Glittery waterfall


I wanted something simple and easy to do on my nails. I ended up with a kind of waterfall design as you can see.

I think it's rather chic and not boring with all that glitter. It lasted for a week on my nails.

At the bottom I used Gosh - Pearl, it's a little difficult to see, but the color isn't just white but pearly, hence the name of the polish. Since the Gosh polish seemed transparent I put O.P.I - Alpine Snow underneath just in case if the polish would be too transparent.
The glitter polish I used is Essie - A Cut Above, one of my faves, underneath it is one coat of Catrice - Oyster and Champagne but I don't think you can really see it.

Babydoll nail art


I wanted to try out my stamping plates from Konad I got as a present from one of my friends. It was a little difficult, but I guess you just need a technic and then it'll be easier.

I regret doing the black line with the nail polish Judy 006 from Andrea Fulerton since you can see it through the white bow.

The pink color I used is L'Oreal - Babydoll, hence the name of the post. The shimmer nailpolish used on the pinkie is O.P.I - Pirouette My Whistle. The white polish for the bow is of course from a stamping set from Konad.

OOTD - Summer Fairy kei


Another set of clothing I bought when I was in Japan, this was actually put together in the shop in Harajuku and I fell in love with it when I saw it.

It's a very cute fairy kei outfit filled to the brim with bows! And I love bows!

The skirt is my first piece of clothing in soft yellow! I didn't own anything yellow before because I've never found a nice yellow color that looked good on me, but I fell instantly for this one. 

Also I tried to make fluffy twintails since fairy kei is all about the fluff.

The shopping list:
Shirt: Audrey
Skirt: Audrey
Cardigan: Audrey
Unicorn bag: Something I have from my childhood
Accessories: Claire's, 6%DokiDoki and Flying Tiger

OOTD - Red and pink together?


I was going to my little sisters birthday party (she turned 15), so I put something fairly "normal" fashion on. I wanted to have something pretty but not TOO pretty, haha!

It's also my first time to mix red and pink together, normally I wouldn't use pink with red rather black or white. I think it works alright, oddly enough the purple nail art also works (I guess it's because of the dots).

I really like the dress a lot, I used it as a Minnie inspired dress from Disney when I was in DisneySea in Japan, I have some hairpins with Minnies bows on them, which I put in an odango hairdo and done! Very Minnie like!

The shopping list:
Dress: Forever21
Leggings: From a local mall (Kvickly)
Socks: WEGO
Accessories: Claire's and Flying Tiger
Nailpolish: You can read about it HERE

Nail art for the japanese band Neat's (ニーツ)


This is also a manicure from when I was in Japan. My japanese best friend (Noe) and I was going to a concert with Neat's (ニーツ), it's her big sisters band so we got in for free, yay!

I really like the music, it's very good and I got all my CD's autographed at the concert!

So since Noe and I was going to this concert we wanted to make a fan based manicure to show our love. I made this nail art myself on my nails and on Noes (there's only a picture of my nails).

I made a simple manicure with the Neat's logo on the thumb, which was a little hard to do, but went well! I really like how the design can fit almost all my clothing.

I used Canmake - Peppermint Cream as bottom and a white 100円 shop nailpolish with a thin brush. The bow is a sticker from a 100円 shop.

If you don't know the band Neat's then check out their website HERE, you won't regret it.

My pondmani from Japan


When I was in Japan last summer I only had one nail polish with me. I thought I could live with only one for those 2½ months I was away, but oh boy was I wrong!

So I bought some japanese branded nail polishes so I could make some nail art over there, also because I wanted some japanese branded nail polishes to begin with. 

I created this pondmani which is actually my first pondmani ever. 

The soft shade I used to create the "pond" effect was the only one I had with me: O.P.I - Kiss on the Chic. To make the dots I used Canmake - Rouge Red 63.

Nail art with harlequin pattern and dots


I made this harlequin pattern in purple. I really like purple so I wanted to use one of my O.P.I nail polishes I haven't used before. To break the harlequin pattern I made the simple ones with dots.

I really like the design, it's very nice to look at!

The purple I used as a bottom on the harlequin pattern is O.P.I - A Grape Fit, it's also the one I used for the dots on the white nail polish. 
The white nail polish is O.P.I - Alpine Snow. The white I used to make the white lines with on A Grape Fit is a japanese nail art polish I bought in a 100 yen shop.
The dark shimmer purple nail polish I used as dots on the harlequin pattern is Essence - Alice Had a Vision - Again.

Swatch: O.P.I - Lucky Lucky Lavender


I didn't had much time when I made these nails, that's why it's only a swatch and not really a nail art design.

I tried out O.P.I - Lucky Lucky Lavender for the first time, I've had it for a long time I just never got the time for trying it out, but now I did!
The white thingie on it is supposed to look like roses, but it failed a little. The white is O.P.I - Alpine Snow. The top coat I used is Sally Hansens Diamond shine.

It was a very easy nail polish to put on and I only used 2 layers in the picture.
