NOTD: Birthday Manicure

Helloooo :)
I wanted something cute on my nails for my birthday, so I tried something completely different, something I never did before: nail art roses.
At first I didn't like it, because I thought it looks like crap, but I soon realized it looks cute XD 
Here is my first nail roses attempt:

How to: Cheetah Nails

Hello Lovelies!
Today I will show you how to do a cheetah manicure. It's really easy and fast.


You'll need 3 colors: one basic color for the whole nails, another for the dots and a third one for contouring.


1. Start with a base color. For this nail art, I've chosen Essie Flirty Fuchsia.


2. Take the second color and start making random oval(-ish) dots. The more random and not-perfect dots, the more natural effect.


3. Take the third color. A nail art pen or brush will be really helpful in this step.


4. Start contouring the dots. Do a half or 3/4 or a broken circle.

 
See? It looks far from perfection.



5.  Continue with all dots.


Finish off with a clear top coat. And ta-da! It's done :)


Hope this was helpful to some of you :)

NOTD: Cheetah in bikini



Hahahaha I just had to write such a title :D
Anyway this is the last post with cheetah manicure (except if someone wants a tutorial).
I can't say it enough how this manicure is super easy and fun! You want to do just one nail and before you think twice your whole hand is done! 
And if I think just about some time ago when I hated animal print ... now I think I'm becoming obsessed :P 

Base coat: Jessica Bikini Blue
Dots: Nfuoh 65
Lines: Essence Nail art polish in black

NOTD: Cheetah in the Jungle


I've been watching all those cheetah nail manicures in the past weeks so I finally decided it's time to try it for myself. It was actually one of the easiest manicures EVER :D

For the base I've used Essence In the Jungle.
Here is step 1 (it doesn't look that bad at all)


And than I decided to upgrade it with S-he 230.

So pretty and easy! I will definitely do at least another one (this time with a light base).

Do you like it?

NOTD: Ruffian manicure, nail art ...



Some time ago I bought this gorgeous pink/orange nail polish and yesterday I decided to try it on. The color is gorgeous but the application of it was hell! It is very dense with a jelly structure and it needed 3 thick coats to be even. But because of the 3 thick coats it become to bubble.

I present you Essence 52 Wild Thing


Today I put on S-he 230, which is a cold gold, for a Ruffian manicure.




But that wasn't enough! I decided to play a little bit more with it ...



But than I broke a nail and now I have very very short nails :/

NOTD: Liquorice


I decided to try out my new Essence nail polish. It's called In the jungle. It is a one-coater, but I'm sloppy so I applied two coats. The more I was looking at it more it seemed boring. So I applied a coat of Essie Matte about you. Even more boring .... hmmm what could I do with it? Let's do some nail art! And so it started ... when everything seemed as it would be one of those "you-should-have-left-it-alone-in-the-first-place" manicures, it turned out pretty interesting and not at all over the top.

When more than enough is too much?

I guess when you see this pictures you can be pretty sure that is too much.
















Sorry, I'm just not a fan of very very long nails filled with stuff. I have trouble already with some rhinestones on my nails so I can't really imagine how anyone can do anything with those nails.

But I find cute these one:




Thank you for looking!
