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.

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.

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.

W.I.P Barely - OPI My Vampire is Buff - & Other Stories Whipcord Beige - Rimmel Bare Necessities

Paint Splash... Nail of the day!

Even though I have been very into Nails Inc. polishes this year, my love for OPI is still very much alive.

And these two are my new favourites.

Peace & Love.... Nail of the day!

This is probably the easiest form of nail art and also the one, I get the most compliments on.

It looks so much more complicated, than it really is - and isn't that just the best thing :-)

Things that I love... Nail of the day!

For this nail of day, I did a bit of every trend I'm loving right now.

So we got some texture, some dots, monochrome and of course a hint of neon.

Acid Rain... Nail of the day.

I love neon, and especially on the nails

Gold Feather... Nail of the day & Review of Nails Inc. Feather Polish!

Texture polishes are all the rave right now, and when I saw the feather polished from current favourite nail polish brand Nails Inc., I was very intrigued. 

So for this manicure, I combined the texture trend with the new simple dot trend.

Techno Colour..... Nail of the day!

I realised, that metallic and neon goes very well together.

And I really like the look of these nails.

They are so easy to do, and I got a lot of compliments on them.

Farewell the longest month ever!... January Beauty Favourites!

I know, that people say, that they can't believe another month had gone by, when they do their monthly favourites.

This was not the case for me and January!

So I can't wait for a short and hopefully more eventful February :-)

But I still manage to gather quite a amount of favourites - a few new ones and a lot of rediscoveries.

Body Nordic Lovely Summer Body Oil Lotion:
This is a really nice lotion.
Sinks in really quickly, but still really hydrating.
Unfortunately this was only a small sample, and I have to many body lotion to justify buying another one right now.

A Nail Miracle?... Review - OPI Nail Envy.

I have been dying to try the OPI Nail Envy for a long time, but I've always been put of my the price.

But when my brother asked me, what I wanted for Christmas, I wrote OPI Nail Envy as my top wish.

And he did good!

The Christmas Edition.... Christmas Nail, Face and Outfit!

As promised, here are my Christmas nail, face and outfit.

Hope you all had a great Christmas with lots of great food, presents and nice time with your family and friends.

Let get started!

Nails:

I did a dark blue base with a lot of dots in different Christmas colours.

Gold in the snow.... Nail of the day!

Some of the polishes I have gotten the last few months have quickly become some of my favourites.

This is the polishes I got from Beautybay.com (featured in my Pink Mushroom NOTD), but also the OPI Golden eye.

So I find myself reaching for them every time, I'm painting my nails.

I had an ombre look in mind for this look, but ended up with this :-)

Gettin' Festive... Nail of the day!

So with under two weeks to Christmas, I thought it was time to bring a little Christmas spirit so the nails:-)

I love these iridescence glitters, that change depending on the colour you add it onto.

Pink Mushroom... Nail of the day!

So one of my favourite beauty web shops Beautybay.com did a Black Friday sale, with 20 % of everything.

So I took this opportunity to get some nail polishes, I have been wanting for a while.

And when I got them, I of course had to try all of the right away!

So I created this look with the three polishes, I got.

Nails Inc Hampstead Garden - Orly Cotton Candy - OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

And I really love it!

I Spy... Nail of the day!

Matte polish is so last year - or is it?

These past months, I have seen the matte topcoat pop up everywhere again.

However in a new version, where a shiny topcoat is used to make different designs and create a 3D effect.

I have always loved the matte look, I think it looks very sophisticated.

And matte black with a metallic, is in my mind the perfect match!

So I tried this look, but jazzed with this shiny top coat design!

Street Art... Nail of the day and Review of Nails Inc Camden Lock Graffiti!

I have never tried any Nails Inc polishes, but always wanted to.

So when they came out with these new Graffiti Effect polishes, which I found quit interesting, I saw it as a good opportunity to try Nails Inc out!

Slutty Pumpkin...Halloween Nail of the day!

In Denmark Halloween is a quit new thing, and we don't really practise it, as we have another dress up holiday in February.

However Halloween parties are getting more popular.

But it will never be as in USA.

When I was 14, I was in Florida in the middle of October, and one of the things I remember were all the Halloween candy and decoration in the Supermarkets.

I hope, that sometime in the future I'll be able to spend Halloween in USA.

Until then I'll have to settle with these Halloween inspired nails.

Darkness falls... Nail of the day!

So I'm not much for the idea, that you can only wear dark (read depression) colours on your nails once autumn and winter comes.

As you will see, I go much more for the bright colours.

Because why not bring some brightness into the dark months.

However as I said in my last NOTD, sometimes I just feel like trying something different, and also I'm really trying to use my whole (very big) nail polish collection and this also includes the few dark colours in it.
