Tutorial: Fuzzy Nails

Just like crackle and textured nail polish any hard core polish collector owns some 'fuzzy glitter' nail polish that just collects dust now. I am one of those people and I always feel bad about all of these 'one season hit' nail polishes and I decided to use this one today for a fun little tutorial.…

NOTD: Silly Easter (Part II)

The more I am trying to embrace Easter, the less success I am having. It is such a weird mix of traditions, ideas and symbols. So I decided to make a silly looking manicure once more - currently I am working on a farm full of baby bunnies and chickens - and let me tell you - animals are silly! :)…

NOTD: Funny Easter

I created a manicure like this one a year ago, but never posted it since I didn't quite like it. Also I figured in a year's time my nails will be longer and I will have a bit more nail to work with. And just my luck! I broke my nails just in time for the Easter holidays. So here we go again! But this time I loved the result! It made me LOL so hard when wearing these ;)…

NOTD: Neon Unicorns

I love unicorns and they are somehow taking over social media and other trends. But they are always represented with light pastels and a very colorful palette. I wanted to make a manicure that matches the classic look and adds in some neons since I miss summer more and more each day.…

NOTD: Love Flamingos

After two 'non-traditional' Valentine's day manicures, I decided to make a super classic one. Since I didn't feel like pasting flowers all over my nails I choose flamingos as my main theme. I mean they are the perfect pink color for this season and they make little heart shapes with their necks when they kiss.…

NOTD: Love is Dead

I wanted to make the cutest manicure with a very dramatic title since V-Day is almost here and I know not all girls want to wear the cutesy nail art that the nail salons offer.

NOTD: Birdcage

Sometimes you look at a nail design and you just gloss over the design and can't see the little details nail artists put into their work. I wanted to create something like that today - a birdcage that has trapped birds inside - but on the accent nail I created a bird that is free. Can you see it?…

TUTORIAL: Cracked Metal Nails

Metallic nail polish is known for its perfect smooth surface that it creates once applied. But more times then I like to admit, the formulas of these nail polishes are created in a way that they leave a streaky mess on the nails. So, I decided to embrace the imperfection most metallic polishes carry and make it into a whole new look.…
