Today I have some nails from last summer, I've been a bit reluctant with these because they come with a bad memory, not with the nail art though. While I had these on I did some acrylic nails on a work buddy and I got an allergic reaction even though I was super careful, I think I accidentally nudged a piece of paper which acrylic acid while cleaning away the stuff (because I had gloves on during the whole thing). Anyhow, to make a long story short, the allergic reaction made my cuticle itch terrible and I got tiny little bumps on the skin around my nails (it doesn't show so much but if you look carefully you can see it in some of the photos). After the photos I removed my polish and went no-polish for a week or more to really make my nails relax from any chemicals. I also went crazy and oiled constantly. One thing is for sure, I wont touch acrylics again, I'll stick with nail polish. ^^
Anyhow, to the nail art; I did a gradient with neon green, yellow and pink and then I did dots in the same colors and then filled them in leo style. Quite happy with the result.
And warning to the sensitive ones; there's one picture in the end with my matching pedicure. :)
Polishes used:
China Glaze - Hang Ten-toes
China Glaze - I'm With The Lifeguard
China Glaze - Sun-Kissed
Kleancolor - Black
Superläckra naglar, trist att bli påmind om den allergiska reaktionen dock....
ReplyDeleteTack så mycket! Mjo, det var det enda tråkiga med den.
DeleteI'm sorry to hear you got that reaction! I've never worked with acrylics so I didn't know! anyway, this mani-pedi is super awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yea, it was a pitty, horrible feeling with itchy cuticles and no polish for a while. :/
DeleteSå himla läckert, underbart & somrigt! =)
ReplyDeleteTack så mycket Zophie! :)
DeleteJättesnygg nail art! Men tråkigt med allergiska reaktionen, hoppas du inte drabbas igen!
ReplyDeleteTack! Ja, jättetrist, tappade även suget på att blogga just då, när jag liks inte kunde måla naglarna. Men ska hålla mig borta från akryl nu.
Deletegalet snygga naglar!!

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about what happened.
Thank you! Yea, neons are never wrong. And thanks for your concern, hopefully it will never happen again. Holding my thumbs. :)
DeleteJättesnygg manikyr, gillat verkligen den här längden på dina naglar också! Har själv aldrig jobbat med akryl men det låter ju väldigt riskfullt och obehagligt. Skönt att det inte gav någon effekt i längden utan gick över.
ReplyDeleteTack så mycket! Ja jag är också glad att det ändå gick över så pas fort.
DeleteFy vad obehagligt det låter. Men manikyren är jättesnygg!
ReplyDeleteTack! Mjo, det var inte kul, var orolig ett tag att jag inte kunde ha lack nånsin, men tack och lov så blev det bra igen.
Deleteyour nails look soooo beautiful and special to me!
ReplyDeleteI loveee them :)
Thanks Julia! You're too kind!:D
