Paisley Print

Hello my dears!

What is one to do when one has to study? Do something else that seems very important....yeah sure; doing nail art is crucial (hear my sarcasm here). So today, I indulged in some recreational activities such as mixing nail polishes to create new ones. That sounds fuuun! I took one Rimmel London Alaska - presented in Alaska (Dotticure) and a brown Farmasi Shimmer #208 and the result is what you see in the photos.

Frost

Hello my dears!

Is it to late to say Happy New Year?!! Nonetheless, I wish you all a splendid year, full of fulfillment. I'm very happy I finally had the chance to photograph my manicure! Don't think I've gone "nude" in my blogging hiatus, I do my nails once a week or maybe twice but taking photos in good light is the tricky part.

Perfect summer nails

Hello!

[EN] - I don't know about you, but I'm loving these summer days! I don't mind the heat, I love it! I wish I could live in a never-ending summer . Okay, enough of that...lets talk naaails! I seriously can't get enough of this color/nail polish. You can see it in Summer blues and reviewed in Negative space trend (fun fact: the last time I wore this nail polish was during my exams session, just like now). Anyways, I say it's a must have for this summer.


[Ro] - Salutare fete dragi! Nu ştiu voi, dar eu iubesc zilele de vară! Nu mă deranjează căldura deloc, aş trăi într-un loc unde e vară mereu. Eh... să revenim la oile noastre şi să vorbim despre unghii! Trebuie să recunosc, nu mă pot sătura de această ojă/culoare. O puteţi vedea în Summer blues şi în Negative space trend unde i-am făcut şi o recenzie. Tocmai mi-am dat seama că ultima dată cȃnd am purtat această ojă, eram tot în sesiune ca şi acum :)) se vede la ce îmi stă mie capul. Vă recomand o asemenea ojă în colecţie, nu veţi regreta.

Throwback - My favorite nail art and the most productive period

Hello ladies!

Last week I took part in a challenge and it reminded me of my glorious days :)) I was most productive when I was participating at no more than 3 challenges at a time. I was quite the busy bee and I loved it! But having to come up with some many designs and having to stick to a timeline it took a tool on me eventually. By the time the university started I felt like I needed a break and so I quietly stepped out of the challenges world. And almost two years later here I am ^_^

Silver Lining

Hello ladies!

Well, spring got a serious kickback! Yesterday it snowed heavily in my neck of the woods so springish manicures will have to wait a bit, allthough I have a few ideas that I can't wait to try! How's the weather in your area?

Purple phase

Hello girls!

I'm finally free!! My exams are over, finished, ter-mi-na-do :)) I'm so happy! I took a few days off from everything and just relaxed. Now, I'm ready for blogging and stuff! I would love to hear how you've been?

Ice Queen

Hello ladies!

After starting the week in a summerish mood, in the hopes of some good energetic vibes (so much needed for a Monday), I thought it would be best to end it in a winterish ensemble. After all, we still have about a month or so of cold weather. At least a little bit of snow would be nice, just a bit, 'cause we barely had any this winter. With that in mind I did this manicure, maybe the last winter nails for this season. So cheers to that!

City that never sleeps...

Hello girls!


I'm afraid I have to share my sorrows with you today. As you probably know how much I love nail art, you can understand it's a torture for me not to do any. I miss doing some, I have so many ideas but so little time to do them (instead of that I have to study study study). So I'm forced to resume to a simple mani these days.

Avon Stardust Swatch - Teal glitter

Hello 2015!
Hello dear friends! May we have a great year! 

The biggest wish I have for this blog is keeping up with the regular posting, because I often find myself wishing I had more time to dedicate to this hobby. So, here's to hoping!
Today's manicure is just a simple swatch, of a gorgeous nail polish: Avon Stardust Collection ~ Teal glitter. I have already reviewed a different one from the same collection in my last post so I won't go into so many details as usual.

Avon Stardust Review - Crystalized Pink

Hello ladies!

