Textured 3-D Japanese nails featuring Zoya Pixie Dusts Dahlia and Arabella

I was really in the mood for some 3-D nails, so here they are :) I also got A LOT of new polishes and I wanted to try some of them.

Aveam chef rau de niste unghii 3-D, asa ca iata-le :) Am luat si O GRAMADA de oje noi si voiam sa incerc unele din ele.

Pink for 2015!

Hope you all spent a lovely Christmas :) A dear client of mine gave me some polishes she didn't use and they were all pink and lovely and they inspired me so much I decided I HAVE to use them in a manicure ASAP!

Sper ca ati petrecut un Craciun dragut :) O clienta scumpa de-a mea mi-a dat niste oje pe care nu le folosea si erau toate roz si dragute si m-au inspirat asa mult incat am decis ca TREBUIE sa le folosesc intr-o manichiura CAT DE CURAND!

Christmas gemstones

I know it is a bit early for a Christmas design but I had to do this on my nails so I can post an offer on my business page :) I am extremely pleased with how these turned out, considering it is the first time I make this kind of "gemstones" on my nails.

Stiu ca este putin cam devreme pentru un design de Craciun dar a trebuit sa mi-l fac pe unghii ca sa pot posta o oferta pe pagina afacerii mele :) Sunt extrem de incantata cum au iesit, avand in vedere ca este prima data cand imi fac acest gen de "pietre pretioase" pe unghii.

 

Butterfly Bliss

The manicure I'm currently wearing is very delicate, too delicate for my usual style but I really like it and I've been wanting to try this design since longtime ago.

Manichiura pe care o port acum este foarte delicata, prea delicata pentru stilul meu obisnuit dar chiar imi place si voiam sa incerc acest design de multa vreme.

Black and cream watercolour ambiguity/ Ambiguitate crem si negru cu acuarela

Hey girls, nice to see you! I am in love with the nails I created :D Hope you like them too!

Buna fetele, ma bucur sa va regasesc! Sunt indragostita de unghiile pe care le-am creat :D Sper sa iti placa si tie!

Fifty shades of gold glamorous summer manicure

I was out of town for a small holiday with my sister and I couldn't post on here :( Now it occured to me, why haven't I got someone to write a blog post for me?! Sometimes good ideas pass by me :(
The manicure I'm wearing at the moment is super elegant, glamorous and perfect for tanned skin or naturally darker skin tones. It features a gorgeous olive polish (Optical Illusion) from Spa Ritual which I've previously shown you here.

Am fost plecata din oras pentru o mica vacanta cu sora mea si nu am putut posta :( Acum mi-a venit ideea, de ce nu oi fi rugat pe cineva sa scrie o postare pentru mine?! Cateodata ideile bune trec pe langa mine :(
Manichiura pe care o port in acest moment este super eleganta, opulenta si perfecta pentru pielea bronzata sau inchisa natural. Are in componenta o oja oliv superba (Optical Illusion) de la Spa Ritual pe care ti-am aratat-o inainte aici.

The Alphabet Nail Art Challenge: F is for feminine!

Let's celebrate femininity! :D I was initially going for a gingham and flowers manicure but I screwed that up and now we've got gingham and bows! I actually like this version more.

Sa sarbatorim feminitatea! :D Voiam initial sa-mi fac model gingham si flori dar am facut o varza asa ca acum avem model gingham si fundite! Imi place aceasta versiune chiar mai mult.

The Alphabet Challenge: E is for electric!

I really love this challenge and I think I will be doing it until the end :D The theme is so flexible yet challenging (you have to find a word that starts with a certain letter and is translatable into nail art). If you're a blogger, you can do it too! Join our super friendly polish addicts Facebook group and ask how can you get in the Alphabet Challenge! It's super fun!

Ador aceasta provocare si cred ca o sa o fac pana la sfarsit :D Tema este asa flexibila si totodata te provoaca (trebuie sa gasesti un cuvant care sa inceapa cu o anumite litera si care se poate transpune in arta pe unghii). Daca esti blogger-ita, si tu o poti face! Intra in grupul nostru de obsedate de oje(he he) pe Facebook si intreaba cum poti intra in Alphabet Challenge! E super distractiv!

