Strawberry Daiquiri - Nail Art

By layering Strawberry Daiquiri from MakeupMekka, and Sunny Pink - Mac Factor I created this manicure, to lighten up my mood.
It's been a rough few days lately. Trying to find your roots in another country is not like a walk in the garden picking berries. It's hard. I don't know many people here, and a rather shy person. And the people I do know ... well, it seems like I have had a tendency to alienate people more than making new friends lately.
One step back, look at what I am doing. Up again, and let's try another approach.

It all starts with a manicure that will cheer you up.

Daddy you're Hot Stuff!

I am still in the mood for girly manicures, and pink is the girly-est thing I know, so that's the color I will use.
I have been eyeing Models Own - Hot Stuff for a while, and wanted to implement it in this.
Seeing the result, I am very pleased in how it turned out.

I did not do step by step pictures for this manicure. It was made on a whim, and I wasn't expecting it to turn out well, so didn't bother to stop and take pictures.

For this manicure I used:
ESSIE - Sugar Daddy
Max Factor - Sunny Pink
Models Own - Hot Stuff
2 pink 2-way striper/pens (no-name brand)

First I used a coat of Sugar Daddy all over the nail. I dabbed on Sunny Pink on the top of my nails to remove the VNL, and add some shine. I used the stripers to make random lines to make it all go together. I was trying to mimic the swirls seen on galaxy-nails, just with pinks.

Since I was going to watch Star Wars that day, I added some Hot Stuff from Models Own, as if I just blew Death Star to smithereens.

Max Factor - Sunny Pink

Hi, everyone!
I`m finally back, from my trip to my father. My father is sick, and that's why he has gone Vegan, as I told you in the Oh My, Vegan Polish -post. It makes him feel better, and I cant remember seeing him so up-and-going, since I was a young girl, and then only for a few hours. Now he has energy all the time. Makes a daughter very happy.

Did`nt you just LOVE Missy`s Mani (link to her blog) on Saturday? She is so good! It was so nice of her to do a guest post, while I was away.

NOTD is a shimmer-y pink, and very fitting, its called Sunny Pink.

It has golden shimmer in it, which I like. 

The only thing I`m not the greatest fan of, is that you need really thin layers of this, to build it. If you don't do thin layers it will become streaky. And no one likes that. You can see that on my ringfinger. One of the coats was a bit to thick, and you can clearly see that its streaky. 

I think I bought this shade a bit to late in the year. Golden pinks are great for spring and summer, but its been raining here non-stop for the last three weeks, making it look like fall. I have brought out my fall-shades. So you might be seeing a lot more darker manis from now on.

I did four coats here, I could have done easily five or six coats, like I had to do with my other Max Factor mini; Emerald. Think this would be good for layering over another polish?
