Deadly Sins Challenge – Day 14: Pride (The Lord Of The Rings)

Hey guys, I regret to tell this is the last Sin of the Deadly Sins Challenge. It's been an amazing experience, I have done lots of designs and I think some of them have made me improve my skills. The girls who have taken part are the sweetest and most talented and it's been a plesure to be part of it.

The theme for today's mani was ''This is YOUR time! Brag about how good you are at...''. I diceded that as I suck at things like watermarble, gradients, and other techiniques, my best skill is nail art. I think I'm quite good with brushes and this stuff. It was also a perfect excuse to show my nerd pride! I'm a bit of a Lord Of The Rings freak! I really love the films, I haven't read the book, but it's on my list of things to do before I die.

What do you think of my Sauron's Eye? I think it looks quite good. It really looks like it's watching you. They were quite quick to do. I think one of the designs I've done in less time and that it actually looks as good on my right hand. Here's a close up of the eye.

I think the elecion of colors was perfect. The reds and oranges I chose are really similar to the original eye in the film. These are the colors I used:

What do you think of this mani? Can I say I absolutely love them? Of course I can it's my PRIDE mani!! I LOVE MY NAAAAILS! Well if you like them as much as I do share them with your friends, and ask me anything commenting below. Happy polishing!

Deadly Sins Challenge – Day 11: Envy (Green for Envy)

Hello guys! Well I've been a bit behing with my Deadly Sins Challenge but here you have my entry for day 11. The theme for todays design was recreating another many of the ladies who are taking part, I chose a Paper Thin Nails design. She has amazing designs and you should check her blog if you haven't yet!

As a base color I used Genious in a Bottle by Catrice. I have hardly use this color and I don't know why because it looks amazing. Here are two pictures of a swatch of this color, one indoors and the other with sunlight:

I used different greens to recreate the design. Mine is slightly different from hers but I think it looks really nice. I quite like how they turned out. What do you thinkg? 

These are the colors I used for this design. I used my favorite greens. I know you see them alot on my designs but i think they are lovely and the best greens for envy nails. 

I hope you liked this recreation of Paper Thin Nails' design. Don't forget to like, share and comment if you have any questions or suggestions. Happy polishing!

Deadly Sins Challenge – Day 9: Wrath (Watermarble)

 
Hey guys! Well it’s time for a new entry to the Deadly Sins Challenge. Today’s theme was ”Get mad trying, again, that technique you know it’s going to be a fail”. Since I started doing nail art I’ve struggled with watermarbling… I’ve tried it so many times and I fail harder everytime. I had the hope that as today it didn’t matter if I did a mess, as that’s the idea of the sin today, it would turn out not good but acceptable, but it didn’t happen.

 It was a total mess and a big big NAIL FAIL! I mean look at them they look horrible! The photo is terrible, I know, I was so angy about how they turned out I didn’t even bother about my hand pose or the cleaning up, I didn’t even put a proper water mark – who would want to steal this huh?. At this moment my nails are naked because I prefer them to be naked than looking like this lol. Watermarbling is great I mean it looks great on people who know how to do them, but on me its always a fail. I don’t even know what I do wrong… Plus I leave everything really messy after I do watermarble just look:

 This is what my dinning room table looked like after I finished, after I finished did the photo and then went right away to the bathroom grabbed cotton pads and removed ASAP! ahahahah Well when I do watermarble I always have a less hated nail and today that would be my ring finger, which actually doesn’t look that bad. But one finger didn’t save this mani from going off my nails straight away.

These are the colours I used for this failed design:

The result of this mani was terrible but well that was the objective, I had to get mad – I’m really really mad right now – and I had to try that technique I know I’m awful at, and that would be my beloved watermarbling technique – I HATE YOU, you are messy, a pain and you get in my cuticle and under my nails!
Well guys that was all. If you know any tricks about watermarbling or you know how I can do it better let me know. I wouldn’t share or like this mani hahahaha just tell me which is that technique that makes you mad because you can’t seem to dominate? Let me know on the comments below. Angry polishing!

Deadly Sins Challenge – Day 7: Sloth (Green Gradient Dots)

Hey guys! Today’s mani is a new entry to the Deadly sins challenge. The theme for this deisgn was ”Don’t try too hard but explain everyone how to do something really easy”. So I decided to do this dotticure. So easy to do for all you lazy heads just give it a try because it’s easy peasy, haha peasy peas green peas like the dots… ok i better get the show started.
When I was doing this mani I didn’t have in mind doing the tutorial for the challenge so I started doing my nails and then thought I oculd use it for the challenge. As I had already started the tutorial is on my right index so I did it with my non dominant hand that’s why the dots are a bit sloppy. But I was so lazy when I realized that I wasn’t going to take it off to make a tutorial so here you have it done with my left hand.

1. Apply your favorite base coat to protect your natural nails and then paint your nails dark green, I used Hugo Moss by Catrice.

2. Get a big dotting tool and make three dots with a lighter green. They don’t need to be in a straight line, mine aren’t.

