HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 to my beautiful readers! <3 These are the nails I made for new years celebrations. :)
I went to manicure at 25th and the polish was still flawless so I just decorated the nails. :)
I wanted them to look like fireworks... So I started off with silver and gold nail art polishes...
...and finished the nails with LOTS of glitter! :D
Writing with my left hand felt too challenging so I just put the 2012 on thumb. :P
It's amazing how fast last year went by, and how much happened to me! Luckily mostly good things. ;) I moved abroad and I have met so many amazing people I never even dreamed about. Last year was definitely unforgettable, and I wouldn't change a thing! I just hope that this year will be as good for everyone. x)
Polishes I used: H&M "Gold" and CND "VIP Status" to add some sparkle. :)
These were my christmas nails! I wanted something quite simple but christmasy, so I used colors that remind me of christmas, gold and red. :) I really liked the result, and I had these on for quite long, since even the rhinestone stayed on. :)
I hope you all had wonderful christmas and that everyone's year has started off nicely! ^^
Helloo everyone! ^^
Classy zebra stripe design this time... :) I wanted something simple with basic colors, so this is what I came up with. I did these a while ago, when my nails were still long... I just recently shortened them and made the shape more round again. :P
So what do you think? :) Oh, this time I actually remembered to take a photo of polishes I used:
Golden Rose silver nail art polish and H&M Ocean Sand.
Btw, you may have noticed that I changed my blog's background recently... I loved the pink one, but it started to bug or something, it didn't cover the whole screen and stayed as just a tiny picture in the center of the page. :/ And since I am such a computer noob, I had no idea how to fix it so I just changed the whole thing. I like this new one also, but it just takes time to get used to it. :P What do you think, better? Or would you have preferred the old, pink one? :)
Haha I know I said I'll post something new this time but this is another design from summer. :D
This was quite a lot of work because I had to place every tiny sequin one at a time... :'D My original idea was to do all the nails as the ring finger, but I was too lazy... And I figured it might be too much. And then I only kept this on my nails for a day! :'DD Not that I didn't like them, I just had new inspiration... :D
I used H&M 'Gold' and sticked the sequins on when the polish was still wet. ^^
Pidin näitä lakkoja vain päivän, vaikka näiden tekemiseen meni aika paljon aikaa... :'D Käytin pohjana H&Mn Gold -lakkaa, ja tökin sitten nuo mini-paljetit yksitellen märkään lakkaan. Tykkäsin näistä kyllä, mutta sain uuden idean ja oli pakko vaihtaa. :DD
My sister KarzU won a giveaway, and she wanted to polish my nails with her new polishes. Check out her BLOG to know more about the polishes she got, they're gorgeus! ;) Now for the nails she did:
Things she used: China Glaze Ahoy! and Hey Sailor + konads.
I like them, those polishes are really pretty!
Oh, Minnie tagged me this "What's in my purse?" -post! Thank you again, I'll do that one next! ;D
And omg, has my blog really reached 200 followers??? :D Thank you so much everyone, now I'll start doing that post about myself. ;) So that's what's coming up, and more nail designs, of course! ^^
Siskoni KarzU voitti arvonnassa ihania China Glazen lakkoja, ja halusi lakata kynteni niillä. Kiitos vielä, näistä tuli tosi kivat!! ^^ Hän käytti China Glazen lakkoja Ahoy! ja Hey Sailor. Käykää tsekkaamassa hänen bloginsa, siellä on vielä erillinen postaus näistä kaikista lakoista. ;) Pohjalla on yksi kerros H&Mn Pink Mistiä, ja reunoihin pitsikuviot konadeilla.
I saw THIS design in Tartofraises - nail art, and I just had to try it! There's also a very good video tutorial for this manicure, so go check it out! I love this design, even though it's not perfect compared to the original design... :'D
Here's some more pictures:
I sponged my favorite Claire's polish on the nails, I liked it already so I took a picture... ^^
Then I did the black ..things and added some white spots.
