hot tango

DAY 2

Good evening bae’s,

welcome to the second day of my Birthday nail art month.

Today I wanted to show you a very colorful and fun nail design compared to yesterday’s simple glitter nail design.
This look was a lot of fun. It took a while but it was totally worth it.

Polishes I used

I used several different colors, trying to pick colors that are bright and without shimmer or glitter in them.

Astor – Fashion Studio – 202
Ciaté – PP060 – ditch the heels
Ciaté – PP065 – big yellow taxi
p2 – sea’ la vie – 030 navy
p2 – color victim – 999 aloha dreams
p2 – last forever – 230 hot tango
ORLY – BAKED – 20497 tropical pop

It is very easy to accomplish this look. All you need are the different colors and a dotting tool. I used the bigger end of the tool to get bigger dots. I also used the back of a stamping plat to drip on the polishes so I can dip in the dotting tool. Start using one color and keep dotting away. Place the dots on different parts of the nail but of course leave free space for the other colors. If you are done with one nail, do the next etc. until all nail are down using the first color. Now continue these steps with each color you picked. Fill out the blanks with the rest of the colors. When you are down your nails should look like this.

I know it is a crazy design and maybe not everyone’s favorite or wearable to any occasion, but I think it is really fun and different.
I really liked creating this design and it was very easy.

How do you like it?

Hello everyone,

I am still super happy about today. As I told you before on my blog and facebook page, I went to the a Blogger Event named the BeautyBloggerCafé.

Before that I want to show you what I ordered for the event.

Blog Business Cards :D
I am really happy I got these, made it much easier today…..but anyway, yesterday I went to DM because I needed a concealer and powder. Since I also heard that the Ebelin “beauty blender” make up sponge is supposed to be pretty good I also bought this.

Now on to the Event today.
I was really excited since this was my first event ever to attend.
The lovely Julia from Julchens Traumwelt told me that she would be traveling to Berlin just for the event so we met up and went to the Event together.

Honestly, we were super excited and when we arrived and entered the location we were simply overwhelmed.
But since the Team of styleranking was super nice and welcoming we loosened up immediately.

The location was “The Apartment” and was a pre-WWII residential building which was very pretty.
I love these kind of buildings, we have a lot of them here in Berlin.

Now let me show you some pictures I took.

p2 room, where they had the full product range to check out and two stations to either get hand care with hand bath, peeling and other hand/skin care products or you could pick a p2 polish and get your nails done :)
I did both :P

as well in this room they had a chair with a bag full of p2 products in it.
We had to guess how many products were in there so we could win.

The room next to it was the Dawanda room, where we had the chance to make floral wreath’s with fake flowers.

I tried to replicate my blog flower, the cherry blossom

In the next room we could check out new perfumes from different brands and also Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber or Nicky Minaji.

They also had a corner for Elizabeth Arden products, which was interesting for me because I never really tried anything from them.

and here you can see the pretty bike we could win, but I didn’t^^
well at least not this, I won something else. More on that later.

hmmmm yummy cakepops

also in this room was a super nice mirror where we could try out some of the p2 make up products
in the background you can see the next room, they had 2 red carpets and lots of high heels which we could try and participate in a workshop on how to walk in those shoes^^

They had some crazy models

do you see the eiffel tower heel? …. what? haha

and here my personal favorite :D
those were awesome, but sadly not in my size

look at all those pretty feet :)
my fellow blogger, do you recognize yourself?

the workshop was a lot of fun, you can see that pretty well in the following picture

learning how to work it

of course they also had loads of drinks and food so we wouldn’t starve^^

networking (usually it was more full in the kitchen, even if you can’t see it in this picture)

The event was really great and if this is not enough, we also got a super heavy goodie bag on our way out.

I am simply overwhelmed by what happened today.
I met so many nice and awesome people today. We talked and shared experiences and gave each other tips on several things.
Hearing everyone’s story and seeing the faces and people behind the blogs was really great.

A big thank you to everyone who was there and took the time to make this an awesome day.

Also a huge thank you to styleranking and the people organizing the BeautyBloggerCafé, especially René who always had a smile on his face and was super nice and involved in everything. He kept asking everyone how they like the event and also listening to our stories.

I really appreciate today and am very very happy.

Thanks again to everyone.
