Autumn gradient and desperation. Well not really.

Oh, gradients… They never actually were “my thing” in nail design. But this time I was so proud of what came out of the random idea to combine two colors, that I was showing my nails to everyone who was willing to see it.  I did not plan to do this gradient and definitely did not plan to make a post on this, but I fell in love with this autumn color combination. 

I don't need to tell you how to create gradient, right? But in case I need to - paint your nails a color of your choice, grab a cosmetic sponge, apply  the colors you want your gradient to be like so -

And tap it on your nail. And when you are done, you should have a pretty gradient on your nails. Just clean up excess polish from the skin and you are done.

Mine looked like this. (pardon my photos, These were taken by phone.) 

You know what grinds my gears? The fact that I cannot get any nail polish that I want… I saw a post on facebook about OPI Rock Goddess mini pack and immediately thought that I NEED TO GET THAT. I mean I understand that this mini set had some bad reviews, a lot of people said that the formula isn't the best and the colors aren't unique, but guys… I need it, ok?

 And as soon as I looked for it online I got a heartbreaking news – Sorry, we don’t ship to your country. Why? Why me?  I am officially leaving this country pretty soon. But while I am here, please, pretty please don’t make my life worse? No comic books in this country, no Iron Fist/Macbeth/Doc. Martens, no OPI… And now no SHIPPING? (Check my Instagram  for a picture) Well ok, some of them do ship here but it usually costs even more than an item I wish to order and you need to wait a million years for it to get here. This is… OK I am used to this stuff already. But I hate it.
Every time this happens I hear in my head ( You will never get this lalalalala ) -

Anyways, please tell me that this mini set is not worth my nerves. And know that I envy every singe one of you who has a chance to go and buy that kind of stuff in your country.

Ok then… I’ll go and paint my nails with any other nail polish instead.

Love,

K.

Match my socks!

Hello there. I think you have already got used to me disappearing on you like that from time to time. But would you believe me if I told you that real life sometimes takes all your time. And believe me, I'd rather do nail art then all of the stuff I NEED to do. Whatever.

So to come back this October I decided to post some nails I did back in September and did not had a chance to post them.

I decided to do something super easy and something.. to actually match one of my favorite pair of socks.

Kind of  a silly idea, but I really liked it. Simple, cute and girly... So not my type of nail art, right?

But anyways, I am almost dome with all of the things that needed to be taken care of, and pretty soon I'll be back on the track.

By the way, I have started another blog while I was wasting the nights away -

If you are interested of getting my not-so-manly reviews on the games I recently played, you are welcome to follow!

Bloody red.

Something simple. Something completely out of the ordinary for my blog. But take a look how gorgeous a simple red color on your nails can be.

Basically, I started with a red base and thought that this will be it. I had some stuff to do and didn't really had time for anything special that day. So I went out and bought the simplest, the most common and expected nail  polish color. 

I simply cannot walk around with "naked" nails anymore. So at least a color on them sounded good enough. But as soon as I applied it... It looked so empty. So I grabbed the first glitter polish that I could find and applied right on top on the nails. And here it was - the final form for the nails. 

And so I was walking around with nails like that for 2 days, until I had enough of it. The simplicity is killing me, OK?

By the time I got home I already knew what will I do with my nails. I saw something similar to these nails on some cheap fake plastic nails, that one girl was wearing at work. and I knew exactly that I needed to to this.

Here is how my nails looked like, and how they look now - 

To be honest I am not sure if I am happy with them or not. But as long as they are "different" I am OK with it.

Do you like to stand out?

'Cause back in school we are the leaders of it all.

I cannot believe it is September!

I mean WOW did summer passed quick. But don't get me wrong, I LOVE autumn. All those trees changing colors and the wind and my doc martens boots. <3 (fuck yeah)

But lets get back to nail art, shall we?

I am not sure about all the other countries but where I am from 1st of September is a Day of knowledge. And on this day all schools and universities start  lectures.

So I thought that I needed something that reminds me of school.. And one of the subjects I hated the most was geometry. And first thing that comes to my mind when I say "geometry" is a ruler... So I've put one on my nails.

This is super easy to do and it gives your nails a little bit of a "back to school" feeling. All you need is some striping tape and 30 minutes of your time.

Go on and try this design out! I am pretty sure you'll love it.

And here is a song for the mood - 

Deftones - Back to school

Macbeth Nails.

I wear my Macbeth shoes like every day, if it not freezing outside... Or if it is not melting because of the freaking heat. But even then I wear my Macbeths from time to time.

So where was I.. Oh yeah - NAILS!

I decided that my nails should match my shoes aaaanndd this was a great idea. Honesty like how my nail look like.

What I did to make my nails match the shoes? I took a piece of fishing line, as I usually do, and WRITE WRITE WRITE on my nails! Then added a logo on the thumbs annnd here we are - DONE!

Best shoes! EVER!

Thank you for the inspiration!

Cats, cats everywhere.

Cats are super awesome, OK?! But one thing that bothers me is that... I am allergic to them. How horrible  is that!? I mean really, I'd pet them all day long if I could. There are more than 5 cats living right outside my house, I see them everywhere everyday and I cannot touch them.

But I found a way to solve this - CATS ON NAILS!

YUP! I am wearing cat-inspired nail art and now I have 10 cats, instead of none. And the best part is that I don't sneeze and cry around them lol. Hope my staffordshire terrier won't get jealous because of this.

This nail art was extremely easy. Super quick to do - just a background for the cats fur color, and faces done with a toothpick and black/white nail polish.

You guys should try this one out on your nails. It is if you like cats, of course. :)

So what do you think? Meow meow??

In The Music Mood.

The weekend passes by so quick.. I can't believe I need to go to work tomorrow already. But at least this time I haven't wasted all my free time for nothing -  I was playing guitar all weekend! I am so very proud of myself because for the last few months all I did on my day offs is sleep. What a shame.

But not this time. I will not waste my precious time anymore. 

So when I was choosing a pick to play with I ended up choosing one of my favorite ones - green fender pick, which ended up being an inspiration for my nail art for the next few days! I took a piece of fishing line, green and black polishes and did this on my nails really quick.

Here is how my nails look like-

I love my nails, I love this weekend, I love my guitar.

Come back again for more nail art and have an awesome day!
