Double Stamped Floral Nail Art

A simple stamping is this week's nail art design.

I wore Smitten Polish Terra Opal this week and then felt like decorating it a bit extra. I really like stamping when upgrading a plain colour after a few days wear! I picked out an older plate from MoYou, Pro 04, and stamped twice to create a bit of a shadow effect.

En enkel lite stämpling fÃ¥r bli veckans manikyr. Jag bar Smitten Polish Terra Opal i veckan och ville sen dekorera den lite mer, dÃ¥ är stämpling ett bra alternativ! Valde en gammal platta frÃ¥n MoYou, Pro 04, och sÃ¥ stämplade jag tvÃ¥ gÃ¥nger för att skapa lite skugg-effekt. 

Playful Hearts Nail Art

Another lovely July weekend is coming to an end. S is cooking dinner so I'm sneaking in a blog post.

I'm not sure where I got the inspiration for these dotted hearts but I'm very fond of the design. It feels playful and fun, exactly how you want your nails for summer. The hearts are made with nail polish and the dots with black acrylic paints.

Ännu en härlig julihelg är på väg mot sitt slut. S lagar middag så passar på att få upp veckans inlägg! Vet inte riktigt varifrån jag fick inspirationen för de här prickiga hjärtana men blev väldigt glad i designen. Kändes lekfullt och roligt, precis som man vill ha det på sommaren. Hjärtana är målade med lack och så är prickarna gjorda med svart akrylfärg.

Pink Gellac Uncovered 6 Collection Swatches

Today I have swatches of the latest collection from Pink Gellac, Uncovered 6. This collection consists of five soak off gel polishes, all in the neutral range but with great opacity. They have been sent to me for review, but that doesn't impact my opinions about the colours.

First up is Bridal Beige, number 294. This is the first of three quite similar off-whites in the collection (comparison at the very end of the post) and the one that leans most pink or maybe apricot. Covers in two coats.

Next up is Sky Grey, number 295, which to me is more blue than grey, but definitely a dusty blue. It has amazing opacity and covers in just one coat.

Thirdly we have Laced Cream, 296, which is a lot more yellow-toned compared to Bridal Beige. I definitely see the cream reference in the name! It also covered in two coats.

Lavender Grey (297) is the purple sister of Sky Grey. I would describe it as a slightly muted pastel purple and it gives full coverage in just one coat.

Finally the colour with the least appropriate name if you ask me. Porcelain Beige (298) is for me more of a greige tone, not at all how I imagine any porcelain to be coloured. It's a pleasing colour though, not quite beige, not quite grey. It covered in two coats.

For ease of comparison I have included also a quick shot of the five colours next to each other. Here you get a better idea of how pink Bridal beige is compared to Laced Cream for instance. Note that this picture features just one coat of each polish, without any top coat.

PÃ¥ svenska:
Dags för lite mer swatcher från mig, här är nya kollektionen Uncovered 6 från Pink Gellac. Kollektionen består av neutrala toner (tre är väldigt lika) men med mycket bra täckning, krävs 1-2 lager att få dessa jämna, även de ljusaste vita nyanserna!

Lacken har skickats till mig för att swatchas, men det jag skriver om lacken representerar förstås bara mina åsikter.

Dotted Gradient Nail Art

I had made an indoor schedule for this weekend after seeing the weather prognosis but the sun has been shining more or less throughout.
Dotted Gradient Nail Art
I guess rather more sun than predicted than the other way around...  But as I just received new wallpapers that I ordered for our guest room (a room the previous owner used as a baby room) and I didn't feel like postponing putting these up so yesterday we worked on that. It's amazing how quickly you can change the feeling of the room using wallpapers. We went from this wallpaper to this one.

The nails of the day are inspired by a print I found on Pinterest, with a dotted gradient that ended up being harder than I imagined to transfer to nail art. It was difficult to get the dots to really get more and more sparse on such a small canvas. I still like the effect though!

Jag hade planerat för inomhusprogram den här helgen på grund av den tråkiga väderleksprognosen men så har solen skinit mest hela tiden... Jaja, hellre fel åt det hållet. Har precis fått hem nya tapeter till vårt gästrum (som tidigare ägare haft som barnrum) och de ville jag inte alls vänta med så igår blev det tapetsering direkt. Häftigt hur snabbt man kan förändra ett rum med tapeter! Vi gick från denna tapet till denna.

Naglarna för dagen är inspirerade av något tryck jag hittat på Pinterest, med en prickig gradient som var svårare än jag trott att få till. Var svårt att få prickarna att verkligen bli färre och färre på en så liten yta. Effekten blev rätt bra i alla fall!

Wavy Stripes Nail Art

All of a sudden it's Monday again and time for another work week.
Wavy Stripes Nail Art with FUN Lacquer Moonlight Nocture
I'm having a later summer vacation in August this year and as the wind is howling outside I can't say that I regret that decision right now!

My nails of the day are a copy of a manicure I did a little over a year ago. I picked a slightly darker base but it's otherwise almost identical.

Helt plötsligt blev det måndag morgon igen och dags för ännu en jobbvecka. Jag har sen semester i år så jobbar juli ut. Just idag med hård blåst och knappa 20 grader känns det som att det inte gör så mycket ^-^.

Dagens naglar är en kopia av en manikyr jag gjorde för drygt ett år sedan. Valde lite mörkare bas men annars i princip identiskt.
