While local Latvian media and entertainment blog FenikssFun.com placed 3 of NailScope designs in their 35 manicure ideas to try for an upcoming event – November 18th – the day when The Republic of Latvia was proclaimed, I made new nail art for this year. It’s already a tradition which is also a great challenge to myself – create and try something new.READ MORE
While ago I got a package from Madam Glam with a couple of nail products to try. So today I tried to pair gel polish called Bubblegum and holographic powder in nail art. And – oh my! Just check out the photos! They are a perfect match, and holographic powder is fantastic. There are no words to describe its beauty, hope my pictures will do justice. But if you want to try this nail design by yourself, scroll down – there you will find a step-by-step tutorial.READ MORE
Each season I’m looking for newest nail art trends, and it’s time to see what we will rock this fall and winter.
Dark tones that look almost black – green, grey, violet and red – are must have this season, as well as nudes and completely clear, glossy nails. Last ones are often paired with tiny lines. Sill, all kind of geometric shapes are here, and half moon manicure is back in season’s trendiest colours. But if you are a fan of sparkling nails, the metallic trend – is a way to go – it offers to mix two or three metallic tones together. However, for more unusual look try to combine some 3D details in your nail art as chains, jewels and studs or choose simplicity – paint just one nail!
Gluži tā pat kā iepriekš, arī šosezon piedāvāju ieskatīties rudens/ziemas jaunākajos nagu dizaina trendos.
Toņu ziņā šosezon īpaši populāri ir visi gandrīz melnie toņi – melni zaļš, melni pelēks, melni violets. Bet kā pretstats tumšajām krāsām, nekur negrasās pazust arī bēšīgie (nude) toņi vai pilnīgi caurspīdīgi nolakoti nagi. Gaišie nagi nereti tiek papildināti ar tievām vertikālām vai horizontālām līnijām. Joprojām modē ir ģeometriskās formas, kā arī atgriezies ir pusmēness manikīrs sezonas populārākajos toņos. Savukārt, ja esat spīdumu cienītājas, tad noteikti iesaku izmēģināt metālisko nagu trendu – samiksējot 2 vai 3 metāliskus toņus kopā vienā nagu dizainā. Bet lai iegūtu, ko neparsatāku, šī sezona piedāvā izmēģināt 3D dizainu – ķēdes, kniedītes un apjomīgus kristālus vai gluži pretēji ļauties vienkāršībai – nolakojot tikai vienu nagu!
This time I want to show you OPI latest collection Iceland. It consists of 12 shades, I got 3 to try. But before I show you swatches, I’d like to mention that I tried OPI newest polish formula Infinite Shine for the first time. It is long-wear lacquer system. There is base – Infinite Shine Primer then comes colour – Infinite Shine Gel-Lacquer and top coat – Infinite Shine Gloss. If you follow this system, nail polish could stay on the nails up to 10 days. I wear mine only for 3 days, but I need to say it lasted very well, there were no chips.
Overall, all shades were pigmented and got full opacity in 2 layers. The second layer needs to be thicker than first one, but it doesn’t affect the drying time (it’s pretty fast), just gives gel-like shine.READ MORE
This time tutorial shows you how to combine three fall colours in one design. I chose a geometric pattern that would suit to simple outfit perfectly. I truly believe that nail designs could be a great accessory and I often use them that way. Do you do the same? Do you see your nails as an accessory – the same as earrings, necklaces or bags?
Feel free to do this design in your favourite fall colours. You will need time to make it, but rainy autumn days are the right time to give a try for some fun projects – and it could be new nail art, couldn’t it?!READ MORE
