  1. Sweet mint gradient nails

    Pastel teal ombre manicure

    I created this manicure with only two nail polishes — pale blue (as seen on my thumb) and pastel green (as on my pinky). The rest of the colours were achieved by mixing these two nail polishes.

  2. Oh Christmas Nails

    Christmas Tree Manicure

    A very simple nail design for Christmas mood.

    To start off with, I painted my nails in a Christmas tree colour. I used matte top coat for a soft matte finish. For the accent nail I used clear rhinestones, gold square and star-shaped studs and coated it with a thick layer of glossy fast drying top coat.

  4. Blue and Green Ruffian Manicure

    Multicolour Magnetic Ruffian Nails

    This time I created a vibrant blue, green and lime Ruffian manicure (also known as reverse half-moon or reverse French). As a base for my nail design, I used metallic grey nail polish by W7. Although it may not be clearly seen in the pictures, the ‘smile’ at the beginning of each nail was made with the magnetic nail polish and a special magnet.

  5. Half Moon Lime and Brown Manicure

    Reverse french lime brown nails

    For this extremely unusual version of the half-moon manicure (also known as ‘reversed french mani’) I applied two coats of lime nail polish Barbara Daly — Zest. Then I carefully painted two coats of pastel brown lacquer by OPI — NL S46 Java Mauve-A, leaving the half-moons unpainted. It’s absolutely up to you which method do you prefer to achieve this effect. Since I find stickers kind of unreliable, I used a thin nail art brush to outline my half-moon curves, and then with an ordinary nail polish brush I painted my nails upwards from the outlines.

  6. Black Crackle on Green French Tips

    Craquelure black green french nail art

    I made this mani because I wanted to try out my new nail polishes: Color Club — Twiggie, Color Club — Wild Cactus and W7 — Earthquake Black. Since my gradient from pale to emerald green came out not very good, I had to cover it with black crackle nail polish by W7. Crackles came out even and fine, that I liked a lot.

  7. Geometric Green and Pink Design

    Geometric nail design with black rhinestones

    One of my favourite things about the Web is that this is the place where the inspiration comes from. Every time I surf the Internet, I discover more and more talented nail bloggers, but Madeline Poole is one of my favourite ones at all times. She specializes in simple shapes, geometric designs and gradients. Thus, today’s nail design was inspired by one of her most famous manicures. (more…)

  8. Pastel Spring Design

    Matte pastel nails

    Spring is coming! Easter holidays and good sunny mood have inspired me to create a soft pastel design with matte finish and some gold square studs. Also, this design reminds me of the Easter eggs. Happy holidays everyone! (more…)

  9. Lime and Pink French Manicure with Dots

    Hot pink and lime green nail design

    The reason why I made this design, because I really like the combination of hot pink and lime green. Especially shades by Barbara Daly — Zest and Think Pink work together very well. (more…)

  10. Cute Pastel Dots

    Pastel polka dots nail art

    Polka dots always look cute on nails, but in combination with pastel nail polishes — cuteness just overloads! You may have already noticed that the design of my website is full of polka dots. I made this in honor of my favourite nail design style. (more…)
