Leopard print

I wanted to try to make a leopard print in three colours but it didn't get quite as good as I wanted it to be :b

I used H&M - Ocean Sand as base, Pieces - Golden Chokolate for the print and Tiger - 17 as highlighter.
Does any of you have tips for how to make a good leopard print with three colours? :)

My first sponging + more

Today I came up with this cute design but the tape I used to make straight lines ruined the polish a bit because it wasn't dry enough.
I used the lacquers from Pieces - Soul Petrol, Highland Green & Red Berries and from H&M - White

 Anyway, I ended up removing this mani quite fast and made a mani with stripes and sponging gradient.

 This is my first time to try sponging - at least on nails :b I think it went pretty well except that the neon colours on my pinkie became too dark because there were too many layers of different neon colours.

The colours I used are:
Depend - no. 34, 35, 54, 131, 133, 159, 193, 223, 247, & that green colour again where the number has been worn out
H&M - Purple
Pieces - Red Berries
Models Own - Purple Mystique
Rimmel - Lycra Pro 312 Ultra Violet, 60 Seconds 605 Purple Reign & 60 Seconds 825 Sky High
Kiko - 333
Barry M - 308 Berry Ice Cream
Tiger - no. 17
Sally Hansen - Blue Me Away!
Essie - Turquoise & Caicos
Gosh - 597 Miss Minty
Rival de Loop - 55

Emerald City

I'm sorry if you're disappointed in this very simple manicure.
Well I'm going to a party tonight and I'm wearing a green dress and I thought that this must be the ultimate party polish and it will match my dress.
The polish I'm talking about is Emerald City from Models Own. When I ordered it on the internet I thought it looked very turquoise green but then it arrived and it looked only green to me. The more I look at it the more turquoise it seems to me. When I was taking pictures I couldn't even make it look green. Maybe it's all blue tomorrow, who knows? ;)
For base I used Tigers' green polish no. 27 and I'm wearing 3 coats glitter polish I think :)

The polish is pretty much the exact same colour as my top but my camera ate all the green colour itself. It is actually green with only a hint of turquoise.

 No worries dear friends. I have summer holidays and tons of time so you will see more advanced manicures soon.

Older manicures

I have a couple of pictures of older manicures that I would also like to share.
About three weeks ago I did this manicure:

As you can see I took the photo a couple of days after I made it at it doesn't look that good, but anyway here it is.
I used the following colours in this order to make horizontal stripes:
Pieces - heavy metal
Tiger - colour no. 17
Depend - no. 45
Gosh - 572 Golden bronze
Pieces - Golden chokolate

On top I used Depends crack polish in black. This manicure looked great together with my totally cute giraffe ring and clothes in the style of safari ;)


A little less than a week before I made this manicure. It's the same design as the one you've just seen but with different colours.

For this mani I used the following lacquers to make the stripes in this order:
Gosh - 597 Miss Minty
H&m - Blue (as i recall)
Sally Hansen - 130 Blue Me Away!
Gosh - special edition no. 001 Lavender Love
Rimmel - Lycra Pro no. 312 Ultra Violet
Rimmel - 60 seconds no. 605 Purple Reign

On top I used Depends purple crack polish and finished it off with Gosh - no. 600 Matt Effect Top Coat which is a polish I really adore.


A last mani for now is one I made back in March.

I know it's not pretty around my nails but that's how much I bothered to remove :b
The lacquers used is:
H&m - Pure White
Depend - no. 199, 196 and 54
Rival de Loop - no. 55 (i think, it's a long time ago now :b)
Gosh - 556 Cool Blue

If you have any ideas for what I should do next please write me a comment and I will be happy to make it as good as I can.
