#DressMyNails with Cocomelody vol.5 !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

As the summer has arrived and after all the spring rain probably lots of couples are running straight to their weddings... You know I'm not planning anything even close to this but that doesn't keep my mind away from the beauty and the thrill of the wedding plans. I just enjoy to watch all the wedding madness - from choosing the place to saying 'Yes' at the right moment.

So, in order to feel the thrill with those of you who attended to get married I've thought it's the right time for the next #DressMyNailsSeries post. Let's see the design and than we'll talk about the inspiration.

 My friends from Cocomelody have an amazing selection of wedding dresses on the store. You probably don't even know but they work with bunch of great designers who are able to turn your dreaming dress into reality. Just take a look at Ida Torez models and you'll understand my point -

 To be honest with you I've never thought that something like designer wedding gowns could inspire me that much. Looking at the elegant silhouette and the magnificent decoration I really start dreaming seeing myself in such a dress for at least half an hour..... Big girls have their dreams.

 When someone says couture wedding dresses we start thinking about smooth fabrics, priceless ornaments, gorgeous jewels and one of a kind final look. Just look at the photos! Can you imagine to see yourself wearing any of these masterpieces? I can. And I'm sure I'll enjoy it. 

There's always a way to look fabulous at one of the most important days in your life but when you wear the perfect dress your inner light will make you glow. 

Take a look at the store. Maybe Your dress is waiting for you and why not to get together? A small step is needed and the perfect one will fly to you. There's a sale at the moment and your dreaming dress can catch a free shipping flight straight home to you.

Me, Red Frog with Orly&Zoya !!!!

Hello, my lovelies….

Today’s mani is from the kind I like most – red and golden with bold decorations and contrast finishes. It’s screaming: Me, Red Frog! Time to time I grab my most favorite polishes and make something to indulge myself only. Most of the times people look shocked seeing my nails – too long, too decorated, too sharp, too... I don’t care. My nails are part of my individuality. Your Red Frog has long sharp nails and long bright red hair. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s not mandatory to like me. It will be great at least to accept me.

#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.

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.

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.

Sponge,Stamp and Love with Bornprettystore BP 21 !!!!

Hello,my lovelies....

Sunday afternoon is always lazy and sleepy for me.I'd like to spend it mostly in bed with a book and a hot cup of coffee or something beside me.Reading is not always possible because my little daughter is not a huge fan of 'reading-sleeping' version of me...Well,3rd grade is not that 'little' anymore if you ask her but of course that's another story.So,I like my Sunday afternoons.I was thinking that one will be the same but something made  it different - one single thought and all my plans went in a different direction.

Yesterday I've recieved a package from BornPrettyStore.The stamping plate inside was calling me.Till know I have only one attempt with stamping and I don't even remember was it good or not.It was so long ago.So the decision was made - I'll do my nails and then I'll get back to my Sunday schedule.BornPrettyStore's plate - BP 21 - deserves a part of my nap time  for sure.

Don't forget to take a look at BornPrettyStore's 'stamping nail' section .I'm sure you'll find more then you've expected.

My nails were ready for stamping.Yesterday I've made my first pretty good looking gradient with a make up sponge.

The dark vampy colors I've used were screaming to put some gold or copper around them.A full nail stamping with gold sounds really nice to me.I thought it would be easy....But for an amateur in stamping like me there's no such thing as easy stamping.No full nail stamped as you can see - only few sections of the choosen part of the stamping plate.Maybe next time it would be better who knows... with more practice...

Now let's take a look at the photos.I'm pretty satisfied with the result - the stamped image became more chaotic then I prefer but that makes the design more interesting,looks kind of egyptian ...At least I'd like it to be that way...Enjoy it,lovelies....

Final thoughts - BornPrettyStore' stamping plates have gorgeous designs for sure.The only thing I would change in my future stamping attempts will be the size of my stamper.My nails are quite too long for the stamper I have and there's no way to transfer a full nail design with it.

Now I know Sunday afternoon can be pleasant even without the bed'n'book part....On the other hand my nails are ready and I still have time to take a nap...
