Quilted Purple

It's time for another cake-inspired-nails post! A so-called quilted cake was on my to-do list for ages and I finally decided my birthday was the perfect occasion to give it a go! The cake is covered with marzipan and the flower on the cake is made of fondant. It took me some practice and I have to say I'm kinda proud of it. ♥

About the nails: the medium purple I used on most nails is China Glaze - Spontaneous. The colour on the accent nail is Grape Pop, another purple beauty from China Glaze (both look less blue-toned in real life). After Grape Pop was completely dry I added a raster of striping tape. To achieve the gradient look I sponged the nail surface with Spontaneous and a england - Guinevere. I removed the tape, added a couple of silver dots and a thick layer of top coat. Aah, so pretty! 

For the flower I used white acrylic paint. Before I added the black heart of the flower and the silver dots I sponged a little bit of Spontaneous in the middle.

Icy Nails with Shimmer Polish - Jennifer

Recently I received a package from Cindy with breathtaking Shimmer Polish nail polishes. It was hard to choose which one to wear first.. they're all so pretty! I decided to go for Jennifer. I love it, it's super sparkly and the colours are beautiful! Last Friday we had our first snow this winter so I was in the mood for an 'icy' mani. I used three coats of HEMA #833, a pastel blue creme, and I applied Jennifer just on the nail tips. I really enjoy wearing this combination, even after three days!

Shimmer Polish is available at Cindy's Etsy shop for $12 a bottle.

Thank You!

Thank you for all the warm birthday wishes last weekend! It means a lot to me. ♥ I had a great birthday party with my loved ones, got beautiful presents and of course there was.. cake! I'll show you the cake I made  (+ matching nails!) as soon as possible.




At the moment I'm busy with the decorations for my next cake. It's a lot of work, but I love doing it! I don't wear nail polish when I'm working on my cakes, but I hope there will be some time left to paint my nails this week.

Have a good day! :h

Glittery Birthday Mani <:o)

Today is my 26th birthday, hooray!! I wanted something super festive on my nails so I gave a clown permission to puke over my nails. :O I'm wearing two coats of China Glaze - Holly-Day and one coat of KBShimmer - Clown Puke.

This glitter polish has it ALL. Love it.

Thanks for watching! :k

Layla Hologram Effect - Misty Blush

Wowza, is that a rainbow explosion or what? ♥ In case you haven't heard: the prismatic polishes from Layla Cosmetics are the best! There is a great variety in base colours (16 shades) and the prismatic effect is just.. wow. I'm wearing two coats of Misty Blush over my beloved Aqua Base from Nfu Oh.

Thanks for watching!

Dotted French

Something simple and classy for today. I was in the mood for nude-ish nails after wearing a lot of dark colours. So I applied three coats of Essie - Body Language. Beautiful colour! I should wear it more often, but my untrieds disagree, hehe. Later I added white dots on the nail tips with a dotting tool. I finished with one coat of OPI - You Callin' Me a Lyre? to soften the colour of the dots.

Hope you like it. ^_^ Thanks for watching!

a england - Beauty Never Fails & a england - Holy Grail

I always get very excited when I find new nail polishes from a england in the mail! Today I'm wearing two new shades, Beauty Never Fails (a black base with gold and olive green coloured flecks) and the revamped version of Holy Grail (a mesmerizing gold coloured foil). I wanted to combine these two sparkly polishes on my nails and I think it turned out really well! The formula of Beauty Never Fails and Holy Grail is excellent; both polishes are easy to apply in two coats. I used tape to create the "V" shapes.

a england nail polishes are available on the a england website.

Thanks for watching!
