A Fresh Start

-
As a nail art lover and a nurse at the same time I have been finding it hard to keep up with both my passions.
I'm determined to make it happen and created this space to share my little plays with nail polish with whoever wants to see it :)

 I promise I'll try to make it short but thought it would be good to introduce myself, so here it goes!

My name is Ines but known in the blog world as Piikky. I used to have another blog back in the day dedicated to share my thoughts and passions which turned out to be most about nail polishes and me having fun with them.
Unfortunately life as a nurse does not really go well with having long beautiful nails and nail polish on so I fell off track and stopped posting regularly (eventually at all!). Feel free to have a look if you want to but fair warning: it's all in portuguese! haha

 So... new life, new blog! I probably will not be able to post super regularly but my aim is to do so whenever I have time off and end up playing with nail art. Let's start!

 This is the most recent design I decided to venture in. The creation is not by me, it's actually from cutepolish on YouTube, but this is my take on it.



Base: Kiko Jelly Jungle Strengthener Nail Base
Background colour: Andreia pocket No. 107
For the flowers: Risqué Grão de Café
                           Cliché Glamour Madona
                           Leticia Well No.805
Top coat: Essence quick dry top coat

Experiment: Gel nail polish manicure

Hey everyone, In my search for new nail polishes and a way of providing my mum with a good and durable manicure (yes she's rubbish at it and a day later the polish is already chipped badly) I came across a little kit for a gel nail polish manicure at home. The price on Amazon wasn't too bad considering the products included and since I wanted it as an experience and a present for my mum I decided to try it. This particular kit included a portable LED lamp, samples (6ml) of a base coat and a non-wipe top coat, 6 different shades of gel nail polish (also 6mls each), a cuticle oil, double sided cuticle pusher, cuticle fork, polishing file, nail clippers, nail separators x2, a nail brush and a brush for your nail files, a nail buffer, 20 prep clean wraps and finally 50 mail remover wraps. A bargain!! I have tried almost all of these tools and can say they are really good quality. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the nail clippers and the cuticle oil are. I cannot give ...

Natural look

Fall is here now and I've been seeing all these beautiful colours around the internet. For some reason I don't really feel like experimenting with them quite yet and have been really drawn to a more natural nail look that at the same time looks put together. I recently picked up this beautiful shear nail polish that gives me the exact look I want and have been enjoying wearing it with it's normal shiny finish and sometimes with a matte top coat. I do really think it looks good both ways but the matte look is just amazing! As usual here goes the polishes I used: Base coat: Kiko Jelly Jungle Strengthener Nail Base Main colour: Essie Limoscene Top coat: Essie Good to Go        /        Matte top coat: Barry M Matte - Topcoat PS: recently I did try a peel off base coat as I don't wear the nail polish for too long but the one I used completely ruined my nails. I might write about it sometime soon, maybe.
