D for Dracula !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

Week ago I've decided to enter to MoYou London's nail art Bookworm Contest. And why not? Two of my favorite things getting together - books and nail art. I've choose Dracula by Bram Stoker for an inspiration - 

It seemed like the perfect one among all nine books MoYou have listed. But there was a catch ... the contest was running at Instagram. Where is the catch you will ask? Well, my lovelies, your Red Frog don't have an Instagram account. Sorry, didn't have - for the time when the contest has started. So Red Frog took her daughter's notepad and run straight to Instagram. And here we are - @redfrogscorner is alive! My account was there, my polishes too, I've choose the book. The next step was to paint my nails and to upload my photo. And here we go - D for Dracula.

Chevron for #NAILlinkup !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

It's time for the last #NAILlinkup theme for this month - Chevron. The whole month was a great fun and I just can't wait to see what we'll have in April.

My Chevrons are just a part of the whole design but they became a very good accent. At first I've tried to make a stamping decal with chevrons but they were a little nightmare. So I've used my good old acrylic paints to make my so called chevrons.

The two polishes from Rita Ora's collection by Rimmel seemed like the perfect duo for this mani. Both have pretty good application and look gorgeous next to each other. 

What do you think about my chevron mani, lovelies?

Draft Series:Printed Neon !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

Another post from the DraftSeries is on its way to you.

Wow. When I look at those rounded nails of mine on these old photos I can only wonder why the heck I didn't make them sharp earlier .... Stiletto shape gives me the chance to keep the lenght without my nails to look so damn Big.And the neon shade here doesn't help a lot for that Big impression .... My rounded nail, stay where you are - in the past!

Djeep Series vol.9 with Barielle !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

Djeep Series are back to life.

When I've figured out how long ago was the last post inspired of my Djeep lighters I tought it would be nice to choose more interesting lighter for the next post. And I was completely right about it! No matter the few hours I've spent to paint my nails the result is excellent... I'm really pleased with how this mani turn out.

First the base color - Barielle Aura Angora. This gorgeousness was in my wishlist for a very long time. Why so? The swatches around the web show it as a mustard yellow. I want a mustard yellow polish so bad. No reason why. Just want one. When my Barielle has arrived I've realized the color isn't even close to mustard yellow. Yes, I'm a bit dissapointed I guess. But the color in the bottle is really interesting so I don't feel sorry at all. So, when I've choose the lighter for this mani Aura Angora seemed like the perfect base color for it.

Now enjoy.

The Last Snowflakes with BornPrettyStore !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

Yep, I know the winter is gone. I know the spring is already here but it won't be fair not to show you my snowflakes - the last snowflakes for this year .... Hope so. I've made them few weeks ago and totally forgot about them. Why so? Well, the photos are not as I want them to be as you can see. Most of the times when I just throw something in the draft box it's because of the losy photos. Hate that moments. You give your best to create something beautiful but the sh!tty camera and the lack of good natural  light make all your work worthless .... Did I tell you how much I hate it?

But I won't give up. Maybe there will be more post with blurry photos. Maybe my nails, cuticles or else won't always look very pleasant .... who knows. I'll keep on trying to do my best.

To the last snowflakes please.

St.Patrick's Day for #NAILlinkup !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

Spring is officially here - it's March 21st! You can feel it in the air - that winter smoky smell outside is gone for good ... till next winter. The little marks of the spring are visible. Yesterday I've noticed some little tender green buds on the tree's twigs. Yey, new leaves are ready to show up. It's a matter of days to see how the newborn grass and the little flowers are springing up. Happy Red Frog.

#NAILlinkup is knocking on my door with the next theme - St.Patrick's Day. It's not one of my native holidays but I thought it would be a great fun to make something green and fresh to give myslef a bit more luck .... I really need more luck, believe me. So here I am with my St. Paddy's nail art -

Meet Manhattan:Purple Rain !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

I'm so excited!!! Forgive the big amount of photos in this post but I just LOVE how they turn out. Hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do. Now let's see what we have today .... Where is your umbrella? Purple rain is coming ....

Manhattan Collection Purple Rain - dark, seductive purple gorgeousness closed in just 7ml bottle of polish. You can see the extreme fine silver dust dancing in the bottle right? It gives the color unique depth and richness. I was almost sure Prince will jump out of the bottle when I open it.

Stunning ah?

The color is more on the wintery side of my palette but the vampy look it gives to my nails is so irresistible. Purple rain's formula is great - smooth, opaque and very easy to work with. Drying time is amazing - you need to work fast with the brush. I've put topcoat just because I always do. Well, maybe some more glossiness is always better. All the photos show two coats with a topcoat.

I've played a bit with some water and alcohol to create the marbled effect. It's always such a fun to make the well known water-marble mess. Manhattan polishes give a whole universe of possibilities for matching colors and finishes.

Sally Hansen:Wine Not, Starcrossed and Loden Green !!!!

* post kindly sponsored by parfimo.bg

Hello, my lovelies ....

Today I have another three Sally Hansen polishes for you. All three are from the Complete Salon Manicure line and represent the traditional finishes for nail polishes - creme, metalic and fine  holo glitter.

I've tried to make a simple also interesting design using just few pieces of scotch tape. That's a really good suggestion for the out of time moments when you want to fresh up your mani. The colors look good together because of the different finishes.

Hello, my lovelies ...

#NAILlinkup on time. 

Tonight gold is the theme and I can only say - Thank you! As a gold lover I'm around cloud seven with this week's theme. Only sorry for the lack of good light these days - my photos came a bit blurry and just don't give the real justice for this mani. 

Don't forget to take a look at all the manis girl did this week.

Draft Series:Africa !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

Seems like this is one of those Friday nights .... Just me, my bed, my soft warm blanket and the biggest cup of coffee I'd be able to drink without becoming an insomniac. Ugh. Sad story. Ok, the big black wet nose - my dog of course - is also here. Sorry, old girl, I didn't meant to ignore your presence. 

So why not to drink this huge cup of coffee with you, lovelies? Cheers and enjoy tonight's DraftSeries post - it's time for some warm colors in african style. I really loved how this mani turned out. Probably will give the design a second try just to see how it will look on my stilettos.

Meet Manhattan:Summer Tunes and Pink Opening !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

Still winter here. Still cold and snowy. Still thinking where is the spring? Why she's not here already?

In the past dull and freezing days I've found I feel better if I wear more bright and light colors. My mind is a very bizzare place I know....

So here are the newest citizens of my polish rack - Pink Opening and Summer Tunes from the latest Manhattan Collection.

Pink Opening - very very bright almost neon shade of pinky-sh coral. Suits great to all skin tones. You can find a hint of orange in it but it just makes the color more vibrant. Nothing special as a shade but me like it a lot.

Summer Tunes - great shade for teal/blue/green lovers. Extremely creamy polish BUT also stains nails extremely intensive. Even my two coats of base didn't help a lot. Sad. Sad. I hate seeing my nails in such a zombie shades when I took of my polish .... On the other hand I really love the color, the application and etc. but this stains just kill me.

No matter all I do enjoy playing with these two Manhattan babies. Both are finding a warm welcomimg on my polish rack and will definitely take part in my future nail art plans.

Now let take a look at some more photos.
