Pink Gellac Uncovered 7 Collection and Swatches

After realizing I have a full four collections from Pink Gellac waiting to be published I figured it is about time to get a few of them up on the blog. I like to publish them in the order I received them, so first up is the Uncovered 7 collection that came out in autumn. 


I am on Pink Gellac's press list so have been sent this collection. What I write about the polishes is of course my own thoughts.


First up is 329 Vanilla Cream, which I would describe as a very pleasant white, it has a bit of grey and yellow in it which makes it very wearable. What adds to that effect is that it's a jelly that builds up nicely. I am wearing three coats.

Next up is two coats of 330 Caramel Beige. This shade is not at all something I enjoy, it's like a beige with a lot of warm peachy tones. I think it doesn't go too well with my skin tone, but perhaps it's for someone else!

Now 331 Copper Gold is a lot more my style! I'm wearing two coats of this shade that consists of small flakes in reddish and gold tones. It looks quite duochrome in my pictures, which I don't see as much off on the swatch stick, but for sure a fun and wearable shade.

Next up is 332 Sangria Red and it really does its name justice. It's a deep wine red shade. I'm wearing two coats, which in the pictures feels a bit too little, but under normal light, it is perfectly adequate.

Last but definitely not least is 333 Oriental Spice which is the other really exciting shade in this collection, in my opinion. I'm wearing two coats, and its a dark red with shimmer in red and gold. The effect is rather a brownish red, but still with a lot of sparkle.

Dags att visa lite swatcher på en av de kollektioner från Pink Gellac som jag fått senaste halvåret. Det här är Uncovered 7, som kom ut i höstas.

Blue Ornamental Nails

Today's design is a simple stamped nail design. I don't stamp as often as I used to, but sometimes it's exactly what I need!

PÃ¥ svenska:
Idag blir det stämplade naglar på bloggen. Jag brukade stämpla rätt ofta för några år sen, men sen kom andra tekniker mellan, och nu på senaste så är det knappt att jag har målade naglar varje dag. Men ibland så! Jag har använt plattan MoYou Explorer 21 (stämplingsplatta framgår alltid av mina labels/taggar i inläggets slut om).

Fish Tail Manicure

Sitting here with freshly painted nails and figured it's time to update the blog! It's been a while, but who's keeping count?

Simple nail art Fish Tail Manicure
I've been gravitating towards the old type of nail art that was popular around ten(!!) years ago, so decided to do some fish tail nails a while ago. I enjoyed the fact that I could create bold nail art with just the regular brush from the bottle. If you're not familiar with this design, check out this simple tutorial from Lucy's Stash.

PÃ¥ svenska:
Jag har uppenbarligen inte den största motivationen att blogga för tillfället, men mina naglar är just nu snyggt nymÃ¥lade sÃ¥ tänkte jag fÃ¥r smida medan järnet är varmt! 

Jag har varit sugen pÃ¥ sÃ¥n nail art som var populär för kanske tio (!!) Ã¥r sedan, sÃ¥ gjorde mig en liten fläta pÃ¥ naglarna för ett tag sedan. Jag gillar den här tekniken dÃ¥ det blir väldigt grafiskt och tydlig nail art, men man behöver inga särskilda verktyg, bara den vanliga borsten i flaskan. Om du inte är bekant med denna design sÃ¥ finns det en utmärkt bild-tutorial hos Lucy's Stash.

Lace Style Nails

Spending a lazy Saturday at home, whiling away the hours on my tablet and practicing some drawing techniques.

The manicure I have to show today has been sitting in the vault for at least six months. I believe I wore this design last summer, and remember how the white lace got a bit discolored after eating some turmeric-heavy food with my fingers one night. That yellow would not come off!

I think I've been putting off showing this look because it's a bit more discreet than what I normally go for. I feel like these could've made great wedding nails which is a lot less colourful than my regular style. But I still enjoyed wearing this, so hopefully someone will enjoy seeing it!

PÃ¥ svenska:
Spenderar en lat lördag hemma och låter timmarna gå framför surfplattan samt med att öva skissteknik (jag går en jätterolig kurs i skissteknik på Karlstads universitet!).

Manikyren som jag visar upp kommer frÃ¥n förra sommaren, den har fÃ¥tt vila i arkivet ett tag. Jag minns att den vita spetsen blev helt missfärgad dÃ¥ jag Ã¥t nÃ¥gonting med massa gurkmeja med händerna en kväll. Den gula tonen var omöjlig att fÃ¥ bort! Jag tror att den här manikyren har blivit liggande dÃ¥ jag känner att den inte helt är min stil. Det känns mer som klassiska bröllopsnaglar än de mer färgglada fingrar jag brukar ha. Men jag tyckte ju samtidigt att det var snyggt, sÃ¥ hoppas att nÃ¥gon blir glad Ã¥t att se dessa!

Galaxy Nails

I just created a post with a design I already posted! That's how out of my nail game I am ^-^. The minute I published it, I realized I published the same look in August. Oops. So here I am, publishing a second post today, just to hide the mistake of the previous one.

Galaxy Nails
I was missing the type of nail art I used to do way back when, so sometime this autumn I decided to create some galaxy nails. I was sponging on polish forever, but love the shimmery depth of this design!

Polishes used: OPI Comet with a Twist, Zoya Mimi, Zoya Raven, Zoya Gilda, Estessimo Tins Color the Universe and Color Club Harp on it.


PÃ¥ svenska:
Jag publicerade nyss ett inlägg med en design jag redan publicerat. Oj då, har tydligen verkligen tappat stilen som bloggare! Precis när jag klickat på publicera såg jag att jag ju faktiskt redan fått ut den manikyren i augusti, så det var ju lite pinsamt. Skriver därför ett till inlägg idag, för att dölja detta faktum...

Jag kände mig lite nostalgisk för den typen av manikyrer jag brukade göra "förr i tiden" så i höstas gjorde jag faktiskt en galax-manikyr. Det var länge sen, eller hur? Satt typ hela kvällen och svampade på olika lack och älskar hur skimrigt och djupt det blev!

Abstract Blue Gel Nail Art Design

I've been in a bit of a nail- and blogging lull for the last year or so. I didn't think the pandemic would have such an effect on my interest in keeping my nails nice and colourful but turns out it did.

Abstract Blue Gel Nail Art Design
As I've been going back to the office a bit more since the last couple of weeks, I've also started to paint my nails more. Let's see if more blogging will come from it?

This design started out as something, and ended up as quite something else. I'm not sure what I think of it, but it's quite fun, so let's push Publish!

Polishes used: Pink Gellac 184 Rosy Pink, 145 Pink Gellac Gipsy Blue, Pink Gellac Touch Up Color Glam and Pink Gellac 317 Stark Sky Black.
These polishes have all previously been sent to me as press samples.


PÃ¥ svenska:
Jag har haft svårt att hitta motivationen till att både måla naglarna och blogga under det senaste året. Jag trodde inte att pandemin skulle ha den effekten på mina intressen men så var det visst. När det är bara S som ser hur naglarna ser ut, ja då var det inte lika roligt längre!

Men nu de senaste månaderna har jag kommit igång lite igen, vilket säkert hör samman med att jag också åker till kontoret mer regelbundet och även träffar lite vänner här och där.

Dagens design är lite svår att beskriva, vet inte direkt vad jag tänkte när jag började, men tror inte det var exakt det här jag föreställt mig. Men lite roligt är det väl i alla fall?