I hope you all had a wonderful time this Christmas! As usual, I was so busy before the holidays, that I didn't get the chance to prepare a post with my Christmas nails; you actually didn't miss much as I wore a simple red manicure.
Let's focus on more pressing matters, the New Year's Eve nails. It is an ocassion were glamour and "bling" should be mandatory; just for the fun of it, if you're not a fan of such things. Of course you should feel special even without these tricks, but if they're at your disposal why not use them? So for NYE go all out! Make-up, nails, clothes, hair, etc. make them shine! But don't get me wrong, don't light yourself up like a Christmas tree, keep it classsy ^^

Holiday Season - Abstract Christmas Tree?

Hello ladies!

It seems like I have to finally accept the fact that the natural light is kinda crappy in December, hence no photos in natural light today. Given that I don't have a lightbox thingy I was forced to improvise and the results are not the best. Therefore let's focus on the theme here...

I'm continuing the Holiday Series and today I've decided to show you a shade that would be perfect for those of you that are not big fans of red.

Holiday Season - Glitter gradient

Hello December!

I can hardly believe it's already the last month of the year. It's time to get into the Christmas spirit, and let our souls be filled with joy. Just try to forget everything that isn't so good in your life right now and focus on the simple things that come out of this time of year, like diy decorations, gifts, sweets&cakes (yum) and let's not forget about Christmas shopping.

Sprinkles fun

Hello girls!

I hope you're having a wonderful week! It seems like the weather is treating us well; it's so warm & fuzzy in my neck of the woods, that it would be perfect to sit on a porch somewhere with some steamy hot chocolate beside me, just enjoying the sun. But...I'm drowning in midterms so yeah I'm day dreaming, nonetheless I'm determined to not let that get in the way of a weekly manicure; and even if I'm not showing you something extraordinary, maybe it'll be the nail polishes that will "woo" you.

Cappuccino Flavors

Hello ladies,

I'm pretty psyched of today's manicure, the outcome has exceeded my expectations. You know why? Because working with glitters is always fun, you think you know how everything will "go down" but you end up surprising yourself. It may seem that pairing this particular glitter with a nude it's a no brainer but honestly it looks like they belong together. With that in mind I'm planning to combine this copper glitter with the most unexpected shades you could think off, just to see how it would work. I've been playing on the safe side for too long, it's time for some real action!

Favorite autumn shade

Hi there!

Long time no see, ladies! I will start by apologizing for the unannounced hiatus, but other things got in the way of this beloved hobby. Doing intricate designs is a pleasure in which I haven't indulged in quite a while; the university and sometimes work is keeping me very busy. With that being sad I don't know if I'm back for good, so no promises.

Oh, snow...where are you?

Hello girls!

So, it snowed here, in Cluj! Actually, my timing is a little off 'cause it snowed last week, now it's so sunny it feels like summer.... this weather! Anyways, I was waiting for this so I could "crack" open this bottle of nail polish that was sitting unused since last summer. I thought it would go perfectly with the snow outside, but what do you know it melted already! Great!

KKCenterHK review - Luxuriant flowers

Hello lovelies!

If you're wondering why I chose this particular title, or maybe you're not but I felt the need to explain myself anyhow. These water decals, because that's what they are (I'm not that talented to freehand something like that) make me think of a tropical forest, hence the term luxuriant vegetation/flowers or lush. I have to confess, this mani made me stare at my nails ceaselessly (I sometimes use google translate=> strange words :)) )

TNCC ~ Inspired roses

Hei ladies!

My "mojo's" back! Sort of, if at the end of last year I was feeling uninspired and in no mood for blogging this month is quite the opposite. As a result, I've joined yet again to The Nail Challenge Collaborative, after a few months of absence. The theme for January is inspired by a tutorial, it's a really cool subject and the amount of tutorials out there is incredible. There are a few blogs I like to follow and Paulina's Passions is one of them. She has this beautiful manicure and a tutorial for it called Roses Nail Art Tutorial. You should check it out, it was my inspiration for this manicure, altough hers are sublime, mine need a little more practice.

Mixing elements

Hei dear friends!

Long time no see! I hope you're all doing well and happy! I wish that you all have a splendid 2014! I for one, didn't make any plans or resolutions, I'll just play along trying to enjoy every day. If you're wondering what I've been up to, well not much. Over the holidays I spent a lot of quality time with family and friends, indulged in sweets and movies, just the good old fashioned relaxation. During this time I haven't quite felt inspired so instead of showing you something trivial, I decided that it's best to just take a break.
