#OMD3 - Day Twenty three - Flames !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

It's hot. It's really, really hot. My time of the year.

#OMD3 is pretty close to its end and I feel a bit sad about it. It's a great fun to be part of such an event and the best of all - every single day of July has its own theme so there's no place for wondering and seaching for inspiration. I just wish I've had more spare time to be able to recreate all the themes on my nails... Maybe next time.

So, today we have Flames around. I'm really satisfied how my flames turn out. And I'm even more satisfied how easy was to make draw them.

Now go. Enjoy the photos and feel the heat.

#OMD3 - Day Twenty - Jewels !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

This weekend was so short. The relaxing part - well, I've missed it. Why so? The princess is on vacation with my parents and that seems to be the perfect moment for a little make over of her room. But that's another story. The thing is I feel more tired this morning than I was at the end of the week. But I feel proud of myself and will be even more when everything in her room is ready. 

Back to the nails.

It's 20th of July so #OMD3 is here with the Jewels theme. And here we are - me and my Indian jewels.

#OMD3 - Day Eighteen - Love !!!!

  Hello, my lovelies....

  It's so hot today... no, no I'm not complaining at all. I like it that way and I will definitely feel better if there was just a little chance to keep these hot summer tempertures for the whole year. I've always knew the best living area for me is somewhere around Bahamas or why not Bali? Or at least Hawaii....

  Dreams, dreams.

  Back in reality.

 Yes, the summer is really really trully here. Also is Day 18 of #OMD3 - Love. 

  Sad but true I haven't found not a drop of inspiration with today's theme. No love around? No. There's love all around except on my nails. All my ideas were just a big fat blah. Your Red Frog is not satisfied this time. At least Hedonist was on my nails for the occasion - this was the only thing about the mani that cheer me up.     

  So, lovelies, feel the love/if you can find it somewhere around/.

#OMD3 - Day Fourteen - Fish !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

Prepare your hooks - fishes are comin'!

Yes, it's Day 14 of #OMD3 and we have fish theme to inspire us. I was thinking of fish skeletons for quite a while and finally their time has come. I'm a bit tired tonight and my writing skills are on vacation so you, my lovelies, will be kind enough to forgive my quicky post.

Just enjoy my fish skeletons.

#OMD3 - Day Eleven - Leaves !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

It's Day 11 from the #OMD3 Challenge and the theme of course is Leaves. 

I've wanted a clean almost graphic look but still colorful. Also I've wanted to use a color palette with some spicy vibes. And do you know what? I've spent almost an hour standing and staring in front of my polish rack wondering wich polishes are the best for the occasion. Finally I've ended choosing two of my frankens - both made in searching of the perfect mustard color. Poor guys are nameless. I'll try to manage this mistake until the post is done.

Now let's see the mani.

Floral nails for Oh Mon Dieu 3rd Edition.

 Pretty spicy fall look, ah? I'm in love with my leaves! Seems like my inspiration is coming back... Fingers crossed.
About the names - 
- Mustard Tart - light yellow with green undertone inspired by my favorite mustard of a local food brand - Olinessa
- Pumpkin sauce - earthy orange with kind of a smoky look - inspiration: one of my DjeepSeries mani needed a base color
So what do you think, lovelies? Like my leaves? I do. A lot.
See ya soon.

Don't forget to take a look at the Floral gallery -

#OMD3 - Day Ten - Floral !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

It's Day 10 of #OMD3 and we have Floral nails to be done. Well, I've made mine and the begining of the challenge just because I've wanted something feminine and a bit vintage at that moment. So the floral theme seemed to be a great decision. But as I mentioned few posts ago - I was in some a kind of a really bad luck period at that moment and all ends with a nail broken.

Here is my ruined Floral story - 

I've made my nails with so much pleasure and I really was satisfied at the end. I went to work, I've worked, I went shopping for dinner and Bang! - a sweet juicy melon decided to ruin my day at its end. I just wanted to put the rounded buddy in the bag but the stupid melon didn't wanted to do things right. One melon down - one nail down. What's done is done. But after all I've decided to show you my floral mani no matter one of the guys is missing.

 I can only say - my nails grow fast so in a couple of weeks I hope to enjoy the long clows again.

See ya, lovelies....

#OMD3 - Day Six - Polka Dot !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

Day 6 of #OMD3 is almost at its end/well, at our time zone of corse/. I've had a great expectations about the theme and its recreation. But as you can see from the photos no matter how great your expectations are the result is not always that great. At all. After all the ideas in my mind the end result is far far away from what I call 'nice looking' mani. My sponged base turn out too rough and the dots.... Well, the dots don't deserve to be commented.

All I can do is to say: 'Forgive me, OMD....'

#OMD3 - Day Four - Black and Gold !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

It's day 4 from the #OMD3 Challenge and we have black and gold to inspire us.

Few days ago I've told you about my awful days from the last week. The worst of all was my broken nail and this mani is the first with two buddies trimmed down. I just haven't got the balls to cut all my nails down. So from now on you'll see some strange shaped nails here - some long, some short but still your Red Frog's nails for sure.

Black&Gold on the way.

Enjoy.

#OMD3 - Day Three - Silver nails !!!!

Hello, my lovelies…

  It’s day 3 from the amazing #OMD3 Challenge and the theme is Silver nails. I think that’s the right time to say how much I love my A-England Excalibur. Again. And again. And again. I can keep on saying it forever – this silver gorgeousness is magnificent! It’s the right choice if you want to stamp, play with some water, alcohol or just paint your nails. Excalibur has great pigmentation, superb drying time and out of this world fantastic metallic finish.

  It won’t be fair if I don’t tell few words about Excalibur’s mate - Femme Fatale Fatal Attraction. I’ve got the chance to win this piece of art as part of a giveaway hosted by Meghan aka Will Paint Nails For Food while ago. You can take a look at her awesome blog here. She’s also the face behind Renaissance Cosmetics.

  So about Fatal Attraction – this, my lovelies, is the seduction itself closed on a little bottle of liquid - sexy, deep and rich shade of dark raspberry red filled with ultra intense holographic micro glitter. Perfection.

Now the photos.

And now let's see the roll -

#OMD3 - Day One - Teal nails !!!!

Hello, my lovelies….

It’s finally here! Oh Mon Dieu Nail Challenge 3 finally has started today! Happy 1^st of July, lovelies!

For those of you who don’t have a clue what the heck I’m talking about please feel welcome to take a look how the lovely  Jacqui aka Craftynail has explained it –

‘The OMD is a 31 day international nail art challenge with prizes.  For each of the 31 designs that you complete you earn a chance to win a prize in the end. You don’t have to participate every day in July, but the more days you enter the better your chance of winning a prize. You don’t have to be a blogger to participate either (instagram, facebook and other social media accounts qualify). The best part about the OMD? In August we’ll pick 5 random winners from different areas of the world who will win epic nail mail prizes! Don’t worry, our winners are picked at random. We don’t judge your nails.  Stay tuned for more info!   In mid-June we’ll post pics of the prizes and prompts.  All 31 prompts will be new and fresh for 2015- no repeats.  It’s going to be so fun!’

 
I’ll be honest with you, my lovelies – I won’t be able to enter all the 31 prompts but I promise to do my best. Now let's how my Teals came out.

 I'm really really happy with this mani. I've used some of my favorite techniques and polishes and finally the inspiration came back. I was pretty sure there will be no easy escape from the black hole I was in but/me like that kind of 'buts'/ ..... but here we go - a nice looking mixed and matched mani for the first day of Oh Mon Dieu Challange. 

If you, my lovelies, want to take part of the fun just add your mani to the reference page here.
