting me, decided to wear a pair of shorts...which later become my inspiration.

I decided to do palm trees on every nail. (at the end of the blog post I will show you my bf's shorts ...and I am sure the mani will make more sense then)

As you can see, plate no. 307 from MoyouNails has a lot of designs engraved. For this manicure I had to use just the palm trees , but I have to be honest and tell you that I already have a lot of ideas from the designs of this plate. Since summer is coming - I will have a perfect plate for manicures. I am especially excited by the waves!!

The designs on the plate are perfectly engraved and they get transferred from the plate->stamper->nail without any effort!!
The only thing that was a bit tricky about the palms is that I had to fill in a bit with acrylic paint the middle of the tree.

I decided to do a sponged manicure - this is another thing I wanted to do for a long time. I was afraid of "sponging" and I still am, exactly how I am afraid of ombre manicures. I find it very hard to blend-in the colours.
I am actually pretty happy with the sponging on this manicure, even though I know I could have done better.

And this was my inspiration. 

Rimmel London - Rita Ora Super Shine swatch

Hello darlings.

Today I want to show you 4 swatches for some beautiful Rimmel London Rita Ora Super Shine.

I showed you Peachella from the same collection HERE....today I will show you more.

Today I will show you these 4 colours - but first lets see the whole collection.

The Rita Ora Super Shine collection has 12 bottles,gorgeous colours!
Each bottle has 8ml.
What they say about this collection :

· 3 IN 1 TECHNOLOGY FOR UP TO 10 DAYS WEAR

· HIGH IMPACT COLOUR FOR ULTRA-SHINY FINISH

· ONE STROKE, PRECISE APPLICATION

What I say about this collection : 
- I wore the nail polish 4 days on my nails before it started to look bad. I have to say that I didn't use any topcoat, just my usual basecoat.
- As you'll see in the pictures, they are very very shinny
-The brush is perfect for a one-stroke apply, but they all need 2 coats for the perfect look.
- Bonus : I love the little flowers on the handles- they are very girly and cute!

GOWILD-ER-NESS

Artificial light.

This picture reflects the true colour of the nails polish and the shine it has!

GLASTON-BERRY

I fell in love with this colour because it's exactly the same shade as one of my first nail polishes I ever bought. The polish I am talking about is long gone...and unfortunately I haven't been able to replace it. Now, this one is my new baby. (it won't replace that one though)
This nail polish looks amazing in one coat - but I used 2 as always.

BESTIVAL BLUE

PORT-ALOO-BLUE

This is a great teal...the only thing I have to tell you about it ...is that it stains a bit when cleaning it up. I always use a basecoat- so you should too.

I love every single one of them!! They are gorgeous colours with a beautiful shine.
