Hello~! ^^ I shortened my nails a little and did those colorful summer nails I was talking about. I love them! :D I used my favorite polishes, and these really remind me from candy... xD
Before the konads
Things I used!
Konad plate m71
OPI - Simply smash-ing!, Sinful Colors - Forget Now and Orly - Halleys Comet
I wasn't planning to do the konads, but I'm really glad I did! They finish the look. ;) I hadn't tried those little laces before, I think they're super cute! ^^
Viilasin kynsiäni lyhyemmäksi ja tein värikkäät kesäkynnet! ^^ Käytin lempparilakkojani, ja minusta näistä tuli tosi söpöt. :) Lakkoina siis OPIn Simply Smash-ing!, Sinful Colorsin Forget Now ja Orlyn Halleys Comet. Pienet pitsikuviot on konadin laatasta m71, ja käytin mustaa konadin lakkaa.
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 made this design before taking the henna tattoos!
I love summer and sun. Since I'm now here in UAE, it's already summer for me...^^ I suppose it's still spring in Finland, I've heard that it's getting warmer and snow is gone? Anyway, I wanted to do something summery:
Pretty simple, but I wanted to try out my recent shoppings... :D I used the Simply Smash-ing! by OPI (the Serena Williams -polish) and my new konad plate m29. I love the flower patterns and especially that little pineapple, it's so cute! ^^
Simply Smash-ing! before stamping...
...and in direct sunlight.
I wasn't sure if that's green or golden? It looks more golden in the pictures, but irl it was more greenish. Well, I love the colour anyway!
Kesäkynnet! Suomessa taitaa olla vielä kevät, mutta täällä on jo kesä... Rakastan lämpöä ja aurinkoa, vaikka olisi ihan virkistävää jos tuo lämpötila tippuisi välillä alle 40 asteeseen! :'D Käytin näihin uutta OPIn lakkaani, Simply Smash-ing. Kuviot tein konadin laatalla m29. Aika yksinkertaiset, mutta tykkään! ^^
Simple Konad-design for my older little sister this time (She also has a blog, you can find it HERE). :)
OPI - Tease-y Does It from Burlesque collection. Don't you just love that golden sparkle? *_*
Without stamping, two layers. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture in direct sunlight, so the sparkle doesn't really show up in this picture... :<
I'm getting better with konads, right? Of course there's still some fails but for a whole nail pattern these turned out well. :)
The Tease-y Does It is really gorgeus polish, I'm disappointed I didn't manage a good photo of it... Once again a polish you should see IRL.
Tein vanhemmalle pikkusiskolle verkkokynnet. :) Lakkana oli OPIn Tease-y Does It Burlesque kokoelmasta. Upea tummanpunainen lakka, jossa on kultaista shimmeriä. Harmi etten tajunnut ottaa siitä auringonvalossa kuvaa... :P Verkkokuvio konadeilla. Nyt alkaa jo sujua tuo koko kynnen kuvioiden leimaaminen, vaikka tietysti vielä on parantamisen varaa. :)
PS. I took henna tattoo again... Actually henna tattoos. ;) More about those in my next post! ^^
I've bought five new OPI polishes while being here in UAE... Here they are:
Black shatter and Simply Smash-ing!
Last Friday Night and Not Like The Movies
I wanted Teenage dream instead of LFN, but they didn't have them anymore... I wanted also The One That Got Away, but they didn't have them neither. :I Well, Not Like The Movies is so gorgeus that I'm fine with these I managed to get...
Tease-y Does It from the Burlesque collection
Isn't it gorgeus? *_* I love the whole Burlesque collection, it's so sparkly... :D I've also seen the movie, and it was great! If you haven't seen it yet, I totally recommend it! ^^
Then I bought some new Konad plates with my sister:
m71 - this is so girly and cute! <3
m29 - I thought this would be perfect for summer nail design...
m57 - this plate seems to be the one that everyone should have.. :P
m51
+ three special polishes.
I'm running a bit late with my postings, I already have few new designs I should show you... But I don't want to put too much stuff to one posting.
I want to share one extra summery pic with you...
