Galaxy Nail Art - My nails are out of this world

Today I thought I would share this galaxy Nail Art which I made. I'm pretty satisfied with these nails, except for the fact that the glitter I put on top of it was to compact. Which I didn't really know before. But other then that its a pretty easy design all you need is some cool nailpolishes and a make up sponge and then you are good to go.

To do this design I started with two layers of a dark blue with a little bit of shimmer in it. Then with a make up sponge I put on a little pink, a light blue and then at last purple. Then to top it all of and give it that 'Out of this world' feeling I added some holographic topcoat. 

Then with a white striping nailpolish I made some stars on and then made some smaller stars with a dotting tool. And then I did that thing I regret the most, I wanted more glitter so I grabbed this new glitter striping nailpolish and made some random things on the nail. Lucky me it didn't look so bad in real. 

To end it all I added a layer of topcoat, to just put the finish touch on it. Making it all smooth and shiny.

 The nailpolishes I used for this design is these - 

Base coat - Isadora - Second Nail

Dark Blue - China Glaze - Up All Night

Pink - Essie - Cute As A Button

Light Blue - China Glaze - Flyin' High

Purple - Mavala - Samarkand

White - Kiss Nail Art

Glitter - Kiss Nail Art

And then I realized I forgot the top coats I used -

Holographic - Ciaté - Halo

Top Coat - Seche Vite

Sunset Inspired Nails - including glitter and studs.

Today I wanted to do a gradient, and because of all the beautiful sunsets right now I let my gradient be inspired by that. I don't know if it turned out the way I hoped, but I'm pretty satisfied with it anyways and think it ended up pretty good and thats what counts doesn't it?

For this design I have three different orange colors. I started with base coat and then two coats of the lightest orange color. Then to do the gradient I took a make up sponge and painted all the three shades of orange on it. You have to put on quite a few layers because the sponge takes in a lot of the nail polish. Then I just dabbed it on the nail. Did this a few times letting it dry between to get the results that I wanted. 

It was the first time I did a gradient like this and I'm pretty happy about how it turned out. The only thing I think I didn't do so good was the I dabbed it to low on the nail and it didn't get so much of the lightest color in the end. But practice makes perfect and I'm sure I will think about that the next time I do a gradient.

To make it all a little funnier I added a holographic top coat on it. Then to make it a little special I wanted to make a fun accent nail. So I went though my boxes and found some studs I never used. The first one I put on I just put on the the wet top coat. But then I thought it would probably look better if I added some more studs. But by then the top coat had dried and I had to use some glue. And to just sum it up it didn't end so well which you can probably notice. But my favorite saying is practice makes perfect so I will just stick with that now too. 

The nail polish I used for this -

Base coat - Isadora - Second Nail

Lightest orange - Mavala - Fresh Melon

Middle Orange - Isadora - South Beach 

Darkest Orange - Ciaté - Speed Dial

Holographic top coat - Ciaté - Halo

Top coat - Seche Vite

Nails inspired by art by Keith Haring.

Trying to come up with new design I looked through my memory to find some thing to get inspired from. Then I remembered this artist that we talked about in art class years ago.

The artist was Keith Haring. So here comes the results of my nails inspired by Keith Haring.

This is the work that inspired my nails.

To do this nails I started of with a coat base coat and then two coats of white. Then I used a thin brush to paint all the characters and then with a striping brush I did all the black lines around them. The heart I did with a dotting tool though. Topped it off with a top coat and its done!

To do this design I started with a base coat as usually. Then I painted two layers of black. Once it was completely dry I freehand painted with a thin brush and then added some dots with a dotting tool just to make it a little prettier. 

Then I just added a layer of top coat for the finishing touch.

Polkadot Nail Art

Today I'm going with an easy design that looks pretty anyways. Polka dots! Who doesn't love polka dot nails? I went a safe color match and went with one color, but different shades of course.  It's something that can never go wrong and it looks amazing.

I started with two layers of the lightest green. Then I took one of the smallest dotting tools I have and made dots with my darker green.

It looks pretty good according to me, so I'm satisfied. I love the color match.

Band Nails - One Direction Nail Art

Tomorrow I will be on my way to Denmark to go on a concert and I just had to paint my nails for this special occasion. I'm going to see One Direction, my favorite band. I seen them before and then I had nails inspired by them too.

Since all the nails are different I will explain how I did them one by one. First I put on base coat on all my nails. 

On my index finger I have the Irish flag, because Niall in the group is from Ireland. I started with two layers of white. Then I actually used the nail polishes brushes to paint the green and orange on it. 

For the middle finger I started with two layers of red and then with a striping brush I wrote TMH which stands for Take Me Home which is the name of their newest album and the tour. 

On the ring finger I painted the british flag because the four other members are from UK. For this I started with two layers blue and with a a striping brush I painted the white and then the red on it.

And then my pinky I wrote the first letter of every member. I started with two layers of white and then with the colors I used for the rest of the nails I wrote it with a striping brush. And then with a small dotting tool I made a heart. 

And on my thumb I did One Directions logo with a striping brush. Started with two layers of red first. 

The nail polishes I used- 

Don't forget base coat.

Cherry Blossom Tree Nail Art

Here comes a fast post, because I'm exhausted after a long day. If I'm gonna be honest I only painted one hand so I could show you all here on the blog. I apologize for the pictures here in forehand because I been playing badminton all evening and my arm is tired. Could barely hold the camera still because my arm was shaking so much, haha.

Todays design is a cherry blossom design. I'm pretty satisfied with it, it looks cool.

