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!

Mes ongles d'aujourd'hui

The polish is OPI – Brand new skates
This picture is like 6 mins. old 😛 oh and i have Orly Matte top coat on.
This picture is like 6 months old.

Today my nails are on english and my blog part is on danish 😛
But i will write this… Headline means: My nails today… as far as i can remember my french 😛 I think i will make a normal NOTD of this at some point. Yeah next time i have it on with a normal topcoat… deal? 🙂 And now after a 14 hour workday.. i will go to sleep.. Night night out there 🙂

?

Sidder her og stener… kan slet ikke fatte jeg har været på job i 14 timer i dag.. er helt forvirret i hovedet lige nu…. altid noget der venter mig to nattevagter = jeg kan sover fra i aften til i morgen eftermiddag kl.17…

Glæder mig til at se dyner.. godnat derude i blogverdenen..
overskriften betyder i øvrigt: Mine negle i dag 🙂 (så vidt mit skolefransk husker)

NOTD – Barry M – 302 / Fuchsia + bonus topcoat

This is a wonderful creamy color, a lot of Barry M is creamy. Makes it even better for me, since i love those 😛

I have lately begun to put on a topcoat from WetNWild, that i dont think is designed as a topcoat. But just as a polish for it self, but it is SUPER good as top coat cause it makes the polish super hard. I think that’s why it has the name Rock Solid ;D They write on the back of the polish: Infused with micro fine diamond flecks for rock solid strength and platinum performance.
I also bought Pink Sapphire from WetNWild and it works great for a french manicure since even with a couple of coats you can see your nail line through 🙂

So guess this is the reason for its tuffness 😛
This one is called Sparkling Diamonds

One layer 🙂
And a closeup, one layer 🙂 gorgeous… i mean who doesn’t love a little sparkle? 😀

Have a wonderful sunday 🙂

DN / NOTD // Barry M – 305 / Flamingo Pink






This color is so nice and creamy.. its as the name indicates a amazing flamingo colored pink… And its really nice that it has a some what coral color over it to and as you can see depending on the light its in a good range from pinkish to orange. This is one my new from Barry M and i love it so much already. Would have wished that i had this before the summer started cause this is so summerly and fresh 🙂

I thought about doing my NOTD posts on english, since ive gotten alot of foreign readers. Mostly so all would get the same out of it 😉 let me know how what you think about 🙂

DN / NOTD // OPI – Sheer Your Toys

Det er en skøøøn farve 😀 Der er bitte små orange farvede korn som gir den en virkelig speciel farve i lyset.. De små korn kan nemt ses hvis man trykker på billedet så det blir stort 😀 Og det er altså 4 forskellige billeder :p
