Stitched Halloween Nails

Even though we don't celebrate Halloween here in Iceland I decided I wanted to do some Halloween nail art, I did two looks, the first one is this and I'll post the second one tomorrow.

So happy Halloween for those who celebrate it!!

I followed a tutorial by HannahRoxNails which you can find here!

I'm not 100% satisfied with this but I'm still happy how it came out.

There are many smears and bubbles that somehow slithered in there...

Also the lighting is kinda wonky..

Polishes used:

Alessandro - Ice Cream Bar Lime - Vanilla

Alessandro unknown purple

E.L.F. - Party Peach

Alessandro - Midnight Black

My friend colored my hair yesterday and I'm really happy with the outcome, so I decided to overcome the phobia of posting a picture of myself (other than my nails ;) ) and show you how it looks like.

And the quality of the picture is crap.

PINK!!!!

Okay that's everything for today, now I'll go brood over the increasing amount of snow that is falling at the moment, I'll have to swim my way out of the house tomorrow...

Abstract Flowers...

... or what ever you want it to be ;)

Been busy with school and work, you know, the usual.

It's officially the first day of winter here in Iceland, some people celebrate it (we also have the official first day of summer) but I say no! I'm not celebrating cold weather and darkness.... You could maybe sway me if it involved alcohol ;)

Polishes used:

China Glaze - Dorothy Who?

Butter London - Trout Pout

Butter London- Primrose Hill Picnic

Two Color Skittle

I'm a little behind on replying to the comments I get on my blog but I just wanted to let you know that it will happen sometime ;) But I read every one of them and they all make me happy so keep on commenting.

This is one of my favorite nail art to do, pick two or three colors and then just mix and mach.

Polishes used:

KleanColor - Concrete Gray

KleanColor - Jasmine Night

This one is the most color accurate, leans more towards green than shows on the pics.

 And here is an extra one showing my cat Lakkrís being very helpful, my hand looks tiny compared to his head. He loves to distract me when I'm taking pictures, comes all cuddly and cute, purring while he rubs his face on my hands ;) Love that rascal!!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I thought I would do a manicure dedicated to the pink ribbon.

In my books it's a failure but I decided to post it anyway, the pink polish and the pink crystals are way too similar in color, the crystals are way too big for my nail, I looked at them and thought them tiny but when they went on the nail I almost didn't have enough space for them.... Maybe they grew... o.O

Polishes used:

OPI - Mod About You

Depend no. 190

It's 3:30 and the sun is so low in the sky it's soon setting so I got this beautiful light when I was photographing my nails.

Dotty Lines Manicure

Long time since last post. Last week was super busy with work and school. I used every spare moment making a medieval dress, I'm in a medieval "club" called the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) who meet like 4 times a year where we dress in medieval clothes, eat and drink medieval style and do activities such as fencing, dancing, singing etc. I'ts so much fun!

So no manicures last week due to my dress which I finally finished at the event.

So for the past month I've been nominated for the Liebster award 9 times!!!!!!

That is INSANE ;) Thank you all who nominated me!! I'll have a proper blog post where I thank everyone and link back to them and maybe I'll nominate some blogs, but I wanted to ask you all if I should go and answer all the questions from the 9 people who nominated me? I would probably have to do it in 3 or 4 posts and there is a lot to answer, or do you get bored from reading so much about me? :p

Please let me know what you think because I'm at a loss if I should answer them all or not.

But on to the nails!!!

No thought behind this, just took out my dotting tool, chose colors and did something.

Polishes Used:

Essie - Lilacism

L'Oreal - Magic Croisette

E.L.F. - Passion Pink

Cult Nails - Deal With It

OPI - Bright Lights - Big Color

Textured Dotticure

Now when the September challenge is over I feel kind of lost, nail art wise, I'm not sure what to do next, so many techniques I can try but I don't know where to start.

So for now I did something very simple, something I go to a lot when I want to do some nail art that isn't too time consuming and doesn't need a lot of attention.

Polishes used:

Cult Nails - Deal With It

OPI - Magazine Cover Mouse

OPI - Alcatraz... Rocks

My nails have grown quite a bit over the last month. It was really difficult to get them longer than past the tip of my fingers, they would crack and peel like crazy. I was getting so frustrated with it so I decided to try the Nail Envy strengthener from OPI and it has done wonders, now they are so long and I've have to adjust to the length, it's weird but I love it!! ;)

I want a red panda!

Nothing nail related today, the September challenge is over and I'm feeling a little lost, don't know what to do next, everything and nothing.

Going to do something on my nails tonight so maybe I'll have something to post tomorrow, in the meantime here is a cute red panda playing with a pumpkin.
