31DC2015 - Day 19; Galaxy + otep inspired nail art

Today it's the galaxy theme in 31dc2015. And yea, galaxies are nice and all that, I don't mind them but somehow it feels like they often just look more of less the same all the time. Of all the prompts in the 31dc I've on previous years often find my self thinking that it's the least versatile nail art of them all.

So I'm always trying to do something else, but "galaxy inspired". My galaxy involves a whole bunch of stars, both in black and gold, also some plus and dots as "stars"(?).  All in a red background. Something else is also happening and since I'm also joining the #musicpolishfestival challenge (by Lakobotan and Leedyz) (yes I know, 3 challenges in the same month!) and therefor I also wanted to incorporate a singer in this. My choice was Otep Shamaya and I've always like the promo pic where's she is wearing the checked shirt, and black and red felt like a good color choice, partially because it has been used on albums and some videos too. And with a "deeper" interpretation the crosses also has a meaning to her position to church and christian religion. She has quoted "Art is my God, Music is my religion...".

Don't know if this made sense to you with the mishmash, let me know in the comment bar below. :)

And here's a little collage of it all. :)

31DC2013 Day 19; Abstract punk rock galaxy nails

Galaxies.. galaxies galaxies..I wasn't in the mood for the regular ones. When saying galaxy nails they all have the same concept and I will try that out too someday but this time I wanted to make my own interpretation. My first thought was that I wanted a polish that could work as a starry heaven on it's own, I picked Golden Nightmare which I've swatched but yet not shown nor reviewed, it has just stayed hidden in the archive. What I can say about it is that it has it ups and downs, the downside is that it get's gritty and the plus side is that it's a one coater and that the grittiness can be solved with two coats of top coat. With the top coat this is gorgeous, it's not really that dark blue like a real starry heaven, but it do have a bunch of golden glitter or glass-flecks which today will symbolize stars and galaxies. I also attached star-shaped golden metal stud rhinestones on all nails except my accent nail where I placed a bunch of metal beads, and suddenly this nail art turned very edgy and punk rock, however keep in mind it's a punk rock galaxy.. ;)

IRL the glitter showed much more than in the pictures and some time I had a hard time getting focus in the shots. I rarely use flash shots but this time I'll show you one (below) because that was the only way to really show how beautiful the polish is

Yellow glitter funky french with black star rhinestones

Hi! I'm going on with my little easter theme this week. I tried googeling why the easter is suppose to be yellow but couldn't find a reason good enough but anyhow, here I have a yellow and black nail art. And as you can see of the length and shape of my nails, this is archive nails!

Basically I've made a yellow base and then applied loose yellow glitter on top of the yellow. And on top of that I've placed three black opaque star rhinestones on each nail.

This looked way better irl since the yellow loose glitter changed color from pink to green to yellow. But you can imagine, right? ;)

Above are materials used:
Black opaque rhinestones
Yellow loose glitter 1 MM
Tiger Nail Polish (yellow)

Blue textured jelly sandwich

Liquid sand jelly sandwich, is that correct to put it out like that? I mean liquid sands are jelly if they have top coat and if I put something in between and make a sandwich of it it probably is a jelly sandwich, just textured. Or should I call it Textured Jelly Sandwich? Yea, I liked that! Remember where you heard/saw it first! ;)

Anyhow, Blue Monday at Lindas Nailorama and this manicure surely is blue!

I basically painted on some stars over OPI - Get Your Number (GYN) and then a coat of GYN again, like a jelly sandwich. Above it hasn't yet fully dried.

The result was darker than the "normal" color of Get Your Number because the star polish made the polish wet and then it gets darker. When I added more GYN the base was dark and it didn't change.

The star polish I used is Kleancolor - Blind Date. I think I used about 2 coats of dabbing to place the star some what even. I liked that the star glitter was really thin and didn't stick up much from the polish like some glitters do.

 It was quite cool this way too. It looked super jelly and the prismatic glitter really gave a dept to the polish.

Blue corset nail art with stars rhinestones

Hi!
I'm sorry for the late Saturday post and I didn't have the time to schedule anything yesterday either. Me and my boyfriend are watching four dogs (one is our own) and to day I've for the first time in my life tried on snowboard. And now I'm drinking tea and will soon go ahead with some school work.

But first some nail art. This is another archive nail art with some shorter nails but I think it works fine in that length too. I really love this type of nail nail art, with the corset and all that.

 This one felt very appropriate today, almost winter like with the blue and the white and the blue crystal rhinestones.

I also have another set of these in green if you click this >LINK<. :)

China Glaze - White out

Magenta and red sloping funky french with star rhinestones

I wished for a calm week-end but it ended up with some work load any how. Luckily I have prepared this archive manicure for you! :)

 It's a sloping funky french in red and neon magenta. I think I painted the some what sheer red afterwards making them blend well together.

The magenta polish I've used called Savina - Dream, is surprisingly good. The bottles look a lot like the ones from China Glaze. Dream is a magenta neon which dries completely matte. The color is like from a neon pen when top coat is on. One person actually asked me if I had painted my nails with a neon pen when wearing Dream alone on my nails.

My new year's eve nail art

Hi!
As promised, here's my new years eve nail art! As you can see it's a sloping funky french in gold holo glitter and then stars stamped randomly along the sloping smiley. Maybe gold is "wrong" to a new year manicure but I really had a feel for the gold glitter holo. And I really liked the outcome. Below there's a lot of pictures and I hope you like it too!

In writing moment I'm just about to go to bed because when this is published I'm headed back to my home town, back home to my boy friend. Can't wait. It's a three hour trip and if I'm not sleeping the whole way I'll probably edit a large bunch of nail art pictures. We'll see what I find most interesting, sleep or nail art.. haha :)

 Oh, and btw, the stamping was hell. I used a regular black first but that was too thin and was hard to pick up from the plate. I then changed to my fine liner polish (they are often thicker and more pigmented) and the stamping was so much easier.

 Here you can see the bottle for the gold holo glitter. And you see correctly, it's a fine liner which I've brushed over a normal gold so that I only needed 1 coat of the holo glitter. I say holo glitter because it really sparkles like holo, however it's not a real holo glitter, because there's no purple or blue in it. The main glitter combination is from red-orange-yellow to green. Is that a half holo or just multi glittering glitter? Anyhow, gorgeous polish.

Depend (the base)
ZTIZ Nail polish (gold base)
Color Club Art Club (gold holo glitter)

New Year's stars and glitter nail art

This is a nail art I really like, silver glitter that glitters from the whole spectra of the rainbow and some black opaque rhinestones on top. I just love the combination! Perfect to celebrate the new year, right?!

The polish is from Paris Memories and I've used a lot of coats to make the glitter opaque.

I also want to take the opportunity to say thank you to all you readers that has been following me and has commented my posts etc this 2012, you're gold and makes blogging so much funnier! Hope that you'll keep being around 2013 as well! :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!
