Especial de Fim de Ano - XIII

Holidays Special -XIII

Outra inspiracao para fazer as suas unhas nesse fim de ano. Essa unha eh perfeita para o reveillon, para combinar com qualquer tom de roupa, inclusive o branco. Eu combinei duas cores, um prata e um incolor com particulas de cintilancia. Nao chega a ser glitter, pois as particulas sao bem minusculas, mas eh beeem brilhante. Um luxo so! rs Eu tirei fotos sob diversas luzes, pois nenhuma fazia jus a cor super brilhante do esmalte. A terceira foto eh a que ficou mais parecida. Espero que gostem!

Another inspiration to make your nails this holidays. This mani is perfect for the new year, to match any outfit colour that you choose, including white. I combined two shades, a silver one and a clear one with shiny particles. I wouldn't call it glitter because the particles are very tiny, but it is very sparkling! I took photos under different lighting, because none of them were capturing the true sparkles of the polish. The third picture is the one that best represents. I hope you like it!

Holidays Special - XI and Silly Moment of the Day


Hoje o post eh duplo! Vou juntar o tema de fim de ano com o momento palhacitos! Eu fiz essa colagem pra pendurar do lado de fora da minha porta (mas nao achei coragem! hehehe). Eu estava num momento muito criativo (!) e sai colando imagens e palavras no papel-cartao. Entao, decidi que isso ia virar post, quem sabe a minha arte nao inspira voces a fazerem seus proprios ornamentos para o Natal? Reciclagem eh tudo!!! :D

Today is a double post! I joined the holidays theme with a silly moment of the day! I made this collage to hang outside my door (but I didn't have the courage to do so! hehehe). I was in a very creative (!)  moment and just started gluing images and words on a bristol paper. So I decided that it would become a post, maybe my art will inspire you all to make your own ornaments for this season! Recycling is everything! :D
