Texas Nail Art

I have since a few months back worked on becoming an Au Pair in the US, and last week I finally found my host family. So in less then a month I will be going to Texas to work as an Au Pair there for the next year. My updating might be really bad during that time but I will try to update some. So to celebrate this I did Texas nails, with the Texas flag. And I know the flag is wrong for this angle but from my angle the flag is right. So you just have to imagine it or turn your computer upside down or something.

To do this nails I started with base coat and then two layers of white. Then with the red nail polish I painted half the nail, using the nail polish bottle brush. Then with a pretty thin brush I painted the blue on freehand. 

Then I thought about painting white stars on the blue but then I decided to just use some star charms on instead. Taking the easy way out. 

The Nail polishes I used are these -

Don't forget to use base coat to protect your nails.

White - OPI - Alpine Coat

Blue - China Glaze - First Mate

Red - Gina Tricot - Formula One

Top Coat - Nails Inc - Caviar Top Coat

Swatch - MIYO Summer Flower

Since I don't have a design to show you today I wanna share a swatch of a nail polish that I got in present not so long ago. I got it when I took my drivers license actually!

The brand is MIYO and the color is called Summer Flower.

It's a very pretty pink cream polish. It had a great formula and looked great with two coats. 

The special thing about this nail polish is that it's scented. I guess it's suppose to smell like summer flowers because of the name. It smells great and I was smelling my nails non stop when I had it one, which sounds a little creepy. 

Swatch - Nails Inc. Leather Effect

Here comes a swatch for all of you guys. When I first saw this on a few blogs I knew exactly that I just had to have it. So when I saw it standing on the shelf at Sephora I just had to take it.

This nail polish dries to a surface that is suppose to remind of leather. It's almost like OPI's liquid sand polishes but it doesn't dry to such a grainy surface. It's actually pretty soft, but still not. It's so hard to explain. 

To do something fun about this I added some design over it with white nail polish. Black and white can never go wrong. I didn't add some top coat over this to not destroy the charm with this nail polish. 

With this kit you got some studs and crystal with it, which I'm saving for another time. 

What you think about this? 

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.
