Dexter Morgan is a sweetheart.

Hey there!

Guess who is back to doing nail art! Yup, yours truly.

I would like to apologies for my absence, but for the last two months I've been spending so many hours at work that I barely had time to do ANYTHING interesting.

BUT NOW, as I got used to it, I finally found time to do my nails. YES! I hated how my nails looked during these weeks - all broken and not polished properly.

So enough with the talk, here is what I came up to as a second comeback for this year - Dexter Morgan inspired nails!!

I've been waiting for the 8th season for so long that I could not believe that it is actually out. 

I decided to do a pretty simple design not to overload my brain too much - a few blood splatters, Dexter's weapons of choice and his name as usually - using only a toothpick for this design.

So whaddya think? I really like these and I love the fact that my nails are pretty again <3

Can't wait to see the next episode of Dexter!

Fast Forward To...

Hey there!

It might have crossed your mind that I haven't been blogging that often for a while now. And by "a while" I mean weeks, but it doesn't matter, does it?

The one and only reason for it is that  

I GOT A JOB.

A nice one, well paid, with a lot of things to do all day long and a lot of stressed situations and paperwork, but as long as it helps me to get money to get THE FUCK out of this country forever - I'm 100% OK with it.

And as a result I barely have time to do anything at home - I need to write this years final paper and I barely started writing it. 

Fuck me, right?

But it is just because when I am back from work I lay on the bed and fall asleep in a few hours. These are the things I need to cope with in order to live like I always dreamed of. The things I we do to reach our dreams...

Anyways, I am NOT quitting nail art.( To be honest I hate how my nails are looking right now - plane and boring.) And I am planning on getting back to doing my nails ASAP.

So, yeah... here is my story.

Love,

K.

Down Alondra

Today is the music-related nail art day again!

But this time I'd like to introduce you to a band called Down Alondra!

Here is their home page, be sure to check them out!

I wanted to support them a bit and made a nail design inspired by their new song called EVERYTHING.

It is pretty simple but i really like the result!

I can continue telling you how awesome they are, but you need to hear them to understand it!

for example - here is their music video 

I guess this is it for today...

Come back soon for more nail art <3

Little Owl.

This was another quick design this week.

I did messed up the owl in about 2 minutes after drawing it on the nail by taking icecream out of the freezer.  Well that's just me. lol

Even tough the bird looks like it was smashed, it still looks sweet! I think it is because if the lavender background. The colors give this calm and soft vibe, you know?

So yeah, here it is. so random and simple.. but still lovely, don't you think?

Oh and please do check out my video tutorials once in a while, k?

Your support is VERY important to me. <3

Disco on the nails.

Another weekend - another nail art.

Well to be honest I did these yesterday while I had time at my boyfriend's work place. As I do not have a job at the moment I spend a lot of time home and I hate being home when Keiran isn't there, so that is why he takes me with him when he goes to work. 

I'm helping him out with some paper work, but most of the time I make tea and do my nails there. That is how helpful I am lol.

So anyways this time I grabbed my black nail polish with me and using acrylics I created something that Keiran named as "Disco nails".

I took a pencil, dipped it in the red acrylics and made a line of dots across my nail and then continues dotting with the blue color. 

Added top coat and the nails were done.

This was one of the fastest designs I ever did and Keiran's colleagues complemented me on my nails so many times. 

Anyways, If you want a quick and eye-catching nail design  try doing this.

And yes, I got a paper-cut... Paper can be dangerous sometimes.

Thank you for stepping by my blog and come back again!

Glittery Things In Life.

Hey!

Did you miss me? I know you didn't but I am glad to announce that I am officially BACK in nail art creation.

Yes, I have finally passed all the exams for this semester (yay) and I have enough time to do nail stuff. ( at least until I find a job lol) but nevertheless I will be doing my nails more often from now on.

I will make it up to you guys for disappearing like that, I promise.

And since today feels like spring ( at last, I was so tired of snow already) I decided to add more glitter to the day.

 If you were checking out my blog these two weeks, you know that I have received an Adore Box with a cute pink-ish glittery polish inside. And today I had the chance to try it out on nails.

And not to make it too simple and boring, I added some black polish on the tips of the nails.

Tried to make it as rough as possible to create a decent contrast between glitter and solid color.

And it looks good actually. I planned on doing nail video tomorrow but now I might postpone for another day to get a chance to wear this design for a little bit longer.

And here is how they look like:

Pictures are so sunny and bright <3 and you can see the little tomatoes growing. My grandmother always grows something on my windows. Every spring. 

I think this nail polish look pretty awesome. What do you think about it?

Have a super awesome day and comeback soon for something new for your nails.

Adore Box.

I know you are tired of my excuses for not doing nail art as much as I did, but I have one examination week left ahead of me and then I will continue  to create awesome stuff on my nails.

And so one sunny Friday I received a box full of awesome stuff!

The Adore Box  is a regular beauty box but it is only for the Baltic countries... And the company was created only relatively recently so that is why I have never ordered it before. AAANNND to be honest I thought that it would not be as good as any of the American beauty boxes. Don't know why but I just think like that lol

I have ordered a one month subscription, just to try it out at first. It  costed about $20. (9.99LS) by the way. I was pretty impressed with the content of this box! it even had A cute little card that said " For Karina" in Latvian. ( yes, the "ai" in the end of my name kinda means "for".. confusing, I know).

So it had A LOT of things that I really liked like lip balm, mascara, body lotions but the best thing in it was NAIL POLISH.

OH GOD YES.

I really liked the color of the polish but I have not tried it out yet on my nails....

BUT my mom has... and my grandmother.. I guess they have more time than me to spend on nails lol

And here is how it looked on my mom's nails - 

The polish is "layla ceramic effectt CE37".

I hope I will have a moment to try it on my nails.  I will tell you how it stays on the nails later.. when my mother tells me how she liked it. :)

Well, I guess it is all for today.

Back to preparing for Personnel Management exam tomorrow.

Come back soon <3
