The World Is Not Enough

Merry Christmas everyone!
Christmas nails are coming up soon, first I want to introduce the first manicure I did with my  new mini polishes. :)

I used The World Is Not Enough, which was a bit opaque, but with 3 layers I got enough coverage. Although I love all the four polishes, this was my least favorite out of them so I decided to save the best for last and start with this one. Besides Goldeneye and the Spy Who Loved Me just scream 'christmas manicure!', so that's what I'm planning to do with them. ;)

My camera doesn't do justice to this polish... I can't really decide what colour it is, which is why I had a hard time figuring out how to decorate it, but eventually I decided it's silver and went with white nail art and rhinestones. I also used tiny white roses and micro pearls. :)
Next up, christmas manicure! ^^

Diamonds & Gold

Hello everyone!
I recovered (hopefully!) from my previous blogger crisis... Let me know if you can see the pictures, I have now started to use Photobucket, hopefully successfully! :) Thank you so much for the advise, shiny! Huh, maybe I've learnt my lesson - from now on I'll think before I upload. =_= Still, I love posts with lots of pictures, why does blogger have to be so greedy? >:(

So, as I promised - my latest nails! I hadn't done anything special on my nails for so long, that I almost went over the top.... :'D But I am so happy with the result! Also I kinda felt I had to prove myself I can still create beautiful nail art and details!

I used Be a Dahlia Won't You? by OPI and Golden Rose nail art polish in gold for the swirls. I just love that polish, it would've been gorgeus even without the decorations but oh well. The diamonds and micro pearls are from a local craft store. :)
Also, lately I havent been happy with the quality of the pictures on my old Olympus digital camera, so I've tried to take my nail photos with my Canon supercamera... xD Sadly I only have this huge zoom lense, which is perfect for taking pictures from long distance, not so great for trying to take close ups from your own nails if you know what I mean... :'D Haha, I need my own nail photographer if I wanna keep up with that camera. :P What do you guys think of the quality? worth it?

I know these are a bit out of focus, I have to use auto focus because I can't focus manually with one hand. ::D Well, I keep practising, see you soon! ^^

Rhinestones

I really want to update more often but I simply don't have time.. :/ But anyways, here's another manicure I did in summer. ^^

Creative - Baroque (not sure if I remember it right, but anyways :'D)

Just love it, such a beautiful dark red! ^^

They don't sell my favorite nail glue anymore, and this new one is driving me crazy.... >_< I can't remember the name, but it was pink gel glue. This new one isn't gel-like as the old one, so it's more difficult to apply easily... I had nail glue all over my cuticles. :< I like the result though! ^^
I think I'll post some newer designs next time, I have loads of pics in my camera! ::D

Jälleen yhdet kynnet kesältä! Seuraavaksi julkaisen varmaan jotain vähän uudempaa, kamera on taas täynnä uusia kuvia... :'D
Näihin käytin kuitenkin melko vanhaa Creativen lakkaa, nimi oli muistaakseni Baroque. Blingejä liimasin vain nimettömään, koska vanha kynsiliimani loppui enkä tykkää uudesta... :< Tietääkö kukaan mistä saa niitä kynsiliimoja mitä Seppälässä myytiin ennen?? En muista nimeä, mutta pakkauksessa luki ainakin pink gel glue. :P Tämä uusi nimittäin leviää helposti pitkin kynsinauhoja... :'D

So girly (I'm BACK!!)

