[SoMoNight] the man from U.N.C.L.E.

Hey lovelies,

today I would like to give you a small inside on the past SocialMovieNight by Robert Hofmann for the movie The man from U.N.C.L.E. (Codname: U.N.C.L.E. in Germany)

The man from U.N.C.L.E. is an action comedy spy film directed by Guy Ritchie and co-written by Lionel Wigram and Ritchie, based on the 1964 MGM television series of the same name created by Sam Rolfe. The film stars Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki and Hugh Grant. The film will be released on August 13, 2015.

In the early 1960s, CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB operative Illya Kuryakin participate in a joint mission against a mysterious criminal organization, which is working to proliferate nuclear weapons.

For that night I created a nail design as well as a pedicure, that would match the subject of the movie.

With a little help from California Nails I did a USA flag design on my toes and partially on my nails as well as the missions name U.N.C.L.E.

 

How do you like the combination ?

Thank you to Felix for taking this lovely picture (check him out on Instagram)

For my toes I used the USA flag toe nail tips from California Nails. A quick and easy way to impress with a clean design.

The SocialMovieNight was as fun as always.

Robert Hofmann and his co-host Mr. Trashpack, as well as moderator Patrice Bouédibéla led through the evening.

A couple of the guest came in movie matching outfits.

My nails were also a big hit.

Before the movie started we took the typical SocialMovieNight selfie.

[sponsored] California Nails – neon beach collection nail stickers

Good evening lovelies,

tonight I would like to introduce you to the neon beach nail sticker collecction by California Nails.

In my previous posts I already told you a little bit about the Company and also their awesome toe nail tips. You can find the links to these posts at the bottom of today’s review.

 

The neon beach nail sticker collection was part of the package I received recently.

I was lucky enough to get all four colors, which I really appreciate, because first of all I love neons and second of all the quality is amazing!

The neon beach nail sticker collection comes in four colors:

 

  • neon yellow
  • neon orange
  • neon pink
  • neon green

First of all I want to apologize for the following pictures. It is really difficult to catch the neon-ness under artificial light.

All nail stickers come in a cute card like “packaging”, including a step by step instruction and come with 20 different sized stickers.

How do you apply them?

  • file your nails
  • push back the cuticles
  • clean your nails off any oils or dust
  • match the stickers to your nails, if needed cut them to size
  • take them off the paper and put them on to your nails
  • press them down firmly and make sure to get the edges without any wrinkles
  • cut off the excess sticker and file off the rest
  • if you would like add a clear top coat

I added a fast drying top coat from Ciaté, but it splitted right off after a day^^
So maybe use a different clear polish :)

On the following pictures you can see how difficult it is to catch the pretty neon, which makes me a bit sad. It is much more beautiful.
I paired the neon orange nail stickers with the current nail stickers from p2’s some like it hot LE.

Today I also took pictures under direct sunlight hoping to catch the neon a bit better.

I really like these nail stickers and I pry that they will come out with way more colors and designs. I have never used nail stickers that applied that easy and without any folds and wrinkes.
Sadly today, only after one day I had to take them off, because two of my nails broke off. But the good thing about this is that I know now that you can simply peel them off without damaging your natural nails.

If you would like to let them know how you like the neon beach collection or which colors you would like, send them an e-mail at stick@c-nails.com

Hey lovelies,

as promised, today I have an interesting blog post for you about the toe nail tips form California Nails.

Not only was I lucky enough to receive 3 packs of their toe nail tips, but also the neon beach nail sticker collection. Thank you so much to the super nice team of California Nails!

IMG_4244b

Currently they offer 22 of 23 different designs for the toe nail tips and 4 neon colors within the neon beach nail sticker collection.

They asked me which designs I liked and therefore send me the following:

The rainbow pastel nail toe tips with glitter are really gorgeous, but it was difficult for me to catch that on camera.

Each pack contains 24 different sized nail tips to choose from. I took all of them out of the package to show what you can expect. I really like that they choose so many sizes and also placed numbers at the tips so you can easily pick them up and get the same sizes for both feet. You can also use your nail file to shape and resize them if needed.

Each pack comes with a small nail file and glue to secure your nail tips.
The set with the skulls also contained a plastic stick/skewer with which you could push back your cuticles. With the other side you could pick up the nail tips.

The application process is very easy:

  • if needed, shorten and file your natural nails
  • use cuticle remover and push back your cuticles
    (my favorite one is the instant cuticle remover from Sally Hansen)
  • buff and clean your nails from any dust and oils
    (you can use 90% alcohol or polish remover)
  • find the right size for your toes
  • if needed, file them to size and shape
  • apply the right amount of glue to your nail
  • add the right nail tip and press firmly for 10-15 seconds
  • repeat with all your nails
  • last but not least clip off the tips and file the edges

To show you how easy the application is watch either the how to… video from California nails

 

or watch the version I recorded for you

 

As you can see, I picked the black silver glitter nail tips with rhinestones to wear first.

The nails should last for about  2 to 4 weeks, depending how well you buffed and cleaned the nails and how well you glued them to your natural nails.

I applied mine last week on Saturday and there was no splitting, or falling off so far. I showered several times and took a bath as well. Nothing happened :)

If you have more questions, you can also check (the german) FAQ on their website.

I also decided to match my fingernails to my pretty toe nails. How do you like them?

The following two pictures show my feet in direct sunlight. Isn’t that pretty?!

I am in love!
