Put a dot on it… Nail Inspiration - Dot Manicures!

Spring is most officially here and somehow the lighter days and warmer weather always make me want to a bit extra with my nails.

Every nail-lover with respect for themselves need some dotting tools in their manicure set - this is the absolute easiest way to create an interesting manicure without the need for a huge amount of creative talents.

I got mine very cheap from eBay years ago and I often bring them out.

But a dot is not just a dot and the possibilities are many - here I will share my three favourite ways of doing a dot manicure.

New in Nails… My Autumn/Winter Nail Polish Additions!

As I mentioned before, I really try to limit myself to only 2-3 new polishes per season - I do however divide my nail year into four seasons.

I'm quite pleased with my Autumn/Winter picks for this year, even though some of them didn't really turn out to be, what I really wanted once on my nails.

Lets take a closer look at them.

Army Glam… Nail of the day!

Together with my break from the blog, I have also had quite a break from wearing nail polish.

But that also recently changed and I still really like the "creamy base polish with metallic tips" look, I liked in the spring (see my post about it here).

But I tried to do it a bit more autumn themed with an army green.

Two Toned… Spring/Summer Nail Inspiration Part III

Now as we have officially reached the Summer, I'm here with the last instalment in my nail inspiration series - this time with a very easy nail art, that I often get a lot of compliments on.

The nail art in question is a two toned ombre nail.

Light Sheen… Spring/Summer Nail Inspiration Part II

So I'm back with my next little instalment in my Spring/Summer nail inspiration series.

This one is another "shade" family - this time consisting of pale "metallics" or with a sheen, if you prefer.

Lets look at my little selection.

Muddy Mood… Spring/Summer Nail Inspiration Part I

I really try not let myself get carried away by all the beautiful nail polishes available, and only allow myself to get a maximum of five new polishes per season - and my new nail polish storage also helps with this, as I have very little spare room left in it.

This spring season I have actually limited it to three new polishes, however they all kind of fit in to the same family - consisting of more muted almost muddy shades.

However I have also been drawn to another shade-family as well as an easy nail art, so I'm doing this little series with the nail "trends", I have been and will be rocking this Spring/Summer.

But lets start with the "muddy" ones.

Techno Colour… NOTD - Ombre nail with Barry M Nude and Nails Inc Notting Hill Gate!

I have been so lazy with my nails these past months, but the other day I saw a small video on the Nails Inc Instagram, that gave me the inspiration for this easy nail art.

This one is great if you have shorter fingers and want to elongate your them without having to have long nails.

Just one dot… NOTD - Essie Splash of Grenadine with a dot of Formula X A Little Sexy!

This is probably the easiest way to amp up your manicure and you can use pretty much what ever colour combination you like.

New In Nails… Review - Nails Inc. re-packed and reformulated!

Nails Inc. recently changed their packaging and came out with some new collections.

Nail polish is my addition, so of cause, I had to get me some.

Cold Stone…. Nail of the Day!

For the whole month of January, I didn't wear anything on my nails - very unlike me.

So when I returned to my nail polish collection, I decided to do something a bit different.

I ended up with this kind of "stone"-like manicure, and I really liked it.

Winter Ombre…. Nail of the day!

I normally go for bright colours, when I do a ombre nail.

But I saw this picture somewhere with a nude ombre and got really inspired.

So I forwarding the inspiration to you guys.

Winter Wonder Nail - A Festive & Frosty NOTD!

Further to my last post on the Winter Wonder Eye Look, I decided to do a NOTD in the same theme.

Perfect for the season of festive gatherings.

Cold Nail… My Winter Nail Polish Picks!

Whether we like it or not, winter is here.

I'm normally not much for following seasons in terms of nail colour, however I have to admit, that I do get attracted by some different colours in the winter months.

So these are my four picks for winter nail polishes, and yes, it becomes very clear, what is my favourite nail polish brands :-)

Essie Wicked - Formula X Illusionary - Formula X Connectivity - Essie Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low

Pink Picks… Pink Nail Polish Edit!

Time for the pink bunch in my little nail polish edit series, that will soon come to an end.

I like pink polish, it is a very classic choice, but not my first one.

Formula X Brazen - Topshop Twilight Tease - Barry M Pink Flamingo - L'Oreal Rose Aphodisiac

The Nude Thrill… Nail of the day - Formula X Thrilling!

As I mentioned in my nude polish edit, when in doubt I go to a nude nail.

I got this polish after that post, but actually it is okay, because this one deserves its own post!

A thing such as a HG nude polish is a dream, but I actually think, I found it!

Golden Group… Golden Nail Polish Edit!

I think this one is quite an exciting mix.

All though they are not all obvious gold, every one have a such of something golden - hence the title.

Blue Bundle… Blue Nail Polish Edit!

Blue is actually my favourite colour - or lets change that to everything from a mid bright blue to dark navy is my favourite colour.

Despite of this blue is not a colour I normally go for in nail polish, however I did still manage to gather four I really like.

And it is a good mix of cream, metallic and glitter and a light and dark.

If There's a Nail God… Review/Rave - Sephora Formula X!

If there is a nail god out there, I'm sure he/she would be the one, that sent these my way.

I heard about this line, when they were first launched, but didn't really think much of it, as I was in the UK at that time, and didn't have access to Sephora anyway.

For a long time, after coming back to Denmark, I passed them up on my regular trips to Sephora.

However that was until one my absolute favourite Youtubers Essiebutton gave them the stamp of approval.

On my next trip to Sephora my eye fell on Over The Top, unfortunately it was sold out, and it turned out to be quite the hunt to get it - but I finally did, and I haven't looked back since.

Green Gathering… Green Nail Polish Edit!

So the time has come for the green nail polish selection, which is one of my favourite brights for summer.

This selection also include some new discoveries brand-wise, which I'm very exited about!

Sephora Formula X Over the Top - L'Oreal Wasabi Hint - Maybelline Mint For Life - Barry M Spring Green

Nude Numbers… Nude Nail Polish Edit!

So the time has come for the nude nail polish selection.

When ever I'm in doubt about, which colour to paint my nails, I go for nude.

This is my current nude favourites.
