May Nail Art Challenge: Dinosaurs

Another blogpost for you today! Another challenge for the random nail art challenge. 
The challenge for today was Dinosaurs!

I really struggled with this nail art, I had no clue how I could do something with dinosaurs on my nails, I searched WeHeartIt and Instagram for inspiration but didn't find anything of which I though I could use. 

So I kept this one really simple but I still think it came out ok. For this nail art I used only one nailpolish. 'Dirty Liana' by Catrice and the black is acrylic paint.

 

It supposed to be a dinosaur who has eaten all the leaves of the branch on my pinky and after that continued his walk with a full tummy ;)

Hope you like this nail art

May Nail Art Challenge: Yin Yang

Greeting lovely nailcrazies! 

Today I don't have a huge blogpost for you. We are closing in on the end of may, and the end of the challenges, but we still have some to go! Today I made a super simple Yin Yang nail art

For this nail art I used a black nailpolish #851 by Hema and 'Nickel Minaj' by Catrice.

Have fun painting and creating

May Nail Art Challenge: Triangles & Fashion

What a beautiful day today, I've spent the whole day outside, first painting my nails and after that I did nothing but sitting in the sun. Now I am sitting inside again because clouds are covering the sun.. 

Today I've combined two challenges into one nail art. 'Triangles' form the random nail art challenge and 'Fashion' from the may nail art challenge. I also used the dry brush/distressed technique again for this nail art. I think this technique adds depth in the nail art when you add something ontop off the distressed look.

For the fasion part I made the distressed look, and for the triangles part I made... Circles! :D Bad joke... of course I made triangles ;)

 

For this nail art I used for the base 'Blindfold me blue' by Rimmel London and used 'Breakfast in bed' by Rimmel London and 'Eletrix blue' by Catrice for the dry brush effect. The black triangles are made with acrylic paint. 

Next: Dinosaurs and Yin&Yang!

May Nail Art Challenge: Tattoo

A day late, but here is my 'tattoo' nail art for the Random Nail Art May Challenge!
I didn't want to take my previous nail art off. I like the aztec nails too much ;)

But I didn't want to stop with the challenges. So I eventually removed the aztec nail art for this simple but cute nail art.

The polishes I used for this nail art are 'My APPricot' and 'Kitch me if you can' Both by Catrice. And the black is acrylic paint.

I first applied two coats of the 'My APPricot' and when that was dry I added one coat of the glitter 'Kitch me if you can' And when that coat was dry, i went over it again with the 'My APPricot'. To make the glitter a bit less shimmery.

And I know what you are thinking, this has nothing to do with any tattoo whatsoever. But for me it does
Ever since we had to put our oldest dog to sleep I wanted to have a paw tattoo on my wrist. She was a beautiful and super sweet dog. But I haven't had the courage to go get it done. But I will!  

Next up: Fashion & Triangles!

#52 May Nail Art Challenge: Aztec

Today the challenge was to make a Aztec nail art and I really really(really really really) like to make any aztec or tribal nail art, it looks so nice in my opinion! So I was excited to do this for the may challenge.

For this nail art I used three nailpolishes and black acrylic paint. The polishes are named. 'Take it mint' 'Dirty Liana' and 'Holo in one' all by Catrice.

I also made a tutorial for this nail art, if you want to see how I did this, you can click right here and you'll go directly to the tutorial ;)

Oh, I'm so in love with this nail art especially the print on the middlefinger

 

Have fun painting and creating,

May Nail Art Challenge: Sunset

Another challenge from the May nail art challenge. This time the theme was sunset. We're halfway into the month and I'm still keeping up with both of the challenges! ;)

For this nail at I was inspired by a picture my brother has made. And this is the picture that inspired me:











When I saw the challenge I immediatley knew I wanted to recreate a picture of my brother. So this is what I made on my own nails:

 

I'm kinda sad that the roe almost dissapears in the light that reflects on my nails, and I just could not find a better pose to fix that :(

The polishes I used for this nail art are #809 from Hema and on top of that I sponged 'Bloody Mary to Go' 'Orange-Utan' and 'Birdy Reloaded' all by Catrice.

I always have a hard time cleaning up my cuticles when I use a red for sponging (as you can see my cuticles are still kinda red) I wanted to try out a different technique to clean my cuticles up, but I totally forgot about that plan when I was sponging the colours on! Silly me ;)

I hope you like this nail art, plenty more to come this month! 

Have fun painting and creating

#51 May Nail Art Challenge: Teal

As I'm writing this, its close to being the next day already.. oops.. But it still is the 13th of may. And for this day I have a teal nail art for you girls!

A while back I bought a lot of polishes(Haul blogpost!) which included some nailpolishes from the Rimmel London Rita Ora collection. Which where perfect for this challenge!

The polishes I used are '873 Breakfast in bed' '863 Do not disturb' from Rimmel London and 'Supernova' by NYC

I have filmed a tutorial for this nail art, but I have a new laptop and now I have troubles installing my editing program.. So I will hopefully fix this soon!

Have fun painting and creating

May Nail Art Challenge: Mom

Happy Mothers Day! 

For both of the challenges there was a mothers day themed challenge. But on days before mothers day. So I waited for today, which is Mothers Day in The Netherlands, to make this nail art! I didn't knew what to make for this day, so my first idea was to make something on the nails of my mother. But she had to work and she is not allowed to wear nailpolish while working.  My second plan was to ask her what she wanted I make on my nails. But she couldn't think of anything... 

So I ended up just painting my nails a red/dark pink colour and drawing some random things on my nails. I think they ended up nice though :)

For the base colour I used 'Raspberryfields Forever' by Catrice and the white and black are acrylic paints.

 

Have fun painting and creating,

May Nail Art Challenge: Bees

Next challenge in the random nail art challenge. 
BEES! 

For this nail art I used the same yellow I used for the Cinco de Mayo nails. 'Birdy Reloaded' by Catrice and '#851' by Hema

I love this nail art because this nail art is so simple but still looks adorable!

May Nail Art Challenge: Cinco De Mayo

A day late but here it is. The third challenge of the Nail Art May challenge from Californails.

For this nail art I used 'Birdy Reloaded' by Catrice and the other colours are acrylic paint. 


 








  
For this nail art I was inspired by the dresses I saw on google when I googled 'Cinco de Mayo'

May Nail Art Challenge: Star Wars

'May the fourth be with you' 

I've never seen the films so this challenge was kinda difficult because I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do on my nails. 

So I just googled 'star wars nail art' and got some ideas from the search results.

The nailpolishes I used for this nail art are '#809' '#850' and '#21' from Hema and 'Party Time Blue' by NYC

the #21 from Hema is a blacklight activated polish. And I thought I could create some effects using this nailpolish...

 

Have fun painting and creating
