Turquoise and Feathers

Hello my lovelies! It's the first day of September, which for many people means the first day of fall. I, however, am not ready for summer to be over and since the fall equinox is only on the 22nd, we're going to pretend it's still summer. My nails are really short at the moment because they keep splitting and breaking, but I'm still wearing bright blue polish on them so it's all good. Today I want to show you an older manicure that has been sitting in my folders and I think deserves to be posted. Take a look!

Monday Blues: Tribal Contrast

Hello my lovelies! Today is definitely one of those Mondays that make you wanna crawl under a rock and wait for the day to end. I barely managed to survive work today and now I'm trying to relax a bit before going to the gym. Looking at pictures of nails and talking about them is definitely relaxing. So grab a cup of coffee or tea and take a look at some blue nails. Hope you like them!

Monday Blues: Desert Sand

Hello my lovelies! Long time no see! I promise that this time I am back for good. The reason I've been away this long was a huge exam that is an important milestone in my career as a doctor. I've been studying for this for months and months, to the point where I wasn't doing anything else. I even stopped doing nail art. This weekend, after weeks and weeks of wearing just a plain nail color on my nails, I did some nail art again. It seems that it's something that you don't forget so easily. I remembered how much fun it was to do and I think I'm gonna stick with it in the future. I also missed blogging so here I am! This is the first post exam manicure.

Monday Blues: Russian Flowers

Hello my lovelies! It's been a few weeks since I last posted a Monday Blues and I must apologize for that. The last weeks haven't been the best, but I'm not here to talk about sad stuff. I am here to talk about happy moments, namely a wedding. My best friend got married! Today I want to show you the manicure I wore for her wedding. It was inspired by the dress I chose, which can be found here. Here's what came out.

Monday Blues: Flower Caress

Hello my lovelies! I'm really sorry I took such a long break from posting. The last weeks have been really busy and stressful and I just didn't have the energy for blogging. Fortunately, we had a 5 day weekend in my country and I had the opportunity to get some rest. Today is still off and although I dread going back to work tomorrow, I managed to edit some pictures from last week so I can show them to you. I wore these nails for over a week until earlier today and I was really happy with how they looked. Simple and pretty as usual.

Monday Blues: Geometric Mermaid

Hello my lovelies! It's Monday again but this time the sun is actually shining. The rain we've had in the last week has made me feel quite down and I haven't been very productive. Hopefully today will be better. This weekend I got inspired to do some mermaid nails. I was absolutely sure that my huge stamping plate collection had at least one fish scale image but it turns out it doesn't. So I ended up using something similar but with a geometrical theme. I used some mermaid tail colors and this is what came out.

Monday Blues: Gradient Windows

Hello my lovelies! Sorry for skipping the last Monday Blues but it was a holiday in my country and I couldn't be bothered to do nail art and write a post. But this week I'm back and I'm happy that I survived the first day of the week. Monday is always hectic and stuff seems to be piling up on my to do list, so I do my best to keep calm and not get overwhelmed. It always helps if I have something nice on my nails. This week I did a gradient but instead of using it as a base I stamped it. Here's what came out!

Monday Blues: Spring Mood

Hello my lovelies! The past week hasn't looked like spring at all in my neck of the woods, so I was feeling kinda down the last few days. I decided to cheer myself up with some bright nails and I came up with something really simple but fun. Unfortunately my camera didn't like me much yesterday and the pictures came out a little funny looking. I hope you don't mind it much and will still enjoy the nails!

Monday Blues: Spring Tartan

Hello my lovelies! April is here! If you've been reading my blog for a while you know by now that I'm not a fan of the cold season. So naturally I'm very happy that spring has arrived. I went on the first bike ride of the season yesterday and I couldn't be happier. My nails are also spring appropriate of course. Take a look!

Monday Blues: Elegant Lace

Hello my lovelies! It's Monday again ant this time I won't skip my Monday Blues appointment. My nails are still recovering from what they suffered in the past weeks, so they are still very short. I will probably keep them short for a while because they are still weak. If you don't mind my nubs, I have an elegant manicure to show you this week. It's not very spring appropriate but I was in the mood for something like this. So here we go!

