40GNAI - Hot Pink + Zigzag

Hello, hello!

The blog post is late, but my mani was posted in the group on Facebook Friday, so I'm not completely late.

I had a beautiful weekend, so I didn't really have time/motivation to sit down and write a blog post.

Anyway! Onto the nails :)


 
For the mani, it was really simple, but I think cute. I used "Bye Felicia" from Trust Fund Beauty and then applied vinyls on three of my fingers (the thumb has chevrons too!)
 
 
"Bye Felicia" is such a gorgeous shade, I love it. It's vibrant in the sun and makes me so happy. I dunno why.
 
The chevron vinyls were from Nails Vinyls (I think).
 
That's it. Pretty simple, nothing much to add. Sooo. Yeah. I'll see you soon!
 
Happy polishing!

40GNAI- Music

Hello!

I haven't been "on time" much lately, always doing my prompt the day before Friday (or on Friday.......) that it feels weird now. We are Wednesday today. I did my prompt so early. Wow. The post won't go online until Friday, but still. You know? Wow. haha

Anyways! Today's prompt is Music! My music style is very... eclectic.. so I didn't know what to do. I chose finally something suuuuuuuuper simple and went with that instead of trying to do something over-the-top complicated. hehe.

 
I absolutely adore Ed Sheeran and decided to "honor" him with these nails (Simple, right?) I LOOVE his latest album and almost tried to write the titles on my nails, but too much haha.

 
I used High Roller from Pipe Dream Polish; the perfect green polish for this look. It is exactly the same shade as the album. Crazy, right?
 
So, yeah. Kept it simple but I love it. Do you like it? Do you like Ed Sheeran?
 
Happy polishing!

40GNAI - Neon + Waterfall

Hello, hello!

Today's what? Yup, yup. Time for another 40GNAI post!

The prompt was neon and my personal one was waterfall. I never did a waterfall mani in my life. I was not particularly attracted to them and I thought they were way to difficult to try. Well. I didn't really have a choice, so I tried.

I thought I could be clever and do a waterfall, like a real one. But it seems to much work haha. Maybe another time!

 
I used a black base (Out of the Darkness from Renaissance Cosmetics, sadly she's not making polishes anymore :( ), because I wanted to make the neons pop!

 
I, then, applied a guide for the half-moon (I'm kind of obsessed with half-moon mani lately..!) and with acrylic paint I roughly painted the waterfall.

 
After, I went over with the A Night In Vegas collection from Pipe Dream Polish in a rainbow order and then voilà! Not so bad looking, I think?
 
I hope you like it!
 
Happy polishing!

40GNAI - Florals

Hello, hello!

Finally Friday! Yay!

Well, for some, at least. I was "in vacation" for the week and damn it felt good. I don't want to go back to work Monday, ugh!

Today's prompt is floral and I thought it was the time to try again with the stamping! I am happy to report that this time, it worked per-fect-ly. YAAAS, finally!

 
For the base, I used "Vintage" from Orly, a gorgeous almost neon turquoise. (On the site, they say it's a green mint, but I dunno. It looks more a turquoise to me).  It looks washed off on my picture. I know.
 
It was easy to apply, a little bit on the streaky side on the first coat, but the second evened out everything. Be careful to not overdo it, because it is kind of thick.

 
And for the stamping I used a plate from BornPrettyStore and stamped with a clear jelly stamper (the main reason it was a successful attempt!!)
 
The nail art is pretty simple, but I hope you liked it!
 
Happy polishing!
