Autumn Leaves

Happy Sunday! How is everything going. Autumn is finally here and I really miss summer already after only a week. The weather has been terrible this week. However I've been wanting to to an autumn inspired design for a long time so at least not everything is bad.

New season, new nail shape! For those of who who don't follow me on instagram haven't seen my new nail shape yet. I chipped my index working and I decided to go round for some time. Plus it's safer for work (I teach little kids).

31 Day Challenge – Day 4: Green Nails (Sweet Kiwi)


Hey guys! I got inspired this morning and I decided to do a cute fruity mani for today's theme: green nails. The nails aren't maybe green enough but what counts is that green makes me think of one of my best friends, she loves green because she loves kiwis. That's the story! Enjoy my kiwi manicure for the 4th day of the 31 day Challenge.

Don't they look cute? They were quick and easy to do. Plus I've been wanting to do kiwis forever because of my friend and well here they are and I dedicate them to you Joa! I love you so much!

These are the colors I used for this mani. I have to say that Bocca Mocha by Sally Hensen was the perfect brown for the kiwis' skin!

 I hope you enjoyed this sweeeeeet design. This challenge is beeing great! Happy polishing!

Apples Tutorial

Today I will be showing you how to make the complete Apple fruity fruity! mani. So let’s get the show started!

Little Apples:























1. Use your favorite base coat and apply a netral/nude base color for your design. I chose my favorite nude Cookies and Cream by Essence.

2. With a thin brush, dotting tool or even tooth pick, draw little apple shapes on your nail. You can use any color: green, red… Start with the top of the shape, like you were going to draw a heart and then make it rounder at the end, like this you will create a litte apple.

3. Fill every nail with little apples in all the directions you want.

4. With a brown polish make the little tails. Just curve them to a side or another, you can’t do this wrong.

5. Take a green polish for the leaf. With a brush or dotting tool just make a dot and slide the brush to the tail of the apple to create the shape of the leaf. don’t worry if it isn’t perfect it’s just a leaf. If you accidentali went over the brown polish don’t worry just go over the brown again to cover the green. In fact I did this on all the apples to give them a cleaner look.

6. Apply your favorite top coat and you have finished! It’s time to show off this cute design perfect for spring.

To make your design a bit more interesting you can add an accent nail. On my ring finger I did a hole apple just to break a bit with the design so it wouldn’t be the same. Here you have how to make this accent nail.

Accent nail:

 





















1. Start with a naked nail. You should a apply a base coat to protect your natural nails. Mine is already stained, problems of a polisholic.

2. With a thin brush or dotting tool, life before we will draw the shape of a heart. It doesn’t have to be symmetrical. Remember it’s an apple and they aren’t perfect. Just be careful you leave plenty of space for the details (tail and leaf)

3. Fill in the apple. Just as befor you can do the apple any color. I used Feme Fatal by Essence.

4. Pick the same brown polish you used for your little apples and draw the tail, curving it to one side.

5. Use any green for the leaf, I used Not A Greenager by Catrice. Rememer it’s the same technique as before: dot and slide until you touch the tail. Here you can also go over the brown to cover any green you got there by accident.

6. Add you favorite top coat and this gorgeous apple is ready to rock.

I hope you  try this design and let me see if you do. Don't forget to share, like and comment if you have any questions or suggestions. Happy polishing!

Apple Fruity Fruity!

It is strange but i had never painted food on my nails. Well I once did a candy cane theme mani but never real food. I decided to do little red apples because they are just the cutest and sexiest fruit, don’t you think?


They are a prefect mani for the spring so fresh and sweet. What do you think? Do you like them? I have been quite busy these days, my last manis have been quite simple but I’m planning on some new stuff a bit more complex. I hope they turn out decent enough to post them.
These are the colours I used for this design:


To clean my brushes I use a cotton pad and this is what it looked like when I finished painting my nails. It kind of looks like an apple tree. Curious, don’t you think?


















Let me know what you think about this design and don’t forget to share, like and comment. I will be posting a tutorial of these nails later today. I hope you like it and try them yourselves.
