Hi everyone! The weather is crap at the moment. Constantly going up and down. So does my blood circulation. I'm not the "yay! sunshine!!" kinda type, but warmer sunnier days and more stable weather would be nice nevertheless. In order to fight the grey mood I'm sporting some ombre nails now.

Ombre nails are the kind of manicure anyone can do (I call it "nail art for dummies"). Just like skittles manicures, you only need different colours and an eye for nice colour combinations. With ombre manis it's even easier, a gradation of one colour will do.

The colours remind me of ripe fruit like peaches, cherries and blackberries. Hmm... =)~~ *drooling*

So... the polishes I used, from darkest to lightest colour:

P2 Hypoallergen + Quick Dry Base Coat
P2 140 Diva
Rival de Loop 20
Nivea 43 Cherry Glaze (it's actually more pink than on the pictures... think crystallised cherries)
Essence Denim Wanted! 01 High Waist Pink (also this one is more neon in real life)
Eyeko Nude Polish, Catrice Biscuits and Cupcakes on top of it
Essence Better Than Gel Nails topsealer

By the way, this is my new umbrella. It's pink with dots! It's somewhat sad though that I have to use it so often at the moment.

Anyways, I hope you guys will have a nice weekend. :) See ya!

Hey there :) I finally managed to do a nice manicure that I am willing to show you. The previous one was a checkered mani that went bad. Too messy...

So this manicure was "inspired" (some might say "ripped of") from Trincess at Emerald Sparkled who again had the idea from Rebecca.
So honour to whom honour is due...

You can definitely see the similarity between all the three manicures. However, they are not completely alike. I have a lot less dots and circles than the other two.

Oh, this indigo blue by Eyeko is so nice! It has such a nice depth to it. Makes me think of pictures made by the Hubble telescope... night sky...

*coughs* So here are the polishes I used:

P2 Base + Care Coat
Eyeko Indigo Polish
Sally Hansen Aqua Chrome (bought it at my visit in NYC almost ten years ago)
Arezia, some sparkly foily prussian blue for the little dots
Essence Better Than Gel Nails topsealer

Thanks for stopping by and see you again soon!

Hi, my name is Naekubi and I am a nail polish addict.

It all started when I was 16. At that age I bought my first nail polish, a blue-green-gold multichrome polish by Manhattan. My addiction didn't stop there. Over the years, I bought more and more polish whenever I could afford it, mostly blue and purple polish. After my collection had grown to approximately 35 bottles, I stopped.

The duochrome craze of the nineties faded and I was waiting for some new colours to feed my addiction. They didn't come as soon as I expected. Instead, I lived a poor university student's life and saved my money for books.

The addiction flared up again in the late 2000's, when the beauty blogosphere started to take off to higher grounds. With every new trend edition or limited edition in reach, things got serious. Well, seriously out of control.

Now I'm sitting here with over 120 nailpolish bottles, a lot of them are yet to be tried. But still not satisfied. I thought I would stop at some point when the whole spectrum of the rainbow would be stashed in my two shoe boxes. Little did I know that the number of colours and shades is infinite. And this infinite number has to bemultiplied with the infinite number of finishes, be it cream, shimmer, pearl, frost, glass flecks, foil, jelly, neon, matte, glitter, chunky glitter, holographic, metallic, duochrome, iridescent and more.

I need more shoe boxes.

Nope, it doesn't stop. Now even other people get involved: I asked one of my sister's friends from the States to get me some OPI and Sally Hansen. I try to imagine that big guy, an Afghanistan veteran, in a local mall or drugstore, asking for OPI's Spark de Triomphe and Sally Hansen's Rock Star Pink...

And yet, I don't show any signs of improvement, not to mention regret.

Sorry guys for this unusually open-hearted confession. ^^

Here's the list of polishes I used on my sister's nails:
P2 Base + Care Coat
H&M Going bananas (yellow, of course, and, of course, awful to apply)
MNY 409A (thin, thin, thin icy blue)
Eyeko Lilac Polish (nice creamy violet/lilac colour)
Essence Quick Dry Drops, topcoat

Thanks Bill! Hope to get to know you this summer!

And to my currently 40 readers (hooray!): See you next time!

