Where In The World Challenge: Romania

Hello lovelies and happy Sunday! Today is finally the day when I finish the Where In The World challenge. I'm not proud of myself because it took way more than I wanted it to take but I blame the lack of rules. I guess I just need a bit of a time guide if I wanna make a challenge work. Anyway, the last country of this challenge is my own, so I thought I would do a little special post today. The first of December is my country's national holiday and it also happens to be my birthday. I've always enjoyed having the day off for my birthday and people always joke that the fireworks are in fact for me. I decided to do a manicure with something that represents my country for me and I want to show you that Romania is so much more than vampires and Dracula. We have mountains, rivers and the sea. Beautiful landscapes that deserve to be seen and admired! I tried my best to depict that on my nails. 




I'm not that great at depicting landscapes or any kind of detailed things on my nails, so this is more of a simple representation of what I actually wanted to show you. It does however represent the image I have in my head when I think of my country. 


As a base for this manicure, I used Flormar 423, my go-to sky blue. Everything else is painted with acrylic paints and some nail art brushes. As simple as this may seem, it still took me about an hour to paint. I loved the result though so it was totally worth it! 


I hope you've enjoyed this post! I will show you my birthday manicure in tomorrow's Monday Blues post. If you want to see more Romanian scenery, you can check out this gallery or this website. You can also find other Romanian manicures in the links below!

  8. La Mulți Ani, Mihaela ! Felicitări pentru modul în care ai ales să descrii România ! Ți-a ieșit foarte frumos, arată ca și cum ai fi ales un tablou și l-ai micșorat în așa fel încât să se potrivescă dimensiunilor unghiilor tale. Să mai faci, că te pricepi, mai bine decât crezi !! :D

  13. Luckily I finished the challenge with this design. It wasn't hard, there are actually no rules about posting so I kept procrastinating for every theme. Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

  14. Multumesc mult, Oana, pentru mesajul frumos! Cam asta incercam sa fac, un fel de tablou. Altfel modelul e destul de simplu. Pe vremuri faceam mai mult freehand numai ca mi-am iesit din mana cu lipsa timpului. Sper sa pot recupera!
