NAILS OF THE DAY: L'OREAL PARIS COLOR RICHE LE VERNIS NAIL POLISH IN CLICHE MANIA

It's been a while since I have painted my nails and boy does it feel good to sit down and play around with nail polish again. I love painting my nails, it's just something about it that I find very relaxing and therapeutic. Is that just me or do you feel the same way?

The color that I'm wearing on my nails today is called Cliche Mania and it's by the brand L'Oreal Paris. I received Cliche Mania in my July GLOSSYBOX, which was a collaboration between GLOSSYBOX and L'Oreal Paris. It's such a gorgeous purple that is a little on the darker side. I really like the formula and the pigmentation of these Color Riche Le Vernis nail polishes from L'Oreal Paris. They are so creamy and so easy to apply and they are almost always opaque in just two coats.

Autumn is right around the corner and Cliche Mania is the perfect nail color to go along with it. It's such a stunning purple that I know I will be reaching for a lot this season. I used the Formula X for Sephora Base Coat and Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat to complete this look.

NAILS OF THE DAY: BLUE & GLITTER

It's been a while since I have painted my nails, which is the reason why I haven't been posting any ''Nails Of The Day'' or any other nail related posts here on Makeup, Beauty & Fashion in a while. A couple of weeks ago, I played around with some of my new nail polishes from H&M and I decided to finally paint my nails again. I managed to snap a few photos of the look that I wore that day, which is exactly what I will be sharing with you guys in today's post.

I'm very happy with how the look turned out, I think it's such a cute combination for Spring and Summer. Now, let's go on and take a closer look at the nails! :-) 

 ♥ H&M Nail Polish in Blue & Glitter, (HERE).

♥ H&M Nail Polish in Blue & Glitter, (HERE).

After seeing both of these nail polishes swatched by Ida Malene from neglelakk.net, I immediately went on H&M's website and ordered them. They both come in a set with two other nail polishes in the pastel colored family, a pretty pink with gold shimmer and a cute yellow. I think the set is around $8, which is a nice deal for 4 nail polishes.

I really like how these two nail polishes look together, they compliment each other so well. Don't you think so too? I have a feeling that I will be rocking this particular combination a lot during this upcoming Spring and Summer! :-) 

What do you guys think about this nail look? Do you like the color combination? Are you a fan of pastel nail polishes for Spring and Summer? :-)

NAILS OF THE DAY: ESSIE LADY LIKE & FLORAL NAIL ART STICKERS FROM BORN PRETTY STORE

I have been wanting to paint my nails for a while now, but I have been so busy painting our kitchen that I just haven't had the time to sit down and do it. Now that I'm all done with our kitchen, I got more time to play around with some of my nail polishes and nail art items. 

My mom and I recently placed an order at Born Pretty Store. We picked up a bunch of really cool and fun nail art supplies. These pretty floral nail art stickers are a couple of the items that we ordered. I thought it would be fun to show you the design that I came up with, hope you like it! :-)

I think that these floral nail art stickers are so fun and quite unique. The design and the entire color scheme look beautiful together. I decided to pair the stickers with Essie's Lady Like, since I thought that it complimented the floral design beautifully. I added the nail stickers on both of my ring fingers, just to make it look a little more toned down and not so over the top.

I'm a huge fan of nail art stickers, they are so much fun to play around with. Born Pretty Store is my go-to website for everything that has to do with nail art. They have such a wide selection of designs to choose from and their prices are wonderful too. If you want me to start doing these nail art posts more often, please let me know in the comments down below and I will try to make it a more regular thing! :-)

What do you think about the design? Do you like to play around with nail art water decal stickers? :-) Love, Christine♥

NAILS OF THE DAY: JULEP NAIL COLOR IN ANITA

Happy Friday, how are you guys doing today? I hope that everyone is doing great and that you are enjoying you're day so far. Today's blog post is going to be all about the nails, because I have a brand new Nails Of The Day post to share with you.

On Monday, I shared my Sephora haul (check out the post, HERE) with you guys. In that haul, I featured the Julep Resort Collection, which is a cute little nail color set with three mini nail polishes and a top coat. Anita, the pretty purple nail polish is the reason why I really wanted to try out this set from Julep. Both Lani and Malia are pretty shades too, but there was just something about Anita that spoke to me and cought my attention immediately! :-)

This is actually my very first time trying out the brand Julep and so far I'm really enjoying it. Anita is such a stunning nail polish, it's definitely worth picking up if you are a fan off purples! :-)

What do you think about Julep's Nail Color in Anita? Would you wear it on you're nails? Have you tried Julep before? What nail polish are you currently wearing on you're nails? :-)

NAILS OF THE DAY: ESSIE NAIL LACQUER IN FIJI

Happy Friday! How are you guys doing today? I hope that you are having a wonderful day so far. Yesterday, I finally painted my nails for the first time in what feels like forever. I wanted to get this post up for you guys today and show you what I'm currently wearing on my nails! :-) 

♥ Essie Nail Lacquer in Fiji, HERE. 