3. Make three more dots with a different green

4. Repeat the same with another green

5. And again three dots with the last green that should be the lighter color.

6. Add a top coat to seal in the design and you are done!

This is the final result. It’s a really easy design and it looks great. You can do different variations of this design with different colors or starting with the lighter color as a base and go darker with the dots. You choose how you want it to be! These are the colors I used:

I hope you liked this design and you try it yourselves. Don’t forget to share with your friends, like and comment if you have any questions or suggestions. And let me know if you will try this design, I would love to see yours! Happy polishing!

Deadly Sins Challenge – Day 06: Greed (My Precious)

Hey guys well today is another manicure for the Deadly sins challenge. Today’s sin is greed and the theme was ” Remember, more is more, don’t hold yourself back”. Okay so this is my first time using any kind of loose glitter or studs or whatever you want to call hexagon glitter so I bought it and tried to fill a nail with hexagon glitter as I had seen on the internet, but as you can imagine it didn’t turn out as I expected so after failing on one nail I took them all off. I had to do something with those glitters, which I bought in Essence but are too big to cover a whole nail, that’s why I couldn’t make it look nice, i just went a bit simple but well they are shiney and precious and I’ve paid money for the glitter so I’m not throwing them away, they are my precious hahah I quite like them but they are a bit too big to do what I wanted.

 They don’t look that bad but I’m not used to not doing nail art on my nails it’s a bit weird. I think I will get rid of them asap, well if i have time. I hope you like them more than I do hahaah. If anyone was wondering what wonderful color I used, because you have to admit it’s a gorgeous blue it’s Love Nails by Sinful Colors, this one right here:

Well guys don’t forget to share, like and comment if you have any questions or suggestions. Happy polishing.

Deadly Sins Challenge – Day 4: Gluttony (I Scream for Ice-Cream!)

Hello guys! Well I had some free time today and as I won’t be having much I decided to do another mani for the Deadly Sins Challenge. I skiped day 3 because the theme was sugar spun and I really don’t like how that looks and I have never tried it so i went for the second theme of the sin which was ”Skip your diet and make something that makes your stomach growl!” and my most absolutely favorite thing in the world is Häagen Dazs Belgium Chocolate ice-cream. I mean I’d die for a spoonful of it, it’s so delicious. It’s a bit pricey but I have tried buying other brands and they aren’t quite the same. Nothing compares to yooou!!! Sorry I’m being weird let’s just get to the point and show you my Häagen Dazs inspired design.
 

Here’s a close up of my thumb. On this finger I only did the gold and red pattern, the typical pattern.

I’m actually quite proud of this design. Today I recieved my package of nail tools and stuff and I used them today for the first time, nail brushes, dotting tools, nail wheels… and more. Here are the brushes I used for this design.

After doing this design I’m sooooo hungry for ice-cream and I don’t have any!! Well I better stop talking abouut me. Here are the colors I used for this mani.

Well guys I hope you liked my design. What’s the thing that makes your stomach growl? Don’t forget to like and comment to let me know what you think of this design. Happy polishing! ………..I WANT ICE-CREAM!!

Deadly Sins Challenge – Day 2: Lust (Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!)

Hi guys! Well this is my second entry to the Deadly sins challenge. Yeah I know I said I would only be doing one design per sin but as the theme for the second day was ”Let your body talk and feel free to do whatever you want”, what I wanted to do today was Beetlejuice nails and why not entering them in the challenge too?

Well you all know I’m just a beginner so I don’t really do much realistic nail art so I decided to do a cartoonish version of Beetlejuice, just there on my ring finger, popping up. On my middle finger: his purple shirt and his black tie, so typical. And on the rest of my fingers just black and white stripes just as his suit.

On my right hand I decided to do Lydia instead of Beetlejuice, but it didn’t turn out quite well. I just left it as it was, even though it’s a bit of a nail fail.

These are the colours I used for this design. As I said on my last pos,t I have been using the same colors in the last manis, so for this one I did a drastic change!

Hope you all liked it. Don’t forget to like and comment if you have any questions or just to speak your mind and tell me what you think about this design. Happy polishing!

Deadly Sins Challenge – Day 1: Lust (Outfit Inspired)

Hello my lovelies. Well today I am starting this challenge. Day 1 theme is ”Be a bad girl and make something you have wanted to do soo badly”. I’ve seen lots of people making outfit inspired nails so I’ve wanted to do them for ages. The design is inspired in a wonderful summer dress I bought some time ago and I LOVE to wear. It’s sexy, cute and sweet and really really comfortable.

The colours of my design aren’t really the same as my dress… that means…. I should probably buy more polish ha ha ha! Any excuse is a good one.

Here’s a close up of the pattern so you can see it in more detail:

Well and as this mani is outfit inspired i should have been wearing my dress but weather today is totally shit, raining and cold. I relly can't wait for summer to come! Here you have a little selfie where I am wearing my dress, I put it on specially to show you guys.

Here are the colors I used for this design. I know I have been using these colors a lot lately, but I'm just in love with them. Don't worry I am planning on using  more warm colours for my following manicures, I still have to use my new oranges from Essence and Catrice.

I am planning on uploading a tutorial on this flowered design. Keep tunned in! Don't forget to share, like and comment and check out the other designs for the challenge! Happy polishing!