The word I chose for today is "electric" because I was super inspired by some transfer foils I recently got that look very electric :D

Cuvantul pe care l-am ales pentru azi este "electric" pentru ca am fost super inspirata de niste folii de transfer pe care mi le-am luat recent si care arata foarte electric :D

The Alphabet Challenge: D is for duckling!

First of all, I'd like to ask everybody to excuse me for posting this late! Sorry, girls :( Secondly, I only like the result on my right hand so only right hand photos :D
After trying to find a word that starts with "d" both in Romanian and English, I gave up and chose "duckling" (the word for it starts with "r" in Romanian) because I wanted to recreate a cute design featuring a rubber duckling I saw on an amazing nail artist's page.

Mai intai de toate, as vrea sa rog pe toata lumea sa ma scuze pentru ca am postat asa tarziu! Imi pare rau, fetelor :( Apoi, imi place doar rezultatul de pe mana mea dreapta asa ca numai poze cu mana dreapta :D
Dupa ce am incercat sa gasesc un cuvant care sa inceapa cu "d" si in romana, si in engleza, am renuntat si am ales "duckling" (boboc de rata) pentru ca am vrut sa recreez un design super dragut cu o ratusca de cauciuc pe care l-am vazut pe pagina unui nail artist genial.

Pastel 3D bling Japanese distressed nails! (tons of photos)

I finally have something to show you! :D My nails have grown a bit so that I can do more special designs on them <3 I am in LOVE with the manicure I'm currently wearing, I'm just hoping it will last as long as I planned!

In sfarsit am ceva sa-ti arat! :D Unghiile mi-au crescut putin astfel incat pot sa fac design-uri mai speciale pe ele <3 Sunt INDRAGOSTITA de manichiura pe care o port momentan, sper doar sa reziste cat am planuit eu!

Where is my pot of gold?

I missed Valentine's Day, I missed Mardi Gras, it would have been outrageous if I also missed Saint Patrick's Day! Better late than never! So, this week's design is inspired by this Irish holiday. Honestly, I've had this colour combination in my mind for quite some time but never got to actually do it on my nails. As you can see, a french manicure can be done successfully on any size nails.

Am ratat ziua Sfantului Valentin, am ratat Mardi Gras, ar fi fost culmea sa ratez si ziua Sfantului Patrick! Mai bine mai tarziu decat niciodata! Asa ca design-ul din aceasta saptamana este inspirat de aceasta sarbatoare irlandeza. Sincera sa fiu, am avut aceasta combinatie de culori in minte de ceva vreme dar n-am apucat sa o transpun pe unghii. Dupa cum vezi, o manichiura french poate fi facuta cu succes pe unghii de orice marime.

Hardcore gothic lolita nails!

Today I present you my first 2014 manicure :D I wanted to incorporate a black french into my design as there's been a long time since I last wore one. Then I thought I should make it more girly and interesting by adding some pink stuff. But then I wanted it to have a punk feeling and I added some studs. Thus, this manicure was born! :))

Azi iti prezint prima mea manichiura din 2014 :D Am vrut sa incorporez un french negru in design pentru ca a trecut multa vreme de cand am purtat unul. Apoi m-am gandit sa-l fac mai de fete si interesant adaugand chestii roz. Dar apoi am vrut sa aiba un aer mai punk si i-am adaugat niste tinte. Astfel incat, s-a nascut aceasta manichiura! :))

Liquid gold for New Year!/ Aur lichid pentru Anul Nou!

My manicure for New Year's Eve is simple but eye-catching :D I used gold transfer foil only. I was initially going to do a burgundy french manicure on top of the foil but then I decided against this idea as my nails are still very short. A gold and burgundy design would look amazing on long nails with the foil applied as a french and a burgundy thin smile line.

Manichiura mea pentru Revelion este simpla dar sigur va atrage priviri :D Am folosit doar folie de transfer aurie. Initial voiam sa fac o manichiura french visinie deasupra foliei dar apoi am decis impotriva acestei idei pentru ca unghiile mele sunt inca foarte scurte. Un design cu auriu si visiniu ar arata nemaipomenit pe unghii lungi cu folia aplicata ca french si o linie de zambet subtire, visinie.

My Christmas manicure!/ Manichiura mea de Craciun!

