Humblebee gradient

Now it's time for the last post in the 31dnc, better late than never, right? ;) I've worked more than usual and lots of things are going on, like it should be I guess. The blog and actually the whole internet has been the things which has been sacrificed in all this. Anyhow, no. 31 is "favorite polish / polish with a story". I decided to take one of my favorite polishes and tell how coincidental it was that I got it. My polish of choice is Ninja Polish - Humblebee. And how I got it? I was shopping at Ninja Polish, with the main goal to get Floam (which I also did) among some other polishes too. At the end I decided I needed one more polish to fill up the shipping and just stumbled upon Humblebee and put it in the shopping bag. And then it turned out to be a favorite, way more than Floam.

I've tried Humblebee as a funky french which I adored and must do again because I liked it and I would also like to take newer and better pictures of it. Inspired by the Halloween Floam; Spooky Floam which I did an inverted gradient of, I knew I wanted to do the same with Humblebee. I decided to make a white base which looked great even though the neon yellow didn't pop as much as I wanted. I can imagine that a purple or gray base will look cooler.










Polishes used:
Ninja Polish - Humblebee
Nordic Cap - NP13 (white)


Summary of all 31 days will come soon :)

Marimekko inspired nail art

Source
For this Nail Art Sunday Lela has chosen a fun theme for us to be inspired by; Marimekko. And if not all of you know about them, Marimekko is a finish design company with graphical patterns which can be found in fabrics such as curtains, pillowcases but also porcelain etc.

I googled and found a bunch of pillows which I liked and felt inspired by. The nail art I did ended up being more of a free interpretation rather than an exact copy. I've done dots on most nails and then I've done some needle dragging on some accents nails. I really like the color combo of black, white and yellow together and I like the end result. :)

Let's have a look;





Kleancolor - Neon Yellow
Nordic Cap - NP13
Nordic Cap - NP12

What do you think? Do you like the color combo? Have all my readers heard about Marimekko?

Easter chicken funky french nail art

Hi! It's Lelack's Nail Art Sunday and the theme is easter! Which fits perfect since it's easter now. ;)

I've done a cartoon chicken funky french as my easter nail art and below you have the result:

Left hand.
Basically there's chicken on all nails and my thumbs and ring fingers are accent. The chicken on my thumbs have an eggshell on their heads and the chicken on my ring fingers sits in his/her eggshell. 
Left hand.
I also managed to the the manicure on my non-dominant hand and I'm pretty stoked that they both look equally good.
Right hand.

Pretty and Polished - Everybody Loves Penguin swatch

Here I have Everybody Loves Penguin. I don't know what's penguin about this and maybe it's not so easter either but there's yellow glitter in it so it counts. ;)
This is 4-5 coats and still some VNL but not like if it's bothersome.
The polish has a white jelly base with yellow smaller sized hexagon and two sizes of black opaque hexagons. The yellow hexagons are semi shiny, metallic looking but not shiny like regular glitter per ce.  The largest of the black are 4mm and not that common, and I needed to do some fishing and some what placing of them.

I really loved this polish, the only sad thing is that it needed so many coats because I think one manicure needed about 1/5 or 1/6 of the whole bottle which was 5ml. I will try getting my hands of a full-size bottle if possible (There where no large ones available last time). Maybe I'll use it for layering the next time because as I said I really likes this color/glitter combination.
For safety I used two coats of SV so the black large glitter wouldn't stick up from the surface, even though they sunk in surprisingly well in the polish.