Yeeeyy I'm finally back in business! :D And I've missed you all so much! :'D Thank you for your patience and sorry that it took so long to get back... Our internet wasn't working when we got here, it takes so much time to get everything working here. :'D But now I've finally moved in The UAE properly and started my school here. So much stuff has happened lately, I don't even know where to start! I miss my friends in Finland, but I've met so many amazing people here and got lots of new friends! <3 Everything is so different here compared to Finland... :P We also celebrated my 18th birthday few days ago! ;D And btw, this is my 100th blog post! Oh my gosh how fast everything is happening... xD Hahaha I'm so happy at the moment! xD
Anyways, now back to nails. I did lots of different designs on my holiday, and this is the first one of them. I loved it... ^^

I don't have pictures of what I used, but it's some old Wet'n'Wild polish... :'D

It was quite a lot of work to glue on all the little things but I enjoyed making these and loved the result! ^^
Now I think I'll start posting once a week, because school here takes a lot of my time... But I love to be back, I missed blogging while I was away! <3

Täällä ollaan taas!! :D Nyt olen virallisesti muuttanut Emiraatteihin ja aloittanut täällä koulun. Kaikki on ihan erilaista kuin Suomessa, mutta oon tavannut ihania ihmisiä ja viihdyn täällä. ^^ On kyllä hirveä ikävä kaikkia suomalaisia! ;__; Viime aikoina on tapahtunut ihan hirveästi kaikkea... Vietin 18 vuotissynttäreitäni pari päivää sitten! ;D Ja tämä on sadas blogitekstini... Huh miten nopeesti aika menee! xD
Ihanaa päästä taas bloggaamaan, olisin aloittanut jo viime viikolla mutta kesti saada netti toimimaan... Täällä yleensä kestää saada kaikki toimimaan. :P Tein lomalla aika paljon kynsiä, ja tässä on niistä ensimmäiset. Unohdin ottaa kuvat jutuista mitä käytin, mutta lakkana on joku wet'nwildin lakka jonka ostin joskus Seppälän alennusmyynnistä... Kaikkien noiden pikkujuttujen liimaamiseen meni aika kauan, mutta tykkäsin näiden tekemisestä ja rakastan lopputulosta! ^^
Tästä lähtien yritän julkaista kerran viikossa, sillä koulu vie täällä aika paljon aikaa... :P Joka tapauksessa, ihana olla taas takaisin! <3

Guest nails + random stuff ;)

Last week I did nails for my friend:

Some of you might recognize them... She was looking around my old posts and THIS was the design she wanted. :) I made the stripes little thinner this time and simplified it a little bit. It's nice to see that the same design works on both short and long nails! My friend was very happy too. ^^
That's the nail stuff this time! Some random things then:

Niilo was ,again, "helping" me to read my exams... xD

I visited Katy on last friday and played with her nail polishes... :)

Another protest against fur and animal testing... This time at Riihimäki. They're getting closer! o_o

Yup. There's been very much going on lately, but I'll keep on blogging as always! :)

Tällä kertaa esittelen teille vain kaverini kynnet. Hän halusi samantapaiset kynnet kuin TÄSSÄ postauksessa. Tein tällä kertaa raidoista vähän ohuemmat ja yksinkertaistin designia vähän. Oli kiva huomata, että sama juttu toimii sekä pitkillä että lyhyillä kynsillä! ^^ myös kaverini oli tyytyväinen. :)
Viimeaikoina on ollut paljon kaikenlaista, mutta jatkan kirjoittelua entiseen tahtiin! :)

Niilo "auttoi" minua lukemaan kokeisiin... xD

Stripes & Flowers

Long time no seen! Or at least it feels like it's been a long time since I last posted something about nails. ^^' Anyways, now I have a girly design to show you!

Micro pearls and 3D flower with a pearl - so girly!

Things I used: H&M Pink Mist, Claire's, Wet'n'Wild Frosted Fuchsia and OPI show it and glow it.

Hmm, I just realized that I've been doing lots of pink designs lately. ö_ö I'll do something different to my next design!
First I polished one coat of Pink Mist as the base and then sponged the pink Claire's polish on the tips. Then I did the stripes with Frosted Fuchsia, free hand. And at last some glitter to the tips and then the 3D accessories! :)
Want to know what else I did? We had a "girls night", and...

