Black and yellow Scottish plaid nail art skittelette

Hi, today I have a review with the Ladyqueen plaid water decal's. I received a sheet of paper which can be cut in any shape wanted, but if cutting according to my nails I could get 10 pieces, however I decided to make a skittelette nail art to make it more interesting. I painted my nails yellow to have a similar base as the water decals.

I first cut the rectangle shape of my nails and then rounded the edges to better fit my nails and to have less to remove. I used a little plate with water (the water height was like 5 mm), just enough to cover the paper. Important is to first remove the plastic before putting them in water, otherwise it might tattoo it self to the plastic..Then I used a tweezer to pick them up. The decal was easy to place since I could move them around and slide them into position. The water decals where quite sheer so it was really good I had a suiting base. After I let them dry from the water and later applied top coat. My pointer, which was my first finger looked great but when I applied tc to my others they smudge some, despite me being very careful. I will have to look into methods to avoid that in the future, advices are welcome. :)

Except for water decals I did black glitter gradients and also did 3 black texture nails. I felt it was unusual for me to make so contrasting nails to a manicure but somehow I liked it.

Now pics:

Polishes used (forgot to photograph the polishes)
Essence - Love Is In The Air
L.A. Girl - Uninhibited
P2 - Black Sand
Lady Queen Plaid Water decals with item ID: #NA0184 (more colors available)

Here you see the size of the paper and the color of polish I choose for my base. The paper was enough for 10 nails on the width. Length wise my nails could have been way longer.

Here you see how I cut them and you can also see them sliding off the paper. Here you can also somewhat see the sheerness of them, a neutral fresh base would be preferred. :)

NCC presents - Hollow metal studs and geometrical nail art in black and silver

Time for my 3rd Nail Challenge Collaborative nail art this month with the theme Punk & rock. Again I went for the more rock like manicure. Here I also was able to use the cool Hollowed nail art decorations from Born Pretty Store which I've been given to review. More info below but basically I really liked them. :)

Polishes and materials used:
P2 - Black Glitter
Essence - City Girls Rules!
Nordic Cap -NP12
BornPrettyStore Hollow studs: item id: 25153 Link here.

Here you see a closeup, the wheel come in a variety of shapes and both in gold and silver. They where surprisingly easy to attach to the nails with only top coat and lasted really well.

P2 - Lovesome, swatch

Anyone feeling lovesome?, because this is Lovesome, from P2. And it's from their "Sand style collection" and is as you understand a texture polish. I'm really impressed by P2, the formula is great and application is a dream. This was maybe a bit thin so it demands 3 coats on it's own but here I've actually layered it over a red and then used only 2 coats. The red color looks slightly cold toned, ie. goes towards blue, rather than yellow on the nails. Which means that a thin coat feels more pink toned red than tomato red. It is completely filled with gold shimmer/tiny tiny glitter and it reminds me of that red/gold texture from OPI or Isadora. However I don't have those so I can't compare. I really like this polish though, red elegance with a twist of gold.

This was 2,45 euro at DM.

In this moment inspired nail art

This is the last from the Instagram challenge I've been doing called #musicpolishfestival. Posted this on IG yesterday and the theme was "music outfit" and I decided to be inspired by In This Moment and a particular music video for "Whore". Basically there is bunny masks etc and you'll see a collage in the end of this post so you'll get some more context. ;)

Polishes used:
P2 - Exquisite Grey
R de L young - Ruby Red
R de L young - Mystic Black
Essence - Rock My World

Hope you'll like it. Anyhow, I guess my blogging might be a bit on and off the upcoming weeks since we are renovating the flat amongst other stuff. But hopefully I'll be able to do nail related stuff as much as possible at least. :)

31DC2015 - Day 29; Ghost bc inspired nail art

Annoyingly I'm one day behind now, but I'll fix that up later today. This post is for day 29 which is super natural. Since I'm also doing the #musicpolishfestival challenge which had the theme favorite music video I decided to join the two. My music video of choice is Ghost BC - Year Zero, which is a swedish heavy metal band with satanic and "dark" lyrics. The band contains of the "anti-pope Emiratus lll" with a "skull mask" and the 5 nameless ghouls and even though they been around for almost a decade the members name are still a secret since they always wear masks (well I'm pretty sure who most of them are, but not 100%).

All my nails are done with freehand painted with polish. I've decided for a few things appearing in the video of Year Zero and skipped other things. In the video some women are having a feast with papa Emiratus (he's wearing a face mask) and they're dining on raw meat and grapes and wine. Afterwards the women dresses them self to become the nameless ghouls (but the actual ghouls aren't women so it's more of a trick). In the video there's also a boy which helds his hands towards the sun, almost hiding it, that's my thumb painting. My pinkie and pointer are with the "food", my ring finger is of papa Emiratus with his "ghost skull painting" and on my middle finger I have the five ghouls and the Ghost BC logo. I know everything might not make sense if you haven't seen the video but nonetheless I'm very happy with the outcome.

I also did it in shiny but I think that everything looked better matte.
