P2 - Mint Flavour Dots, layering and swatch here

If this feels familiar you're correct. ;) This is pretty much the same as my orange look, it's not really because of lack of imagination, when I did the two I thought that it was fun, because it's the same brand of the shredded glitter. So I thought it would be fun to make them as a duo. :)

With flash.

Polishes used:
Essence Satin Matte top coat
KIKO - 341

31DC2015 - Day 4; green - Green drip drop nails

Here's my green nails for the 31 day challenge. As a base I used an El Corazon Polish (swatch here) and matched it up with some green dripping. I really like this nail art type, and a funny thing is that I had such problems with it 2 years ago, but now it's feels simple, even on both hands (even if cindy always will be less good). Hope you like it too. :)

Polishes used:
El Corazon - Bloggers - BL-5, Alla, Alla nails (swatch here)
Essence -
R de L young - Black

Also I'd like to make a shout out to some of my blogger friends joining; Traces Of Polish and My Nail Polish Online. Also you'll find them and more people in the inlinkz below. Also a big thank you to Chalkboardsnails for hosting this challenge. <3

31DC2015 - Day 2; orange - Matte orange cartoon inspired nails with glitter

Early this spring P2 released some matte shredded spring glitter, but on this base I think they fit for autumn too. (Thought I showed the glitter before, but that was the blue version..) Somehow this combo makes me think about autumn leafs or apples, if that makes sense? I also really love outlining my designs now days.. so this one got a cartoon like outline and black rhinestones. And matte top coat. What do you think? :)

Polishes used:
KIKO - 368
P2 - Cassis Passion Dots
R de L Young - Black
1 MM round black opaque rhinestones
Essence - Satin Matte Top Coat

Essence - Satin Matte Top Coat. Have I talked about this one before? I think it's an okay matte top coat, and it do give the nails a satin look. The thing I don't like with it is that it isn't possible to place shiny top coat on top (like for shiny+matte nail art designs) since this top coat really dulls/grays the surface permanently.

31DC2015 - Day 1; red - Red 'kiss me' skittelette nail art

Finally the first day of the 31 day challenge! I've missed this challenge a lot and last September I didn't have time for it. To be able to make the challenge this September I've decided to use partial of posts from my unpublished archive to be able to fill every day. Because of changing apartments and stuff I atm got like 5 polishes left to play with which means I have to buy some more in the end of this challenge (ooh poor me, right? ;) ) so I hope you don't mind that. :)

But here goes Day 1 - Red which I've chosen to call Red skittelette nail art. This one took quite some work. I was at the time I did this one very unsure of stamping and decided to make the text out of decals, which I figured I could cut out and place. That turned out horrible, I used SV for my decals and they got too thick and hard so I built up some curage and stamped the text directly on the nail, and wow, not too bad for a beginner imho. XD I also placed some rhinestones on my accent nail and did a gradient. I really like this combo and wouldn't mind recreating it in this color of even another color. Hope you like it! :)

Polishes used:
MoYou Stamping plate
P2 - Dating Time (swatch here)
Golden Rose - no 27 (swatch here)
MoYou Special White Polish (swatch and review here)
MoYou rhinestone wheel.


Also as I've stated before there is an offer for you on MoYou's site; if you buy a nail art set, any of you choice, you can pick one polish OR one image plate of your choice if you use my special offer code CEL246. Which polish or the number of the image plate you want, you write at the comment section at the checkout. You can use the code as many times you want, as long as you buy a nail art set. :D

El Corazon - Bloggers - BL-5, Alla, Alla nails; swatch

Today I have a LE collection polish from El Corazon, which is a bloggers collection and each polish is named after a blogger. Mine is from a blogger called Alla, Alla nails, a blogger I haven't heard about before, but that doesn't matter. :) This is a light green crelly with small matte green hexes, small white hexes and square glitters and black matte chredded glitter. There's still some slight VNL after 3 coats but not annoyingly much. This is REALLY my type of polish, just LOVE it!
This is also my contribution to Green Wednesday.

From a mani swap with lakobotan, she nailed this one! ;)

Also, hope you haven't missed my post about the 31DC which I'll jump in and join the 1st of September. :)

Dance Legend - Kiwano, swatch

Kiwano is a neon green jelly with black shredded glitter in it. And when I say neon I mean VERY neon, it looks like it is glowing, yet it isn't. And my camera freaks out in the process. Anyhow since I knew it was sheer (as jellies are) I decided to layer it over Kleancolor - Bikini Green. I used 3 coats to get the jelly sandwich effect for the shredded glitter. I'm not only liking this, I just LOVE it and wish I had all the colors in this collection. First I have some photos taken in direct sun light and after a few in natural light.
For more green shades, visit Green Wednesday.

Below are photos taken in natural light. As you can see the camera has problem with the neon and in effort to capture the color my hands looks slightly darker.

Polishes used:
Kleancolor - Bikini Green
Dance Legend - Kiwano

Kiwano I got from a nail polish swap with Lakobotan. :)




Oh, and also. This was my Mid summer manicure from this year! ^^
