White Lace on Pink nails

I rarely wear a polish without any nail art on it so I did this cute lace nail art on top of By K Happy Landings. A stamped lace pattern in white and then I dotted on tiny dots in gold.

The lace pattern is from a MoYou London plate in their Gothic Collection and I used Mundo des Unas White polish to print it. The dots are made with Essie Good As Gold.

By K Happy Landings has such a great glow to it and I didn't want to hide it too much so chose a sparse lace pattern. Quite happy with this manicure actually :)

Traffic sign nails

The theme for today's Nail Art Sunday is "Traffic Signs" and I've done a "beware of upcoming traffic light" sign :) I believe my inspiration is an Italian sign. Here in Sweden we have a yellow background instead of white.

The base is Smitten Polish The First Lobster and then I did a striping tape manicure and added OPI My Vampire Is Buff. Three dots completed the look. Top coat on top.

My inspiration :)

Daisy Nails for Midsummer

For this Nail Art Sunday I want to show you my Midsummer manicure. I wanted to do something summerish and with the Swedish colors blue and yellow. However, it's really hard to balance blue and yellow so I decided to add some white too. It all ended up with a blooming stampicure in the shape of daisies which are a real midsummer flowers to me.

The base is the amazing Baker Street from Nails Inc. Then I used a white Depend Stamping polish (#6700) and MoYou London stamping plate Pro Collection XL-06. The final touch was to do yellow dots with Barry M Lemon Ice Cream in all the flowers.

The result was very good! They feel summerish and midsummerish ;) I got many comments at work which is always fun! Even though I felt that most customers didn't' believe me when I said that I've done them myself… Why are people so suspicious….?

Floral Nails

For today's Nail Art Sunday I've got a beautiful floral manicure for you! White on turquoise is so summer-ish! Makes me think of Greece with white houses and turquoise water.

The base is a beautiful Danish polish from Moss Copenhagen called Envy. I got it from my amazing friend Goldie and we call it Tyrkis ;) which I believe is Turquoise in Danish :)

I used a white stamping polish from Swedish Depend with the sexy name #6700 ;) The print is from MoYou plate Artist Collection-05. (A full plate pattern Lela ;))

I'm so happy with the result! I love the colors and as a florist I love, love, loooooove floral patterns! I almost didn't want to remove this manicure but as they say: Upwards and onwards! ;) Hope you like it too!

Blue Butterfly Wing Nails

Here is another butterfly wing manicure! This time they are blue glitter wings and they turned out so pretty! Perfect for Nail Art Sunday! :D

The base is Viva la Diva's Moonlight Lady which gives them such depth and life! I've stamped the wing pattern with MoYou London plate Pro Collection-07 and Essie No Place Like Chrome. Then I just dotted on some white dots with Barry M Matte White.

Moroccan Tiles Nails

I was really pleased with this manicure! No, more than pleased ;) Super excited more like! I never dreamt these would turn out so well! I was in a hurry and it was late and I just wanted to spice up my blue cream with something.

The base is the super pretty and fairly new Swagger from Picture Polish. Since I'm totally hooked on stamping I reached for MoYou plate Pro Collection-07 and a white stamping polish from Depend (#6700). After stamping I still felt it was missing something so I dug out my dotting tool and Orly Luxe. It turned out to be a good choice! ;) The result can be seen below. Hope you like it as much as I did!

I made them for today's Nail Art Sunday and they remind me of Maroccan tiles - hence the name of this manicure ;)

Scrabble Nail Art

I knew exactly what I wanted to do when the theme for today's Nail Art Sunday was released! The theme is "Numbers" and this is something I've been wanting to do for ages but haven't got around to - scrabble nails! :D

Barry M Matte White as a base and then Barry M Black Nail Art Pen. The trickiest part was to choose what to write. I wanted a four letter word with not just letters with the value one on each one of them. So in the end I ended up with something….. cozy ;) 18 points!

French Heart Nails

Today my boyfriend and I have been a couple for 15 years! Not always a straight road ;) but still - 15 years today :)

I celebrate this by working (I'm a florist and Valentine's Day is around the corner - I think you can imagine the work load ;)) and by showing you this rather poorly made heart nail art. But I hope that you still like it and possibly can get inspired by it ;)

The base is the lovely Bourjois #26 Blue no Blues and then I've used Barry M Matte White to do the tips and then the black Barry M Nail Art Pen to do the lines and the hearts.

Bourjois Blue no Blues is actually slightly more green live so I'll try to enter this nail art to Green Wednesday :) I'll also join the Valentine Polish Week with this mani :) Click here for more info.

80's Zebra Nails

Rumor has it that the IT pattern for 2014 is zebra so for this Nail Art Sunday I've done - surprise, surprise - zebra nails!

There are many stamping plates on the market with zebra patterns. The one I've used today is a bit different though. It's actually the head of a zebra! My nails aren't long enough yet but this zebra stamp is complete with a cute little zebra nose :) The plate is from MoYou by the way. Pro Collection-05.

The base is my favorite white polish - Matte White from Barry M. The black is Illamasqua Scorn. To get that special 80's feeling I filled in the eye with a dot of Orly Beach Cruiser. Honestly, what could be more 80's than zebra pattern and neon? ;)

Stained Glass Nail Art

This was my first attempt trying the stained glass technique and I'm not that impressed with the result but it was fun and I'll try it again with another design.

