Video Tutorial: Harlequin Hardware Manicure

Since I got so many lovely comments on this manicure I showed you here and I didn't really know if I should continue with tutorials or not, I decided to try it again. Same steps like the first time, I just changed a pink polish I used before.

Harlequin Hardware Manicure :L :
Daylight
Essence Nail Art - Protecting Base Coat
OPI - Sweet Heart / 2 coats
Sponging: OPI - Sweet Heart & Catrice - Princess for a Day
Essence - High Shine Top coat
Funky french: China Glaze - 2030 & Stripping Tape
Essie - Good to Go





You can also stop when you're done with sponging, I love how this kind of gradient looks like. :)

Let me know if you like the tutorial. :$

I'll keep it short and simple for today, thanks for reading! :h

Video Tutorial: Funky French with Tickle my Triangle & Dionisio

The other day was really sunny and I needed a quick manicure so I picked one of my favorite polish I own. I got this polish from Kvacka (thank you :h) and I still can't believe I finally own it. I'm talking about Tickle my Triangle from Kaleidoscope collection. I'm so happy I own this one and How about a Tumble.
Sun
I added 3 thin coats, it dries super fast and it looks gorgeous! Of course you have to take blurry pictures to capture rainbow but it's still way too beautiful in person. :L

Sun - blurry
China Glaze - Tickle my Triangle / 3 coats

Then I decided to experiment with my phone again so I tried to film how I usually do a funky french. I change an angle of filming so I hope you can see better. I use striping tape for any kind of french manicure, because it gives reall precise line on tips.

Only problem now was editing text, because I didn't realize it doesn't show up great because of the too bright lightning and white text isn't really visible.I could change it but it took almost 8 hours to upload on YouTube and I don't have patience to wait again. :/


And a picture...

Letme know what do you think about this video! As always, I would love to hear your feedback! :h Thanks for reading!

Holo Funky French

Wooooooooohoooo, we've reached 800 followers. :party Thank you! <3 Seeing the number rising is just amazing feeling. :$ I never expected to have so many followers so this is really a happy day. :D

I wanted to post this yesterday, but I change my mind, because after watching US Open finals with Đoković vs. Nadal, I's sooo sleepy. Seriously, they have played for more than 4 hours and I's already tired of watching them but they didn't seem to be tired at all. o_O Champs! 8) Congrats to Đoković for another great win! :star

Anyway, I had some bad pictures on the sun yesterday, because it's cloudy most of the day. When I saw sun I run out to capture some pictures, but they weren't that great as I wanted. So I took them today again. :L How bad would it be if I couldn't take pictures of this mani on the sun? Holos aren't that special on daylight as on sun. :/

I decided to make Funky French again to make my holo mani more complete. I probably don't have to say what I used for tips, right? :)


Sun
Daylight
Pinkie & Thumb: China Glaze - IDK / 2 coats + China Glaze - 2NITE / 1 coat
Ring: China Glaze - LOL / 2 coats + China Glaze - QT / 1 coat
Middle: China Glaze - QT / 2 coats + China Glaze - LOL / 1 coat
Pointer: China Glaze - 2NITE / 2 coats + China Glaze - IDK / 1 coat
Beauty Secrets Top Coat 

What do you think? It's such a playful mani. <3 Do you like funky french tips?

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Teeez! - Smooth & Outta Control

I got Teeez! polishes a while ago from lovely Martje (oh I really want to eat that cake, yum! xP ) and I didn't have time to try them till yesterday. Every time I see name Teeez! it makes me scream like Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. :O Weirdo. :i
I didn't know how to try all 3 of them that would look great too, so I used just 2 for now. :D Outta control is a violet one and Smooth the pink one. Their application is really smooth, I added 2 coats, it dries fast. It looked so boring when I painted these two so I freehanded funky french and made it little bit more interesting and a layer of TC to smooth the lines. Holographic effect definitely is there, less on pictures but more in person.

I couldn't pick just 2 pictures so here's a tiny picture spam. :)

More after a click. :)

Easter Funky French Skittles

I wasn't planning doing an Easter manicure but I remembered how much I liked Funky French Skittles at The Polished Perfecionist so for my Easter manicure I decided to make something like she did. I wish my nails were longer so the french tip'd be longer but anyway, I must say I like it a lot!

It's so colorful, just like chocolate eggs I'm eating right now *yummi* so it's perfect for Easter too. :P

Sun
Daylight
 From thumb to pinkie:
China Glaze - Light as Air & China Glaze - Spontaneous
China Glaze - Agent Lavender & Essence - Forget-Me-Not
China Glaze - Secret Peri-wink-le & H&M - Blue My Mind

I used 2 coats of each polish, even for the french tip. All polishes are creme, just Forget-Me-Not has secret shimmer. :i It's so fun to make it and combine different colors. :i It's quite hard for me to find a matching blue, since I don't own a lot of blues (I've to change that :$ ). Colors are most accurate on last picture. :) Just Essie - Van D'Go became more orange after putting one layer of TC, weird. xo

That's all for today! :)

Take care,
Ivana :k
