Innisfree - 82

Sometimes you just want to go vegan. I have been drawn towards some more vegan friendly brands lately, and felt that I should get some proper pictures of the vegan polishes I already got.

I have also been shopping for polishes, a haul post will follow later this month. Can't wait to try them all out, they look gorgeous. One of them is an orange flaky polish, perfect for Halloween is my thoughts.

This is one of four "Yoghurt" inspired nail polishes from the Innisfree line. Innisfree is a vegan polish, has a pleasant scent, nothing to overpowering. It comes in a milky base with glitters and have a lasting hold. Easy to use, the glitters glides on well. Only reason why I haven't used them since I bought them (almost a year ago), is because of the removal of glitters, it's just not worth it having to soak my nails in acetone and kill my already dry cuticles. So when I got my PVA glue and started using that as a base for glitters, well, needless say, I felt the urge of using these gorgeous polishes as well.

Innisfree - 81

I never intended to take such a long break from blogging. I moved back to Norway, or I tried at least. Now, almost 2 months later I am still crashing at my friends couch. I had great plans about getting my own flat, and everything, and got majorly distracted by my health and all sorts of other things.

I feel as if I have let you down, by not keeping my blog updated.
That I am missing out on all the fun.

The next four posts will be slightly light coloured polishes. I wanted to start light even if its all outside and I am freezing here as I still with blankets around me and a cup of tea. Herbal tea, cause I managed to get influenza as well. Lucky me. Time to update this blog.

Again, sorry for totally going MIA on you all.

First out is Innisfree - 81.
Milky pink base with hot pink micro-glitters and blue and pink hex glitters. 2 coats.

Pink Speckles Pink

I have the last W7  Suede collection swatched for you girls today. It's Pink Suede!
This is a hot pink color with a suede effect. As the others in the line it has a silver undertone to it. Gorgeous shade.

I am going on a guild-meetup this week, and I'm really excited about it all. Some of them I have never met, and some I have met once or twice before. We all play World of Warcraft together, so it's going to be a lot of fun putting some faces to the voice we keep hearing on Ventrilo. I am working on scheduling some posts for you all, so you won't even notice I'm gone for the weekend. I'm just an hour away from home, so no flying this time. Luckily. It means I can bring all my makeup (I actually have a makeup trolley), and plan less on "what to wear".
I often wear no makeup, but when I'm out meeting new people I like to have my makeup done to feel comfortable. I'm usually the one getting ready in 15 -20 min in the morning, but when you are going clubbing getting ready is half the fun.

Back to the hot pink madness.

Gorgeous!!

Then I added Maybelline - Polka Dots - Speckled Pink. It ruins the suede effect, but darn is it pretty. 

One coat of Speckled Pink.

Two coats of Speckled Pink.

I'm still looking for the rest of the Polka Dots collection; the light blue, and brown i have not seen, so if you have seen them online let me know.

Stars in the Sky

It's been incredible sunny in England lately. I already had a tan when I came back from Scotland ( who would have thought you could get a tan there?!), and its been building a stronger tan ever since then. I can't resist the urge of soaking up some sun, when its here. Besides, I think tanned legs looks more sexy anyway. 

Time to do some nail art, and test if the NYC Foil Explosions stamp well. 

As a base I used NYC - Power Of Elements. 1 coat.

I stamped using NYC - Enchanting Fire, and Cheeky plate CH52. 

What I really like about this stamp, is that it's not a cluster or separate stars, but rather a cluster of over-lapping stars, and they got space between each star. It does however mean that its more or less impossible to separate out a full star, so you have to use the whole image. Which suits me just fine. 

Enchanting Fire stamped perfectly, I had no problems with it, and it came on very clear and crisp. 

E.L.F - Golden Goddess

I'm going full out glitter today. I have this E.L.F polish sitting in my stash for ages. I bought this before I started going nail art, so it must have been there for a good 2-3 years. Maybe used it twice since then ... (??) Can't remember exactly, but something like that.

Golden Goddess is a clear base packed with gold micro glitter and larger holographic (?) hex glitters.
It's a bit gloppy, but by using the dabbing technique I achieved a decent looking manicure. I should perhaps use this as a gradient with another gold polish, I think that would look cool.

Candy Love

 Now that I have discovered the wonders of PVA glue, I have got another glitter manicure for you girls. This is L.A Colors - Candysprinkles. I recently picked it up at my local pharmacy, they had a stack of L.A. Colors in for a pound. This was the only glitter polish they had, so I picked it up.

I stamped using Barry M - Fuchsia, and Cheeky Jumbo Plate 8 - Princess Charming.

L.A. Colors - Candysprinkles is a sheer bubblegum pink base with red microglitter, small round sky blue, silver, and green glitter with larger white, green, purple and copper orange hex glitters
(from what I can see in there).

One coat.

Two coats.

Three coats.

The stamping didn't turn out quite as I have expected it to, it went on sheered that I thought, but I am quite pleased with the overall look. Definitely girly.

Holy Motherboard

I have to admit I am a bit late with this post, I'm playing catch-up on these challenges. The girls over at Llama Nails on FB have this Nerd Challenge going, and it looks really cool.
Previously on this challenge we have had "Inspired by Math", "Inspired by Space", "Inspired by Science Fiction" and "Inspired by Litterature", now its time for "Inspired by Technology".

I love computers, that's just how it is. So when this challenge arrived I knew what I wanted to do. A post I did last year was a programmers -manicure with HTML codes, and this time I'm going deeper, and taking a look at the Motherboard. Interesting enough, I'm holding my first motherboard in the HTML -code manicure.

For this manicure I used black and white acrylic paint, a liner brush, a script liner brush and a dotting tool. I used China Glaze - Unpredictable as my base color. At the end I added a metal circle and a nail art sticker ( for the serial number)