The base for this nail art is Color Club Gingerbread and then I've used a black polish, a white polish and a silver polish and a thin brush. I decided to go for a floral look and maybe it turned out to be water lilies or lotus flowers ;)

I did the petals first and then I framed them with the black polish but I know that other people do the other way around. I guess you can do both ways :)

I also want to wish you all a very

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thank you so much for reading my blog and an extra thank you to all of you who have taken the time to leave comments! Without you blogging wouldn't be the same!

Reindeer Nail Art

I've been so lazy and not done any blogging or reading any blogs the last couple of days and I soooo needed that. All the hard work before Christmas was really exhausting. Instead I've been in Linkoping visiting family and then I've done a clear out at home and even bought some new furniture :)

Today it's this years last Nail Art Sunday and I'm going our with a bang! ;) Well, at least with reindeers and trees in snow :) Lol!

The base for this nail art is a blue shimmer polish from Swedish Kicks called New Year Sky, very suitable ;) The silvery white polish is a stamping polish from Swedish Depend, #6703. The reindeer is from Bundle Monster plate BM-214 and the tree is from BM-205.

First I did the base. Then I stamped on the reindeers and trees. After that I used a sponge to do the snow on the ground and then I did the falling snow with a small dotting tool. I sealed it all with one coat of Seche Vite.

Christmas Wrapping Paper Nails

Today on the day before Christmas many of us are wrapping our Christmas gifts to our beloved friends and family. So today I've got a very appropriate nail art for you - my interpretation of a Christmas wrapping paper :)

The base is Barry M Matte White. Then I've used Essence Gold Digger and Bundle Monster plate BM-212 to create the peacock pattern. To make this nail art a bit more christmassy I added green and red dots. The red is Barry M Blood Orange and the green is China Glaze Holly-Day.

I'm quite happy with this nail art. I like the colors but the stamping could have been better. I was in a hurry and that is never good when it comes to stamping ;)

Barry M Lady - swatches and review

There is no snow right now were I live :( so with a wish for a white xmas I want to show you a white textured polish from Barry M today. This is Lady.

This beauty is unfortunately a bit weakly pigmented so I recommend it over a white polish. I had to do four coats to get it opaque. However, the result was super pretty so it was worth it :)

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Textured.

Number of coats: Four.

Formula: Good! Very easy to apply! BUT weakly pigmented and slow drying time for the last coats.

Brush: Very good! No complaints!

Top Coat: No.

Color accuracy in pictures: Accurate. 

Grade: 3/5

I love the glimmer of this polish and the hints of gold that appears in some lighting! It's such a shame it needs so many coats to be opaque and that the last coats dry so slowly. However, if you layer it over a white polish you can get around those faults and then you've got a gem! :)

Polkagris Nails (Candy Rock Nails)

Polkagris (internationally sometimes called candy rock) is a Swedish candy invented in the Swedish town of Gränna in 1859. It's a hard type of candy and it taste peppermint. Polka is a traditional dance and the rumor has it that people used to call candy for gris in those days.

In Sweden polkagrisar is often associated with Christmas, so for this Nail Art Sunday I give you - polkagris nails!

The base is MAC Obey Me and then I've used striping tape to create the lines while adding Barry M Matte White. After the tape was removed I added a top coat.

I'm pleased with the result actually! This type of nail art look good at short nails and they look so real I want to eat them ;)

Interlocking Black and White Dots

The theme for today's Nail Art Sunday is "Black and White" and I've got a black and white dotticure for you :)

Ever since I tried the interlocking dots manicure I've been wanting to do it in black and white so this was the perfect opportunity to do it. I'm not happy with the result though. I could have done it better but you get an idea on how it could look. I did it rather fast after a loooong working day and after a loooong 60 hours working week so maybe I should be nicer to myself ;)

The white is Barry M Matte White and the black is Illamasqua Scorn. The white is the base and then I did a diagonal striping tape mani and then I just to dotted away ;)

Cameo Nails

I think we need a little nail art here at LMNP! :) This is a nail art I did a while ago and it turned out fairly good. It's a bit crocked but I like the overall look. Cameos remind me of my beloved grandma who I miss every day.

The base is a textured glitter polish from Swedish Kicks and called Black Diamond. Then I've stamped the cameo pattern with Depend's white stamping polish #6700 and MoYou plate Pro Collection-07.

Pansy Nails - swatches

After a whole month filled with scary halloween nail arts I thought I'll do something super cute to compensate ;) So for this Nail Art Sunday I've done Pansy Nails! I guess they could also go for Violet Nails :)

The base is the beautiful Illamasqua Nomad and then I've used my beloved dotting tools and a tiny brush to create the pansies. Polishes used are Illamasqua Jo'mina (lilac), Barry M Matte White and China Glaze Happy Go Lucky (yellow).

Perhaps these are very spring-y but on this gloomy day I think it's ok to long for spring ;)

If anyone want a tutorial for these please let me know and I'll try to do one.

Do you long for spring too today?

Jason Voorhees Goes Glam Nails

The theme for today's Nail Art Sunday is "Halloween". I've been doing Halloween nails all October because I've joined a Halloween Challenge so frankly I was running out of ideas ;) See all my Halloween nails here.

Then I remembered that I've always wanted to do the mask that Jason Voorhees wears in the Friday 13th movies. But as always I must always do things my way ;) so I decided that Jason would go glam! Lol! So here he is in his most glittering mask ever! :)

The base is the beautiful textured glitter polish "Lady" from Barry M. Then I've just done dots in various sizes with dotting tools and Illamasqua Boosh.

My inspiration :)
