Colorblock ft. Dots!

Hello, lacquered unicorns! Happy monday to all of you! I know how mondays may suck but I'm on finals and I'm kinda sad I won't be having another ugly monday hating school:( Anyways, today I bring you this nail art based on Polish You Pretty's nail art tutorial. I looooved these colors together + the girls at PYP are always bringing up some very cool nail art! They were the first blog I ever saw when I started doing nail art, and by starting I mean putting three dots at the corner of my nail and even that would come out wrong!! Hahaha but practice makes perfect and I'm still learning but here it is.



I followed the tutorial, except I didn't use stripe tape and freehanded straight lines instead. The tools I used were scotch tape (for the division), a small dotting tool and a small nail art brush.


The colors I used were Finger Paints Black Expressionism, China Glaze Shower Together and China Glaze Surreal Appeal. I loved the way these last two colors worked together and how beautiful they looked. A combo I'll def use in the future!


Here's an indoors shot with natural lightning, so you can see it better.


The color changes a lot, huh? I hoped you liked this mani, and I'll see you soon pretty pretty unicorns!

Love, Pam♥

Even More Holo!

Heeeello, pretty unicorns! Happy thursday! Smells like weekend on this spring air:)
Today I brought you this nail art I made that looked simply amazing! It's simple but it's beautiful and and attention seeker! Wearing this a lot of people asked about my mani and how I did it, even how I did the holo (?)... Some people don't even know that holo polish exists hahaha. Anyways here it is, my simple but not very subtle holo mani!





I used Color Club Blue Heaven and FingerPaints Shades of Dark and my top coat was Orly Sec 'N Dry.



I painted my accent nail with FingerPaints Shades Of Dark and the other nails with Color Club Blue Heaven. When my accent nail was dry I made the pattern using striping tape and then painted over it with Color Club Blue Heaven, then I immediately took off the striping tape using some tweezers and finally I added my top coat!


Of course my camera couldn't quite capture the beauty in this holo but it was truly amazing, I'm just in love with Color Club holos!!
I hope you liked this easy and simple nail art, see you soon!:)

Love, Pam♥

Blue Gradient + Glitter!

Good afternoon sexy unicorns!! How are you feeling today? I'm feeling kinda down, don't know why... And I said to myself "Hey girl! We should def post some old nail art today!" and I was like "Yeah! Great idea!" So here I am.
I made this some time ago and I think it was my very first complete gradient nail art (my first try was for Valentine's Day). Back then I was also so very excited about my new China Glaze acquisitions... Bling It On and Graffiti Glitter! So I decided to use one of them here. I had heard so many good things about that collection that as soon as it came out here I bought my favorites!!
Well, in the end this is how it ended up looking like:


I used Orly White Tips, China Glaze For Audrey and China Glaze Shower Together to make the gradient using a make-up sponge.


Then I added one coat of China Glaze Bling It On to make it look more interesting and complex. Bling It On is a black and blue glitter on a clear base and it's really amazing and beautiful!!
Btw, I'm soooooorry (once again) for the crappy quality but this is the best I could get. :( #CameraPhoneProblems:(


I hope you liked this, I'll see you soon beautiful creatures!:)

Love, Pam♥

Holo Craziness!!

Hello, sparkly unicorns! How have you been? I'm so sorry for disappearing, cause I always say I'll post often but then I don't. But I've got now, a loooot of old manis to show you:)
First I have this holo mani I made a while ago, when I was soooo happy for winter to be over and for all the pretty flowers to bloom. Cheesy? Well, I was really waiting for spring to come!! I also was very excited about these Color Club holos I got from Sally, I'd never used holos before and these were just WOW. So amazing!!! So easy to work with, and so stunning!! I couldn't stop looking at my hands!!

So I present to you Miss Bliss, a beautiful pink holo that I absolutely loved at first sight!



Under the sun this was stunning but even in the shade it looked beautiful and under artificial lights the holo was still visible!!
Now here is the mani I made with the two colors I got from Color Club (Miss Bliss & Blue Heaven).




I used two coats of Finger Paints Shades Of Dark and when it dried I taped my nails forming a V and a lightning on my ring finger, using a tutorial by Nailside that I can't find right now (maybe she erased it...?) Anyways, I used one coat of Blue Heaven and one coat of Miss Bliss on my ring finger for my left hand and for my right hand I inverted the colors. Then I top coated my design and DONE! :)
Here's a pic og these amazing bottles of holo madness!!


I swear as I type this I get excited about using those shades again cause they're truly beautiful!! I'd love to buy more holos from Color Club in a near future!
Well, magical unicorns I hoped you liked this post and I promise promise pinky promise to back soon! :)

Love, Pam♥

Dot Dot Stripe Dot

Hello, magical unicorns!! Happy easter to everyone!!! :D I hope you all are having a great time:) I'm going on vacation tomorrow, yaaaay! Anyways, today I have a mani I really loved when I wore it, a lot of people complimented on it and I enjoyed a lot doing it. Here it is.


I used Color Club Catwalk Queen and Color Club What A Drag for this simple but cute nail art. On my left hand I freehanded some stripes on my index and pinky and I painted some polka dots using a large dotting tool.


Then on my right han I painted a simple polka dots pattern using a small and a large dotting tool.


I really loved this mani! I hope you like it as much as I did:) Sorry about the quality of my crappy camera. Have lots of fun this holiday!:) See you all gorgeous unicorns soon.

Love, Pam♥

Good Ol' Nail Art

I know I'm a mess for taking so long for this post, but I'm presenting exams for different universities right now so I've been kinda busy:(
But, finally here is some nail art! This is actually what I wore this Valentine's Day (seems like ages ago). I'm not very fond of Valentine's Day so I decided I wouldn't do the typical in your face Valentine's nail art. Instead I used pink and purple! :) Here it is!




I used Revlon Impulsive, China Glaze Fifth Avenue and Color Club Wildflower.
I made a stencil with tape to do the heart gradient and used my nail art brush to draw the tiny hearts. I also used a sponge to do the gradients.



I liked it because it was subtle and not too cheesy:) Hope you liked it, and sorry for the delay! I promise to be back soon!
Love, Pam♥

Wannabe Leopard

Hey, guuuys!! :) How you doing? Happy wednesday, smells like a nice weekend! So, last week I went to a bar with some girl friends (it was a G.N.O.) and I wore a loose black blouse, nude pumps, and YES! Leopard print jeggings! And as the nail art  maniac I am, I decided to match my nails with my jeggings. BUT, I didn't have the exact nude for the background (I only have a greyish nude and a pink nude) so I went with Art Nouv-Yellow from Finger Paints. The result was a half giraffe half leopard animal. With the yellow background that I thought would be so much lighter, and the brown spots it was the perfect combo for a giraffe print, buuuut it had leopard spots instead... I still likes it a lot anyways, so here it is.


I used Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow, Finger Paints Black Expressionism and my dotting tool (sorry, but my brown polish has no label).


Sorry for the crappy photos:( It doesn't let me capture it correctly.


I did like it, and I actually wore for a loooong time, which in nail art world is five days. I've always loved doing leopard print nail art so maybe that's the reason why. I hope you liked it and I'll be back very soon. :)

Love, Pam♥
