Oh, Cherry Blossoms! ♪

I was going to do some galaxy nails on friday, I even painted my nails a dark base coat, but then I got lost playing Guild Wars 2 Beta Event the entire weekend and by monday, my nails were chipped (probably from playing too much xD). Had no choice but to take it all out and do something else...So I went with cherry blossoms.

This is what I used:

- Risqué Pink Fluor
- Yolizul in white
- Leticia Well #146
- China Glaze For Audrey
- Striping brush
- Dotting tool
And here is the final result:








I think it looks a bit sloppy on my ring finger, it was the first time I did something like this, but I really think it turned out ok on my thumb. Anyone else agrees with me? :P

Rainbows! Rainbows everywhere!

Eeek! What have I done? xD

A while ago I ordered some cheap nail art brushes from Deal Extreme and after 3 weeks of waiting, they finally arrived on friday, but I had no idea of what to do with them at the time. Then, this past sunday, I was bored and saw that one of the FB groups I'm in is having a weekly "contest" and this week's theme was rainbows! I wanted to take part in it and it was also a great excuse to try out my new brushes and also get me out of my confort zone.

After going through my nail polish stash, trying to pick some colours, I realized that, in 109 nail polishes, I didn't have any oranges or a light blue that I could use for the sky! That left me no choice but to mix my own and that was a completely new experiencie for me. It went kind of ok, but the formula of my base colour sucked balls! xD Seriously, it was the hardest thing ever to apply.

Here are all the colours I used:

 For the base colour I mixed:
  • Revlon Colorstay #170 Coastal Surf
  • Yolizul 164 (used it for the clouds too)

 Yay! I did a rainbow with all 7 colours! xD
Here's what I used (following the colours of the rainbow from red to violet):
  • Andreia #40
  • The orange was a mix between the previous one with the yellow
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear #27 Mellow Yellow
  • Sally Hansen Hard as Nails #620 Limestone
  • Essence Colour & Go # 55 Let's Get Lost
  • Kiko #334 
  • Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure #409 Good to Grape
 And here is how my rainbows looked like:






It looked cute, turned out better than I expected, but soooooo not my style! Obviously, I took it all out the next day...
