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 

Please leave a comment saying what you think about this design, thanks.

Tribal Nails

Sorry for not updating in a while. Been working, been on vacation and just been general lazy. I haven't even painted my nails in so long which isn't alike me at all.

But now I'm back and I'm back with a tribal printed nail art. Some girl even asked me if they were stickers when I was out shopping. I guess that's something good, haha.

I know the lines aren't the straightest lines and the cleanest clean up, but it's what I got for you today. For this design I used a striping brush and a dotting tool.

The nail polishes I used for this design -

 Don't forget base coat to protect your nails.

White - OPI - Alpine Snow

Pink - Essie - Watermelon

Blue/Green - Essie - Turquoise & Caicos

Prom Nails - Lace Nail Art

Todays post is my prom nails. Inspired by my prom outfit.

I'm currently out in the woods, hiking, so this will be a mobile post. So I will just include a picture of my nails and my prom outfit.

I was suppose to wear a lace thingy over so thats the point with the lace on my nails. 

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. 

Darker purple - Mavala - Samarkand

Lighter Purple - OPI - You're Such A Budapest 

Black -  Isadora - Gothic Black

White - OPI - Alpine Snow

Top coat - Seche Vite

Easter Nails - Colorful Polka Dots Nails with Gradient

I hope you all are having a great easter weekend so far. I thought I would share my second and last easter designs for this year. I wanted to do more, but unfortunately my fantasy ended here and all my ideas just reminded me of the one I already did so I thought I would draw the line here.

This design is pretty colorful, which I think is very suiting for easter. I don't know why but I see easter as a colorful holiday. This design consist of gradients and polka dots. I even did something I don't usually do, I did the nails matte. I usually wear the design a while with regular top coat and then do it matte.

I started with base coat on all the nails and then two layers of white. Then I did gradients with a different color on every nail. The gradient I did with a make up sponge which I used to dab the colors on the white nails. Then with a dotting tool I made white polka dots all over the nail. 

I think it had gave a great affect with the white polka dots with the color to white gradient. 

The nail polishes I used for this design is these -

Always use a base coat first.

White - OPI - Alpine Snow

Green - Sephora - Lime Cocktail

Purple - Rimmel - 312 Ultra Violet

Yellow - Face Stockholm - 171

Orange - Isadora - South Beach

Pink - Gina Tricot - Candyfloss

Matte Top Coat - Essie - Matte About You

Please leave a comment about the design, I would mean a lot to me.

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.

St. Patricks Day Nails

Tomorrow is Irelands national day, also called St. Patricks Day. It's the day you are suppose to wear green, or else people have permission to pinch you I just read online. So you better wear green if you don't wanna get pinched, haha.

I just had to paint my nails for this occasion. So I took all my green polishes and put them in front of me, trying to come up with something to do. Put then I just thought I want colorful, so I grabbed loads of other nail polishes too. It was a hell putting them all back later, just fyi. But then I came up with something. So I hope you like this.

So lets first talk about my accent nail. I just love doing accent nails! But after the putting base coat on I painted my ring finger in a light blue color. Then I started to paint a rainbow with a striping brush. You have no idea how many times I have to start over with this nail because apparently I don't know which colors and where they are in the rainbow. But after I finally got it right, I hope, I made a kettle with the brush on the nail polish and then with a dotting tool I made some gold over it.

For the rest of the nails I started with a light green color. and then with two darker shades of green and a dotting tool I made some clover alike things over the nail. A little failed but that's how it is. 

On my thumb I made a little fail Irish flag, made with the nail polishes brushes.

Spring Nails - Colorful Flower Nails

Spring is finally here. This morning my thick winter jacket went into the closet, the sun is shining and the birds are singing their songs. This I'm celebrating with some new nails. I'm gonna apologize for my lack of inspiration lately. Hoping I full of inspiration now when the gray winter days are over.

When I did these nails I wanted color, fun colors, springy colors. I couldn't chose just a few ones, I wanted as many as possible. These nails even gave me a little vintage feeling over these, but maybe that's only me? But I'm satisfied with these and think they are pretty .... springy?

Also apologizing for my cuticles. Can't find my cuticle cream, I'm almost panicking. Then the flash makes it even worse. You have to look at my nails extra much, and I will try finding a new cuticle cream!

For this I started with base coat. Then I painted all nails with two layers of white. Then two shades of the color you want from the flowers and the green for the leaf. One light and one darker. You can do all the flowers in on color if you don't want to. I just wanted to be really colorful. The flowers are done with a a kinda big dotting tool first with the darker color. Then with a smaller dotting tool I made some pattern with the lighter color. 

With a small brush I painted the leaf with the dark green. Then I made some thinner line with the lighter green over that. It doesn't really show in the picture put it looks good in real life. 

My thumb is checking in too, to show you another color combo. 

