Gotham City Impostors Nail Art.

Well I guess the week has passed and it's time for the nail art, that was chosen by you. 
( By the way I'd like to thank everyone who voted this week! I'm not sure why the rest of you choose not to vote but I'm glad that at least some of you did.)
This weeks nail art is inspired by the new first-person shooter multiplayer-only video game called Gotham City Impostors.
If you never got round to playing it, the game is a squad-based shooter that lets up to 12 players (Batmanz vs. Jokerz) face-off on the streets of Gotham City.
I like the game because it actually lets you customize your own characters. Skinny Batman with cardboard mask on his head or muscular green haired Jokers wearing underwear over their pants - everything is possible in this game.
Long story short here is the nail art -

I chose to draw the portraits of the two main characters on thumbs simply because it would not be a Gotham inspired nail art without them.
Mainly all I did is I painted the nails in the colors of the characters, and added funny looking toy eyes, which I got at the craft store, simply because all the characters in the game are funny looking and a bit silly.
Tools, as usual - Toothpick. You don't need anything else to make this nail art. So go ahead and try it!
I have spent only an hour and a half on creating this design.

Thank you for stopping by! Be sure to come back next week for more fun and easy nail art!
And don't be scared to leave a comment!

PS. Adding more photos today, as requested-

Gradient Nail Art.

It's Wednesday again. And new nail art for you, my dear readers.
First of all - it's not video game inspired simply because there is not much people voting on the theme of the nail art (on the right) so that is why I'm postponing the game -inspired nail art 'till Saturday.
And while the voting is in progress, here is something else for your inspiration :

this is a pretty simple design to do on your nails. It does not require a professional skill on nail art. You just simply choose the colors you like, take a make-up sponge or whatever you think is suitable and start applying color by color towards the tip of the nail.
The next thing  you need to do is take your toothpick, or a needle, and start  drawing the trees and the grass with black nail polish.
Apply top coat and you're done!
Told you it was simple... And colorful!

Thank you for reading and have a nice day <3
Please, leave a vote and come back again this Saturday!

American Nail Art.

Hello and welcome back!
First of all I'd like to say that I'm sorry that the posts weren't published on time. I have so much to do now and sometimes I don't have time to make new nail art. But I'll try to keep up with the schedule, so expect something new every week!
I have made two flag themed nail art in a row because of the lack of free time. :( I will think of something more video game related for next time.. Promise. Anyways, here it is-

It's is really easy to make and it takes about an half an hour or so. It's perfect if you don't have two hours to make your nails look amazing, but you do want something pretty and eye-catching on your nails.

It turned out a bit messy on one of the thumbs but it still looks good enough.
To make this nail art you just need to use a toothpick (as usual).
Paint the nails white and use the toothpick to make the tars and stripes any way you like.

Thank you for stopping by and hope to see you next time.
Feel free to comment or share the blog -It would make my day.
Have a nice day! <3

Canadian Nail Art

Hello again!
This weeks nail art isn't geeky at all, simply because I'm spending a lot of the time doing research and so on. So here is something different -
(click to enlarge)
I need to say that these pictures were taken with the phone camera so they will not be a great quality, sorry for that. I didn't really planned on doing this design but it was quick and I hadn't enough time.
This time I'll keep it short and simple.

Thank you for reading, and have a great day!
Come back next week! <3

Scott Pilgrim vs The World Nail Art

Hello again!
As it is Wednesday already, here is something new for your nails:
Scott Pilgrim vs The World Nail Art!
(click to enlarge)

I've included all of Ramona's Seven Evil Exes, the gradient of her hair colors from the movie, Scott's band and D note (yes, all base notes are D regardless of sound).
I can't say that this design was easy for me. I haven't done a lot of portraits lately, especially that small, so it was a bit of a challenge. 
I used a toothpick to draw everything in the design. A fishing line would have worked better but I can't find mine anywhere.
I have chosen this theme because it is one of my favorite movies and I don't know why I haven't thought about this earlier.
I'm planning on making another Scott Pilgrim nail art later including other characters obviously.

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day!
Come back next week <3

Magic Purple/Sky Blue Color Changing Nail Polish.

Hello my dear readers!
This week I want to make a special post dedicated to one single nail polish that I fell in love with from the moment I've tried it on my nails.

I'm going to write about Magic Purple/Sky Blue Color Changing Mood Nail Polish from www.bornprettystore.com !

In case you are not sure what does the "color changing" part means, imagine mood rings that were popular back in the day.
This nail polish has the same effect as the rings - when applied on nails, it changes color based on the temperature. 
In this case it becomes sky blue when your hands are warm, and purple when your hands are cold!

To start with, I'd like to say that the shipping was absolutely free worldwide and it took a week or two to receive the package. So it's fast, easy and free which is a big plus.
I received this in the morning. 
And the first thing I did was trying it on my nails! And to be completely honest - it did look awesome but it started to peel off pretty quick, I assumed that it was because I didn't use the top coat (I was in a hurry) and I was right about that. So if you want this polish to last longer - use top coat. It works absolutely fine with it.

 To show you how this amazing nail polish works I have prepared two glasses with hot (warm) and cold water.

I'd like to mention as well that the polish applies smooth and evenly. It is not chunky and does not have any odor that you might not like. 
By the way, I found out that it takes a bit longer to dry if you use a base coat. I tried it with, or without base coat and I prefer to apply it without the base. It does not leave any stains on your nails (like red or green polishes do) so it's safe to use directly on nails.
I applied only one layer of the polish, simply because it was enough, but you can always make a second layer if you want to.

As my hands were cold (as they usually are) it turned purple as soon as it was dry.
In the picture it looks a bit like a lavender color, but it is actually a bit brighter purple.

When dipping my finger into the warm water, the polish turned sky blue, which I really liked!

And it turned purple in the cold water.


Here you can see the difference in colors and how pretty both of them look together or separately. And as my hands were cold the blue one started to change colors and was gradient for a while.( from purple to blue)
As it is cold outside, my nails looked awesome because the tips of the nails were cold and purple but the rest of the nail was blue and constantly changing. I mean like - wow. I liked this polish so much that I'd wear it every day for the rest of the autumn.
