NOTD - O.P.I Blue my mind + Glitter Michigan

I've been completely obsessed with blues and glitters lately so today I went Aaall in hehe =) One of my Favorite royal blues is O.P.Is Blue my mind, it's sooo pretty. The only negative thing about it is that it's a bit sheer so you need 3 layers =/ It's a really old colour so the formula wasn't as great as O.P.I polishes today I guess (I have a few others from that time that I have the same problem with)..

Anyways, I used Emite Glitter in Michigan (my makeup school's glitter) on my ringfingers to ad some sparkle =)

I just love the look of deep royal blue on my (and anyones) nails, soooo pretty!

NOTD - Reflects Pearl Glitter

I've gotten more and more into glitter nails recently, it's so easy and fun and I actually get to use my many loose glitters =) One glitter I'm particularly in love with atm is MACs Reflects Pearl. It's a gorgeous white/pearl glitter, very finely milled and looks awesome on the nails. Because it is so finely milled it's a lot easier to work with than other glitters I think (at least on the nails).

When you use it on the nails it really creates a clean sofisticated look but still fun as it softly sparkles. I love this look and if you have Reflects Pearl inyour collection  really suggest you try it out on your nails =)

Loose glitter on nails...

I have quite a few cosmetics glitters at home just beacause I'm always drawn to them, they're so pretty, but when I buy them and get them home I use them maybe once or twice. So I thought I needed another way to use my glitters. ON MY NAILS!

Said and done =)

(Because I'm awful at being careful with my nails they have worn down a bit, I took a shower almost right after I was done with them = bad idea)

FACE Stockholm glitter in Galaxy

I went for a simple way to use the glitter, on my tips. So the first thing I did was paint my nails with a sheer nude colour just to get a prettier base than my normal pinky shiny brittle nails ^^

When that had dried completely I took a top coat and painted my tips. Starting with the thumb, than I dipped my thumb upsidedown in the glitter - then, gently padded down the glitter so it really stuck on the top coat, then on to the next finger. After the top coat and the glitter had dried I gently brushed away access glitter and then painted 2 coats of top coat over all my nails =)

I love the look of glitter tips. makes me feel like I've had them done by a proffesional but I haven't.

So If you're like me have loose glitters at home you just don't use that often, try using them on your nails =)

  

(make sure you let every layer of polish and topcoat dry, maybe let them dry even for an hour just to be safe)

NOTD - Starry sky

So lazy sunday, sundays are usually the days when I paint my nails cuz I just don't have the time or energy to do it other days.. And today I felt like doing some nail art (if you can call a gradient, art) with some blues and some glitter. I wanted my nails to look like a starry sky =) this is how it turned out:

I USED

O.P.I's Azure for Supre (light aqua blue)

China Glaze's Awaken (gunmetal grey) & Shooting stars (multicolour glitter)

Make up Store's Raven (dark dark blue) I think this one is actually discontinued =/

NOTD - MAC Mischievous Mint + polka dots

So first of all... I've hit the 100 follower "milestone" =) Thank you all of you! I've tried blogging so many times before but never really enjoyed it as much as I do now.. I'm really loving it =) I probably wouldn't as much if I didn't get as much nice feedback as I've been getting from you guys so thank you =)

Anyways.. On to my NOTD =)

This is one of my fave colours of all time allready and I've only had it for a few months.. But I was bored yesterday so i decided to do something a little extra with my nails but nothing too hard or extravagant =) So i decided to do polka dots on my ring fingers.. It's sooo easy to do.. just take a hair pin/tooth pick something small and pointy, and then pick up some polish and dot away =)
