Mara’s Birthday nail art month – DAY 4

Mara's Birthday nail art month

DAY 4

Hello everyone,

welcome to the fourth day of my Birthday nail art month.

For today’s nail art I decided to bring some texture in and picked only sandy polishes.

Here is what I used

IMG_1190

  • Sally Hansen – Sugar Coat – 250 spare a mint?
  • Sally Hansen – Sugar Coat – 500 Razzle berry
  • p2 – sand style – seductive

I started nice nail design with two coats of either 250 or 500, depending which color I wanted at the bottom.
As you can see I used 500 as a base on the pinky finger and the middle finger. 250 was used as a base on the ring finger, the pointing finger and the thumb. After the base was dry I used the opposite polish to paint a different shape on every nail, let it dry and traced the borders with the red p2 polish. I hope you understand what I mean, if not you can see it on the pictures.

I did not use a top coat, since it would ruin the sand/sugar effect.
I like the combination of “seductive” and the Sugar Coats.

What do you think? Would you wear this kind of nail art or is it too much for you?

Have a great night

HAULy friday – 23 – oops I did it again …. TKmaxx HAUL

Hey everyone,

a little late is today’s HAULy friday post.
After moving I went to TKmaxx again, I couldn’t help it.
This time I bought some ORLY, Sally Hansen, Ciaté, models OWN, O.P.I. and my first KOH polish.

Let’s see what I got.

O.P.I. top this! set

It includes (from left to right) top coat, matte top coat, snowflakes in the air and my boyfriend scales walls.

I am very excited about these because I read many good review on the matte top coat, also the glitter polish looks very lovely.

models own – green flash

I admit it, I discovered models own polishes for myself. They have a good quality and some really nice colors.

Ciaté – corrupted neons kit

oh dear Ciaté, you will cost me my last shirt…..do you say it like that in English? Anyway, it basically means I love Ciaté polishes so much that they will make me poor. Wanted to buy the corrupted neons for so long but they are still at the original price. At TKmaxx I got the yellow one for half the price, YAY! Because let’s be honest, they yellow one would be the only one I would actually use :D

I looooo~ve the packaging! Just saying….

Including PP065 – big yellow taxi, megaphone – neon glitter and NT012 – mini black light top coatIMG_1003

 

The glitter looks like that

Again I am really excited about all the stuff I got. I payed about 40,- euro, which is okay I think if you know what the normal prices are for these.

Which is your favorite?

and please comment here, telling me what you think about my idea for my birthday month.

For some you you this might be too much, but I love playing around with fuzzy coats. And I have no problem at all combining different colors and styles :)

How do you like this manicure?
