Dot Nail Art

I hope you all had a good weekend, I sure did! And now I'm back with a new set of nails for you. It's a pretty easy nail art, but it still looks so good.

Dot Nail Art by Elins Nails

This is made using dotting tools in all different sizes and some great colors. I decided to do a accent nail just to spice it up a little.

I'm using my favorite nailpolish right now in this Nail Art. The golden one. It's from Gwen Stefain's OPI collect and its called Love Angel Music Baby. It's a lovely matte color, which they are calling satin. And you are not suppose to add topcoat on it, but I just think it's so amazing both without and with topcoat. I took a picture of this Nail Art before adding the topcoat so you can see for yourself. That picture you can find her below.

Jeans Nail Art - Wear Your Nails

The nails I wanna show you now is inspired by jeans. I bought this jeans affect nail polish not so long ago and I haven't tried it before so I thought now it was time that I did!




When I did these nails I started with base coat which is always a most. Then I put two layers of the demin effect nail polish on. Then with a striping brush and gold nail polish I did small lines in different patterns to look like the stitches that you find on the jeans. 


It was an easy design but it looks pretty good according to me. And I just wanna point out that it's not tipwear on the pinky. It kinda looks like that but it's gold nail polish there. Just had to get that out haha. 
I did these nails matte because I thought that brought out the jeans look more. 

I have been a little bad with my nail care the last few weeks so I know it looks so bad, but I'm gonna take better care of it now haha. I promise you all that! 



 The nail polishes I used -


Base coat - Isadora - Second Nail
Denim - Kubiss - Denim Nail Affect
Gold - Sephora - I'm A Rich Girl
Matte top coat - Essie - Matte About You

Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think about this design.

Ciaté Metallic Foil Nails

For these designs I used a method I haven't used before but it was pretty easy and I like the results of it.

Metallic Foil Nails by Elins Nails

For this I used the 'Very Colourfoil Manicure' kit from Ciaté.

Ciaté - Very Colourfoil Manicure

The kit includes a nail polish - Kiss Chase, Foil Fix (glue) and small pieces of what I guess we should call the Foil.

For this you start with base coat as normally to protect your nails. Then you put two layers of the nail polish which was included in the kit. When its completely dry you put some foil fix on some random spots on the nails and then put the foil paper on, just press it first and pull it off quickly. Then you just repeat putting on more foil until you are completely satisfied. Then finish with a coat of top coat. Super easy!

It's an easy method and it gives an great results without having to have loads of experience and time to make it super carefully. I think this is a great method where you can be a little sloppy but will still get a great design.

Justin Bieber Nail Art - Tribal Print

Been really busy in school lately so you all have to excuse my absence from the blog. These nails I'm gonna show you I made in a really hurry late evening. Because the day after I was leaving home at 4 am to go and start queuing for the Justin Bieber concert, and I just had to have nice nails for the occasion.

Justin Bieber Nails by Elins Nails

Its a pretty easy design. I just painted all the nails except one black and the last one gold for an accent nail. On the black nails I took a striping brush and a small dotting tool and made gold tribal prints on it. On the accent nail I did my best to write Justin Bieber. 

This was all for now, and I'm praying I will get more time for my nails and the blog in the future.

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.

Golden Arrow Nails by Elins Nails

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. 


Blue Pinky Challenge by Elins Nails


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 -


Don't forget base coat to protect your nails.
Wine Red - Sephora - Red Berries Smoothie 
Guld - Sephora - I'm A Rich Girl 
Blue - Ciaté - Headliner
Lighter blue - OPI - Can't find my Czechbook
Top coat - Seche Vite

Thanks for reading my blog and remember, gang up for good!

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.



St. Patrick Day Nails by Elins Nails

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.
