first time half moons

Hey guys!

So I finally got a light pink nail polish that I had wanted for a long time because every girl should have one, and I needed to try it out so I thought about a possible mani that I could do with it. I decided to do half moons since I had never done that before.. the question was how to do them.. I thought about it and decided that I needed something round so... hole protector stickers were the perfect choice! Luckily I had some lying around so I tried the half moons and it was successful yay :) although when I took the stickers off some of the base color went with it and I had to fix it.. no biggy.. so here are my pastel half moon nails:


 Oh yea I forgot I did a reverse one on the pointer finger to mix things up :)






I liked them but I think next time I will do somthing with glitter in order to spice this mani up a little.. I'll see :)
Oh and Meana I'll see what I can do about prom although personally I do not like green so much on nails and I think the nails shouldn't distract from the dress and jewelry but I will see what I can do.

This is my second choice. About this dress I just love the color(my favorite) and the flowers on this one part of the dress:)

vintage roses

Hey cuties,
So I was browsing on the internet yesterday and came across Mr.Candiipants' tumblr blog and saw these awesome rose-vintage-nails... I knew that I had to try to do them on my own nails. She had a step by step tutorial on her blog which was helpful. The design took me forever because the many layers had to dry before adding another one but it was very relaxing and fun so I had no problem with that although I am so impatient usually. I really love them and wore them around proudly :) The only problem: when I do a mani I really like the only thing I want to do is paint my nails again.. weird haha


Anyways back to the nails. I always use my brother and dad's paintbrushes they use for their airplane modeling which is very convenient and especially this time the flowers and green leaves needed brushes. I also added a matte top coat which was a really neat finish to the design. So enough talking here are the pictures:






So I hope you like them :)

OPI Pure Laquer nail apps

Hey guys!
Sorry for not posting a lot lately but here I am with a review of the OPI Pure Laquer nail apps!! A friend of mine recommended them to me and after having used nail stickers before and been disappointed by them I hesitated. But since the first nail stickers I used were a free gift out of a magazine and probably pretty poor quality, I decided to give them a shot. I put them on on my New Orleans trip and at last I could not wait so I ripped the packaging apart and started on my nails. Well I found this picture on google to show you how they look like:


Soo... as I said I could not wait to try them on, especially after I found out that they were made out of real nail polish with base, polish, and top coat. The instructions were easy to follow and it was a quick and perfect manicure.. I LOVE THEM!! There are 16 pieces which are sealed in an air resistant bag to keep them moist and I could easily found the perfect shape for my nails. The result: no bubbles, or wrinkles, and a perfect manicure which looks nothing like stickers! I got so many compliments for them :) So I definitely recommend them thanks Grace for talking me into buying those!
Okay here are the pictures that I took about 3-4days after I put them on which is why they are not quite soo perfect anymore but oh well ;)

And here they are! Yay I though the peacock pattern was so cute :) Sadly the nail has already grown out a bit (my nails grow fast o.O) and I probably did not set it right onto the edge which I will get better at with a little practice I promise! 






OHHH and one last but important thing! Never everevereverever use a top coat on these because it is already included and would just smeer up the cute design... I tried it on one of my left overs out of curiosity.. So to end this post I have all (or most of) the OPI Pure Laquer nail apps motives for you:



They look so much cuter in person though :)

Realizing it's New Year... a week later:)

Hey everyone! It's kind late, but Happy New Year:) 

Hope you all had a good start in this new year!

Long time ago.. we wanted to post some cool own created shirts, unfortunately we didn't get the chance yet, BUT it will come latest this weekend!! 
Anyways, I found two very cool dresses that my sister showed me, and I thought I need to share this.
This is the first one:


What I love about this dress is how the upper part of it is this flower pattern fabric! gorgeous...


The back and the color of this dress is what makes this normal summer dress super cute! 

This weekend me and Elena will present the cool T-shirts we made... so hang on!!

Heart nails and Black Friday shopping

Hey Guys!
Happy late thanksgiving :) As a non-American I must say that I haven't really connected with the tradition of thanksgiving yet but I have to say that the one week we got out of school was a big plus! I visited Atlanta with my family and we really enjoyed it, my favorite part was watching Cirque du Soleil... It was incredibly amazing! The acrobats usually started out with something that was impressive and then ended their performance with something that was absolutely unbelievable :D If anyone of you ever gets the chance to go, go for it it's so worth it! It was forbidden to take pictures but there is one I found on the internet and one of my favorites.

Did I mention that every performance had its little story and the whole thing pictured evolution? I also really enjoyed that part of the show.

I also visited the World of Coca-Cola, a must see when visiting Atlanta (although I am a Pepsi fan). I got a cute little lip balm with Coke taste hmmm...

We also went shopping at Macy's where I got three cute sweaters and a pyjama which happened to inspire my latest manicure:

I'm in love with these little cute hearts and from far away this mani looks like stickers.. I think it's because of the white base. My thumb turned out the best and the design was so easy that even my right hand looked good :)



I also went Black Friday shopping -of course. I got bareMinerals' Little Luxuries set since I needed a new mascara anyways so that came handy and I have never tried anything from bareMinerals before so I'm going to make a review about it soon. Also I bought a couple of nail polishes that I had been looking at for long- mint green and peach (my two new favorite colors) and a purple polish with green shimmer. I also  got a new topcoat from OPI. Prepare for some swatches and I already have some sweet designs in mind I can't wait to do but I want to give the hearts their time :)
