Christmas nails #2 Red with golden glitter

There are some colors that are more "Christmas" than others, and I think those are green, red, white and gold. So this week I am wearing a red/pink with glitter in gold on top!

I first used two coats of Kiko Galactic no 277 Microglitter Cranberry.

It's a red/pink microglitter polish which probably would have needed 3 coats on its own (2 coats in the pic). In the bottle you can see a hint of microglitter in gold aswell, but just as in the purple Kiko Galactic, the gold disappears on the nail.

I then put e.l.f. Golden Godess on top, starting with one layer over the whole nail

Golden Godess is a glitter polish in gold in a clear base. It has both large and smaller glitter particles in it.

I then put one more layer from the middle of the nail to the tip, and then a last coat only on the last 1/3 of the nail, trying to make a gradient. These two pics with three coats.

The gradient didn't turn out as I hoped because of the larger glitter flakes, but I like the combination between the cranberry and gold, and it looks really festive!

Exam-done-slash-housewarming-party

Last Friday we had our exam, so that evening we were celebrating that it was over (for this time..!) and at the same time there was a housewarming party at our friends. Here are some pics from the night. I have promised to be nice when publishing the pics so I will (if you don't think so, just think of what kind of pictures I chose NOT to publish ;P ).

First a make-up pic. I used two golden eyeshadows from the H&M palette, IsaDora Fine Liner (liquid eyeliner ) and 2000 calories mascara in black from MaxFactor.

And now pics from the pre-pre party at Jennie&Hanna's, pre-party at Oskar & Co, and then from the bar PL13

Second Sunday in Advent

Last weekend Kasper and I went shopping Christmas presents. But we will have to contiunue next weekend, not even half way through! And no pictures of that since some of the people we bought for are reading my blog ;)

I also made Swedish lussebullar, which is a bun with saffron on it that is typical in Sweden during Advent and Christmas, read more here.

The dough

Lussebullar!

This week I will make pepparkakor (gingerbread).

This is my exciting day:

This is as exciting my as my day will get:

The sofa, studying, tea and julradio.se (Chistmas music streaming on the net)

And ofcourse company by Charlie the dog who is really supportive?

Today

The singer from the Swedish group Sugarplum fairy played in our school today during lunch break. I made a video with my mobile but you can't hear the sing because of everyone close to me talking.. Anyway, he is the little brother to one of the singers in Mando Diao (just FYI). You might have heard the song Sweet Jackie.

This is at Stortorget (The Big Square) in Helsingborg on my way home from school:

Giant chistmas tree

Hm you can't really see it, but they had put candles in the stairs under Kärnan that looked like a ribbon (you know one of those fight breast cancer or aids ones)

Other that that, I have just been studying.. Exam coming up on Friday! After that I will have my life back :)

Christmas nails #1: Candy canes

I thought of doing different Christmas designs for the nails during December and maybe so give some inspiration to someone?

This weekend I tried a new polish, Depend no 175. I was in the airport and was going to choose one of those girl magazines that's really contains the same; fashon, make-up and sex. But then there was one in which you got a nailpolish as a gift and so it wasn't that hard to choose! :D

Anyway, the polish is a red cream polish which covered in two coats and was very easy to apply. I then put some candy cane-stripes over in white and stamped some candy canes from plate m12 on the ringfingers.

Unfortunaly I was a bit to quick to apply the top coat so I got some smearing, but it can only be seen up close.

First Sunday in Advent

Yeah it was yesterday but anyway :)

BCN shopping, clothes and elf Desert Haze

And the last post about Barcelona for now! This time some shopping, clothes and nails from the trip:

I got a new watch from Kasper in the airport, by Pilgrim. And I bought this knitted top at Primark, but you have seen it before.

Clothes the first night.

Green dress with gold buttons from Gina tricot.

Black jacket from H&M.

Shoes from H&M.

This is the mani I wore for the graduation. I tried one of the new e.l.f. polishes called Desert Haze. It's a gray/nude cream polish with some brown it it. I used Pieces Morning Mist for stamping which is a gold/champange glitter I borrowed from Kaspers sister :)

Under lamp. Inside

The polish looks more like the picture to the right. Not at all that nude as in the left pic, but you can see the dotted stamping on that one! I used two coats but could have used one more.

Barcelooonaaa

And some more pictures.. I want to go back!

Charlie playing in the snow

Just because it's snowing, doesn't it mean that you can't play with your favourite ball! In fact, it's more fun if you can hide it under the snow and then dig it up again :)