Actually my friend polished these, I just added the rhinestones... ;)

...oh yeah, I'm not going to tell you who's nail those are (that would propably embarrass them too much ;)), but we had fun! xD


Viime aikoina on tullut tehtyä ehkä jo liiankin paljon pinkkejä kynsiä, joten seuraavista tulee jonkun muun väriset! ^^' Tällä kertaa kuitenkin todella tyttömäiset pinkit kynnet.
Ensin laitoin yhden kerroksen H&M:n Pink Mist -lakkaa, joka päälle liukuvärjäys pinkillä Claire's lakalla. Sitten tein vapaalla kädellä raitoja Wet'n'Wildin Frosted Fuchsia -lakalla. Kärkiin vielä OPIn glitteriä, ja päälle mikrohelminauhaa ja 3D kukka, jonka keskelle liimasin vielä helmen. Aika paljon näihin tuli kaikkea, mutta tykkään lopputuloksesta! ^^

Contest nails

Okay, apparently it is allowed to publish the contest nails before the winner is released... My mistake, I´m sorry you had to wait this long! There were two themes in the competition, Coloursplash and Black on white. I did both of them. 
First the Black on white -manicure:

I used my white Rimmel polish, London clouds, as the base and then I put on some lace stickers. The L O V E -letters are made with black rhinestones, I glued them on one by one. There´s a little rose in the middle of O... :) The Sweet Love -text on my thumb is made with black nail art polish, free-hand.
Then the Coloursplash:

I used five different polishes, the green Claire´s -polish, Sinful Colors Fusion neon, H&M Blue My Mind, Models Own Lemon Merinque and OPI atomic orange. Then I added the tiny sequins one by one, and then glued on the colorful rhinestones (also one by one).
So what do you think? :) I put so much time and effort to both of them, I really hope everyone likes them! ^^ These aren´t the same pictures I sent to the competition, I did little collages for that. ;)

Fruity nails

It´s winter already, I know that. And I love snow, but I also love summer! So altough there´s super cold and it´s snowing at the moment, I wanted to have my fruit-salad manicure! Since I now have my fruit fimos, there was nothing to stop me; may I present you my fruity manicure!

Mmm, they make me think about summer... ^^

Models Own - Lemon merinque as a base

I love it, such a pale and beautiful yellow!

I sponged H&M´s Dollar green on Models Own Lemon merinque...

...and added lots of little slices of fimo-fruits on top!

 It would be nice to have sun back (seriously I haven´t seen it for weeks!), but like I said I love to have snow. I just wish it wouldn´t be so cold! :'D
Then something else: I was at crafts-fair last weekend! There was so much interesting and beautiful stuff, I wanted to buy almost everything but I couldn´t... :(  So I bought some things that are officially for scrapbooking or cardmaking, but I´m going to use them on my nails:

Rhinestones and pearls

 And then something for jewellery making:

I have big plans for these little things! ;)

That´s all this time! Let´s enjoy the snow! ^_^

Tsukicon- nails and shopping

I know this post is really late, but anyway, here it is. I was in Tsukicon (it´s an japanese music and fashion related happening) and I had quite over the top nails there. Just look:

Yup.

 Yeah, what can I say. My own nails are quite long, but 3 cm is too much for me! :'D I was quite lost with them, when I had to seek coins out of my wallet or take pictures or write text-message... That was almost too much to handle, but I took it like a man! >:''D I´d have wanted to apply them better, because they looked a bit messy... :< I had only half an hour time in the morning, so I was in hurry and hadn´t time to finish them properly. Btw, those are the nail tips I posted about earlier, some of you might remember. ;)
Then my shoppings from Tsukicon! I bought some nail stuff:

Pink pearls, black rhinestones and blings

Super blingy 3D rhinestone stickers for toe nails

Fimos! (not fimo-clay)

Now I can do a fruit salad -manicure!

 About those fimos, I find it very confusing to have fimo-CLAY and fimo-STICKs (or whatever they are), since they are two different things with quite similar name. :s I haven´t solved that problem yet, how should I call them so I wouldn´t mix them together? Oh this is hard. :'D
