Marimekko Nails

Hello July!

Here are my Marimekko nails in a pattern called "Unikko". Very patriotic of me, haha. (as you may know Marimekko is a well-known Finnish brand). Do you recognize the pattern?

I also have some not-so-good news. I'm going through a tuff time in life right now. So I think I'll take a break from the blog-writing. But please continue following me on Instagram :) I think that's easier to handle right now.

Tribal Nails

Hi everyone! I hope you're enjoying your summer holidays!

This is my nails atm. On top is my left hand (painted with my right one... SO MUCH prettier than the other one) But at least you get to see both hands this time LOL. I've been wanting to try this tribal/ Aztec theme for a long time actually. I think it's so cute and summerish.

Green Ikat Nails

Hi lovelies! 

I finally gave Ikat nails a try, and I really like it! :) Sorry for the not-so-good pictures... The weather has been awful today in Finland! Rainy and the sky is really grey, so there's no good light for nail art pics outside. So I took these pics inside instead but my hands look really pink and pale. They're actually really tan! Well at least the nail polishes turned out in their real colors, and that's the most important after all!

I haven't used any fancy nail polish brands for this design.. The dark green is from a market in Thailand and the light green is by H&M.

Light blue dove nails

Hi everyone!

Time for day 28 of #nailartmay on Instagram and the theme was animals. I decided to go with doves because I think these type of nails are so cute. 

The birds are painted freehand and then I added on some microbeads. But.. I don't know why the microbeads that were dark blue bled out all their color all over my ring finger! :(

So don't mind the blueish stains on that finger. What do you think about this manicure otherwise?

Pink Spring Nails

Hi! First of all, I know I haven't posted in over a week but a was on a lovely holiday on Crete! :) I hope you understand I just took the week to relax and enjoy. Haha but I did miss painting my nails so that was the first thing I did this morning!

But back to business and today's nails: First of all I wanted to show a spring nail polish swatch.

This is the color I used as a base for today's design. It's the perfect summer pink polish. It comes from Lumene, and is nr 27 Bright Day.

And then to the design: some wine red/ light pink cherry blossoms. So cute for spring, don't you think? 

Green and white flower nails

Hello ladies! Here comes today's nail art. Just like my past two posts it's a part of this #Nailartmay challenge on Instagram. The challenge was to match your outfit of the day. On the last picture you can see a little bit of the skirt I was wearing.. And matching with a white top.

Therefore: Green/ white flower manicure today. I really like the result this time! :)

What do you guys think? Yay or nay?  

Polishes I've used (from left to right):

LUMENE Natural Code - nr 10 Bohemian

LUMENE Natural Code - nr 9 Fairytale

LUMENE Gloss & Care - nr 23 Blueness

Isa Dora - nr 603 Tip White

Nude nails with pink flowers

Hello lovely ladies! I'm still rocking my latest mani (the moustache nails), but I painted my little sisters nails today. :) She wanted something not so flashy, but still a little bit more than just the regular one-color manicure. So as a base color on all nails I used a peachy/nude nail polish from Lumene. And then I just painted some pink flowers on a few nails using a nail art brush and a dotting tool.

What do you think?

Moustache Nails

Tomorrow is the start of a new week, with new nails! Did some metallic-ish nails with cute little mustaches drawn on them. What do you think?

Have a good start on the week everyone. And it's almost May already, yey!

Purple and pink rose french manicure

Hi everyone!

So here's today's new manicure; a light purple/pink rose french tip. I really love how it's cute and colorful for spring. *Let's hope the snow will melt away soon here in Finland as well*..  Oh and I know, here I haven't been cleaning away the excess nail polish on my cuticles yet! I just wanted to take the picture as soon as I was done painting the flowers before I mess up some part of a nail before it's really dry. 

What do you think?

Tutorial - rose nails

Hi there! This is a nail art design that I did last year (you can find the post HERE) But I got a comment about the fact that there's no tutorial, so I made one! I haven't been doing tutorials before... Sometimes I've just explained briefly what I've done but here we go! I hope this helps!!

1. Paint the whole nails in one color. Then make big dots in another color. They don't need to be perfect circles!

2. Then make three a little bit irregular lines around the dot and one half-moon or something similar in the middle using e.g. a nail art brush.

3. Make green leaves, and again, they don't need to be regular! You can just make really small stripes around the rose.

Golden french tip with flower

Hi! Sorry I know it's been ages! But the truth is I haven't really had the time nor the energy to even think about painting my nails.. I've just had so much going on but now I'm back! :)

Hope you like this one, it's just a simple golden french manicure with some pink flowers on.

Sailor toe nails

Hello everyone and happy easter! Hahha, I probably should have made an easter nail design but I was swimming in the ocean today with a lot of cool fish and beautiful corals :) but no turtles today.. So that's why I wanted to do a sailor design.

Well anyhow, this is a sailor pedicure that I've done by hand, so no stamping etc. I know the third picture is a bit blurry, sorry about that!

I hope you like it! (:

Going Girly

I really like this kind of nails and I know that I do them quite often.. or at least something similar to this. But it's simple and cute and looks like u have put a lot of effort in them. I've done them by hand on nail chips, so it's not my real nails. (I don't think I could do this with my left hand, hahhaa) Well, I hope you like it and have a good week everyone!

Neon yellow toenails with orange flowers

This is my latest pedicure. I've used a neon yellow nail polish as a base and then I've painted some orange flowers with some golden and light blue details. The hole pedicure is done freehanded, I haven't used any stampings and so on..

Blue nails with red flowers

So, this is a quite simple nail design.. Just some blue nail polish as a base and then some red handmade flowers on top. First I did the whole flower in dark red and then I added some light pink in the middle and after that some darker spots in the middle.

Have a good night everyone!

Girly Nails

So I think these are some girly nails. They are handmade by me on my sister's nails. There's some high heels, cocktails, bows, lipsticks and crowns. All you need for an ultra-girly look. :)