After all that glitter, the gold and the incredible sparkling I was craving for something fresh and rather simple. So I came up with this manicure. I call it the "pajama design". I'm thinking of blue pants combined with a striped shirt for bedtime. Feels nice and cuddly...

I used the following polishes:
P2 Base + Care Coat
P2 unforgettable (it's actually more turquoise than blue)
Eyeko Vintage Polish (it's actually more jade green than light blue, it's quite sheer)
Essence Quick Dry Drops
Depend Top Coat

I painted the stripes free handed with a brush.

By the way, my nails are shorter now. When you can't put your contact lenses neither in nor out for the love of god, it's about time...

Blau gehört zu meinen Lieblingsfarben. Deshalb heute eine Maniküre in Blautönen. Ich habe zur Dekoration wieder einmal Punkte verwendet. Einerseits sind sie einfach hinzubekommen (mit Schaschlikspießchen oder einem Dotting-Tool), andererseits sehr variabel.

Eigentlich hatte ich vor, alle meine Nägel so wie die beiden Daumen zu gestalten, aber mir fehlte es an Zeit (schwere Klausur vor mir). Aber die Nägel knallen trotzdem ordentlich. :)

Ich weiß, dass es bei den Nagellackjunkies zwei Lager gibt: Die einen lieben Nailart und die anderen hassen sie wie die Pest. Ich gehöre zu ersteren, klar. Meine Nägel sind meist das einzige Bling-Bling in meinem Outfit, da geht das in Ordnung und ist nicht tussig.

Verwendet habe ich folgende Lacke:

P2 Base + Care Coat
Eyeko Rain Polish (Zeigefinger)
P2 triple power nailpolish 091 (Mittelfinger)
P2 Color Victim dangerous (Ringfinger)
Essence Nail Art Twins bonnie (kleiner Finger)
darüber: Manhattan Aqua Pearls 114
Punkte: Manhattan Super Quick Dry 80
Sekundentrockner

Bis demnächst auf meinem Blog!

Blue is one of my favourite colours. So today's manicure is all in blue. Again I used dots as decoration. They are easy to do (with a toothpick or a dotting tool) on the one hand, and they are very versatile on the other hand.

Actually I wanted to paint all my nails like my two thumbs but I didn't have that much time (difficult exam ahead of me). Yet, the nails are shining nicely. :)

I know that the nail polish addicts are divided into two groups: Those who adore nail design and those who despise it. I'm in the first group, who would have guessed. Since my nails are the only bling-bling in my outfit I think that this is still ok and not tacky.

I used the following polishes:

P2 Base + Care Coat
Eyeko Rain Polish (index finger)
P2 triple power nailpolish 091 (middle finger)
P2 color victim dangerous (ring finger)
Essence nail art twins bonnie (pinkie)
on top of that: Manhattan Aqua Pearls 114
dots: Manhattan super quick dry 80
quick-drying topcoat

See you on my blog again soon!

Lang ists her. Ich bin derzeit ein bisschen im Stress (Uni, Prüfungen, Weihnachten, you name it), weswegen es hier im Nagelstudio etwas ruhiger wird. Nichtsdestotrotz poste ich eine kleine Maniküre für die treuen Leser... Es ist eine Fauler-Sack-Mani, weil ich derzeit nicht viel Zeit habe.
Warnung: Bitte beachtet nicht meine extrem faltigen Finger. Dieses Winterwetter kombiniert mit Fahrradfahren macht jegliche Handpflege zunichte.

Verwendet wurden:

P2 Base + Care Coat
Manhattan Calypso Shine 214 (perlweiß)
Essence Pool Party (blau)
Eyeko Nude Polish (nude)
Nail Color Nail Nail (mintgrün)
Eyeko Lilac Polish (lila)
Sekundentrockner, Überlack

Bis zur nächsten Maniküre!

It's been a while. At the moment I am a bit stressed (uni, exams, Christmas, you name it), so this is why my little nail beauty salon is a bit quiet. Nevertheless I'm posting a new manicure for my loyal readers...
It is quite a lazy-ass mani since I lack some time.
Warning: Please don't pay attention to my extremely wrinkly fingers. This cold weather combined with cycling makes all my hand care procedures futile.

