Black and silver leopard nails + makeup haul

 Oh I've been lazy. I've been so tired this week and at Thursday even I understood why, full bursting cold with all the nasty effects of it. I'm still not good, but think I'll go to work tomorrow anyhow.

Anyhow, I've got 4 manis posted on my IG while nothing happened here. So let's change that. :) First out is my black and silver leopard mani which was inspired by the mascara I recently bought. :D

Here's what I bought, foundation primer (kicks), foundation(maybelline), mascara(kicks), eye liner (kicks), lipstick pencil (kicks), matte powder (isadora), and eye shadow primer (kicks). Basically a lot of Kicks products. So far I've tried most of the stuff. Worth mentioning is the the foundation primer which actually works really well. The lipstick pencil is great except that it dries my lips after a while. And the eye liner last without ever smudging, but is also a bit harder to applicate as I'm used to a pencil, not a marker tip. And well, the foundation, mascara and powder I've used before and they work great for me. :)

Polishes used:
Essence - City Girls Rocks (LE)
Gina Tricot - Black

NCC presents: Punk rock inspired nail art in silver and black

Also my 4th Punk & Rock nail art for Nail Challenge Collaborative March (yup 3 days late in posting this one here) is in silver and black. Somehow the color scheme inspired me. :)

Here I had a silver base which I stamped a skull stamping upon and then I did a distressed looked stamping on top and put on square metal studs kinda matching the stamping. I also put on matte top coat. I thought I put on the matte on all nails... but missed one.. lol XD
It is messy, but I hope you like it. :)

Polishes used:
Kleancolor - Metallic Black
Essence - City Girls Rule

NCC presents - Hollow metal studs and geometrical nail art in black and silver

Time for my 3rd Nail Challenge Collaborative nail art this month with the theme Punk & rock. Again I went for the more rock like manicure. Here I also was able to use the cool Hollowed nail art decorations from Born Pretty Store which I've been given to review. More info below but basically I really liked them. :)

Polishes and materials used:
P2 - Black Glitter
Essence - City Girls Rules!
Nordic Cap -NP12
BornPrettyStore Hollow studs: item id: 25153 Link here.

Here you see a closeup, the wheel come in a variety of shapes and both in gold and silver. They where surprisingly easy to attach to the nails with only top coat and lasted really well.

NCC presents: Distressed nail art in black and silver

Happy Easter to you all. :) Been a bit slow in publishing lately but here is my second Punk & Rock inspired nail art for Nail Challenge Collaborative. I decided to make a distressed nail art with a black base and silver on top. I also decorated with a skull charm from Born Pretty Store which I painted black with nail polish. :)

NCC presents: Spike stud punk rock nail art

The theme for Nail Challenge Collaborative this month is Punk & Rock, and yea, I knew what I wanted to try out, yeees... spike studs. :D I bought the studs from ebay and tbh I'm not sure if these are meant for nail art or something else. No matter what, I've seen this nail art several times before and wanted to try it out, just for fun. I knew from the beginning that this wasn't wearable or even long lasting, but hey, I see this one more as conceptual art, than a manicure per ce. Hope you'll like it. ^_^

Made a little artsy pic too, with one of my fav necklaces and some suiting jewelries. ^^

System of a down inspired nail art

Well, it has been challenges the whole last month and maybe you noticed I'm taking part in more ones too, which still is ungoing. One of those is #musicpolishfestival (on IG) which had "favorite concert" as theme for this post. I've been to many good concerts and I was heavily considering my last Metallica concert but both because of lack of nail art inspiration there I decided for a SOAD concert. I think it was my first concert where I was super stoked seeing the band and really knew all the songs etc. It was pretty hard making a nail art inspired by a concert, but I decided to make it black (obviously, is there any other "color"? lol) and with a silver skull and silver square metal studs. I don't know if it makes sense to you but somehow I think it gives an abstract interpretation of SOAD+the concert. :) Also it's quite wearable (and yup this is a NOTD). Hope you'll like it. :)
