THE NAIL ART BORN BY ACCIDENT ~

I didn’t plan to do this nail art, I wanted to a more difficult one but didn’t succeed. So after hours trying to do a nail art, I was tired and just wanted to do a quick mani and this nail art is born lol. It was important to stay on the theme of winter even after a failure lol.

CHRISTMAS IN PINK ~

Each year, I always have to do a pink Christmas nail art. And often they turn out to be my favorite of the season. This one is for sure my favorite of Christmas 2022! Also this is the first time that I successfully do this candy cane swirl thing and it’s pretty good for a first time. There is still first times after all these years of nail art lol.

And of course, merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE ~

Another Christmas nail art! I’m like Mariah Carey as soon as December begins I'm like “it’s tiiiiime” to turn my nails into the festive mood.

I did a polar bear on my pointer fingernail, a plaid pattern on my middle fingernail, some snowflakes on my ring fingernail and a holly branch on my pinky fingernail. Multiple people thought that I did the plaid to pay a hommage to the Scottish kilt lol. Obviously not, it was for the Christmas sweaters lol.

CHRISTMAS AT DISNEYLAND TAKE TWO ~

In my last post, I explained that I redid my nails because I didn’t really like them. So here’s my other take for a Disney nail art with a touch of Christmas!

I did some biscuits and Mickey and Minnie gingerbread man. I do gingerbread man each year for Christmas but somehow I struggle each time lol.

CHRISTMAS AT DISNEYLAND ~

Without a transition... here’s a Christmas nail art lol. The last one I posted was a fall one. As soon as December begins, I turn my nails into the most Christmassy things possible lol.

Doing my nails in a Disney theme every time I go to the park is a tradition and doing my nails in a Disney Christmassy theme every time I go to the park in December is also becoming one lol. Going to the Disneyland during December is literally the definition of magic, I really love going there during this season. Tbh, this isn’t the mani I will have during my Disneyland escape because I already did another Disney mani lol. I didn’t like the Christmas tree so I redid the whole mani. No I'm not dramatic lol. I really took them off after only 2 days like I didn’t spend hours doing them. But I must say, I really like the Mickey Santa Claus.

DO NO CROSS - CRIME SCENE ~

NOBODY MOVE THERE’S BLOOD ON THE FLOOR AND I CAN’T FIND MY HEART... Happy Halloween! I’m back with a bloody nail art. I finally tested out the straw technique for the blood splashes. I purposely bought straws for this nail art lol, they were literally the success key.

I’m happy with the result. It was pretty tricky to do the silhouette, I probably did like 5 times lol.

THE TRADITIONAL DISNEY NAIL ART ~

Here’s an old nail art I did when I went to Disneyland Paris months ago. I always do Disney nail art when I go to the park. It's a sort of tradition for me. I love to match my nails with whatever theme or occasion is going on at the moment lol. It’s funny because I’m going (again) to Disneyland this week. I really like this nail art better than the one I did for Christmas

NOT BLACKPINK MORE LIKE BROWNPINK ~

I feel like this nail art especially the checkerboard reminds of some Kpop idols outfits. 

I don’t usually use brown for my nail art but I really like how this one turned out. The brown really goes well with pink. I like this design especially the heart. I already did heart like this one for other mani and I don’t get tired of it.

FUTURE NOSTALGIA IS THE NAME ~

Yesterday, Dua Lipa was at Paris for her Future Nostalgia Tour. I bought the ticket in 2019, the show was supposed to be in 2020... You already know what happened lol. So we waited 2 years for this concert and it was worth the wait! It’s probably the best concert I went to. 

For the concert, I wanted to do a manicure that Dua wore on her nails. She sometimes has beautiful nail art so I wanted to reproduce one of hers. Back in 2020, I saw this design that I really liked. I saved it for the concert (yeah 2 full years! lol).

THE ONE WITH A HATER ~

In my mind, this mani will forever be linked with a bad memory lol. A coworker made me understand that it wasn’t her fav among all the nail art I’ve done. I agree with her but I’m the only one who’s allowed to hate on my work lol. Other people have to admire and say that they’ve never seen anything like that before lol.

I think that it was the first time I used properly a long liner, it’s funny when you think that I’ve been doing my nails for more than 10 years. There is always first times I guess lol. Usually, I use a tiny detail brush but for this one the liner was more appropriate.
