31DC2013 Day 30; Pink panther nail art

Today's prompt is inspired by a tutorial and my choice was something made by LOVE4NAILS and if you haven't heard of her, she makes awesome youtube tutorials of different nail art on her long beautiful nails. I've followed her for at least 5 years and her videos was probably what inspired me to continue and learn how to do proper nail art. My choice fell on her quite new pink panther nail art tutorial which I've included at the bottom of this post. I did some changes and didn't follow the tutorial 100%, for example mine is done with polish and she has made her version with acrylics.. I like my result (I mean it's possible to see that it's the pink panther) but it's quite obvious that her version is much more realistic. My favorite part of this nail art is actually the nails with the paws, they're so cute.. haha :D

Polishes used:
Nordic Cap - NP13
Nordic Cap - NP12
Viva La Diva - 51
Jordana Pop Art - Black Mark
HM Matte Top Coat

Green pond manicure

Hi, finally my cold is getting better! And to celebrate that I'll show you  beautiful manicure ;)

This is a pond manicure, a new thing for me and a great way to use jelly polishes. This is very similar to a jelly sandwich except that the dots is made of white nail polish layered in between the layers of jelly polish. I think I used five coats of the green polish and four or five coats of the dots. And SV on top. I really like how super shiny and glossy it looks and that maybe could explain the amounts of pictures ;)

This is also my contribution to Vacker&Underbar's Green Wednesday.

 And maybe you'll remember this green shade from the Vintage Week Challenge. ;) Namely the green jelly polish from Viva La Diva.

Polishes used:
Viva La Diva - 56 (jelly green)
HM - In It For The Game (white creme)

Viva La Diva - 56, swatch

Hi, today is a late post since I've been out painting (my parents house) all day. The color for Vintage Week Challenge by Little Miss Nail Polish and Polished Marvels is green today and this is a polish I bought in the beginning of my nail polish collecting. I think this could have been my forth green polish ever and I wasn't content. The reason you see below..

..it's a jelly, and for about 7 years ago I didn't know how they could be used, not in nail art or anything. I knew nothing about jelly sandwiches and the new thing; pond manicures. Now I know better and I'll use this in some cool nail art soon, but for now you'll see it as it is, jelly and therefore transparent.

This is Viva La Diva - 56. As you can see it's a grass green jelly, with a tiny drip of blue in it. It's a real jelly and I believe this is 4-5 coats. I tried many coats to see if it would ever cover but I don't think it would.

Sorry for the late post. Know I'll go and read some nail blogs! :D

Green sloping funky frech with glitter top coat

Here's a manicure I'm ambivalent to. I LOVE the green polish with golden shimmer, ie. Tiger nail polish (a no namer and no number) but I think that the glitter in the nail design takes over and hides its magnificence.

 And the polishes, this time with a photo aswell.  L.A. Colors Art Deco -green glitter. Paris memories -black. ZTIZ nail polish (the glitter with a clear pink base) and Viva la Diva -56. I think I used the green Viva la diva like undies for the green shimmer polish from Tiger, since it's a bit sheer.

However the real candy in my eyes is this on below. I like the massive amount of golden shimmer in it, which really shows on the nails.