I'm wearing Essie's Nail Lacquer in Fiji, which is a beautiful, creamy pale pink. It's a very simple, fresh and elegant shade, which goes with any look that you are sporting. It does take up to three coats for it to look completely opaque on my nails though, but it's so worth it in the end. Fiji is a shade that I always keep coming back to, whenever I'm not sure on what nail polish I want to wear. It has quickly become one off my favorite nail polishes from Essie! :-)

What do you think about Essie's Nail Lacquer in Fiji? Do you have it in your collection? What nail polish are you currently wearing on your nails? :-) Love, Christine♥

NAILS OF THE DAY: EASTER BUNNY

Hello guys, how are you all doing on this lovely Tuesday? Do you have any fun plans for Easter? Simon and I are spending our Easter with family and friends. We are also thinking about taking a day trip to Sweden for some snowmobile fun and maybe a little barbecuing in the sun. We'll see what we end up doing, we haven't made up our minds just yet!

Anyway, I have an Easter manicure to share with you guys today. I received these adorable nail art water decal stickers in the mail from Born Pretty Store. I wanted to create a cute Easter manicure using the stickers, and this is the final look that I came up with. I kept the design quite simple, because I didn't want to go totally overboard with the bunnies. But I still wanted to corporate the design and some lovely pastel shades into the look! :-) 

I like how this look turned out. It's not a difficult look to create either, which is awesome if your not good at creating your own nail art designs. I love playing around with nail stickers, because there are so many cute and cool designs and patterns to choose from. You can find the rabbit stickers, HERE.

We both want to go and see The Lego Movie, it looks really fun. Have you seen it yet? We'll see what we end up doing, nothing is final yet! 

It's been a while since I've played around with nail art! I wanted to put together a cute look for Valentine's Day. I fell in love with this beautiful look, so I wanted to re-create it and share it with guys. This is my very first time trying out nail art water decals, and so far I really like it. There are so many fun and cute designs to choose from, definitely want to get my hands on some more designs :-)

NAILS OF THE DAY: SERENDIPITY

Hey Everyone :-)
How are you guys doing on this lovely Friday? Do you have any plans for the weekend? I wanted to do a quick blog post and show you my Christmas manicure. I'm currently wearing Serendipity by Ciate on my nails, which is a gorgeous pink glitter nail polish. I have been wearing this shade since Christmas Eve, and I'm totally obsessed with it (check out my Ciate Mini Mani post HERE).

 ♥ Ciate Nail Polish in Serendipity.

♥ Ciate Nail Polish in Serendipity.

Serendipity is a limited edition shade, which was only available in the 2013 Ciate Mini Mani Month Advent Calendar. It's a really beautiful nail polish, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that Ciate will add it to their permanent line. Serendipity is a shade that I would wear all year round, not just during the holidays. Who doesn't like a pretty pink glitter manicure? I'm all for it! :-)

What do you think about Serendipity? Would you wear it? What nail polish are you wearing on your nails at the moment? :-) Love, Christine♥

Nails Of The Day: Fashionista In Love & Illamasqua Glitterati

Hey Everyone :-)
It feels like I haven't done a nail post in such a long time. I haven't been painting my nails a lot lately, so that's the reason why I have been a little quiet in the nail department lately. But I'm finally back with a brand new and fresh nail post for you guys today.

Since the Fall have officially arrived here in Norway, I wanted to go with a more darker nail polish shade for this upcoming week. I decided to go with In Love by the Fashionista brand, which is available at MUA Makeup Academy :-)

 ♥ Fashionista In Love & Illamasqua Glitterati.

♥ Fashionista In Love & Illamasqua Glitterati.

In Love is a beautiful deep purple, a perfect shade for the fall and winter months. I painted both of my ring fingers with Illamasqua's Nail Varnish called Glitterati, which I ordered from Sephora a while ago (check out my Sephora haul HERE.) Glitterati is a beautiful warm burgundy with multi-sized hexagonal holographic glitter. It's a real stunner! I really like how Glitterati and In Love looks paired together, they actually make a pretty good team :-)

What do you think about the look? Do you like how In Love and Glitterati looks paired together? Are you excited for the Fall? :-) Love, Christine♥

Nails Of The Day: Corals & Studs

Hey Lovelies :-)

How are you guys doing on this lovely Thursday? Today, I decided to try out Essie's Cute as a Button. It's been in my collection for a while, but I haven't used it. I guess I was saving it for the summer, which is finally here. I have seen a lot of studded nails around lately, so I decided to add some silver studs to this look as well.

