Wedding nails

Here's some wedding cake/wedding dress inspired nails I did for an IG challenge, but also my first Nail Challenge Collaborative this month with the theme; A new beginning. Loved this combo of white and holo and the chunky pearl accent. This is something I could consider doing again some time.

31DC2015 - Day 3; yellow - NCC presents: Cute kitty funky french

Today I have a two for one post, both the first Nail Challenge Collaborative post with the theme Pets and the 3rd day for the 31 day challenge which is yellow. So it will be long..

I asked a friend about this nail art, about what animal she saw. She responded "cat! ..or tiger, but definitely more cat ". So with that I'll stick with that and let's see this as cats. It reminds me of a stuffed animal cat, with the eyes like that.What do you think?

About cats as pets, I've never had one of my own, my parents don't like them and when I grew up kids in school which had cats had scratch marks all over their arms. When I asked why, they said that it was like that having a cat. If you play with it, it might scratch you. So I got skeptical towards cats, it was first after I met my boyfriend who laughed at me when I told him why I was so distant from his fathers cat. Then he explained that a cat would only scratch you if you treat them wrong and oh how much I've cuddled with his fathers cat since then. :) I'm also open towards getting a cat, me and my boyfriend have a dog, which I adore, but we both would like a cat some day too. <3

Anyhow, not much to say about the nail art itself. Just freehand and some dots and stripes. Not my fav animal nail art, but still okay.

White disappearing leopard pattern nail art

A late post with today's nails. I'm not sure what to call it but White disappearing leopard pattern nail art will have to do. I guess it could be called negative space nail art in some ways too. This was quite simple to do, first I did a gradient using a nude jelly and a jelly white and an opaque white. Then I freehanded the leo spots on top and embellished with clear white rhinestones. Sadly the photos are after 2-3 days of wear so they aren't as fresh as I usually want then to be but I liked them and wanted to show you. :)

NCC presents: Wood Anemone nail art in green

Hi, long time no seen. I've been busy and I've also neglected the NCC the whole month (even though I've done mani's during the month). The theme for the Nail Challenge Collaborative this month is Spring Flowers. My first spring flower nail art is inspired by Wood Anemone or "Vitsippa" as we say in Sweden. Also, this is my contribution to Green Wednesday.

I started off with a green to nude gradient. Then matte green glitter on top and then freehanded Wood Anemone inspired flowers placed random. At the end I have a photo I took just the other week with actual Wood Anemones, all for you to compare.. haha :)  Hope you like it!

NCC presents; recreating member designs; Black and white nail art inspired by Traces Of Polish

My third manicure for the theme "recreating member designs" in the Nail Challenge Collaborative is a recreation of Traces of Polish's Black and White manicure. With the help of striping tape she created a beautiful look. But before I had read how she did it, I though she had used a different technique. Which is the one I've used here and which I'll explain below.

I started off with painting two spots with white and black on regular baking paper. Then I let it dry completely and peeled it off. I then used a scissor and cut them in stripes, and then in squares. I then used a dotting tool to pick them up and attached them on wet polish. And top coat on top. Fairly quick and a quite dramatic look with the "perfect" squares. I'm very happy with this result. :)
I'll definitely use this technique more times too..already got plans... ^^
