What's on my nails today?

Hi everyone!


Yep, you aren't seeing things... Neon has finally found it's way to my fingertips :)

Hi everyone!


I had a little free time between dinner, doing the dishes and getting ready for bed, so I decided to try and stamp yesterday's ice cream nails using Hit The Bottle As Black As Night and MoYou London plate Fashionista 04.

While stamping my right hand I managed to get some black stamping polish on my left index so I had to redo that nail. Instead of polishing it in the original green, OPI Damone Roberts 1968, I decided to add a little extra color and used OPI Is Mai Tai Crooked? and to make sure my right hand got some attention too, my right pinky was done in the same orange. It looks a bit darker in this picture as it is in real life though, so imagine it's a bit lighter and slightly more dusty.

I like this look... a lot! I can definitely look at these nails for another day or two :)
What do you like best? Stamped or not?

Hi everyone!


A simple manicure today that looks like an italian ice cream with a few of my favorite flavors: vanilla, pistachio, banana and orange (pistachio and orange being the flavors you are allowed to wake me up for... along with blueberry... and now I want ice cream!!)

Hi everyone!


Quick NotD today as I hardly have time to breathe, let alone write an elaborate post. But I did manage to squeeze in a manicure as the blue one I was wearing (see previous post) started to show tip wear and it kept annoying me more and more to see my nails like that... So pink nails this time.

Hi everyone!


Saturday, no work, all chores done, no one in need of immediate attention, husband happily playing computer games... finally some time to try out a nail technique: stamping decals! All I needed was a stamping plate and colors, and of course an idea of what to put on my nails. So I started searching Pinterest for inspiration and after a while I stumbled across this picture: scales in shades of blue!

I followed most of the instructions in this video by Lucy's Stash and my nails now look like this *beams with pride*

Hi everyone,


the temperature has dropped to a more comfortable level (for now) so I'm really enjoying the sunny weather at the moment. And what goes better with summer than a yellow-orange-pink gradient? That same gradient with a stamp on top of course :)

Hi everyone!


The last challenge in the PPSA Nail Challenge is Needle and as I didn't do the sugar spun one, I was determined to do a needle manicure. I mean, how hard can it be? All the girls on YouTube make it look SO easy...

After trying it for the first time I decided to do a skittlette so I would only have to do two nails with this technique. After messing up the same nail for the third time I promised myself I would stop if it looked remotely decent. This is the result of the ninth attempt at needle art when I decided enough was enough and from a distance, with squinted eyes and in low light this didn't look too bad...

Hi everyone,


the second to last challenge the PPSA ladies came up with is Dark & Vampy...

<insert ominous silence>

Yep, you read that right: dark and vampy, while thermometers can't even seem to measure the temperature outside (we reached an all time record of 38.2 degrees Celcius today) and ice cream sellers can't keep up with the demands of the overheated masses. But Dark & Vampy they requested, so Dark & Vampy they will receive (or at least my take on it).
