My Queen of hearts and her red roses!

Hi Nail Polish Addicts!

Here I am with a wonderful polish to show you! My friend Rachel generously accepted to blend me a custom polish (all the way from Australia!).

I didn't thought I could layer it over another color than grey, but I found other pretty combinations after all! Here I applied one coat over two coats of Zoya - Yara :)

If you are jealous and want to purchase it, go buy the inspiration for it: Once Upon A Polish - Queen of Hearts!

For the accent nails, after the background color was dry, I started by drawing roses with a fine white Posca (acrylic paint pen).
I added the drops of red using a tiny brush and China Glaze - Adventure Red-Y. I finally outlined them with the same brush and Wet'n Wild - Black Crème ;)

I am really in love with this polish and its combination with khaki! <3

I'm not sure if I did well with the accent nails though... What do you think?

Have a wonderful day ladies!

Prada Chevron Mani with my Blueberry Glitter Franken!

 Hello everyone!

I hope you're doing allright! I'm working hard for my studies, but still had time for nail art!

I wanted to use my lastest franken and things happened that I had two untried colors that were making the perfect combination :D So I gave a try at the Prada pattern Sophy Robson introduced to the nail art world ;)

I'd describe my franken as a blueberry fine glitter mix. The polish is clear but packed with glitter. I mixed black, duochrome, bright blue, purple and blueberry holographic glitter.

Do you have a name for it? I was wondering about blueberry and cats (all my polishes have names about cats)... ?

Here is how I achieved the look:

I started with PVA glue as basecoat (my first try wasn't convincing :s). I applied one of Rouge Baiser - Gris Lavande to give more opacity before the coat of my franken (only one!).

With the polishes Kiko - 274 and Biguine Makeup Gloss & Schock - I freehanded the "V" lines.

Then I used a black marker to outline the geometric shapes.

Do you like this nail art? I'm a bit sad the lines aren't really sharp and contrasting, but I liiiiike it!

I hope the PVA glue basecoat won't make it pop off, I already have a chip on both my thumbs...

Have a great day!

Cheesy! (My Favorite Thing Nail Art Challenge: "My Favorite Food!")

Hi!

Today I'm featuring my attempt at day #4 for My Favorite Things Challenge! We were asked to paint our nails with the theme "Favorite Food. I don't know what my favorite food is, I'll always be really happy if I can eat salmon, but let's admit it, painting a cute little salmon on my nails and say that I do really like to eat that as much as I can is not really correct ;)

So I decided to go with a food I eat everyday and that brightens my meals: cheese! Let's be patriotic!

So, how did I do? Elementary my dear Watson:
Only one coat of my new pale lemon franken, some dots of a darker yellow!
Both polishes are mixtures I did but I would recommend Orly - Lemonade & Sally Hansen - Mellow Yellow ;)

I added a little mouse on my accent finger, using my favorite tiny brush, Confetti - Lonesome dove for the grey body, Wet'n Wild - Black Crème for the eyes and OPI - Sparrow me the Drama for the nose and ears ;)

I stole this idea from this girl (link inside!), check her blog even if it's in french! (In fact she posts the sundays on another girl's blog.)

I am really enjoying this challenge, do you?

Have a great day! <3