The nail polishes I used for this is - 

White - OPI - Alpine Snow

Dark orange - Ciaté - Speed Dial

Light Orange - Mavala - Fresh Melon

Dark Blue - Sephora - Curaçao

Light Blue - China Glaze - Kinetic Candy

Dark Yellow - China Glaze - Sunshine Pop 

Light Yellow - Ciaté - Big Yellow Taxi

Dark Purple - Rimmel - Ultra Violet

Dark Pink - H&M - City 

Light Pink - Gina Tricot - Candyfloss

Dark green - Viva La Diva - 056

Light Green - Ciaté - Mojito

I hope you like this design as much as I do. 

Might write here that you can follow me on instagram - elinbeliebs. There come up some behind the scenes sometimes and sometimes designs come up here sometimes earlier then here.

Pastel Tribal Nails

Finally here you go a new design for you. For this design I used the nail polish OPI - You're Such A Budapest which I swatched for you last week. It's like purple pastel color according to me. I wanted to match this with other light colors and get a colorful and light design to chase the boring winter weather away. But apparently it didn't work so well because there came even more snow today. Don't want more snow now, it was fun for a while but now its not anymore. I thought this ended up being a good design and it was a good color match.

To do this design I started with three layers of the purple, over the base coat of course. Then I did gradients on all the nails except my middle finger. I did gradients in two different colors, the blue and pink. The with the a striping brush I did the tribal prints with white nail polish. I even added some dots with a dotting tool. 

The lines are not the straightest once and I got a little tip wear because I was to lazy to take pictures when I finished them and waited 2 days. Shame on me.

The nail polishes I used for this design is - 

Don't forget your base coat. 

Purple - OPI - You're A Such A Budapest

Pink - Essie - Splash Of Grenadine

Blue - China Glaze - Kinetic Candy

White - OPI - Alpine Snow 

Top Coat - Seche Vite

Swatch - OPI You're Such A Budapest

Today I tried a new polish from OPI's Euro Central collection. It came out in the start of february if I'm not totally wrong. I went into the store to buy some nail polish remover and came out with this. Told my self it was a belated Valentines Day gift to myself to feel lest guilty. I bought myself an OPI polish this weekend too.

But from the collection, this one, Suzi's Hungary Again and Can't Find My Czechbook is my favorite ones. Just the colors I wanna wear this spring. Hopefully the other two will be in my possession soon.

But back to You're Such A Budapest, its a light purple color with a small amount of shimmer in it. Almost a little pastel like. I think pastel is gonna be big this spring, or at least I hope so because I'm lovin' it.

The picture doesn't really show the color justice, it's lighter in real. The formula for this wasn't the best, I'm wearing three layers on the picture and it's still not perfect. But this might be something I can over look just because of how beautiful the color is. 

There will be an design up soon with this nail polish so check in again soon. 

Heart Cheetah Print Nail

I'm back with another Valentines Day design. I got loads of ideas in my head right now so hopefully there will be a few more if I got the time for it.

This design is a twist of the cheetah print, also know as my all time favorite design. It's just so easy and there is so many ways to do it. All colors work with it. I like this design, it's not as much as valentines day design as the others I done though. But this is a great way to spicy up the cheetah print design.

For this I have just used dotting tools. What I added to this design is the pink and purple hearts to the brown prints. Thought it gave it a little color kick. 

I started with a pretty sheer color and when you do that it's always good to start with white first to don't have to add loads of layers of the sheer color. I already had white gellac under. One of the colors I used are a liquid sand polish, love how they look when you add a top coat. 

The nail polishes I used - 

Always start with a base coat!

Base coat - OPI - Natural Nail Base Coat

Light brown - Ciaté - Cookies And Cream 

Pink - OPI - Pompeii Purple

Purple - OPI - Can't Let Go

Brown - OPI - You Don't Know Jacques

Black - Isadora - Gothic Black

Top Coat - Seche Vite

Hope you like this design. 

Colorful Striped Nails

Here comes an new design that I have no idea what to call. It's a pretty abstract, and very colorful. Which I like, to light up the ugly gray weather outside. Really don't want more snow now.

The design is inspired by a painting I saw on instagram which you can find here.

To do this design I started with base coat to protect my nails. Then I painted all the nails with 2 layers of white to have a good base so I didn't have to use how many layers of the colors I used over it. Then when it was completely dry I took a brush and just started to doing different triangle shapes over the nails in different colors. 

After some time when I finishes all the triangles in all the different colors, I took a striping brush and first painted black lines around the edges of all the colors triangles. Then I did lines inside the triangles. 

I'm really happy with this design, it took some time but it was all worth it I think. 

The nail polishes I used are these -

Base coat - Isadora - Second Nail

White - China Glaze - White Out

Pink - Essie - Splash Of Grenadine

Blue - Ciaté - Headliner

Purple - H&M - Liberty Girl

Yellow - Ciaté - Big Yellow Taxi

Pink - H&M - Pink Preppy

Green - Mavala - Pistachio

Blue - H&M - Turquoise 

Purple - H&M - Lilac Plum

Beige - Ciaté - Cookies And Cream

Black - Isadora - Gothic Black

Top Coat - Seche Vite
