Crocodile skin manicure

   Hello, everyone!

   This crocodile nails are made with acrylic paints. At first I applied one coat of light mint polish as a base for this design. Then I added medium green colored blots with a nail art brush keeping small gaps between them. And to get the volume I added some dark green paint in every blot.

   

   Всем приветик!

   Этот крокодиловый дизайн выполнен акриловыми красками. Для начала, в качестве базы, я накрасила ногти светло-мятным лаком для ногтей. Затем акриловой краской более темного цвета я нарисовала пятна, оставляя между ними небольшие просветы. И для придания объема нанесла небольшие акценты темно-зеленой краской в каждое пятнышко.

Crazy summer nails

Watermelon

  

  Hello, girls! I've done these watermelon nails to get the "Watermelon lover" badge from Nailpolis. I like my thumb most of all ;)))

   Приветики! Эти арбузные ногти я сделала для Nailpolis, чтобы получить значок "Истинного любителя арбузиков". Большой палец мне нравится больше всего ;)))

Rowan nails

   Hello, ladies!

   I wanted today's nails to look like rowan branches but I'm not quite happy with the result. The more colores I added the worse it seemed to me :) 

   Nevertheless here are my rowan nails: 

   Хотела чтобы сегодняшний маникюр был похож на ветки рябины, но не очень то довольна результатом. Чем больше я добавляла в этот дизайн разных цветов, тем больше мне казалось, что что-то не то :)

   Тем не менее, вот то, что получилось:

This design is totally made with acrylic paints, except two coats of nude polish for a base. 

Рябина полностью нарисована акриловыми красками. Только для основы я использовала 2 слоя телесного лака.

TPC: Chochloma

   Colors of this month match the colors of traditional Russian ornament named "Chochloma". And I certainly thought about it and decided to give it a try :) 

   Actually the colors of chochloma is red, green and gold but I think that yellow is fine too :)

   This is how it looks when masters do it :)

   And the photos below are my interpretation:

Gathering berries

Tri Polish Challenge: Flowers and dots

Floral tips

This is my improvisation on the theme of Paulina's nails:

Nude base, sponged white tips to make an imperfect edges and roses painted with a striper brush.

Clothes on the line

I wanted to paint something funny :) And here are my "Clothes on the line":

I've painted them with acrylic paints.

Thumb is my favourite :))

Polka dot gradient mani

   Yesterday I went to Moscow to visit my sister. The day before I was busy all day, so I had only 20 minutes before Alina went to sleep to do my nails. And I thought - dots! What can be faster and easier? :) Just  two coats of my favourite nude polish, white and green dots and some glitters on the top. And the long night to dry it all :) 

   I think I did too many dots that I should but I still like this :-p ))

Butterfly wings

 

   Everything is fine but I've made a mistake. I didn't make the white base under the pattern so the colors are darker than I planned. Nevertheless I like the result :))
   I didn't know how to name this mani and I ended up with "the butterfly wings" :)
   I hope you'll like them.

3rd Wedding Anniversary

   Today is my and my husband Michael's third anniversary of wedding. And I surely decided to reflect this theme on my nails :)

   Here is the result of my long work :) 

   And this was my wedding bouquet which inspired me on this design:

And here is the photo of us just married and happy :)

Splatter manicure. First attempt

   I thought this color combination will look great. And I like the result :)).

This technique was quite easy although it needs a bit practice. The polish consistence should be quite thin for good splashes. These are my tools:

More flowers!

   It's -5 C outside. Where is spring? :(
   Instead of looking at the snow I've decided to look at my floral nails! This time I painted red tulips.
   What do you think of them? :))

Mimosa

   Mimosa is my favourite spring flower. I like its bright color which turns up my mood and its smell. This time I wanted to try to do my nails with acrylic paints. It was quite simple to use them. And I like how my nails look in the end of this process. Hope you enjoy them too.
