NOTD: Christmas Comet

This are the nails I had during this Christmas.

I applied a red polish as a base, then I added some silver stripes and glitter. To end the design I added some silver stars.

{in the pictures my hands are wet...!}

As a bonus some pics of my Christmas!

This are only the appetizers!! Yummy!!!

NOTD: Sparkly Silver

After doing my NANA nails I remembered my New Year's Eve nails and I decided to try a little different version.

This mani too can be perfect for New Year's Eve parties!!

I applied basic no° 41 + Deborah Shine TECH no° 22 on my thumbs, on my left middle finger and on my right ring finger. I applied Wet 'n' Wild Dream Black Metallic on all the other nails.

Then on the silver nails I added some multi-colored sequins.

After School's NANA Nails

NANA (real name Im Jin Ah) is a Korean singer member of the group After School and the group sub-unit Orange Caramel with fellow members Reina and Lizzy.

I really like her and after looking at some of her pictures I tried to recreate her nails.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Nana had this nails in the pictures of Orange Caramel first mini album "Magic Girl".

I didn't have a nail polish similar to the one in the pictures so I layered a light yellow polish and a nude one.

I'm not too fond of the result but if I find a better base color I might try this again.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

This mani come from some Orange Caramel group pictures.

In the pictures below the nails look really red while in real life they are more coral but still very bright.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

The pictures above are taken from Orange Caramel's second music video "A~ing♡".

Unfortunately the pictures aren't very clear so I changed the mani a little.

The base is pale pink and light blue like the nails Nana has in the video but I added little red hearts to match her socks.

If you have confidence in your skills you can draw the hearts with red polish and a dotting tool.

NOTD: Blue & Silver French

Very simple and easy. I love it!

The lines aren't perfect because it's been a while since I made a french manicure and I lost my skills.

I applied my base coat and made a french with silver polish. When it dried I made another french with blue polish. Then I applied a glitter polish and top coat.

Swatch: Deborah Shine TECH No. 22

(above camera flash - below natural light)

I really like silver polish and this one is no exception. In the pictures is two coats and there's VNL but I like the result. Good for layering.

Swatch: basic No. 41

(above camera flash - below natural light)

This little one is a real jewel. It a metallic silver, very opaque. In the picutre are two cats but it's actually a one coater. It's perfect for nail art too. I already bought a back up bottle since it's really small (5ml) and very cheap (€ 0.99).

Tutorial #029: Love Me

Yes, it's another Valentine's Day tutorial! Are you tired of them? It's just that I love to draw hearts and my sister got those cute little hearts for me and she wanted me to use them...

I promise that I will not make other Valentine's Day nail art! (I'm lying!!)

What you need: a thin brush, little red hearts.

• Black: DEBORAH Shine TECH No.30
• White: KIKO No.203
• Top Coat: KIKO No.03

How to:

1. Apply your base coat.
2. Apply a silver polish.
3. With a thin brush and some red polish draw an heart. Do the same on all the nails alterning red and black.
