Lia, welcome!

My friend gave birth to her baby girl last week. They named her Lia, and she's such a beautiful baby! And a good baby too, they sleep all nights(luckyluckylucky). I, of course, made an manicure in Lia's honour.

I have to say, I loved this manicure! I wore it as long as I could(I think about a week), and I'd wear it even longer, if it didn't chip.

I used a bunch of polishes for this:
Sally Hansen Countess creme for pinky and pointer; China glaze White out, Bourjois #19 and Color club She's so glam for the dots
OPI Show it and glow it! and Essence Cotton candy for middle finger
Bourjois #19 and Teeez Smooth for ring finger

The tools I used:
dotting tool, sponge and nail art stripping tape

Once upon a time nail art challenge - TRUE LOVE'S KISS

The fifth theme in this challenge is True love's kiss. I represented it this way:

 

I wanted to recreate feelings of the kiss, you know, butterflies, fireworks, sparkling stars,... Unfortunatelly stamping isn't my best feature, since I don't do it so often(I'll work and learn to be better). But in the end I like it how it turned out. What do you think?

Kelsie's nail files nail art contest

Kelsie from Kelsie's nail files is having a 1 year Blogiversary contest. I've decided to join it. The challenge was to be inspired by something from her "Nail Inspiration" pinterest board. Here's what was my inspiration:

Why? Well, I like the black&white simplicity of the first one, and I love the colours of the second one. I also thought joining these two into one manicure should look great! And here's what I came up with:

 

I know this doesn't look exactly like the photos above, but if you ask me, that's the point of inspiration. I took what I liked and translate it into my nails =)
And here's what I used:
Essence Ultra strong nail hardener as base coat
Essence Black is back for thumb and ring finger and black stripes
H&M Mon amie for index, middle and little finger
OPI No room for the blues, OPI Mermaids tears, China glaze White out, Color club Twiggie, Essence Fall for me, Essence Cookies&cream, Essence Tree hugging, Essence Love2, Essence Very berry for the dots.
 Paris memories #201 for top coat
In the end I love this manicure.
