My favorite nail arts and nail polishes from 2015

MAGYAR verzió

Happy last day of 2015 :) Today's blogpost is going to be a recap of the best nails from 2015. On Instagram I posted what 9 picture got the most likes (you can check it out HERE if you haven't seen it already), but today I will show you my favorites: nail arts and nail polishes. So this is goingt to be a journey through tiny nubs, old camera photos and terrible hand poses :D

My Christmas Eve nail art

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! In today's post I'm going to show you what nail art I wore for Christmas. I did this manicure on 24th afternoon, and I left it on my nails for 4 days (which is kind of a record for me :D), I only removed it yesterday evening.

Constellation Nail Art

MAGYAR verzió                                                                                                                    PR Sample

Today I'm going to show you a really easy but lovely nail art, I wear this for 2 days now and I'm still don't want to remove it, I think I will leave it until Christmas. But don't worry, I'm going to show you my Christmas Eve nail art too this week, but that's going to be the last post for the week.

4 Festive Nail Art with Cirque Colors Nail Polishes

MAGYAR verzió                                                                                                                    PR Sample

Today I'm going to show you not one, but four nail art that I created lately, using Cirque Colors nail polishes that I got for review. I tried to make them festive and Christmassy, but I didn't succeded in every case :D

A-England | Fotheringhay Castle

MAGYAR verzió                                                                                                       Nothing to disclose

I had this gorgeous polish - with an unpronounceable name :D - on my wishlist for a while, and now I finally could buy it. To be honest I can only repeat myself, because this polish is a standard A-England: interesting colour with an amazing formula.

Review | Born Pretty Store BPL-032

HUNGARIAN version                                                                                                   PR sample

Today I will show you a Winter/Christmas themed stamping plate that I got from Born Pretty Store for review. I didn't choosed this, they kindly sent it as an extra, and even though I tried to avoid stamping lately (I want to focus more on my freehand skills), I was really happy when I saw it, because (oddly) I don't have any Winter/Christams themed stamping plates.

ILNP | Ski Lodge, Time in a Bottle, Ferris Wheel, Lucky One

HUNGARIAN version                                                                                          Nothing to disclose

I hope you don't mind another ILNP post, I just did one last week with some randome picks. I just couldn't wait to show you my Winter/Holiday collection pre-orders. Sadly, I only could pick up 4 shades this time, but I really like Limelight, Cozy Mittens, XO and Empire, and I'm also thinking about Juliette, because I really need that along with Cirque Halcyon :D 

ILNP is one of my favorite brands, I think Barbra makes some really revolutionary finishes, but keeps everything brilliantly sophisticated.

Nail Art | Winter Vibes

PR sample

It's a bit hard for me to go into the Winter season, because I love Fall so much. And honestly there's not too much of options in the Winter theme: I don't like to paint Santa, Snowman and that kind of stuff, so theres only a couple of patterns that I can choose from. Also, getting around Christmas I feel this need that I HAVE TO use red in my nail arts, and that is something that I try to avoid (can you tell that I'm not a red wearer? :D).

ILNP | Paper Route, Poetry, Glory, First Class

Nothing to disclose

Before I would show you my picks of the ILNP Winter collection, I will show you 4 nail polishes that I picked up a couple of weeks ago. They were on my wishlist for a while, and now I finally could buy them.

FUN Lacquer | Coral Reef

Nothing to discose

I'm so happy that I finally could get Coral Reef from FUN Lacquer's 2nd Anniversary collection. I fell in love the minute I saw this beauty, and mostly because it's unique finish (holo glitters + shifting flakies) and awesome colour-combo.

Nail art with Cirque Colors nail lacquers

PR Sample

I'm going to show you 2 nail art that I made using Cirque Colors nail polishes. They are quite simple designs (well, compared what I usually do), because it's a lot harder working with quick drying nail polishes instead of acrylic paint.

Cirque Colors | Metropolis collection selection

PR sample

Annie from Cirque Colors was kind enough to send me 6 creme shades along with the Holiday collection, and since I never tried any Cirque cremes I was pretty excited what this brand can offer in terms of creme fomula.

Cupcake Polish | Holiday Magic collection

PR Sample

Today I have the pleasure to show you the Holiday Magic collection from Cupcake Polish. The collection will be available at cupcakepolish.com on December 1st 8PM CST.

Born Pretty Store | Transparent Peel-off basecoat review

PR Sample

Today I'm going to review a peel-off basecoat from Born Pretty Store. I'm using it almost every day for over 6 weeks now, so it had plenty of time to show it's benefits and downsides.

