Wnb Ombre

Good morning! :) Thank you for all your comments! :h This is the mani I wore yesterday. I actually didn't expect that I'll have a presentation yesterday, but they called me on thursday that my presentation will be tommorow. I wasn't even ready because I though I'll have it next week so I didn't have time to change this mani I did the day before. :D I wanted to add something more, like stamping or glitter but I couldn't decide so I left it like this.

Presentation was so bad, well, I's feeling bad because public performing isn't my thing at all. I'd rather write another thesis than this. But of course you just have to have it so I's totally scared but those 15 minutes passed so fast. I think I told you I didn't like my study so I hope I'll continue my study on master's study program at Facutly of economics, we'll see in a few days. :e It's actually so annoying because I'm 22 years old and I still don't know what I'd love to do in my life... >.<

I had this idea of ombre in my head.. The darkest is in the middle and goes towards lightest in both ways. I like the idea, I like my mani too, but I think there's something missing. 

For this mani I used these polishes:

China Glaze - Empowerment

Maybelline NY - Ultra Violet

Essence - Mr. Big

 Here's the final result...  <3

Daylight

Sun

 Pinkie & Thumb: China Glaze - Empowerment / 2 coats

Ring & Pointer: Maybelline NY - Ultra Violet / 2 coats

Middle: Essence - Mr. Big / 2 coats

Not best pictures but you get the idea. :D I hope I'll post more often as before. I used to change my mani every other day, but now I'm so lazy so I keep my mani until it's totally ruined. :D We'll see. :$

I hope you're having a great weekend!

Xoxo,

Ombre Holo Manicure

Woooohooo, today was my first day at "job" and it was great. They're all super kind and sweet, so it was a really great day today. :) But I'm sooo tired, I didn't sleep long. I had lectures yesterday, yes professor showed up :D , so I got home very late. xo When I checked and did everything I had to, it was almost morning. :D But it's weeeeeekeeend, so I'll catch up that lost sleep. :D Some already right after I post this... :P

Today is time for ombre manicure. :e I wasn't even planning doing it, but it looks like an Ombre, right? :) I used all Catherine Arleys I have and here it is. :D

From pinkie to pointer:

666

804

675

670

Sun

Shade

You can see that 666 and 675 have strongest holographic effect, so bad I didn't took more pictures, that's why I have just one on the sun. :D I'm so happy to have them all. :L Which one is your favorite?

I wish you all a great and relaxing weekend! :h

Pink Ombre Manicure

I tried something new today, yaay! A few days ago I saw this super cute pink ombre manicure at Esmerald Sparkle and I fell in love with it - how couldn't if I adore pink! I had in plan to test my new Konad plate, but I had to try it on my own.

I watched a couple of videos on youtube and at Seventeen Magazin and I give it a try.

You can start with one color and add it white or black nail polish to lighten or to darken the shade, or you can pick 2 polishes and mixed them together. I picked the last version.

Nail Polishes I used was a Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Bubblegum Pink (a light bubble gum shimmer pink) and Conffeti - Vava Voom (a berry creme pink).

I mixed them on a piece of paper with a toothpick. First I add one drop of darker one in 3 drops of light one. I totally forgot that I need a clean brush so I had to do first step twice. And so on! On thumb I add Bubblegum pink and on pinkie Vava Voom.

This is how it looks like. Btw.. weather is still so bad, so it's really hard to take good pictures!


My ring and middle finger look almost the same, I should mix darker shade for my ring finger.

You should mix enough nail polish to add 2 coats on 2 nails, don't forget!

So, have you ever tried it? Do you like it? I'm sure I'll try it again but I think I'll choose one darker color and I'll lighten it with white.

Happy day!
