2014 Nail Art Favorites, Which is your favorite?

Happy new year, said I three days late. I came back from visiting my family in Manchester just yesterday and I noticed I had not done my 2014 favorites. Here's a compilation of my favorite designs done during this year. Tell me, which one is your favorite?

This year started really well, lots of nail art and different techniques and ideas. However with the start of the new academic course my activity decreased a lot. With univesity and my new part time job I really can't spend so much time doing nail art which is a big shame. As I can't paint my nails really often I enjoy every second of it and the results are pretty good, don't you think?

Some of the designs are part of challenges I've done this year, some are holiday related and the are just random designs I've been doing.

I hope you have had a wonderful 2014. As you all know this year has been pretty tough on me and I just hope 2015 is better for all of us. Enjoy the rest of the holiday and have a wonderful weekend. Happy polishing!

Born Pretty Store Review, Black Lace Nail Art

Hello I'm back! I've not been posting regulary this month but I have been crazy busy! I have so many things in mind I can't even spend some time relaxing doing nail art. Despite all the work from uni and my job and singing I found some time to finally start reviewing all the products Born Pretty Store sent me last month.


The first product I will be reviewing is a set of nail art brushes. I painted an intracate lace design inspired by Finger Painted using all these brushes and they were perfect.

Trust Me I'm the Doctor by Polish Addict: Swatches and Nail Art

Hello nail art addicts and fellow whovians. It's finally time to get this post out. You all know how I got the Doctor Who inspired collection of nail polishes by Polish Addict Nail Color quite a long time ago. I swatched and did nail art on all the colors and I have been waiting to have some time to put this post toether.

The collection consisted of six pastel holos (blue, yellow, purple, green, golden and pink) with names inspried by the show. On all the swatches I painted some nail art related to Doctor Who. I tried to make them relate to the names but that was a bit difficult so instead I did typical Doctor Who elements.

Roses Are Red, This Floral Is Too

Hello lovelies! For those who follow me on Instagram this is not new but, for those who don't, I recently bought my first ever OPI polishes. I've just tried one but I'm already a fan of My Vampire is Buff. I can't believe how pretty it is and how well it looks with this floral design.

31 Day Challenge Round Up

Hey guys! I think it's time I finally post a review on the 31 day challenge, don't you think? I have finally finished my classes until january when I'll have the rest of my finals exams so I found some time to make a little collage with all the designs for the challenge to put together all the designs.

I can really notice the evolution I have made at least with my pose and the photographs I have taken. I still have to work on the lighting on the photos because it's different in each one. However the complexity of my designs has grown and I've been able to think out of the box for some designs.

I'm actually really pleased and happy that I decided to start this challenge, I have learnt so much and I've tried new things. That's the point of all this right? I still have a long way to go but there's lots of challenges out there I can try.

Which designs is your favorite? I can't really decide because I mean I really like how my galaxies turned out but also my Starry Night recreation. LOVE THEM ALL! I hope that all of you have a wonderful weekend and happy polishing!

Pixie Dust

Hi guys! The other day I went shopping to Barcelona and I went into KIKO and found out some polishes were on sale. I saw the Sugar Matte collection and I thought they were awesome. I had seen the pixie dust collection by O.P.I around the internet but nothing where I live so I bought the black polish and gave this cool effect a try.

It's like a glitter polish but the glitter is really small and you feel the texture of it so it's also like a textured polish, which by the way I don't own none. The polish is matte and it's strage because I never wear matte nails. I should buy a matte top coat because I really like the effect that it gives to some designs.

I only used one coat of the polish and it was enough, let's see how it behaves for removal. I guess I'll have to get some foil and cotton pads to remove it. The polish I used is this KIKO one from Sugat Matt collection:

 Have you tried any of these polishes or similar effects? What do you think? This was kind of a review on this polish did you like it? Would you like seeing more thins like this in the future? Let me know on the comments below. Happy polishing!
