Try, try try.

My nails were in a pretty bad shape for quite a while now. And as they started to look a little bit more adequate I have decided that it is time to start painting them once again. 

And to start off my nail journey of this year, I have decided to go with the simple but cute design. 

The nail polish used on these nails is Coral Reef from Avon. And I must say that the color has disappointed me this time. It used to be a really bright orange-ish color, which looked stunning every season. As my old nail polish dried out, I have decided to buy a new bottle of the same color and... Oh Go.

The color was completely different! It was pink-ish and not bright at all. Two coats made it look better but it is still not the same. Well that's a bummer.

Anyways, at least my nails look NEAT!

Feathery Dream.

I have recently visited Pet Expo 2013!

This is the only exposition that I visit annually for like 5-6 years now. I love every bit of it - all those kittens, puppies, ferrets, birds bunnies, all of them. Coming home with lots of presents for my lovely doggy I had inspiration for a very colorful nail art - feathers! And they are rally easy to draw - just grab a brush and draw tiny strokes in a feather shape. You can mix colors for a more colorful look.

Even though Pet Expo was on last Saturday and I painted my nails on that exact evening, I didn't had time to blog about it... For a number of reasons. But today is the day I share these nails with you!

This time there were more birds and dogs than cats, which is not a bad thing, it is just that I am used to seeing more cats there. But look at those feathery fellas, aren't they cute -

And, umm... The name of this breed made me smile - BASTARDS. It appeared to be a mixture of a canary and any other bird that agrees to.. well, you know.

Loved it.

Normal is an illusion.

So it is almost that time of the year again. Halloween has always had a special place in my heart, even though the country I was born in this holiday was never celebrated. It was so sad for me that people did not understand why do I carve pumpkins all day long or do scary makeup for the evening... I just like the feeling of this day, OK? It doesn't matter if I am the only one who is excited about it.

I am glad that my  boyfriend accompanies me on these things and always agrees to watch some silly "Halloween themed" movies.(And yes, I am extremely jumpy and it is annoying to watch scary movies with me in one room but he is a trooper lol. )

Today was the best day to make a post on these nails - the weather is Autumn-ish, which I adore, my birthday is only  2 hours away and I have The Addams Family members on my nails. I mean, how cool is that?!

It was a long time since the last time I did a nail art like this one, but drawing these faces using a fishing line wasn't something annoying. Maybe because of the good mood, and eternal love for these characters, I don't know. But I sure know that I am so proud of this nail art that I cannot stop showing it off.

Oh and since it was a perfect timing for nail art, we have made a new nail art video. Awesome, right? We have changed the format so that this way we can make the videos quicker, which means more often.

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?

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!

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.

Deftones Nail Art

Hello, sweethearts!

Did you guys miss me? First of all I'd like to apologies for not posting anything for two weeks now. I had a lot of things happening and I haven't been feeling well for a few days. As I am feeling a bit better today, I feel that I must make a post on the blog. We haven't filmed anything, but I think we will have a new video tutorial this weekend. I hate being sick, I hate staying at home and feeling sick. So I think I will be feeling as good as new till the end of the week! ^__^

I have chosen a "band-inspired"nail art to come back from the two week "break" from painting my nails.

This time it's Deftones!

I haven't been listening to them for two years or so, but recently I have discovered their albums on my phone and I started listening to their music again.

I am not complaining but it was pretty hard for me to do these tiny rose details... But I think I'll improve when I will be feeling better. :)

I know that this design is very simple, comparing to my other ideas - but bare with me this week.

Here is a great song for you, that is called "Good Morning, Beautiful" <3

"You should wake up before the wrath comes

me and you could take off before the wrath comes.."

Feel free to tell me what you think about these nails and come back this weekend <3

Valentine's Day Nail Art

Hello, my dear!

The real world has been taking all my time away lately, but I hope to find some more time to spend on nails.

They aren't in a "good shape", and I need to start recovering my nails. Maybe I need some vitamins?

Oh well..

The Valentine's Day is in a few days and as much as my boyfriend  hates this day, I am still excited to do something sweet for him. Can't say what.. He might take a look at this post lol.

Well, as the day is all about kisses, hearts and chocolate, I decided to do something ultra simple and super girly.

WELL... They might not be perfect this time. It was like the whole world was against me doing that design that day. Doesn't matter - had fun painting my nails while the love of my life was filming the mistakes I make lol.

Here is the video by the way - 

I honestly did not expect him to agree on participating in a girly video like this one... But he is the sweetest man on Earth!

PS. and , if you are reading this - thank you :*

Thank you for stopping by to read this and come back next time for more nail art <3

Angels And Airwaves Nail Art

The first thing that I must say is - It was a surprise for me  not to find an AVA inspired nail art when I Googled it. I mean, really?

If you have never listened to their masterpieces - shame on you! But here is a chance to make things right - I will post their song at the end of the post.

ANYWAYS, here is a quick preview in photos - 

Annnnd here is the video! TRUST ME it is worth watching - there is always "something special" added in it!

Not sure of how long it took me to make these, but I am pretty sure that not more that an hour.

What did I use for this? As always - toothpicks!! one side for the green body and the other for whit eyes aaaaaaaaaand you're done!

Thank you for stopping by today and have a great pre-Christmas weekend!

Justice League Silhouettes Nail Art

This week it will be simple as it can be. Justice League Silhouettes Nail Art. I think that the white background looks the best with the black figures, but it really does not matter at all.

It was not easy to make actually, I've been trying to make it look good several times and this is how the result looks like: 

I've used a mechanical pencil to draw the silhouettes, but if you want to try this design, it is better to use  needle or a toothpick.

When making the logos on them, you can try white acrylic paint, just beacause sometimes it is easier to apply making thin details. And also, if it came out too thick , you can always fix it using black polish and a toothpick.