I planned to leave it like this, but then I decided that it needs the rhinestones!
Things I used: H&M Pink Mist, claire's pink polish, black and white Kiss nail art polishes.
And the complete manicure with the rhinestones!
I just love pink and black designs! :D Especially with bling. But hey, we were shopping at Dubai last weekend, and guess where we went!
It's Juicy Couture!!! *_* Even just the shop is so over cute! We were walking around Dubai Mall when I spotted a girl with huge pink shopping bag with a text "choose juicy" on it. I love Juicy Couture but I've never seen their shops irl... I've just adored all the cute stuff they have. So I went a little crazy when I spotted that shopping bag, because that meant that there's a Juicy Couture shop somewhere in Dubai Mall. Dubai Mall is HUGE, but eventually we found the shop. And ohh, my head almost exploded by all that super cuteness... xD Everything in that shop was so sweet and cute. The prices were also quite sweet... :S But I decided to buy something with my sister:
The text in the charm holder says: "For nice girls who like stuff".
Isn't it cute! ^3^ There was a table full of awesome jewellery, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. And there were these little... charms (or what are they called, I'm not sure) which you could collect into a bracelet, for example. They were the sweetest things ever! They even had the tiniest nail polish bottle I've ever seen! Of course it's just a jewellery, not a real polish bottle, but it was so detailed! There were all the details of a real polish bottle in it! I would've bought it, but we had to get the necklace first, because I couldn't use the charm alone. I'll go back next time we go there, and buy that little thing. >:)
I also bought these cute earrings from Accessorize, I have to share them here too:
Tiny fruits! Love them! xD
Okay. Now I have to take a break of shopping... :'D
Näin tämän manikyyrin Tartofraisesin blogia selaillessani, ja minun oli tietysti pakko kokeilla sitä. Eihän tämä täydellinen ole alkuperäiseen verrattuna, mutta itse tykkään todella paljon! ^^ Ensin kaksi kerrosta H&Mn Pink Mistiä, ja sen päälle töpöttelin vaaleanpunaista Claire'sin lakkaa. Sitten tein mustat kuviot Kissin nail art lakalla. Valkoiset pisteet tökin valkoisella Kissin lakalla. En ollut suunnitellut laittavani tähän noita blingejä, mutta sitten päätin että ne sopivat näihin kynsiin niin hyvin että pakko se on laittaa. :D
This manicure was pretty hard to photograph... The baby blue lace pattern didn't really show up in pics, but you can tell that it's there, right? :'D
The first picture is taken today. It's now over two weeks since I took the henna tattoos, and as you can see, it's almost faded away. :< It lasted quite long, though! In my feet he tattoo hasn't faded that much. Couple days ago it was still like new... :D Well, here are my nails about week ago:
There the tattoo is about 1 week old, and it starts to fade from the finger tips.
I used two coats of H&M Pink Mist first, then I did white gradient to the tips by sponging Rimmel - London Clouds. Then I stamped the baby blue lace pattern with konads, I used the plate m71. Finally I polished three coats of OPI - Last Friday Night to the tips (over the white polish).
Here's the whole henna tattoo after a week.
I didn't like these nails that much at first, because they're not exactly what I had planned, but now I've had this design on my nails for a week and I have to say that I really like it! :D It was also nice to have something blue on my nails, because yesterday...
FINLAND WON THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF ICE HOCKEY!
