Rainforest nails

Rainforest nails...a hard theme for somebody who hasn't the talent to draw trees and waterfalls. So I added some leaves, a frog and one ring finder, used this technique.

Paduri tropicale...o tema grea pentru cineva care nu are talent sa deseneze copacii si cascade. Asa ca am adaugat niste frunze, o broasca si pe inelar, am folosit tehnica de aici.

 

 

 

 

I used nail polish for the base and acrylics to draw.

Am folosit oja pentru baza si acrilice pentru a desena.

I hope you like my design.

Sper ca va place modelul meu.

All the best,
Anca

Autumn and Winter Nail Art Challenge: 6. Black & White

It is Friday already, I can believe summer is over and Monday I start school...how the time flied. Today I have a busy day, but I haven't forget about you so I have programed the manicures. This autumn and winter challenge is getting more interesting as the themes pas, for now we have black and white.

Este vineri deja, nu pot sa cred ca vara a trecut si ca luni incep scoala...cum a zburat timpul.  Astazi am o zi plina, dar nu am uitat de voi asa ca am programat manichiurile. Colaborarea aceasta devine din ce in ce mai interesanta de la o tema la alta, pentru astazi avem alb si negru.

 Ok...so I cheated a little bit, it is not white & black, but more a nude and black. I went for a french with striping tape and  one stroke flowers on the ring finger.

Bine....am trisat putin, nu este alb si negru, ci mai degraba nude si negru. Am mers pe un french cu benzi de nail art(le gasiti aici) si flori one stroke pe inelar.

 

 

 

 

 School just started so I though a sneakers design would be perfect.

Scoala abia a inceput asa ca m-am gandit ca un model cu tenisi ar fi perfect.

 

 

 Here are the themes/Acestea sunt temele: 

1.Last days of summer 

2. Back to school 

3. Autumn leaves 

4. Apples or grapes? 

5. Autumn Dots

What model do you like more?

Ce model va place mai mult?

All the best,

Saran wrap technique

I have seen a great tag for autumn and since I already had nails for a part of the tag I decided I would participate. I saw it on Rainbows in a jar and it is original to Elsa's blog. For the first theme green nails I had a quick tutorial on saran wrap technique, hope you will like it.

Am vazut un tag frumos de toamna si daca tot am unghiute pentru o o parte din tag am decis sa particip. L-am vazut la Rainbows in jar si este original de pe blogul Elsei.Pentru prima tema unghii verzi am un tutorial rapid pentru tehnica saran wrapm sper sa va placa.

Start with a base color, I used rapsodi 35C, a very dark green.

Incepeti cu o culoare de baza, am folosit rapsodi 35C, un verde foarte inchis.

You will need another color nail polish, I went for a lighter green, flormar supershine 49.

Veti avea nevoie de o oja in alta culoare, am mers pe un verde mai deschis, flormar supershine 49.

You will also need some foil that you will gather like this.

De asemenea veti avea nevoie de folie care sa o strangeti asa.

Apply a coat of the other polish and while the nail polish is still wet take the foil and lightly dab all over the nail until you are satisfied with how much of the base nail polish is visible.

Aplicati un strat de cealalta oja si cat timp este umeda luati folia si usor tamponati pe toata unghia pana ce sunteti multumita de cate de mult este vizibila oja de baza.

This is the result. Now is cleaning time, with a brush and some nail polish remover clean the nails. I applied a small rhinestone on each nail.

Acesta este rezultatul. Acum este vremea sa curatati, cu o pensula si niste dizolvant curatati unghiile. Am aplicat o mica pietricica pe fiecare unghie(le puteti gasi aici).

I also created the same effect, but with a golden nail polish(essence 03 a piece of forever).

Am creat acelasi effect, dar cu o oja aurie(essence 03 a piece of forever).

So these are the themes...I do not know how much I am going to be able to post makeups...

Acestea sunt temele...nu stiu cat de mult o sa pot posta machiaje....

What do you think about the tag or the tutorial?

Ce parere aveti despre tag sau despre tutorial?

All the best,

A walk in the park

Today was such a nice warm day, for a second I though it was summer again...so I took a walk in the park with my sister, just spent the time enjoying the nice weather and just talked. The other days I received some beautiful jewelry from Rings and Things and I thought I couldn't have a better time than today to show you.

Astazi a fost o zi frumoasa calduroasa, pentru o secunda am crezut ca e vara din nou...asa ca am mers la o plimbare in parc cu sora mea, am petrecut timpul bucurandu-ne de vreme frumoase si doar am vorbit. Zilele trecute am primit niste bijuterii frumoase de la Rings and Things si nu cred ca puteam nimeri o zi mai buna ca azi sa vi le arat.

 If you are sad and need something to cheer you up, then the  vintage message ring that spells Dream is perfect for you. I just love the type of jewelry that have a message and with a vintage look, so this is my kind of ring.

Daca sunteti cam trista si aveti nevoie sa va inveseliti putin, atunci inelul vintage cu mesaj care spune Dream este perfect pentru tine. Pur si simplu iubesc bijuteriile care au un mesaj si aspect vintage, de aceea este tipul meu de inel.

The bracelet is adjustable and has two skulls, each atthe end. The double skull bangle is a cute and rock bracelet that I really like and it is black and so shiny.

Bratara este ajustabila si are doua cranii, fiecare la un capat. Bratara dubla cu cranii este un accesoriu dragut si rock care imi place mult si este negru si stralucitor.

 The specs necklace  is the right accessory for a chic outfit and also for school, it is innocent and so cute. I always have been attracted by the minimalistic jewelry, simple and beautiful.

Colierul cu ochelari este accesoriul perfect pentru o tinuta chic sau chiar si pentru scoala, este inocent si dragut. Intotdeauna am fost atrasa de bijuteriile minimaliste, simple si frumoase.

 

 And now let's see them in action, because I took my sister with me, I thought I should introduce her to you and what better way then in an outfit wearing the jewelry from Rings and Things.

Si acum sa le vedem la actiune, pentru ca am fost cu sora mea, m-am gandit sa va o prezint si ce mod mai bun decat cu o tinuta care a accesorizat-o cu bijuteriile de la Rings and Things.

 

 I went for a more relaxed outfit this time, we had a long walk so I wanted to be comfortable, so I went for a simple combination, white shirt with a brown cardigan, jeans, sneakers and the necklace.

Am mers pentru o tinuta mai relaxata de data aceasta, aveam o plimbarea lunga asa ca m-am gandit sa fie confortabila, asa ca am ales o combinatie simpla, maieu alb cu un cardigan maro, blugi, tenisi si colierul.

What do you think about the outfit or the jewelry? In what combination would you wear them?