I love this manicure but I kind of feel I lost my hand because I didn't do my nails lately :( I hate how my right ring fingernail came out, the lines are so thick and ugly :( The design was partly inspired by Robin Moses.

Ador aceasta manichiura dar mi se pare ca mi-am cam pierdut mana pentru ca nu mi-am mai facut unghiile in ultima vreme :( Urasc cum a iesit unghia de la inelarul drept, liniile sunt asa groase si urate :( Design-ul a fost inspirat in parte de Robin Moses.

A new and optimistic beginning!/ Un inceput nou si optimist!

Cheers to a new beginning! :D I've cut my nails (more on that at the end of this post) and I don't feel sorry about it. I think long nails are special anyway but when your nails are short, you have to make them special! The manicure I'm currently wearing is inspired by two lovely nail art queens - Britney Tokyo and Lexi Martone (find her portfolio, blog and social media links on Lexi Martone).

Noroc pentru un inceput nou! :D Mi-am taiat unghiile (mai multe despre acest lucru la sfarsitul postarii) si nu-mi pare rau. Cred ca unghiile lungi sunt speciale oricum dar cand ai unghiile scurte, trebuie sa le faci speciale! Manichiura pe care o port in acest moment este inspirata de doua regine ale artei pe unghii - Britney Tokyo si Lexi Martone (gaseste-i portofoliul, blogul si link-urile catre retele sociale aici Lexi Martone).

On the beach & under the waves!

This is a very special nail art design I wore last summer. As you can tell, it is absolutely perfect for a seaside holiday! And it is easily achievable!
Excuse my horribly dry cuticles (yes, I once had dry cuticles too!!), back then I didn't use to moisturise them too often :P

Acesta este un design special pe care l-am purtat vara trecuta. Dupa cum iti poti da seama, este absolut perfect pentru o vacanta la mare! Si e si usor de facut!
Scuza-mi cuticulele oribil de uscate (da, si eu am avut cuticulele uscate odata!!), pe atunci nu obisnuiam sa le hidratez prea des :P

Summery flowery design :D

This week I was SUPER inspired!! And I am super delighted with the result :D This manicure screams summer holiday, I love it!

In aceasta saptamana am fost SUPER inspirata!! Si sunt super incantata de rezultat :D Aceasta manichiura tipa vacanta de vara, o ador!

Blue waters

Omg I love the manicure I'm currently wearing!!! I really felt like going for a foil design this week. And what could be better than a STUNNING blue foil that resembles the tropical ocean? :)) Nothing!

Omg ador manichiura pe care o port momentan!!! Chiar aveam chef de un design cu folii saptamana aceasta. Si ce poate fi mai bun decat o folie albastra DIVINA care seamana cu un ocean tropical? :)) Nimic!

Shiny orange + purple glitter half moon/ Portocaliu stralucitor + semilune din glitter mov

I don't remember how I got this manicure idea but I'm glad it happened. I am in love with my nails! Plus, this is the first time I've tried gel polish topcoat and it is awesome!! My nails have never been this luscious! <3

Nu-mi amintesc cum mi-a venit ideea aceasta de manichiura dar ma bucur ca s-a intamplat. Imi iubesc unghiile! In plus, aceasta e prima data cand am incercat topcoat semipermanent si este genial!! Unghiile mele n-au fost niciodata asa lucioase! <3

 

Romantic french manicure (suitable for bridesmaids)/ Manichiura french romantica (potrivita pentru domnisoare de onoare)

I am so excited to be showing you this manicure!!! This is a world premiere!!! My first white, almost classic french manicure! As I was telling you the other day, the manicure I did on Ana's nails (Skirtbike nails :D) inspired me so much that I decided to try a white french tip myself :D I also wanted to add some one stroke flowers and this is how it all came out:

Sunt asa entuziasmata sa-ti arat aceasta manichiura!!! E o premiera mondiala!!! Primul meu french alb, aproape clasic! Dupa cum iti spuneam zilele trecute, manichiura pe care i-am facut-o Anei (Skirtbike nails :D) m-a inspirat asa mult ca am decis sa incerc si eu un french alb :D Voiam de asemenea sa-i adaug niste floricele facute prin tehnica one stroke si asa a iesit totul:
