Holiday in London

Hello! My flight left this morning and by the time this gets posted I'll already be spending my day in London. I decided to do a quick design before leaving so I can have nice matching nails for my trip.

London, Here I Come!

Hey guys! Tomorrow morning I'm leaving for my three day trip to London and of course my naisl had to match the occasion. I'll just be there for two nights but I'm so excited about it. I've just been there once and I was like six years old, I can hardly remember anything.


I tried to put the most iconic elements on this design. My index is the subway sign, my middle finger is of course the Union Jack, a typical red phone box on my ring finger and a bit of the subway map on my pinky. On my thumb I tried to paint a nice crown wich turne out quite good.


Red and blue are the stars of this mani but I also used other colors like gold polish for the crown. Here are all the polishes I used to create this manicure.


I'll just be away until Wednesday and I already have a post planned for when I come back. Probably I'll post it on Thursday because I'm arriving late on Wednesday. Have a nice week, I will sure enjoy my time away. I will tell you all about it when I come back. Happy polishing!!

31 Day Challenge – Day 28: Inspired By A Flag (Warholian Union Jack)


Hey guys! Today's theme for the 31 day Challenge was inspired by a flag. At first I thought I would do the Catalan flag but I already did it this September for the ''Diada Catalana''. I decided to represent my other half. As some of you may know I'm half English, so I decided to inspire my design in the Union Jack.


I decided to make the original flag and then I tried different color combinations, as if it was an Andy Warhol artwork. I tried to use really britght colors for the rest of the designs as I really want them to stand out. For the original flag I used the most accurate colors I found in my stash. These are all the colors I used in order of appearance:

The first color combination listed above is the one I used for my thumb.


What do you think about this colorful design? It wasn't easy to paint but I had lots of fun with all the different color combinations, they look very psychedelic. I hope you liked it too and that you had a wonderful weekend. Happy polishing!

Catalunya Next European State

Hey guys! Surprise today's design is not part of the 31 day Challenge. Today's mani is dedicated to Catalunya, today is September 11th, our national day. As many of you know if you have read my About Me page I am catalan and our country is fighting for our right to decide if we want to be an independent state. These nails represent the flag that asks for independence.


Today is a really emotional and special day for all of us, a human chain will follow the length of the whole country (400km) so the world knows about our situation. You can find more information if you are interested here.


These are the colors I used for this design, including this new amazing blue polish by a new brand I had never used before:


I hope you enjoyed this little piece of history, and if you want to know more about today just ask me and I will do my best to try and make this situation understandable for you all. I hope you all have a great day and bona diada a tots els catalans i catalanes!