Monday Blues: Delicate Geometry

Hello my lovelies! It's not such a great Monday for me because I've been sick with the flu all weekend. Today I had to go to work even though I wasn't feeling very well, so I did my best to do my nails yesterday because they really needed it. I wasn't able to create something complicated so I did a simple stamping manicure over an a-england polish that is just gorgeous. Here's what came out.

Monday Blues: Cracked

Hello my lovelies! Is it just me or is Monday the busiest day of the week? I don't know hot it happens but I always have lots of stuff to do on Monday. Preparing this post is one of those things and I wouldn't miss it for the world. I know that everyone is doing only holiday related manicures these days but this week I decided to go for something a little different. I wanted to use one of my new p2 polishes that a friend got me from Germany a few weeks ago and I decided to pair it with some blue stamping. This is what came out.

Monday Blues: Clocks

Hello my lovelies! It's been a very eventful week for all of us and for me it ended with snow. Just last week I was complaining about autumn and then winter was upon us. I surely wasn't ready for even colder weather, not to mention shoveling snow. Only my nails were on point because I chose a color that is very winter appropriate. The white stamping on top almost looked like snowflakes from a distance. But they were actually clocks. Let's take a look!

Monday Blues: Creepy Eyes

Hello my lovelies! Happy Halloween! I don't usually celebrate this holiday since there's no real tradition for it in my country. Nobody goes trick-or-treating here, so there's no point in Halloween without candy. But I was in the mood to do some themed nails this year because I haven't done any in ages. I then realized that I have very few Halloween stamping plates, so I didn't have many options. I finally got inspired by the immensely talented Ohmygoshpolish to freehand some creepy eyes. Of course mine aren't as cool as her's because she used a magnetic polish but I still think they came out ok.

Monday Blues: Dreamology

Hello my lovelies! How's your Monday so far? I decided to have a long weekend so I took today off to catch up on my rest. I have a fun new stamping plate to show you today, along with the blue manicure that I created using it. There are quite a few Moyra plates in my collection, and I am very fond of them because they have beautiful and original designs for an affordable price. Not all my Moyra plates stamp perfectly (reviews here, here and here), but most of them are good quality and I think they've learned from their mistakes because the last ones I've purchased are top notch. The one I'm showing you today came out this year and I'm happy to report that I had no issues with it. Here's the manicure I created using it.

Monday Blues: Double Leaves

Hello my lovelies! It's been a crazy Monday for me, but at least I managed to get everything done. It's now almost dinner time and I plan to relax a bit, but not before I write this post for you. This weekend I went through my older pictures and realized I had a few unposted manicures. Most of them are not blue, but there is one that has a bit of blue in it. So in the interest of getting rid of my backlog, here's a double stamping I did a couple of months ago. My nails were very short then and I think this sparkly manicure looked perfect on them.

Monday Blues: Sweater Weather

Hello my lovelies! It's the first Monday in September, which means it's time to pull those fall clothes out of the closet. It's still pretty warm where I live though, so sweater weather has not arrived yet, but I have done a sweater pattern on my nails instead. Today has been a really long and busy day for me. It's also pretty late as I'm writing this and my energy level is very low, so I'll keep it short and sweet.

Monday Blues: Fancy Neon

Hello my lovelies! Another weekend has passed and it's time to get back to work again. I haven't slept too well last night so the first thing I did today after work is take a nap. Hopefully this week gets better once the Monday point has been surpassed. Today I have some stamping in an elegant manicure to show you. The name might look a bit odd at first, but I can assure you that one of the polishes has neon in its name. Let's take a look!

Monday Blues: Turquoise Tapestry

Hello my lovelies! After a rainy weekend comes a rainy Monday. I can't complain because at least the rain made the weather cool off a bit. To fight the gloominess that everybody is feeling today, I have created some bright summer nails using a polish that I really missed using. Here's what came out!

Review: Moyra Stamping Plates Part 3

Hello my lovelies! I guess summer is upon us since we've been getting extra hot weather with ocasional thunderstorms in the last days. I much prefer staying cool and out of the sun. Nail art is, of course, one of my favorite indoors activities. Today I'm gonna show you the rest of the Moyra stamping plates in my collection. I own 10 Moyra plates in total, and I've already reviewed 6 of them here and here. Now it's time for me to show you the remaining 4 plates. I'm gonna try showing them in order, starting with 05 Vintage.
