Then & Now… a different NOTD

I saw a similar post on another nail blog some time ago, I’m sorry I cant remember which. And that made me look at some old photos from when I started blogging until today. And I must say i have improved my polishing skills.. quite a bit 😉 I can now make a fresh mani that is not all over my cuticles in about 5-10 minutes.. As to before it took me(If it were to be just a bit nice) about half to a full hour(maybe sometimes even more :o).

So lets see one of the first on the blog

This is if I have to say myself.. awful when i look at it now.. To much of my hand on the picture and polish all over the place.
Although I have never been that bad at putting it on I have never been anywhere near what I see on Scrangie, Vampy Varnish and all the other “pro nailers” out there. Have to be honest I couldn’t even figure out how they could make the manis so nice. Buuut somehow as I’m getting better at putting on polish it stays inside the lines.. so to speak 😉 I also used that trick of putting nailoil around the edges but it didn’t really work for me. So I just got a steadier hand which is nice now 😉

This I did yesterday in about 7-8 mins. (not counting the drying time ofc.)
Barry M – Limited Edition Pink (don’t really have a name I think)

So to conclude.. i guess practice makes perfect or at least better…. 😛
I would love to see some of starter pictures of the nailblogs out there.. Would be fun ;D

Other “fun” facts:

This was my nailcollection in march 2009
Not much there ^^

And this is all my polishes today September 2009
I made a little circle with my Barry M’s 😀 And i guess its not so hard to guess which color is my favorite 😉

And this is where i store them

The small polkadot bag can hold exactly 12 Barry M’s so i usually take that with me if im going somewhere for a longer period.
I know its not the worlds largest collection, but its so hard to find the good brands in Denmark, have to order them home from US and it can be so damn expensive. So i get my more expensive brands through Nailmail.se(this is such a great concept btw, subscription to nailpolish, sent in the mail to you.. whats not to love? :D).

I was a nail biter until very recently. 😮 ye I know shocking aint it? 😛 but somehow when I got more in to polish I just stopped.. have no idea how, guess having some pretty nails was more appealing to me then flossy short nails.

I cut my nail when I think they get to long. I don’t like too long nails… not on me at least.. maybe because I have so chubby fingers.. haha ;D

And I think thats enough with the facts 😛

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Blueish swatching…

..og har ik givet en lyd fra mig 🙁 Det er ikke engang fordi jeg har lavet noget.. fordi jeg har ikke været hverken i byen eller lign. Har været herhjemme på standby hvis mit job ringer 🙁 Så igår kørte jeg min kæreste til noget opvarmning inden de sku i byen og så kørte jeg forbi McD og fik en McFlurry og så lagde jeg mig ellers hjem på sofaen og så lidt tv og senere spillede jeg lige lidt computer også.

Nå men smider lidt negle på så det ik blir alt for kedeligt 😛 Jeg har lige haft denne på bloggen men har puttet mat lak over. Synes den er noget så fin 😉 Øverste billede er med alm. topcoat og de 4 nederste er med mat topcoat. Det er svært at se forskellen når billedet er med lys og blitz endda. Men IRL er der stor forskel 🙂 Har brugt Orly Mat Top Coat. Lak er Depend – 164

DN / NOTD // Depend – 058




Dejlig glimmerlak fra Depend. Der skal dog en del lag til. Det nederst billede er et enkelt lag hvor det øverste er omkring 3 lag.. Så vidt jeg husker 🙂 men skøn frisk farve til enhver festlig lejlighed.