To to this I started with base coat and then two layers of a light blue nail polish. Then with a striping brush I painted some branches. Then with dotting tools I first made dark pink dots on the branches and then lighter pink dots around that. Then I just finished it off with a top coat to smooth everything down and make it shiny and pretty. 

The nail polishes I used for this design -

Always use a base coat too.

Star Nail Art - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

The nails I wanna show you today came into my nails when I was home sick with a bad cold and fever. I was feeling down and just needed some color to cheer me up. So colorful nails was what I wanted. The design wasn't the easiest design and it didn't make it better that all my nails are so short. They all broke when I wasn't wearing nail polish for a week, shame on me.

Painting stars aren't my biggest talent let me tell you that, and painting them with a small striping brush didn't make it easier. But I did my best. I started with base coat and then two layers of white. Then with my three colorful nail polishes I made different sized stars over my nails. 

Then with a small dotting tool I made dots with the same three colors just to fill up the blank spaces. On my right hand I just made dots, didn't even dare to try painting stars with my left hand. 

The nail polishes I used -

Always start with a base coat.

Butterfly Nail Art

It seems like spring is finally here for real this time. I think I may have celebrated it a little to early when I said it the last time, of course it started snowing after that. But now this good weather been holding on for a while so I think it's finally time to celebrate that spring is here, for real this time.

Because of this I wanted to do something springy, and purple. That's what I had in my mind so that was what I did.

I started thinking about this design I seen everywhere on the internet already. When I think about spring I think about the flowers which starts blossoming and the animal life wakes up after the cold winter. So that's why my nails currently have a butterfly design on them.

For this design I started of with a base coat, which is a must to protect your nails. And then I made a purple gradient. I don't think I really gotten the hold of this gradient thingy, but I still keep doing it. But practice makes perfect right? I did the gradient with a make up sponge which I used to just dab the lighter purple on the darker purple.

Then I took a striping brush and with black nail polish I first made a curved line at the bottom of the nail. And then from the curved line I made more curved lines to the tip of the nail. After that I made some small curvy lines between the curved lines. And this is starting to sound pretty funny, loads of curved lines. Then I painted black on the tip of the nail from the small curved lines and up. With a dotting tool I made white dots on the black tip. 

This is how it looks when you see it from the right side. 

The nail polishes I used for this design is -

Don't forget the base coat.

Herringbone Nails

I hope everyone of you had a great easter. I had a great one, except I ended up with the flu which isn't that much fun.

For this design I started with picking up a nail polish which I knew I wanted to use. I just got the nail polish in the mail not so long ago. I bought it online because you can't really get it here in sweden. But the brand is Nicole By OPI and it's from their Kardashian collection and it's a really barbie pink color. So I started painting my nails with this polish without having an actual plan about what I was suppose to do. Which was such a smart move from my side, or not. But in the end I decided I would do some kind of herringbone design, and it turned out pretty good if I can say so myself.

I started painting all the lines with a striping brush. My pinky didn't turn out that great, but I have to live with that. I added on white nail with pink lines instead like an accent nail. 

I added some glitter and some mini herringbones in the design and voila - this was the results of that. 

The nail polishes I used in this design was - 

Don't forget the important base coat when you paint your nails.

Easter Nails

Easter is here and I'm finally allowed to do Easter design, which I love. Easter is colorful and pastel colors fit perfectly here.

For this design I started with five base colors, one for every finger. And these colors where the main colors in my design which I used the most of. Then I added two accent nail where I added some other colors.

I started with painting all the nails with base coat and then every nail with the base color I decided for them. I went on pretty light colors, like pastel like. I did my pinky blue on purpose to continue with the blue pinky challenge, which you can read more about in last post. The thumb that you can't see on this picture is the green polish that you can see on the rest of the nails. The three nails are then suppose to look something like an Easter egg. So with the five base colors I made some zigzag lines and straight lines with a striping brush. Then some random dots with a dotting tool. Added some white dots too to fill the empty spaces because I didn't want the to use the same color next to each other. 

On my ring finger is then suppose to be the Easter bunny. I started with painting the shape with a striping brush and then with a larger brush I filled it in. Then I did the eyes and nose with different sized dotting tools. Take notice its not skew-eyed like it usually is haha. Then I added the whiskers and then with a dotting tool I added some light pink on the cheeks and ears. 

My thumb have a little chicken on it. The body is made with dotting tools and also the eyes. The hair, neb and eggshell is made with a striping brush. 

The tons on nail polish I used for this -

Don't forget the base coat.

Golden Arrow Nails

Here comes and easy design because I strained my hand and wanted to do something I could do with one and a half hand. So this is what I ended up with. Before you look at the pictures you will probably think I'm going crazy or something or lost my color sense, but I will explain it all in the post.

I also apologize for the bad pictures, not easy to take pictures when I can't bend my wrist, haha.

To do this nails I started with a base coat on all the nails. Then I painted all my fingers except my ring finger and pinky golden. My ring finger wine red as an accent nail and then my pinky blue. 

On my golden finger I painted some arrow figures with wine red with a striping brush and then golden arrows on my wine red finger.  It kinda reminds me if Iron Man with these colors. 

So now lets talk about my pinky. I did a blue gradient. And many problem wonders why? So let me tell you about it. There is this organization called 'Mean Stinks', and they wanna reduce the girl-on-girl bullying. That's why they have this thing called 'The Blue Pinky Challenge' with says that you are gonna paint your pinky blue. It's suppose to represent that you do a blue pinky swear to stand up for bullying and gang up for good. I thought this was a good idea and I think you all should do it. Bullying is a good problem and if no one takes care of it it will only get worse, so stand up for bullying and gang up for good. 

The nail polishes I used are these -