I really like how this look turned out. It's such a cute look for the summer, and I think the studs make it a little more fun and it gives the look that extra little touch of cuteness. What do you think? :-)

What I'm Wearing:
OPI Original Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. Buy it HERE.

I decided to pair Fiji with these awesome leopard printed nail strips from China Glaze. Don't you just love how they look together? It's such a cute combination, and I think that the leopard print makes it look even more put together :-)

Hey Everyone :-) 

 Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so I thought I would show you this nail look that I created using my new ORLY nail lacquer in Lift The Veil.

♥ 3) Take the pink glitter nail polish of your choice, and apply it on top of the light pink shade that we first used. 

♥ 4) Finish of the look with the heart fimo sticks. Apply them on top of the pink glitter polish while it's still wet, and that's it :-)

Nails Of The Day: Bare To Wear & The Living Daylights

 ♥ Milani Bare To Wear & OPI The Living Daylights. 

Hey Beauties :)
Today I'm wearing Bare To Wear by Milani, and The Living Daylights from the OPI Skyfall Collection. Bare To Wear is one of my favorite nail polishes to wear, and I never get tired of the color. It's a beautiful greige, beige nail polish with a hint off purple to it.

I really like how Bare To Wear and The Living Daylights look together. As you probably know, I'm pretty obsessed with wearing glitter nail polishes on my ring fingers. I just love how a glitter polish can change up a simple shade, and make it pop and look more fun and girly. Adding a glitter nail polish, is a fun and easy way to be a little creative with your nail looks :)

Nails Of The Day: Bahama Mama

Hey Beauties :)

I have been really into darker nail polishes lately, and today I'm wearing Bahama Mama from Essie. Bahama Mama is a beautiful creamy, deep plum nail polish. It's very streaky on the first coat, but it gets better on the second coat. If you want your nails to look even, you definitely have to apply three coats.

Everytime I paint my nails, I use my favorite top coat which is Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. I love how glossy it makes my nails look, how it evens out any mistakes that I have made, and how quick it makes my nail polish dry. I absolutely love Bahama Mama, and it's a great choice for the Fall :)

What do you think about Bahama Mama? What are you guys wearing on your nails at the moment? Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Nails Of The Day: Below Deck

Hey everyone :)

Today, I'm wearing Below Deck by China Glaze. Below Deck is a beautiful, purpely grey nail polish with a cream finish. I'm obsessed with this nail polish at the moment. I love how easy it is to work with, and that it's opaque in only one coat. How amazing is that? This dark, purpely grey nail polish is a perfect color for the Fall :)

Which nail polish are you wearing on your nails at the moment? :) Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Nails Of The Day: Dress Me Up

Hey everyone :)
Today I'm wearing Dress Me Up by China Glaze. It's a beautiful dusty rose peach nail polish, which is right up my alley. Dress Me Up is part of China Glaze's Hunger Games collection, which was released a while ago. I really like this nail polish. The color is gorgeous, and I know I will be wearing it a lot during the Fall :)

Nails Of The Day: In Stitches & Ice Glitter

Hey everyone :)

Today, I decided to paint my nails with one of my newest nail polishes, In Stitches by Essie. In Stitches is a gorgeous, burgundy nail polish that just screams Fall to me. 

I'm in love with this shade, its a really beautiful shade for the Fall. I decided to paint my ring finger with Ice Glitter from NYX, for some extra sparkle and fun. I love how a little bit of glitter can change up the whole look and make it more fun and girly. Who doesn't love a little glitter and sparkle in their life? I can't get enough :)

Nails Of The Day: Bare To Wear & Waking Up In Vegas

Hey everyone :)
Today, I'm wearing Milani's Bare To Wear which is my favorite greige/beige nail polish. I decided to add Essence re-mix your style dance top coat in Waking Up In Vegas, for some extra girliness, sparkle and fun. I absolutely love how these two nail polishes look together, I can't stop staring at my nails, ha ha. What do you think? :)

I'm in love with this nail polish combination, isn't it pretty? I'm already obsessed with Waking Up In Vegas, just imagine how beautiful its going to look on top off a burgundy, deep blue or a dark purple? I can't wait to pair this with darker colors, its going to be the perfect combination for the Fall :) 

A huge thank you to the lovely Rhi from The Other Side Of Cool, for sending me the Essence top coat in Waking Up In Vegas. Thanks to her, I now have this beautiful top coat. This is my very first product from Essence and I'm already in love with it. I just wish that Essence was available here, because I have heard so many wonderful things about their products :)

I just painted my nails and I thought it was the perfect time to do a Nails Of The Day post and share them with you.

They deserve their own little holiday, don't you think so too? :)
