Natural nails

Dec 23, 2014

I wrote in a post a while ago that I have quite recently removed all the gel from the nails, gel that has been sitting for a few months after I stopped fixing the nails at the salon.

Therefore, there are two nice nuances of Paese Nail Polish which I have not been able to show before, because they are natural and a bit transparent so my gel nails would have shone through if I tried to show you. But they are super nice now that I have very nice nails naturally :)

The nail polish from Paese differs a bit depending on which shade you choose, most colors become completely opaque after only a thin layer, e.g. the pink nails I wrote about in this post. There I have only painted one layer.

But the shades 103 and 104 are more in the natural direction, and there it is meant that they should not be as opaque because all the different layers are nice in different ways. For many, just one layer is enough and it will be great!

Here are pictures of these two nail polishes:

The shade 103 is an illuminating nail polish with a light beige-pink tone.

♥ After a layer, the nails get a nice shine and a discreet brightening effect.
♥ My favorite is after 2 layers, as the shade is very light and nice but you can still see the nail underneath clearly.
♥ And after 3 coats, you have an even lighter color that is really nice too!

The shade 104 is a light bubble gum pink shade that gives more color to the nails!

♥ After a layer, the nails get a nice shine and a discreet light pink color.
♥ My favorite is after 2 layers, as the color is clear but you can still see that the nail underneath shines through.
♥ And after 3 coats, you have a comprehensive result and nice bubble gum pink nails!

What do you think is the finest, one or more layers? :)

I personally think that two layers are the finest, but I love all three varieties!

It is also nice to mix, here is a pink layer on top of the light nail polish!

The only thing that is important is to paint thin layers and wait until the nails are completely dry before painting the next one. Paese's nail polish dries quickly, but if you paint two thick layers in a row and get a comprehensive result immediately, then the varnish will be soft for a long time (applies to basically all nail polish, not just Paese) and you will not make time for it in the end when you stand there with half of your nails destroyed and have to start over.

If you are careful when painting, Paese's nail polish can last for a week without getting ugly and abraded! It depends a bit on what you have for nail quality as well, but I have read many reviews on the Internet and they are rewritten precisely for their long durability, and I have on creativemakeup.se also received a review written after 5 days "Have had it for 5 days now and not a single chafed nail yet :) ”, super cool!

These two shades still only cost 25 kronor on Christmas sale on Byher.se! :)

Hugs are!

Cleaner pores (Before & After)

So before Christmas and New Year's Eve, it can be cozy to have a spa day some day before you want to feel a little extra nice. Especially if you have oily and impure skin, then you can really feel a little more "on top" if you have had a take-care-of-the-skin day in advance and cleansed the skin deeply!

I who have both sensitive and oily skin invest in cleaning the skin properly, and then soothing and moisturizing it as much as possible afterwards.

Now I thought I would tell you about my facial routine on the days I take care of the skin a little more than usual, with a focus on making it as clean as possible before it's time for a soothing face mask!

1. Open the pores by boiling a saucepan of water and then sit for about 5 minutes and keep your face above the water vapor.

2. Scrub the face with a mild peeling (not one for the body, but one that is adapted for the face), I use Sanctum Gentle Face Exfoliant.

3. Then apply a deep cleansing face mask that pulls out excess oil and impurities from the pores, I recommend Lumene Matt Touch Deep-Cleansing Peat Mask it is very good! Both me and my sister see a difference in the pores already after the first use.

4. If you, like me, also have sensitive skin, then feel free to finish with a soothing, moisturizing and healing face mask, I use Sanctum Hydrating Gel Mask, feel free to read my post about the one I wrote today on Modernmom.se!

I do not have a lot of blackheads and impurities, but you still see a little difference in the before and after pictures! So this is the same day, before and after the four steps I wrote about above.

Hope the post was helpful!

I bleached my teeth Creative Make Up in Uppsala, the same salon that I work at sometimes and where I have also received my beautiful make-up tattoos! And since Annika and I have gotten to know each other through our jobs together, I have flirted with a little extra sale and offers for my readers :)

As usual, you always get a 10% discount on Creative Make Up if you enter my blog, this applies to both tattoos, fix of eyebrows / lashes, and products. And now I also have a small deal when it comes to teeth whitening (read my previous post here) if you whiten your teeth and enter my blog, you get a lip balm with spf 15 from gloMinerals for free!

If you have still not bought the last Christmas presents yet, and have an important person left who deserves something extra, then a gift card at Creative Make Up (for those of you who live near Uppsala) is absolutely perfect!

Tooth whitening currently costs only SEK 2,900 (ordinary price SEK 4,500) and you can both call and book on 018 10 50 13 or text-book on 070 78 67 699!

It is fully booked if you want to whiten your teeth before New Year's Eve (27th), but you can put yourself on a last-minute list if you want to be called in the event of a rebid.

On New Year's Eve, I will work at the salon and do New Year's make - up, in case you want to be a little extra nice before the evening! :)

Kraaaam!

Very often I get the question "what make-up do you like most about yourself?" and I have different answers in different periods, but right now it is natural eyes that are compensated with a super nice lipstick that takes all the focus!

That look is also suitable for everyday and for parties, so you can have it all the time no matter what you do :)

And that's exactly what I actually looked like last Saturday when I was in Stockholm and met my wonderful group of girls that I hung out with every day during high school. We lived in a boarding school and both went to school together and hung out after school, so it was a bit of a shock when we took the student and everyone moved in different directions.

We have not managed to see all 6 at the same time once before last Saturday, but then we were all together! :) It's hard to find a day when everyone can, especially since one lives in the US and another in Gothenburg. We started with dinner at Nicolin's house and thought about going out to the galley, but you know how much you have to talk about too so we knew we might get stuck at the dinner table, and that was exactly what we did too :)

Then this make-up was perfect! I had nice basic clothes that I had pimped up with a large necklace, gold tattoos and this make-up, so I was comfortable but nice both at dinner and possibly dance floor!

The lipstick is Yves Rocher Grand Rouge Lipstick in shade 24 Violine Lumineux.

Hugs are!
