Blue and green gradient with pink/black glitter gradient nail art

I've already showed this in instagram, been really busy lately so here it is here on the blog. ^^ Blue and green gradient with pink/black glitter gradient on top. For this nail art my inspiration was the color combo, which I though looked colorful and vibrant. ^^ Hope you'll like it!

Pink and grey nail art with stamping and gradient

This is made for fun challenge which is called "When Colours Collide" which is basically creating a nail art with a given color combo. Pink and grey / gray is such a fun combo, and surprisingly this is my first of this combo here on the blog. I cheated and added some black to this combo, using a black and pink glitter polish, but it still counts.. ;) Also did a accent nail with stamping and embellished it with some pink rhinestones. Really liked this! <3

Pretty & Polished - Boy Bleu, swatch and layering

I've showed Boy Bleu several times before but not over pink before. The pictures are from early 2013 (lol emptying the archive again) but I've worn it layered over white, over brown and over red. My favorite combo is not over pink anyhow, brown and red are so far the favorites. Anyhow, this is my contribution to Blue Monday.

So I've talked about Boy Bleu before. It's black and bright blue hex glitter in 2 sizes and also tiny glitter in both colors, and some very occasional large semi matte white hexagons in a clear base. Those large white hexagons are so rare that they are unnecessary in my perspective.

What do you think about this combo? Do you have any proposals on more base colors for Boy Bleu?

Black n blue glitter on brown

Today I'm showing a simple inverted glitter gradient. I just LOVE this color combination with brown, bright blue and black! What do you think?

Pretty & Polished - Punk'd Up Betty, layering on pink, swatch

Pink Thursday and since I've prepped a large archive with lots of manicures I might as well show colors which fits for the theme days. Here I'm showing double up with pink. The base is Kleancolor - Neon Pink and then I've layered Pretty & Polished - Punk'd Up Betty.

Punk'd Up Betty has black opaque glitter in mini size and middle size black hexes. There's also pink middle size hexes and large silver hexes. Those silver hexes I think this could do with out to be honestly. I've showed this polish and it's blue brother Boy Bleu serveral time and both of them has the same formula. It's for layering and opacity can't be build with just the polish is self which I think is sad, I just love my floams and wish that this would work as the same. To sum it up I still like this polish, but maybe on another base than pink. ;)

Abstract nail art in red, blue and black

Yesterday I was too tired to schedule and today I've been busy until now. I was actually at an job interview during this morning, not to a job I actually want but hey, money is money and Christmas is coming.. Today I'll show you a brand new nail art, a NOTD and also what I wore to the interview. I wanted something classical (I decided to try the red Claudia I showed you yesterday; 607 as base) and with some tiny decoration which fell on Pretty&Polished and this is what I ended up with:
(And yea, the pictures are crappy and why you'll see at the bottom of this post...)

Polishes used:
Claudia - 607
Pretty and Polished - Boy Bleu
Jordana pop art - Black Mark

I adored the color combination with the classical red and the neon blue and black. I wasn't going to change my manicure until tomorrow at the earliest but during mid day I noticed that all nail polish was missing on my right index finger! When I got home I noticed that the nail polish seemed loose on all nails so I had to quickly photograph them in simple florescent lamp light, otherwise everything would be ruined, which is the reason why the color is a bit off to reality, the top picture is actually the most color accurate and I've already photographed 607 alone in correct light so you'll see that later. After I was done I was able to peel off all nail polish on all nails, mostly i large pieces. Normally nail polish sticks well to my nails so I hope it isn't Claudia's fault but I'll look into that (will try a new Claudia to night).

Is there any brand which make your nails peel or is it just coincidence? Any one who's tried Claudia and experienced this? And also, what did you think about the manicure? Too daring for a job interview?

Geometrical pink nail art

Time for me to add some nail art in United In Pink, and one that I'm proud to come up with, I think that the effect became very beautiful with the lines and the neon and glitter. I'm also interested to try this in other colors than pink. Hope you liked this! :)

I'll probably be a bit unavailable today, I'm going to the capital as a part of a recruiting process for a job I've applied and I'll be back home very late so I don't know if I got time to read any blogs or comment or answer comments, but I've scheduled posts.

Pretty and Polished - Boy Bleu, swatch

Monday and I'm able to come up with something at least some what blue. I bought this polish from Pretty & Polished for awhile ago and it's called Boy Bleu. It's blue opaque glitter and black opaque glitter in different sizes. There's also some occasional very large silver hexagons in it and all the glitter is in a clear base.

I don't know if this counts in Lindas Nailorama's Blue Monday theme, we'll see ;) Anyhow, more blue polishes can be found at her blog in a link list later to night.

Below you see Boy Bleu without any colored base which was a fail since it never seemed to get opaque. I used something between 4-5 coats and it just got thicker and thicker and didn't cover so well. I actually bought this because I thought it would cover on it's own like one of my favorites Ninja Polish - Humble Bee which is yellow and black glitter in a clear base. I've also seen Boy Bleu in a manicure where it was on it's own and covered, so either that was 10 coats or the polish has been reformulated with less glitter. And while I'm at it, I don't like the large silver hex glitter, there's too few to make any difference, they're just in the way.

I made a new try an this time I layered it over a white creme base with three coats and this time I liked it better. The blue glitter is very bright and almost neon in my opinion. I've also tried this with other bases and really likes it.

I recommend Boy Bleu but I think it's important to see that it's only a layering polish so you wont get disappointed (like me).

Do you got this polish or the pink variant of it and has is covered on it's own for you?

Pink speckled polish comparison

Hi, it's Thursday and let's make it pink with a comparison between pink polishes with matte black opaque glitter. Normally I'm not in to pink polishes (unless they're neon) but with black glitter anything goes, I LOVE black glitter.

And yes, pink and Thursday, for more pink polishes, check out Princessemma and her Pink Thursday theme. :)

At first I thought these three polishes where quite similar based at looking at the bottles. However I soon realized that they're are very far from each other on the nail. It's more like if they would be good for an ombre which means that I must get two more pink polishes with black glitter to make this work! ;) 

 Above you see the polishes on the nails. I've showed them separately swatched here at my blog before and if you want to come to the full blog post, just click the link below for each polish.
