Roundup for May 2015

Yet another month has passed and it feels like time has flied this month too! It’s been a busy month for me, also because of the upcoming nail care book that I’m currently working on.
I’ve also done a loose glitter guide in May where I’ve summarized my experiences with loose glitter and where I did some step by step tutorials showing how loose glitter could be used.

Features
I’ve had three features this month, all of them at Eleven.se.

• Faded dots with Revlon polishes – The color combination is not spring-like at all but I do love how these colors worked together. Spring has probably passed anyway. June should be a summer month, right? ;D
• Graduation nails – I did three looks for this guest post and one of them was a floral which I loved a lot!
• Marbled Nails – I love how these nails came out. They really mimic white marble!

Nail Art
I was really into florals this month and while I’ve actually done other types of nail arts, the flowers were my favorites. Let’s take a look at them.

• Dried flowers on a turquoise gradient – I love how these dried flowers worked together with the gradient and the glitter. I loved this manicure that much that I did a second manicure with dry flowers, this time mattified.
• Flowers done with the watercolor technique – Another favorite this month! I love white manicures and together with the turquoise flowers it was such a perfect match!
• Graduation nails – A third kind of floral manicure. I loved the interaction between the gold, the pink and the white.

Polishes

I feel I should have featured at least one of Zoya – Naturel Satins among my favorites this month but I just didn’t know which one of my other three favorites to remove so I’ll just mention them in general. I actually think they deserve a separate post as a collection so I’ll do that instead in the near future!

• Glam Polish – Ilusion – This is so pretty! Love the shade, love the finish, and love the application! Besides that, the polish actually worked really well as a base for my roses!
• A England – Captive Goddess – An intricate polish with a steel gray shade and a slightly duochrome finish coming from A England’s recently released collection Rosetti’s Goddess.
• Smitten Polish – Let’s Kiss– I love the matte finish this spring and this polish had such a gorgeous look on the nails! I loved the pastel shade and I loved how it looked as a matte!
