Musical Month: Big Big World

And the Musical Month continues with Niina's oldie but goldie: Emilia's Big Big World.
Congratulations to all of you, who received an instant earworm! :) I did!

I decided to go for a freehanded city landscape, because the music video is clearly filmed in New York – which is my favourite city EVER!!!
And, on some nails I decided to sponge on galaxy nails. World IS big, even bigger than NYC...

 The base in all the nails is Delush Polish Tonight's the Night. First coat was a disappointment, second coat a 'hmmm' – and the third coat pure awesomeness!! It really paid off to go through the first two!

Galaxy nails were made with Orly Opposites Attract, Revlon Parfumerie Autumn Spice, Kleancolor Holo Blue and random white polish.

Last but not least, go and see Janina's nails from the same theme!!

Happy Easter Nails!

Ok, I know that the Easter is not just about bunnies and birdies and chocolate,  (Don't get me wrong, my Easter is quite much about those three, especially chocolate...) but I couldn't resist the urge to do a super happy easter manicure.  Have a happy weekend, whether you celebrate Easter or not!

On the left hand I used:
two coats of SpaRitual Moss on all the nails
two coats of Lumene Summer Rain on ring & pointer
two coats of Kleancolor Green Holo on the middle finger.

On the right hand I used:
Orly Spark all over
Attitude Lemon Sherbet on the ring & pointer
Kleancolor Holo Yellow on the middle finger

To decorate, I:
Painted the grass and the chick with Moss & Spark
Added eyes with Mavala Black and White, beak with China Glaze Papaya Punch and footprints with Mavala Black.
Finally, I added some fimo slices to the right hand.

A Coat of Seche Vite, and I was happy. Sometimes it's indeed the small things that matter...

H - Hunt Me if You Can

My H polish in the ABC challenge is Essence Hunt Me if You Can. It's a great black shade with silver and multicolour shimmer. This is two easy coats.

For this cutesy-pie manicure I decided to combine two of the designs I've got on my Awesome Manicures board at Pinterest. Thank you Nailasaurus for the splatter idea and Kayono for the penguin!

To all fingers but the ring finger I did a splatter with Gosh Silver and Kleancolor Metallic Orange.

 The ring finger got a penguin design with the same colours. The penguin was really easy to make, please google for a tutorial and make your own!

On the thumb I made a tape manicure using Lacquistry Cosy Fire and OPI Pirouette My Whistle

And of course I had to matify with Essence Soft Touch topper.

By the way, Kleancolor Metallic Orange is almost a one coater and looks great on its own. Awesome quality for a dollar! It stained my gel nails a bit, though, so be careful with this one.

This manicure is one of my favourites for a long time. Plus it was fun to photograph it matified, without having to worry about reflections. This mani, especially the "who, me" penguin, made me smile many times, and I hope it did it for you, too! Sometimes, when your life is a mess, such a small thing can make a difference for a moment: a fun memory or, say, a penguin on your nails.
