Falling Leaves | Autumn Nail Art

27.9.14 Unknown 6 Comments




Autumn has to be my favourite season. It's not too hot, and not yet too cold... At least not normally. :) You can wear clothes in layers and there are beautiful warm colours everywhere. 

So I'm really into autumn nail art to celebrate my love for this wonderful season. And I'd really like to share that with you. This tutorial is really simple. You don't have to be an artist or accurate in any way. When you watch the video, you'll see, that the finished look seems a bit messy. I always leave my nails like this, because it washes off after at most two days anyway.


What do you love about autumn? What do you probably dislike?

Thank you for reading!
Have a nice day!

Loving Watercolour Pencils

19.9.14 Unknown 4 Comments



You can watch me drawing the blue tit on youtube!

I have always loved using pencils for colouring pictures. They are really easy to handle even though it can be frustrating when you sharpen them and they tend to break... ^^
As a child you usually have the waterproof pencils, which don't react to water at all and so did I. You can alter their intensity by using different levels of pressure. And a skilled person even knows how to mix different colours. 

Mixing colours is a lot different with watercolour pencils. They blend so well when they get exposed to water. It's wonderful to watch the colours getting brighter as you move the brush. You could say: "Why aren't you just using watercolours in the first place?" And here is where I point back to the accuracy that pencils can provide. You can place every streak exactly where you want it to be. Of course watercolour paintings can be detailed too. But it's so much easier with watercolour pencils. :)


Have you ever tried using them?

Have a nice day!