20K ♥

Nothing to disclose

Yesterday I noticed, that now we are 20.000 on my Instagram! When I started nail blogging 3 years ago I never thought I will have this many followers, supporters, it's a dream come true! This nail art is just as kitsch as much I'm happy right now :D

Thank you sooo much for your support <3

Colors by Llarowe | Winter jellies/crellies

PR sample

I'm about to show you the 6 new jellies/crellies that are going to be available for pre-order on November 23 from 12PM-8PM MST on llarowe.com and they will be $6 each.

Most of the polishes are leaning toward the jelly category, so you either will need 3 coats, or you can use them for glitter/UCC sandwich or a pond manicure.

A-England | Spirit of the Moors, Whispering Waves

PR Sample

Today I have 2 new A-England nail polishes to show you, both of them was kindly sent to me by Nailland.hu for review (Thank you Nailland ^^). Spirit of the Moors is from the To Emily Bronte collection, and Whispering Waves is one of the newest addition to the Heavenly Quotes collection.

Colors by Llarowe | Winter 2015 collection

PR Sample

And here it is another amazing Colors by Llarowe collection, with 12 new winter (and not so winter-y) shades. They turned out so pretty, it would be a pain to choose only one, as a favorite. There is something for everyone in this collection, it's really versatile.

Born Pretty Store brush review

PR Sample

In my last Born Pretty Store review package there was a nail art brush that I choosed, because I wanted to try out a more professional, a little bit pricier brush. I always use cheap ebay ones, you know that 3 for $1 brushes like THIS os THIS (I usually trim them with a nail scissors), and I was doing fine with them, but I wanted to see how these fancy nail art brushes work, and are they better than the cheap ones.

Vintage Roses

Nothing to disclose

You probably all know that one of my fave pattern is rose pattern. I like to paint my roses different ways, so today's manicure has a vintage, peony vibe. I did some really similar roses this year's 31 day challenge, you can check them out HERE.

FUN Lacquer | Cheers To The Holidays (H)

Nothing to disclose

FUN Lacquer's Christmas collection is soooo beautiful! I really like the two green one, but the two Cheers to the Holidays are the stars of the collection in my opinion. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to buy the only duochrome version of this polish and Desires (H) too.

piCture pOlish Nail Art Quarterly 2/2015

Purchased by me + PR Sample

It's PP NAQ time again! I'm so happy that I can be a participant in the second round too, the first one

Bundle Monster | Work It! stamping plates

PR Sample

I have 5 stamping pates to show you today, they all from Bundle Monster and they all related to sports. I did 1-1 nail art for each, and they might seems too much as a manicure, but I tried to use as many patterns as I could, so you can see the potencial of each plates. I'm not a big sport fan btw., but I love dancing, so the first plate is really calls my name!

Themed Thursday | October

Purchased by me + PR Sample

I tried out a new challenge this month called Themed Thursday. Two of my fave nail girls started it, @thenailpolishchallenge and @wondrouslypolished. The main theme was Halloween, so that's why I choosed this challenge instead of my regular WNAC.

A-England | Ascalon

Nothing to disclose

This nail polish waited so long to be swatched, I can't even remember when I bought it, but probably it was on sale at Nailland at some point, and bought it because I like greys.

Edgy Floral

Nothing to disclose

I'm still a little bit overwhelmed in the nail art front because the 31 day challenge, so I did a lot of swatching lately. But yesterday night I had the urgent need to paint something nice on my nails.

Envy Lacquer | Sugar Skull collection

PR Sample

Today I'm going to show you a collection called Sugar Skull from Envy Lacquer. I already showed you the Fall Rock Candy Trio, and now let's see this cute 6 piece collection!

Morgan Taylor | Under the Stars, Best Dressed, Rhythm and Blues, J'adore My Mani

PR Sample + Purchased by me

I have these nail polishes since May, and finally I had the chance to swach them. I swatched Morgan Taylor polishes before (if you missed them, you can read my reviews HERE), and these 4 beauties are just the same amazing quality that I'm used to when I paint my nails with a MT.

Bejeweled

PR Sample

Today I have a studded nail art for you to show. I rarely do this kind of nail art lately, I just totally fell in love with freehand, so it was a little bit refreshing to do something different. I got these awesome abalone nail decorations from Born Pretty Store and I thought I will use some gold studs and caviar beads with it.

Envy Lacquer | Fall Rock Candy Trio

PR Sample

Envy Lacquer is an indie brand from America and I'm going to show you the Fall Rock Candy Trio today. I also got the Sugar Skull collection for swatching, so I'm going to show you more Envy Lacquer beauties next week!

Cozy Blanket

PR sample

I did these nails a couple of days ago, and I'm totally loving them. I like to do plaid nails in the fall, they just feel appropriate :D I saw @kgrdnr Kristin's plaid nails a couple of weeks ago, and since then I wanted to do something similar. I especially fell in love with the colours.

