Disco pineapples

     Hello everyone! I couldn`t respect my promise, again! Now I`m in vacation with my parents, in Turkey.
Anyway, we all feel like home here so I can do my nails everytime I want. I bought some nail polishes from Flormar, Golden Rose, and Gabrini.

     The story happened like this. I decided to change my mani, and since I got some butterflies (skin) tatoos I wanted to transfer them onto my nails. I applied two coats of Flormar #420. It is an interesting yellow between a neon yellow and a pale yellow. After waiting for it to dry I cropped wings sections of the butterflies. Unfortunately, even the pieces of the butterflies were bigger for my nails.
     Just see it with your eyes!

     HUUUUUGE disaster! Thankfully, it could be removed. I spent 5 minutes with my hands in the sink rubbing this mess. It was gone and I still wanted to do some nail art.

     I stamped the pineapples from a Fauxnad plate (it is the same as the Konad one!).
 The colours I used are the Black Konad Special Polish and Flormar # 50.

     I can`t figure out why I can`t rotate the picture :(((

    Aaaaaand my mother said she didn`t know that the pineapples are black. I was thinking and thinking about what I can do when BOOOOOOOOM!!! The magic happened when I saw the jar full of gold sequins which I bought last night.


      I filled the free spaces with hexagonal sequins using a dotting tool and then I added a top coat. I really love the result <3 My nails are perfect for the beach, they even fit my swimming suit, and they blind me in the sun, lol.

Summery nailz

     I haven`t showed you my latest manicures because i was really bored (I am wondering how I could do my nails with such a boredom!).

      Here is my first try with Konad m83. I used two coats of an Golden Rose green, a darker "spring green", called 217. Then I stamped this ficus design with a 4 years old nail polish from Avon Mirror Shine, called "silver foil". It isn`t a foil nail polish and I don`t use it on my entire nail because there would be VNL. But it is perfect for stamping.


And a close-up



     I soonly got bored of it. Since I am in vacation I spend for about 2 hours making a tropical mani. I sponged 5 different polish to create the sunset gradient (a very messy procedure) and then I stamped black palms from a Fauxnad plate. The idea came from Diana`s Romantic Sunset <--click. Her nails are the easel where she paints amazing landscapes.
     On some nails the gradient wasn`t very smooth. I guess I`ll need more practise at sponge technique!



     What summer is that without cherries? At the beginnig I was really excited about this mani, but soonly I realized that I should have placed just one cherry design on each nail. I stamped them randomly and in some cases the cherries overlapped and everything was too loaded :(( Anyway, the color combination was refreshing.


    I used two coat of Flormar Supershine (mustard) Yellow #41 as a base, Flormar N007 for the leaves and Farmasi #45 for the cherries. The red was an old and thick nail polish, perfect for stamping.

    And the present manicure...

      I saw it first at Deniz <--click and I fell in love with this design. She is my role model! Also, her post convinced me to buy Konad m83. The only thing i changed is the black special polish. I am scared of the awful mess which Konad special polish creates at removing.

I am done now and I`ll try to post weekly.
