Water decal tutorial

Two things that I have noticed:

- If you have problems getting your decal completely smooth blow with a hairdryer on the decal. While it's still warm you can gently smooth it out. 

- Make sure that all water is gone before you apply TC, also don't apply TC over the same area twice as it might smudge out the decal. 

Until next time, take care!

Enchanted Polish - February 2014

It finally arrived, about two months late! February 2014 from Enchanted Polish. February is a reddish purple with varm red coppery shimmer. I enjoy EP holos because they aren't as crazy holo as many other brands holos are. Another bonus is that they are really pigmented and February was no exception. I have one coat in the pictures and that is a big plus IMO.  

The formula was really nice, I've read that some thought it was too thick but mine wasn't. No need to add thinner. I applied TC and it didn't affect the rainbows. No sun in Lund today so the last two pictures are taken with flash :)

Until next time, take care!

Haul

Time for a haul post. I've been wanting to do one for quite a while but I always forget ^_^ But this time I actually remembered, YAY!

I was in Malmö today and had a few hours to kill. Hours to kill = shopping! I went to a store called Peggy Sage that my BFF have been talking a lot about. I bought a nail oil since I haven't had one for a while. I also got a buffer and a regular file. I actually just use glass files but this one had some awesome neon colours on it so I couldn't resist. I also got a polish, Green Illusion, that Pamsan swatched a while back. Her swatches are amazing and I think this might be the tenth polish that I've purchased only because of her gorgeous swatches. I also got a new clean-up brush from H&M and Helping Hands from Lush. 

When I got home I found these cute little nail decals from BPS waiting for me. I can't wait to try them out, I'm such a crazy dog lady.

But the best part of the day was realising that all these babies are mine!

Top row from L-R:

Good Fortune, Burnt Sugar, Melon Wine, The Bald and the Beautiful, Man in the Mirror, Bubblegum and Beautiful Creature.

Bottom row from L-R:

Rare Bear, Shy-Ann, It's Spring Somewhere, The Bald and the Beautiful, Beat It, Runt and Strega. 

Quite a few of these where actually swaps but I thought I'd add them to the picture anyway :) As some of you might know, I'm a real CbL-addict and I'm so glad that I got my hands on Bubblegum. I never thought that would happen.

Until next time, take care!

Girly Bits - Cosmic ocean layered over H&M - Jungle me

I love this combination! Green and blue are two of my favourite colours and I think that these two shades work great together. 

Jungle me is a grass green creme with micro flecks. I covered completely in two coats. Cosmic ocean is meant to be layered over another polish and I don't think it's possible to get it opaque on it's own. It's has a blue tinted base with duo chrome flecks that shift from green to blue. I have three coats of Cosmic ocean in the pictures. I finished the mani off with one coat of SV. 

I'm a big fan of layering polish and Cosmic ocean is gorgeous! Do you guys like layering polish?

Until next time, take care!

Stuff that live in my Helmer

There's not really to much to write about these pictures. This is some sort of "nail stuff that I take for granted"-post. I want this blog to be full of beautiful things that are nail polish and nail art related. I think that these things most certainly are. 

Until next time, take care!

Nail art Sunday - Sandy nail vinyls

It's oficial om obsessed with The Walking Dead! I hate zombies, and when I say hate I mean like panic attack hate. But earlier today I realised that me and my bf are in the middle of the second season... Say what!? 

Oh well, that doesn't really have anything to do with todays nail art Sunday does it? No theme today over at Le lack so I decided to do another vinyl manicure. I used two of the textured polishes from China Glaze sea goddess collection. Shell we dance, the darker pink, and Wish on a starfish, the lighter pink. I used bolt vinyls and I'm pretty pleased with the result.

I really recommend everyone to try vinyls out. They're easy to apply and the result is really fancy with sharp edges. Two thumbs up! I bought mine here if you want to try the same kind, but I bet there are loads of similar vinyls on ebay. 

Until next time, take care!