Greetings from the Arab Emirates! ^^
Ei käännöstä tällä kertaa, antaa kuvien puhua puolestaan! ;)
She has more pictures at her own BLOG, so go check it out! ;) I love that Wet'n'Wild polish, I needed only one layer! Then just some stamping to the tips. ^^
I've been shopping (too much) lately, so that's what's coming up! ;)
Nämä ovat pikkusiskoni kynnet, lisää kuvia löytyy hänen blogistaan! Laitoin yhden kerroksen Wet'n'Wildin lakkaa ja tippeihin konadit. Todella simppeliä, mutta nättiä! ^^ Viime aikoina olen shoppaillut (liikaa), eli tulossa on postaus uusista kynsilakka hankinnoista! ;)
Okay this is a design I was supposed to present you at that previous post, but because of some blogger-fail I couldn't. :P Now everything seems to be working ok, so here we go:
Two coats of OPI designer series Passion (more about that below!), this pic is taken in natural lightning.
With camera's led light :)
And some Konad patterns from plate m14! ^^
This pic is taken in direct sunlight. :D
Yeah, I like it. :) I love that polish, it's my first OPI designer series polish! I like the colour, and the holographic effect is amazing! *_* I didn't even realize this was a holo when I bought it, so it was a great surprise... :D Some pictures of the bottle:
With camera led ;)
I love holographic polishes! <3 That's the nails this time. :)
Ooh, I have to show you something. :D I was just surfing around Youtube, not really looking for anything, and I found a video with some extremely inspiring nail art! This is actually a make-up tutorial, but OMG look at the nails! *_* (And yeah, that make-up is very cool too!)
PS. The following is only in Finnish, because it's about a giveaway that's only in Finland. :)
Elikkä kirjoitan tänne nyt ensimmäistä kertaa suomeksi, onpa outoa! :'D Mainostan vähän erästä upeaa arvontaa:
Kyseessä on siis Shinyn blogi, hän järjestää arvonnan 100 lukijan kunniaksi! Käykääpä katsomassa. ;) Tässä vielä linkki.
Ajattelin myös että voisin joskus kirjoitella tänne pieniä tiivistelmiä suomeksi, mitä mieltä olisitte siitä? En joka tapauksessa jaksa (anteeksi, olen laiska.. :'D) kirjoittaa kaikkea kahteen kertaan, mutta jotain pientä tiivistelmää. ^^ Ajattelin vain että kun minulla on niin paljon suomalaisia lukijoita, niin teistä voisi olla mukavampi lueskella kun ei tarvitse pohtia käännöksiä? Äh, kertokaa mitä mieltä olette! :D
I shortened my nails again! And this time I shaped them round! I've had "square nails" for a veeery long time, so this new look takes a while to get used to... o_o
Wanna know what made me cut them? LOOK:
I'm very sorry, I kinda lost it and cut them roughly with nail-scissors... ^^' And I forgot to file them before taking the pics.
Uuh look at those curves... :P Haha, my nails just naturally curl to C-shape, no matter what I do! I loved my square-nails, but disliked that C. :( If I had gel nails or something, they probably wouldn't curl that much, but gel nails don't quite fit to my budjet. :'D So I thought that maybe I should try round nails. They're a bit better now, I think...
Well, my nails feel very small and pathetic now, u know? So I thought that a cute pink polish would look pretty on them. ^^
I just love that shimmery Claire's polish!
Then I decided to add some Konad-cupcakes! :9
And things I used: Konad-plate m14, black Konad special polish and pink Claire's polish.
They're cute, I like them. ^^ And I think I'm going to get used to this new nail style.
I also did Karzu's nails! She was going to a friend's birthday-party, so I used bling:
But hey! My prom is tomorrow (in Finland we have prom for second grade students in high school, but it's almost the same than prom in America, I think.), and I've been super busy lately! I've done my prom-nails already, but you'll have to wait for them a little moment because tomorrow and friday I'll be dancing and celebrating! ;) I've tried out my make-up, I have my dress and nails ready, I've got my shoes and hairdresser for tomorrow, so everything is alright! I'm sooo excited! :D I hope everything is going to be alright and I won't stumble with my dress... ^^
See you soon! :)
