Inspired mani SSK

Hi guys!
Last Tuesday the swimming season started where Stine and I work, so we decided to do a mani for the occasion.
Our swimming clubs' colours are bright orange and black.

The base colour is Depend - 133, a neon orange that dries matteish. 

Thumb: the logo of the swimming club, index: SSK, short for Solrød SvømmeKlub(Solrød (the citys' name) Swimming Club), middle: a man swimming crawl, ring: a head dive and little: Solrød

  For the water: Barry M - Indigo

Rainbow nails

So I wanted to do a different neon rainbow than I use to and here's how it turned out. 

Lacquers used from yellow to green:
Depend - 35
Depend - 133
Depend - 34
Rimmel - 605 Purple Reign (on right hand mixed with Rimmel - 312 Ultra Violet)
Sally Hansen - 130 Blue Me Away!
Dearlee - 016

Do you guys like neons and do you also make these 'rainbows'? :)

A polished phone

I want to show you guys my polished phone :b
I know it's old but it works(and I might get a new one soon) :)

Front. There used to be hearts of polish all the way around the display. 

 Back when I didn't have that many polishes - mostly Depend - I painted two hearts of every Depend lacquer I had.

One heart around the camera of each Depend polish I had back then. And how I had the bottom of it for a long while.

For those of you who don't know/can't remember which colour it used to be, it's the same silver as around the camera.

 Just the other day I painted the side of the phone this turquoiseish blue Kiko polish with shimmer - no. 300

Redecorated the bottom with tea bag.

Se I redecorated the back in same style as it was before the blue polish. Earlier it was a pink tropical fruit tea bag as I recall and now it's some Indian tea in lovely colours ;)

Is you phone also polished? :)

Metal look

 Today I wanna show you a mani with Depend - no. 223, a lovely silver polish. I've also used it here.
It's metallic and very awesome, it gives a alienlike/robotish look.

What do you guys think about silver polish? ;)

Bond, James Bond

Today I'm having a James Bond Marathon and of course I need matching nails ;)

Here's what I came up with: 

  If you can't tell  it's the gun barrel you always see in the beginning of the movies :)  

Again everything is free hand with my little brush and I used the lacquers: Rival de Loop - 30, Depend - white & red (the numbers have been worn out)

My right hand. I tried to do a matching design but I kinda screwed it up. Two of the fingers got smudged when I applied top coat but let's just pretend it's on purpose and it looks like blood ;)

I finished it off with Seche Vite fast dry top coat.
So how do you guys like it? :)

Geeky Math Camp nails

Today I did a mani inspired by fractals, a topic we learned about on a Math Camp - one week just before I went to Milan :)
This is the first mani I've done with a small brush, not just the one from the lacquers. The brush is a single-use brush, the ones that's used when you can get a make-up in a store. I think it was actually for eye liner, but who cares, it worked brilliantly ;)

With thumb mattified 

For those who can't see or don't know what it' supposed to look like: the thumb is Kochs' snowflake, index is pi, middle is the Sierpinski triangle, ring is the Mandelbrot set and the pinkie contains Greek letters: alpha, beta, omega, lambda and rho.

Before the ring finger got extra effects ;)

I think I tried with 'a step' too much on this one, if you understand what I mean. I tried to make spikes so it would be like step four on the background paper, but I think I should have stopped at step three. Sadly I didn't get a picture before I ruined it.

Probably the prettiest pi sign I've ever made. Normally I just screw it up. Proud ;)

A simplified version of the Sierpinski triangle

Before I filled it out :)

A simplified version of the Mandelbrot set with colour effects ;)

Comparison with 'the real deal'

Pinkie with alpha, beta, omega, lambda and rho next to the Mandelbrot set before colour effects

The stuff I used to make this mani: my mixing palette aka my calender, a small brush, nail polish thinner so the polish was easier to work with on the brush and didn't get too thick too fast and polishes: Kiko: no. 333, 235, 240 & 296, Depend: no. unknown(the red one), 34 & 247(I think), Gosh: 600 Matt Effect Top Coat & Special Edition 001 Lavender Love, Barry M: 302 Fuchia, Rival de Loop: no. 30 & La Femme Beauty: 133 Ultra Magents

While I was doing this mani I managed to break my brand new glass nail file :'(

Anyway, what do you think?
And of course, enjoy your holiday :)

Hello frenchie. Long time no see

Today I did a classic french mani and I can't even remember why, but I think it turned out pretty cute.

I might keep this mani for some days ;)
I used Depend - no. 31 and Rimmel - Lycra French Manicure 442 French Rose

I also did my toes today. 

Barry M - Berry Ice Cream and H&M Blue Wave
Because of the sheerness of Blue Wave it is on top of Berry Ice Cream, which is a pastel pinky purple. Now it's purple without the extra pink. Even though Blue Wave is so sheer, it really has lots of lots of shimmer in it - blue and purple shimmer. Adorable.
The shimmer was very hard to 'catch' with the camera but I hope you can see it in the pictures below :)

I have no idea why, but this picture insisted on turning the wrong way -.-'

Enjoy your summer! :)

New crack polishes

Here the other day I bought two lovely crack polishes from Depend.

 

I I had to try these out and made a cracked manicure. 

Sally Hansen - 110 Green With Envy vs. Depend green without number

  Since I bought Sally Hansen - 110 Green With Envy I've thought it was identical with the green Depend without a number.

Anyway I decided  to compare them on my nails and if you can't tell the difference I'm wearing Green With Envy on my thumb, middle finger and pinkie. It's Depend on the two other nails. 

At first glance - and second and third - you can't really tell the difference but you can see in some of the pictures that the Depend lacquer is a bit more fresh neon greenish.
