Springtime!

Omnomnomnom, best salad ❤

Finally itś spring! And the snow is melting fast, because it´s been raining for a week i think.

Last week we had little girls night out~

And we made tortillas, painted nails and talked girly stuff. We also laughed ourselves to death because of this.

My nails

For Jenni~

For Samira~

Oh and there was also The Devin Townsend gig in Kaapelitehdas last week ♫♪ Btw Devin is releasing two new albums this year! "Ghost" will be more chillout (it think) and "Deconstruction" will be more heavyer stuff~

Erm, my outfit for the gig. Note to myself - Don´t EVER wear those shoes for an event where you have to stand or walk for 5-6 hours! Took me three days to get the numbness off my toes :`D but luv spiderweb tights!

Oh yes, I have been getting some packages :3

Red leopard pattern pencil skirt~ Just ignore the crappy mirror.

Alchemy yewelry! Dragons with swarowski stone.

...and this is a little embarrassing, but I´ve always wanted this xD

But it´s sso pretty ;______; And with of course Swarowski stone. No other.

And for the things I did NOT get:

I lost a bid in Ebay for these.. On the last second ;___; These are Iron Fist - Siren Platform pumps, and they are not manufactured anymore!

Also the hottest leather jacket! This is a Trash and Vaudeville Motorcycle jacket. I would have bought it, but I have two trips abroad coming up in summer and autumn :3

Oh, I almost forgot! I bought the canon powershot s95 :D And woo ... such a difference.

Next time I´ll do a nailblog, I´ve been getting a LOT of nail stuff~

My first ever attempt on marble nails

Oh dear, why haven´t I found this method sooner?

I just happened to surf web one night and I ran into a picture that had marble nails on it and I´ve wanted to try this before, I don´t know why haven´t I! So first I was too exited and wanted to see how my colors fit together, so I cut pieces from a white shoebox and then I just tried out different colors :`D . One thing I did immidiately learn, if the other color is thicker, it will dominate on the end result!

All of the upper ones were my favorite :3

So, for my first try I desided to use pink and black~

The pink is Wild and Crazy - w 159 Carissa

and the Black is Inglot 953

First I put an O.P.I. base coat and a pink base coat on top of it.

Now I should probably explain how this works, since I don´t have pictures from the actual prosess. You take a glass or a bowl or anything you can put water into. The water must be same as the room temperature, otherwise the polishes don´t work. So, I dropped firstly a drop of pink in the water, then black, then pink, then black... etc. You keep adding as much as you want. Then you can take an orange stick and you can draw different shapes to the polish coating that is on the water. Then just look for a good spot and dip you´r finger (you can do as many as you please at a time) onto the water. Then take the orange stick (while keeping your finger in the water) and pull out all the polish that was left on the water. This is suggested because if you just dip your finger in and pull it out, you´ll end uo having two messy layers on your nails!

These are the results after dipping my fingers:

Also a view from the palm :D:D Pretty eh? I should also mention, that the cleaning up was actually the harderst part. Well, maybe not hard, but annoying. And next time, I´ll definitely try to use ducktape or something to cover up my fingers :D

But the end result after cleaning up?

Voila!

...Is neat! Pretty, no? I like all of them :3

Here is one tutorial from youtube. Btw my sounds are not working, so I have no idea if there is music or talking on the background. But here you can see how you can play with the shapes :)
