Nail Art - Rainbow Manicure

 

Hey dear readers, the world could use a little more sunshine today, I started the news and was not happy at all. In addition, it is raining heavily and cold here in the Netherlands, even though we are slowly moving towards spring. So yeah, we could use a rainbow! I was scrolling through my archive of posts and saw that I have never made rainbow nail art before. Shocked, I scrolled online for inspiration. Read on for more photos of this manicure.

Nail Art - Trippy Polka Dot

Good evening dear followers, a new day, new developments. And of course a new Nail Art. Where daily blogging used to be a challenge, it is now becoming an outlet. I am slowly getting better at using the materials, my camera works and this week I discovered fixed formats that work for me. And of course I scroll the internet looking for inspiration. This manicure was inspired by a tutorial I found online. But I gave it my own twist by using different colors and my own layout. Continue reading for more photos...

Hey dear followers, good morning! Hopefully you have a good Saturday. Today a new Nail Art and I have to say, I've got a taste for blogging again.

Today a new colorful geometric nail art for you 😊

Purple Moon & Stars Nail Art

Good morning everyone, today I’m back with a new Nail Art after all the swatches from last week. But it’s a design that I made with the same purple polish (Lavender Light, No. 153) from Rimmel London. You can find the full review and swatches of this polish in the previous post. This week was (again) so chaotic, but I have moved in my new place now and I actually had time to stock up on some new polishes for the blog. When I stopped blogging I threw away so many colors that were outdated or no longer usable. The white and black polishes from Sally Hansen that I found are a great addition. I'll tell you more about it in this post…

Hi Everyone! Today, it’s Valentine’s Day 😊 And what could be more fun than to share a cute pink creation with you guys. Starting blogging again turned out to be more complicated than expected.

Phew, it seemed like I had forgotten everything and really had to go back in time. Continue reading to find out how this nail art was made and what colors I used to create this manicure.