...and that was the first time since 1995, when we won last time. 16 years ago... :P That was very sweet, because Sweden had won so many times and they were confident that they would win this year too, but we kicked their ass 1-6! xD I'm not a big fan of ice hockey, but hey, it's the world championship we're talking about. ;)
Besides, it's nice to win something after our Eurovision fail... xD Haha, everyone in Finland seemed to be so sure that we would win, but actually we were almost last! Well, I didn't really think the song would be good enough to actually win the whole thing, but... 21st? Fail! :'D Here's the top three:
1. Azerbaijan - Running scared
2. Italy - Follia D'Amore (Madness of love)
3. Sweden - Popular
What do you think? If you watched the Eurovisions, do think that the right songs made it to the top? I think the winner song was pretty good, although it was a little when you heard it many times. I didn't have any huge favorites, but I liked the England's song and Ireland was funny. ^^
En aluksi oikein tykännyt näistä kynsistä, koska niistä ei tullut ihan sellaiset kuin olin sunnitellut... :P Nyt minulla on kutenkin ollut ne jo viikon, ja tykkään niistä itseasiassa aika paljon! ^^ Kuvissa näkyy myös mitä hennatatuoinnille kuuluu, nyt se on jo haalistunut melkein kokonaan pois käsistä, jaloissa se on vielä aika hyvässä kunnossa. Tatska kesti viikon hyväkuntoisena, ja alkoi sitten haalistua. Ylimmässä kuvassa näkyy tämänpäiväinen tilnne. :) Alle laitoin kaksi kerrosta H&Mn Pink Mistiä, ja töpöttelin kärkiin Rimmelin London Cloudsia. Sitten leimasin konadeilla (laatta m71) vaaleansiniset pitsikuviot kynsien tyveen. Kärkiin laitoin vielä kolme kerrosta OPIn Last Friday Nightia. Oli muuten kiva olla siniset kynnet eilen kun Suomi voitti lätkän mm-kultaa! :D En yleensä seuraa lätkää, mutta nyt päätin katsoa kun kaikki muut olivat niin tohkeissaan... Ja kyllä kannatti! 1-6, hyvä Suomi! ;D Varsinkin tuon Euroviisufailin jälkeen... Katsoitteko viisut, ja mitä mieltä olitte kärkikolmikosta? Oliko lemppareita? ;)
Love the song! <3
PS. Blogger has deleted some of my comments!!! So if you notice that your comment has lost, blame blogger! :< I wish the blogger starts working normally and the lost comments find their way home.
I decided to cut my nails back to squares. Round nails are beautiful too, but they just aren't my thing... I feel more comfortable with square nails, and I think that my nails are more beautiful in squares. ^^ Yes, they're now shorter and the C-curve is back, but I love my squares! :'D
Then I made new version of the Arabic swirls design I made while ago. This is more simple, but I like it!
First I polished three coats of H&M - Pink Mist. Then I sponged OPI - ink (That's also new polish, btw!) to the tips for the gradient effect. Finally I made the golden swirls with Golden Rose nail art polish.
Things I used
OPI - Ink - gorgeus!
I have to do swatch of that polish, it doesn't really show up in that manicure.
Some pictures without the decorations...
They look a little like gel nails or something...?
Yeah, squares are definitely my thing! ^^
I really like this design and I think it goes well with the tattoo:
Päätin että pyöräksi muotoillut kynnet eivät vain ole minun juttuni, joten leikkasin neliöt takaisin. :P Alunperin leikkasin pyöreät kynnet, koska kyllästyin niiden kaartumiseen... Nyt C-kurvi on palannut ja kynteni ovat kyhyemmät, mutta tykkään näistä huomattavasti enemmän näin! ^^ Tämä manikyyri perustuu Arabic Swirls -kynsiin, jotka tein vähän aikaa sitten. Tämä versio on yksinkertaisempi kuin alkuperäinen, mutta tykkään tästä ja mielestäni se sopii hyvin hennatatskoihin! :) Ensin laitoin kolme kerrosta H&Mn Pink Mistiä. Sitten töpöttelin kärkiin OPI Inkiä. Ihana lakka, teen sitä vielä swatchin kunhan ehdin, niin lakka pääsee paremmin oikeuksiinsa. Lopuksi tein kultaiset kiemurat Golden Rosen nail art lakalla.
