Golden Oldie Thursday #33: On a black base

Today's challenge is a lazy mani. I wasn't really in the mood to do intricate nail art so I decided to do a multichrome mani.

In the end I got so many photos I couldn't decide on which ones to use so I thought I'd do a slideshow instead. Cue my Photogrid app which on one of the more recent updates got a slideshow feature!!

Here is what Ozotic 505 looks like over a-england Camelot in different lighting:


Well this was a 15 second video when I last looked at it. Trust Google to F it up :D. I'll update the post later with an assortment of pictures ;).

Check out the rest of the GOT polish bloggers for great nailspiration!

Golden Oldie Thursday #31: Stripes

Time to dig out something gorgeous...Rescue Beauty Lounge Pause and Faraway. Using my awesome new nail art brushes I free handed the stripes.

I did this when we came back from Sweden but for some odd reason I never got around to prepare pics or write up a post...post-holiday funk, perhaps?






These reminded me how much I adore my RBL's. Perfect opacity in two layers and easy application.

And this concludes my GOT Polish back log :D.

Golden Oldie Thursday #30: Glitter Topper

I was in Sweden when I did these nails and one of the polishes I always bring is Elevation Polish's travelling polish Dark Cloud. It all started out in a facebook fangroup where I'm a member. Lulu created a very limited glitter topper that we could buy if we promised to take it with us when we travelled. The challenge was to do a mani and photograph the polish at a holiday destination - and then post pictures in the group.

It soon developed in to a set concept where Lulu has made Dark Cloud part of her core collection - and she invites people to share their travel stories with it. And since I am in Sweden at least twice a year it has been travelling with me there for a couple of trips now.

So naturally I felt the need to use it for this challenge :D - as it's partner I have chosen Alter Ego Nail Enamels Beach Comber.  I love the blue base and the lavendar glitters I think they go really well together.





I absolutely adore this combo!!!! And if it wasn't for the fact that my untrieds are in the 100's I would wear this again very soon!

Fancy Friday #68: Glitter

I'm waaaaay behind on my Fancy Friday manis but I will post the previous ones also. For this week the theme was glitter.

Not much to say about this other than I combined three of my favourite brands and some amazing glitters they have created!

Base colour for this mani is also amazing - and that is a lot coming from me, I usually don't get excited about pink polish, but this one...Fabulous!!! China Glaze Purple Panic is neon pink with a slight blue shimmer that really sets it apart!! I love it.






My cuticles are a right mess. I did order a Bliss Kiss nail kit but apparently USPS screwed it all up and shipped my lovely nail oil to SPAIN - how in the world do you mix up Denmark with Spain????

Well anyway, I hope you like this specific glitter combination, I myself love it!!!

Forsinket igen-igen, men det er sådan det er lige for tiden, rollingernes skolestart har taget forrang for neglene :D. I dag er det glitter og jeg har kombineret glitterlakker fra tre af mine favoritmærker. Og som base har jeg brugt China Glaze Purple Panic. Den er fantastisk - hvis du ikke ejer en pink neonlak, må og skal du købe den her!!! Perfektion!!!!

Golden Oldie Thursday #32: On White Base

As soon as I saw Ms. Osborne in this dress I knew I wanted to do some nail art inspired by it - and then I realised that one of the August GOT challenge manis were going to be On a White Base...


Here is what I came up with - using nails inc. floral street as undies for Sealore Polish Beluga Blizzard. I free handed the time glass shape on my middle and ring finger and then taped the lower part. Then I put some black polish on a makeup sponge and just dapped away gently.


I cut out some triangular shapes that I taped on my little finger and dapped with a sponge applied with black polish.


On my index I used the "other" side of the triangular shapes I cut out, so my entire nail was covered with tape, except for the triangles - and dapped some black nail polish there as well ;)


Lastly I made a sort of yinyang swirl - it sort of seemed appropriate...

Hope you enjoyed these - I had a blast making them ;).

Golden Oldie Thursday #29: Holographic

So here is the first of my many challenge manis that I just kept postponing.

Yay!! One of my favourite polish finishes was part of the GOT polish challenge!!! Too bad I was holidaying in Sweden and totally forgot to bring an old linear holo polish. I did bring Essie Carnival though so after the initial annoyance I got going with the polishes that I've actually brought.

I decided to use nails inc. hyde park gate as base for this and then glitter topping it all :D


I stamped my index finger with Vivid Lacquer plate 019 - I used a Konad lilac polish that I've had for a long time, but it really didn't give the colour pay off I was hoping for. I ended up finishing it off with a layer of Carnival.


I topped my middle and ring finger with Lynnderella Bibbety Bobbity Boo Blue and then topped it up further with Carnival :D.



And in order for thumb and pinkie to not feel left out I did two layers of Carnival for good measure :D




And an out-of-focus version to underline the holographic glitters:


Stay tuned for more challenges ;).

AFK - suffering from holiday blues

Hi girls. Sorry for my absense but my holiday has sidetracked my blogging. I am planning on being back on full form next week with all the challenge manis I did but couldn't find time to blog about - and they are numerous (somebody will be a busy bee the next couple of days :D), including today's Fancy Friday mani. BTW this is my inspiration:



In the mean time here are a couple of pictures of some of my holiday haul:




See you guys next week ;)