I used:

P2 Base + Care Coat
Manhattan Calypso Shine 214 (pearly white)
Essence Pool Party (blue)
Eyeko Nude Polish (nude)
Nail Color Nail Nail (minty green)
Eyeko Lilac Polish (purple)
Quick Dry coat, topcoat

See you at the next manicure!

Meine Schwester führt eine neue Maniküre spazieren. Der Weg dorthin war frustrierend und steinig. Nicht nur, dass ich derzeit recht unkreativ bin, nein, wir hatten auch sämtliche Unfälle, die einem beim Lackieren passieren können: Zähe Nagellacke, versehentliches Abwischen und Verwischen, miese Nagelaufkleber, Unaufmerksamkeit, schlechtes Licht.

Nichtsdestotrotz: Hier ist das Ergebnis eines Samstagabends:

eine Schicht P2 Base + Care Coat
Rival de Loop Nr. 20 (rot)
Essence Nailart Twins 03 bonnie (blau)
Eyeko Nude Polish (nude)
Yesensy Nr. 33 (grün)
ein Weiß das Fäden zog wie Käsefondue
Schnelltrockner
Topcoat

Später zeige ich euch meine eigene Maniküre für diese Woche...

English:

My sister is walking around with a new manicure. The way to it was frustrating and plagued with problems. Not only that I am very uncreative at the moment, no, we had every accident possible when it comes to doing your nails: Stringy nailpolish, accidental removing and smearing, crappy nail decals, poor attention, bad lighting.

Nevertheless, this is the result of saturday night's efforts:

one coat P2 Base + Care Coat
Rival de Loop Nr. 20 (red)
Essence Nailart Twins 03 bonnie (blue)
Eyeko Nude Polish (nude)
Yesensy Nr. 33 (green)
a white polish that was as stringy as swiss cheese fondue
Quick-dry polish
Topcoat

Later on I'll show you my own manicure for this week.

Das aktuelle Nagelstudio #5

Nachdem die zweiwöchige Lackpause vorbei ist (endlich!), kommt hier eine neue kleine Maniküre aus dem Hause Naekubi.

Inspiration findet man ja grundsätzlich an vielen Stellen, zum Beispiel auf anderen Nagel-Blogs, in youtube-Tutorials und vielem mehr. Bei mir war es ein Unterwäsche-Set :D

Das Design besteht hauptsächlich aus Farben, die ich zwar gekauft hatte, jedoch nie eine Gelegenheit fand sie zu benutzen. Dazu gehören einige Eyekos und ein P2-Lack.

Hier also die Liste:

eine Schicht P2 Base + Care Coat
eine Schicht Eyeko Cosmic Polish (oh, der holographische Glitter!)
Pünktchen mit Olu Olu in waiwai716, Eyeko Nude Polish, Eyeko Lilac Polish und P2 050 Summer Cocktail (aus der Sun Love LE)
eine Schicht Four Seasons Sekundentrockner
eine Schicht Depend Überlack

Gute Fotos zu machen ist derzeit ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit, aber ich hoffe man erkennt trotzdem etwas. Im letzten unscharfen Foto sieht man gut den Glitter-Effekt (zum Vergrößern bitte klicken).

English:

Since the two weeks of nail polish break are over (finally!) I have a new manicure for you by Maison Naekubi.

Basically, you can find inspiration in a lot of different places like on nail art blogs, in youtube tutorials and many more. This time for me it was a lingerie set :D

The design consists of colours that I had bought, yet haven't had any opportunity to use. A lot of Eyeko Polishes and some P2 polishes belong into that category.

So here's the list:

one layer P2 Base + Care Coat
one layer Eyeko Cosmic Polish (behold, the holographic glitter!)
Dots made with Olu Olu in waiwai716, Eyeko Nude Polish, Eyeko Lilac Polish and P2 050 Summer Cocktail (from Sun Love LE)
Four Seasons Quick Dry Lacquer
Depend Topcoat

Taking good pictures is almost impossible at the moment, but I do hope you can identify the manicure. In the last blurry picture you can recognise the glitter effect quite well (click to enlarge).
