#31Nails2014 Day 7: Black and White - 2 - Flowers

Hello everyone!

My second black and white mani for Day 7 in the 31 Day challenge (#31Nails2014)  was made back in January, and finally I'm making a blog post about it.

I painted my nails white with IsaDora #603 Tip White (which is cruelty- free), top coated, and stamped the flowers on with Konad SP Black and two stamping plates from MoYou London; Pro Collection 07 (small) and 14 (XL).

Because of my small nail beds, I often have to buy the same image in both XL to fit my thumbs and in small to look good on the other nails. It's a little frustrating economically, but here it also gave me the opportunity to mix up the images so that I got the variation I wanted on the nails.

I don't remember if I used a top coat. I usually do. But because of the low winter light outside, I've probably had to use the Ott- lite, and then the manis look matte on the photos... Do you have any god suggestions for winter photography?

H&M Khaki Madness in the Botanical Garden

Hello everyone!

H&M: Khaki Madness

The nail polish I want to show you today is Khaki Madness by Hennes and Mauritz (H&M). It's been a tough week for both me, my nails and my PC. Below you can see what happened before I applied the second coat! I never get to have square nails for a long time... To compensate for the short nails, I added some flowers :-)

So the rest of the photos shows my right hand. The nail on the index finger broke on that hand too, but they have had a week or so to grow. And I'm wearing a piece of teabag on the thumb nail on these photos. (But yesterday that nail broke...) When I started blogging it didn't matter which hand I used, but now the left is more used to pose, and I'm more used to hold the camera and take photos with the right hand.

Something bad happened to my dear PC. Luckily I have a boyfriend who loves to repair PCs, so it didn't have to go to "hospital". After some days he had to install Windows. So now not even the mouse wanted to behave as it used to. Everything has to be downloaded, and I even needed help to get these photos transferred to Picasa. It's very frustrating. And I'm afraid of clicking on things. But I'm glad I didn't have to buy a new PC.

I nearly forgot to tell about this polish! It's brand new. And I wanted to wear it right away. It's the exact same color as one of my T-shirts, and I love the color. It's a lovely mix of military green and gold. In the bottle it looks like there is some silver glitter, but  I couldn't see it on the nail. The color reminds me a little of Chanel Peridot, and very much of a Color Club glitter magnetic that I tried later that day. This is two coats. And as always, I like to mention that H&M is not tested on animals, and can be found on the animal organization's cruelty- free lists.

I have cut all my nails now. But now that I've decided to try fake nails, I wish I hadn't done it...  And of course I cut the ring finger nail a bit too short... I wish I didn't have so short nails right before the Tri- Polish Challenge. I'm also waiting for something from KKCenterHk that I need long nails to show you! :-(

It was really nice to see some flowers, and to feel the warmth in the greenhouses. I'm looking forward to summer.
