31DC2014 Day 25: Inspired by Fashion - Denim Nails

Hello there!
For day 25 of 31DC2014 I decided to take an easy way and make denim nails :) I'm not much into fashion to be honest and jeans are what I wear most of the time anyways!

To create this manicure I started with two coats of Morfan Taylor #50093 Rhythm and Blues. It's a pretty blue foil that looks very denim on its own but even more so with a matte top coat!
I freehanded details in white using Golden Rose striping polish and applied copper dots with China Glaze Goldie But Goodie. When that was dry I applied one coat of OPI matte top coat. It did ruin the white details a little bit so I redid them on top of matte top coat.




In general I like how this turned out, it's simpe and cute. Easy to do as well if you are interested! I managed to do it with my non-dominant hand!

31DC2014 Day 22: Inspired by a Song - Let It Snow

Hello there ladies!
Dont know what is it but lately I have been missing winter. The snow, holidays, presents haha
So today's manicure represents Let It Snow.


That's a bottle of China Glaze There's Snow One Like You I'm holding! Since I saw this polish for the first time on the internet I wanted to buy it really badly! So today when I came across it at the store I went ahead and bought it and the rushed home to do this mani.
Unfortunately it was already dark when I finished so I had to use a lamp for my pictures which didnt to them any good I think, so I appologize for it.
The polishes I used:


I started with a coat of O.P.I. Alpine Snow on my pinky and thumb just so the cuticle line turns out more crisp and accurate. Then I applied two thin coats of There's Snow One Like You. On my ring finger I applied two coats of Dining Al Frisco and on my index and middle two coats of Dance Legend #342.
For snowflakes I used Milv water decals  from 3 different sheets. I sponged on some Fanta-Sea on index and middle, and also some DL #342 pn my ring finger to create icy frosty look. I finished with one coat of quick dry top coat.




I liked how this turned out and especially my new China Glaze polish! It's just as cool as I imagined it and I cannot wait to use it for more winter holiday manicures!

31DC2014 Day 12: Stripes - Cobalt blue with gold stipes

Hello there!
So I wore tihs blue polish yesterday and I loved it so much that i had to use it for my today's 31DC manicure!

As always I took a picture of polishes I used :)

Variete #438 is a gorgeous crelly cobalt blue polish (think along the Dior Sailor lines) but unlike Sailor it doesnt have microshimmer. I used two coats for full opacity and it looked exactly the same as in the bottle. Golden Rose Nail Art is a super cheap polish with a striping brush. I never thought that I'd come up with straight lines but this striping brush was so amazing that I didnt have any problems whatsoever even thought i made the lines with my non-dominant hand!


Thanks for reading and see you tomorrow with yet another manicure :)