Avon | Molten Metal & Nailwear pro+

PR sample

I have some Avon newbies to show you today. The Nailwear pro+ line got 6 new shades and there is a new collection called Molten Metal with 5 awesome metallic colours. I'm gonna show 2 from the Nailwear pro+ and 3 from the Molten Metals.

Autumn leaves

Nothing to disclose

You're probably remember these leaves, because I painted them before, in THIS manicure. Last weekend I wore Spiced Eggnog from ILNP again, and I thought I will decorate it with something autumnal. And of course, leaves were the first thing that came to my mind.

Tribal for fall!

PR Sample + Purchased by me

I like to make tribal nail art in the fall too, not just in the summer. It can look awesome with the autumn colour palette. I got these water decals from Born Pretty Store to review and I fell in love with them in the minute I saw them.

Urban Nail Art | Dance Raven Collection

PR Sample

I have some swatches of the aussie indie brand, Urban Nail Art's  Dance Raven collection, which is a 6 piece collection full of glitter holos.

ILNP | Mountain View, Spiced Eggnog, Maiden Lane, Clockwork

Nothing to disclose

ILNP is one of my favorite nail polish brands, they make amazing quality and unique polishes, but keeping them easy to wear. I'm always so excited about the new collections, and I was just beyond amazed by this year's fall collection. It was really hard to choose these 4 colours, because I also really like Glory, First Class and PLL, but there is also Dream Girl and....awww I wan't them all :D

piCture pOlish | New York

PR Sample

Nailland was kind enough to send me one of the new piCture pOlish collaboration shades to try it out. New York was created by Sisi from the webshop Color4Nails.

Cirque Colors | Bejeweled & Sani

Nothing to disclose

Nailland had a great news a couple of days earlier: a new nail polish brand will be available: Cirque Colors! The pre-order will finish on 05.10., and we can have 5% off from the original price. This great news was the final push to swatch my very first Cirque polishes that I bought a couple of months ago from Harlow&Co.

Finally, it's FALL!

Nothing to disclose!

It's pretty much Autumn here in Hungary now, I was waiting for these chilly days, it's so refreshing after the summer heat. Today's manicure is all about autumn. I created it for a nail art contest that Pshiit hosts at her instagram. Google Translator said it's international, so let's hope he's not a liar :D

piCture pOlish | Mad Magenta & Unicorn

Nothing to disclose

I have these two PP's quite a while now, but I didn't had the time to swatch them. You may already have seen them in a nail art, because I used them (and Watermelon) in my PP Nail Art Quarterly mani. Now let's see how they look like on my nails.

31DC2015 | Half moons, galaxies, watermarble, inspired by a color

Purchased by me + PR sample

I'm late with this blogpost...again :/

So, today you can see tribal half moons, alien and spacewalk, my first (kind of) pretty watermarble and my passion about weird greens.

31DC2015 | Delicate print, geometric, glitter

Damast on gold, wolf howling at the moon and T-rex saying ROAR :)

Btw. I totally forgot to post this yesterday :/

KBShimmer | That's Ore Like It!, Pros and Bronze

Nothing to disclose

I bought these two KBShimmer flakies from Harlow&Co. a couple of months ago. and now let's see how they look on my nails! I heard only good things about the KBS flakies and their amazing coverage, but I was a little bit sceptical. Well I shouldn't be. These are truly amazing, both of them is a 2 coater!

31DC2015 | Polka dots, Stripes, Animal print, Flowers

Purchased by me + PR sample

Polka dots with foxes, fall stripes, koi fish and peonies...<3

Cadillacquer | Masterpiece

Nothing to disclose

All right everyone, let me say this first: this nail polish is impossible to photograph :D I tried natural daylight, artificial light, flash...but nothing was quite right. I swear somehow this is worse than a neon polish :D So pay attention on my colour description rather than the swatches :/

31DC2015 | Metalic, rainbow, gradient

Purchased by me + PR sample

Are you ready for another set of 31DC? I hope you are, because I'm gonna show you my metalic, rainbow and gradient nails today. Btw. I will post these round-ups every monday and thursday, so now you know the schedule.

Femme Fatale Cosmetics | Art Of Witchcraft, In His House He Waits Dreaming, Moonlight Statues

Nothing to disclose!

I'm obsessed with Femme Fatale Cosmetics ever since I saw the first swatches of the Snow White collection. I think Femme Fatale makes the most unique, badass, edgy polishes nowadays. Their nail polishes are not pretty, the're not cute, but they are amazing and jaw dropping and I want them ALL!

31DC2015 | Gree, Blue, Violet, Black&White

Nothing to disclose

Here is the second pile of nail arts. Today I will show you the green, blue, violet and black&white manis that I made for 31DC2015. Again, all of them is handpainted with acrylic paint.
